DEMOCRATIC HOSTS RUSHING TO BATTLE Scenting Fray From Afar, Conven- tion Delegates Apparently Eager for Action. RBALLY TO FAVORITE SONS Huge Demonstrations Planned for McAdoo and Smith. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. NEW YORK, June 20.—Scenting the battle from afar, Democrats have been rushing into New York far ahead of their scheduled time of arrival. Word has come that the arrival of various special trains has been advanced in mome cases as much as a day. Every- body, apparently, wants t6 get in on the fray as early as possible, and all this would indicate there will be no hurry to get away from the convention is long drawn out. The carly arrivals have embarrass- ed a number of big hotels, particular- ly the Waldorf, wherc the national committte has its headquarters. Most of the convention reservations were made from Sunday, but thousands of delegates and visitors had arrived by Thursday There were other conventions in the city this week—New York is seldom without them—and one of the big- gest was at the Waldorf, the Retail Credit Men's Association. How to get the credit men out und the politicians into the same room sSpace has been a problem difficult to solve. ~Politics always has made strange bed-fellows, but maybe the credit men have ob- jected. By Sunday the tangle will be ended and then everything will be set for the long grind. be such tremendous demonstrations when William Gibbs McAdoo and Gov. Al Smith are placed 4in nomination before the convention the managers of the big show are wondering if the two events can be pulled off the same day or the same session. It may be necessary to have an adjournment in between times to stop the cheering, the pa- rading and the general racket. Mr. McAdoo will be the first of the big two to get before the convention, thanks to California coming so early on_the list of stat The Smith managers are arranging to be close behind, and the chances are that Connecticut will yield to New York when her name is called. Connecticut had figured on present- tng the name of her favorite son, Homer S. Cummings, but Mr. Cum- mings has been selected as chairman ®f the convention committee on reso- lutions_and has asked his brothers of the Nutmeg state not to offer him His wishes will be respected and, as Connecticut’'s second choice is Al Smith, the yvielding will be a simple matter. There are to Thanks to residing in Alabama, enator Oscar W. Underwood will ave the honor of leading all of the other candidates to the convention polls. The Underwood supporters are very much in earnest and believe there will be a great deal of en- thusiasm in the convention for their tavorite son. Ohio has not asked any of her sister states to yield for an early presentation of the claims of former Gov. James M. Cox and probably will wait patiently until her name is reached on the list of states. The Cox movement is being kept wholly & Buckeye a r up to this time, although substantial headquarters bave been .opened for him in the Waldorf Hotel. This headquarters really is Ohio delegation headquar- ters. The Ohio special train will arrive Sunday morning and with it will come the famous Cox campaign song, which resounded through San Francisco from the opening of the 1920 convention until that early SPECIAL NOTICES.

House of Smith Compaign.” Social Leaders With McAdoo—Mrs. Blair Works With Cordell Hull. Special Dispateh to The Star. NEW YORK, June 20.—Women are sitting officially in the seats of the mighty. For the first time in this country’s history women will wield their power from the throne instead of from their ancient place behind it when the Democratic convention opens here next week. Democratic women are trouping into New York from the four corners of the country to assume the place in the party they won four years ago and which the Republican women have just obtained. They are filling important places In the preconvention activity, is fully expected that they will play a real part when the convention ma- chinery goes into play Behold Emily Newell Blair, vice chairman of the national committee, sharing the honors and the labor of preparations with Cordell Hull, chair- man of the committee. A dainty, petite person, Mrs. Blair goes about her work in a room in the Waldorf, with her pink brocaded furniture un- littered with the disorder of papers and ashes that characterizes hours of the men. SavERSIRliSY Powerful and Active Women. In the headquarters of the candi- dates are powerful and active wom A short, stout woman in somber ments. with a calm, madonna:like face, has the office adjoining Al Smith in the New York governor's headquarters. Her name is Mrs Henry Muscowitz, and she is said to be the Col. House of the Smith cam- paign. Newspaper correspondents meet her as regularly and as re- spectfully_as they meet Smith and Franklin Rooseveit, his official man- ager. Mrs. Muscowitz directs the women's activities in behalf of Smith, as well as aiding materially in the general campaign. William Gibbs McAdoo's heaquar- ters, graced by a throng of smart society women, has Mrs. J. Borden morning hour when the son of Ohio finally won the day. This is the way the song goes: O-hi-o, O-hi-o, The hills send back the cry, “We're here to do or die” O-hi-o0, O-hi-o, We'll nominate Cox Or know the reason why!' In San Francisco the Cox boomers had a brass band with them. They Wwill not bring one to New York. The Cox boom is not a brass band affair this time. His supporters say they are for him to the end and believe he will win, Harriman to handle the important pre-convention work for the candi- date among the woman delegates. Mrs. Harriman, a tall, impressive woman, member of the most exclusive social sets of the country, labors along well defined lines to attract the feminine delegates as they drift into the metropolis. With Smith also are such well known wémen as Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, Miss Elizabeth Marbury, Mrs. John Blair, Mrs. William Good and Miss Nancy Cook, all of New York City. Supporters Are Prominent. At the McAdoo headquarters, Mrs. Antoinette Funk of Chicago and Washington, Mrs. Clara Scott Good- win of Chicago,.Mrs. Bernice Pyke of Ohlo, Mrs. Leroy Springs of South Carolina_ and Mrs. Duncan Dyer of New York are important ersonages. . P Women will not be solidly united as women on candidates, but they will stand together on certain issues. It is known that the woman dele- gates and committeewomen, by and large, do not-favor abrogation of the two-thirds rule, though it is un- doubted that, minority as they are they resent the unit rule which in- evitably accompanies it. Neverthe- less, they are unwilling to change the rules before the candidate is nominated, but consider that any change should obtain for the next convention, not for the present one. They will probably unite in favor of the planks in the platform ad- vocated by the woman clubs, inas- much as only five of the delegates are not members of federated wom- s organizations. A definite stand n world peace, a bonme-dry plank, a vigorcus expression on child labor and a demand for a federal depart- ment of education with a secretary in the cabinet will be the practically unanimous demands of ‘the woman delegates. Woman candidates and leaders are wondering if their power will de- velop into so real a factor that they will be called into the back-room conferences, which eventually will select the candidates. They doubt it, but hope springs eternal STATE POLICE CONTROL TOWN IN MINERS’ RIOTS Take Charge After Pitched Battle in Brady, W Va.—Four Union Men Arrested. By the Associated Press. MORGANTOWN, W. Va., June 20.— Fifteen members of the West Vir- ginia state police, in charge of Lieut. The selection of Homer Cummings | Hobart A, Brown, have been placed as chairman of the resolutions com- mittee means that the friends of the league of nations will have a strong ally at the head of the committee which is to draft the platform. Many of the delegates who will attend the convention this year remember the masterly oration delivered by Mr. Cummings at San Francisco. His tribute then to the work of Woodrow Wilson in the war and at the peace conference was a striking piece of rhetorical _sincerity. Mr. Cummings feels at this time that the party is under greater obligations than ever to its dead President and the plat- form references in that respect will be awaited with the keenest interest. There is no chance that this con- vention will be permitted to evade the league of nations issue. And thus far there is no indication among the arriving delegates of a desire to evade it. They say that Mr. Cool- idge's recent speeches all show an “international trend,” and they be- lieve the Republicans will\stress the international aspects of the country’s affairs. Coincident with the arrival of the first southern delegates, Georgia wa- termelons have made their appear- ance in restaurant windo and fruiterers’ shops. Some Georgia peaches also have arrived. \ There is something qiite inspiring about_the sumptuousness of some of the Democratic aspirants for the presidency. Mr. McAdoo is living at the Vanderbilt. Gov. Smith is at the Biltmore. Both had humble begin- nings, but their present surroundings are the last word in luxury. The Waldorf lobbies had a real thrill today. It was reported that Jim Ham Lewis of Chicago uad ar- rived in all the glory of his “pink Whiskers, curly locks and pearl fe- dora hat The rumor proved un- founded. The gentleman was from Porto Rico, but he promises to run Jim Ham a close second as a sartorial ‘and pulchritudinous idol of the unter- rified Democracy. (Copyright. 1924.) ROOSEVELT IS LIKELY TO NOMINATE SMITH Governor Says This Is Understand- ing—Manager Is on Crutches. By the Associated Prees. NEW YORK, June 20.—The honor of nominating Gov. Smith at the Democratic convention probably will £0 to his campaign manager, Frank- lin _D. Roosevelt. "It looks that way,” sald the gov- ernor today, when asked to com- ment on reports that Roosevelt had been choosen his nominator. “The slate may change before the con- vention time, but that is the present understanding.” If Mr. Roosevelt is to be the man. he will mount the speakers stand on crutches, for he is only beginning to recover the use of his lower limbs after an attack of nerve paralysis three years ago. Despite his handi- cap. he is known as one of the most active campaign managers in this convention city of many candidator- ial camps. s Ancient Ruins Found TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, June 20.—Traces of the ruins of a settle- ment, belfeved to antedate the Chris- tian era, have been discovered in the department of Colon, near the terri: tory of Mosquitia gmm“mfllflTflmfi;flmflmlHflg ARGONNE 16th and Col.

The detachment of state police was assigned to Brady last night after an appeal had been made by Prosecutor R. P. Posten to Jack- son Arnold, superintendent of the state department of public welfare Four union men arrested after the fighting told Sheriff W. M.

Samuel D. Brady of Fairmont, presi- dent of the operating company. in a statement. declared ““We propose to operate the mine at all hazards,” add- ing that the Constitution “gives the company the right to enjoy its prop- erty and to operate as long as the plan is within the law.” Headquarters of the mine union at Fairmont disclaimed any knowledge of the outbreak, and the men arrested declared they were spectators at- tracted to the scene by the firing.

THREE FIGHTING POINTS Prohibition, Foreign Relatiohs and Ku Klux Compose These Issues. By the Associated Press. YORK, June 20.—Scandal in the administration of government af- fairs as disclosed by Senate investiga- tions occupies the dominant place in a tentative Democratic platform in process of drafting by a group of party leaders for spbmission to the platform committee. Foreign relations, with particular reference to the world court; agricul- tural aid and economy in govern- ment expenditures, coupled with tax reduction, are subjects to be dealt with in other principal planks. Probibition, the Ku Klux Klan issue and foreign affairs probably will form the main fighting points before the resolutions committee. The present tentative draft of the plat- form omits specific mention of pro- hibition, but contains a plank with a strong declaration for enforcement. There is no mention of the Ku Klux Klan. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, and rep- resentatives of the ~ Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, already are on she ground and prom- ise to make a strong fight for specific declarations by the party. Leaders do not hesitate to say, however, that there is little probabiiity for success for either organization. Views of a group of Democratic oy CAN LOVE BE KILLED--- INSTANTLY?
