T, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1924 Wild Demonstration Breaks Loose After Roosevelt Speech Nominating Smith MOVE MADE TO END COMMITTEE FIGHTS Selection of Members of Na- tional Party Directors May Be by People. BORAH SEES CONVENTION Butler, Coolidge’'s Manager, Also in New York—Delegates Visit Wall Street. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. NEW YORK, June 26.—A number of bitter fighte have occurred in state delegations over the selection of a national committeeman and commit- teewoman, so it is not surprising that 4 movement should have grown into full bloom demanding that some uni- form system of selecting these of-| ficials be adopted not only by the| Democratic party, but by the Kepub- licans as well. As it is now the selection of mem- bers of the national committee it is a sort of go-as-you-please affair. In most of the states the delegates to the national convention have the Power of selection. This has led on occasions to a schism in a state dele- gation which has materially affected the interests of a possible presiden- tial candidate. In some states the state convention which selects the delegates also selects the members of the national committee. In still other states national committee- man is elected at the primary which chooses the delegates to the national convention. General Change Proposed. In this convention there has been & general trend of opinion in favor of national committee elections either by the people direci or by the state convention, so as to avoid further complications at the national gath- erings. And still the Republicans come. There has been a perfect deluge of them. Apparently th annot keep ven Willi Butle: I chairman for Mr. Coolidg found it convenient to be in N York at this time to make plans for the east nd of his campalgn.

Many of the delegates are getting their first inkling as to how the machinery of Wall street works. At Jeast they have been able to see the Wheels ®0 around. The motive force Tmay be as much of a mystery as ®YGenator Walsh's voice is not a strong one.

Sun Routs Texams. Someone conceived the bright idea of sliding back the glass roof during the all but unbearable heat of the second session of the convention. This move, however, merely let the Tays beat down mercilessly upon a Jarge section of the delegates.

However, It WOMEN AT CONVENTION BY MAXINE DAV NEW YORK, June 26—Several hundred woman visitors to the con- ventien have succummed to the New York bob, better known as the shin- gle bob. This is the report of the hairdressing establishments in the Notels where the delegates and their trains are stopping. Political women are evidently out for comfort and style, but they all insist on the curl. Marcels, shadow waves and round curls are in con- stant demand at the leading beauty parlors. Facial massages and mani- cures also are required by the smart- ly groomed visitors. Mrs. Bernice Pyke of Cleveland, Democratic committeewoman from Ohio, is the only bobbed-haired mem- ber of the national committee. Her white locks are shingled and most becoming. She likes it that way. * % % The twelve Arizona delegates were deadlocked in their caucus, and dark work was suspected. It said that Mrs. Rose McKay. one of the McAdoo delegates, had been drugged in the interest of Smith or Under- wood, and that the alarm clock of one of the male delegates had been tampered with so that he was still asleep at noon when the caucus was called. ~ Both denied the report, the rumor persists. k%% The band leader of the convention has an amazing sense of fitness. When Pat Harrison rose to call the meeting to order the music blared out, “The old gray mare, she ain't what she usec to be.” And better yet, when Mrs. Leroy Spring, chairman of the credentials committee, in fashionable white, rose to make the report of the comniittee, she was interrupted by the strains of “Oh, You Beautiful Doll” and the audience joined heartily in_ the chorus. Mrs. Spring is one of the delegates from whom the eye dis- likes to wander, but she was entirely business-like in her presentation of the report. was * % ok ¥ Miss Elizabeth Marbury, committee woman from New York, believes in solid comfort, so she has brought her own armchair from her home for the convention.

Smith Deadlock Comes. By the Asociated Press. BW YORK, June 26.—The recep- tion accorded Senator Oscar W. Underwood’s anti-Klan declarations in the Democratic convention yester- day when he was placed in nomina- tion was reflected in overnight claims that he had gained material advantage in the struggle for the presidential nominftion. Those in closest touch with his campaign and the results of quiet canvassing of general sentiment for him among the delegates sald there had been a dis- tinct increase in Underwood talk during the night.

It was_explained that no ~eal showing 6€ this strength was to be pected until the balloting had pro- far enough to satisfy various ions that neither the McAdoo nith movement had any real re- e to a band wagon. When that time came, the Underwood leaders predicted, there would be a mble to get aboard the Under- chariot, where the original group of loyal Underwood delegates would remain throughout the early ballots ready to extend the hand of welcome to late comers. C. C. Carlin, manager of the Un- derwood forces, went into the con- rting that, wholly re and the necessi- of his duties, he felt that there was a real prospect for the Alabama senator to swing the convention his way in_a movement that would sweep the stage clear of sectional lines.

By the Arsociated Press. NEW: YORK, June 26.—Smith sup- porters divided into three groups to- day, all bent upon clinching his nom- ination for the presidential ticket. One squadron, headed by Franklin D.

PiRTietTeND proceedings of SUPPORTERS OF SMITH STORM DOORS OF HALL Many Get in Before Police Can Stop Rush on Gates—Some Ticket Holders Barred. B3.the Ascociated Press. NEW YORK, June 26.—The Smith forces took the convention hall al- most by storm today. Before the the convention had gotten well underway holders of tickets for reserve seats were being turned away by the police, the fire marshall having ordered that no more persons be admitted. The word went forth last night, it was reported, that the Smith rooters were to be on hand todav. It was planned to rush to a couple of the doors at one end of the garden. Reinforcements were placed at these doors, but even so a considerable number of men made their way into the hall before they were checked. Among those who held tickets for reserved seats who were held up was Col. Clifford of Chicago and Washing- ton, who engineered the boom for Gen Charles . Dawes for Vice President at the Cleveland convention. He and his party finally obtained admission through a door not used for the gen- eral ticket holders.

Cargill of Oklahoma City kept a dinner engagement at a Coney Island hotel last night, but they were forced to use a rowboat for the last lap of their trip from New York. When their motor car arrived within two blocks of the hotel they found further progress impeded by a vast pool of water left by the heavy rain of the late afternoon. The automobile couldn’'t make it and as dinner time was at hand, a row boat was summoned and the gover- nor and mayor were rowed to the steps of the hotel. The dinner was given by Scott Ferris of New York, former Oklahoma politiatan. German Leaders to Meet.

Pandemonium today struck Madison Square Garden when his name was put in nomination by Franklin D. Roosevelt, his campaign manager. Sirens shrieked, horns tooted, rattles rattled, bands played and thousands of men and women velled and howled themselves | hoarse. But the human cheers were drowned in the mechanical noise. The noise came from the galleries and the guests and some delegates Great blocks of delegates stood or sat while the demonstration went on, with only mild intercst in their eye New York was out to put on a dem- onstration, and it was out to put across the greatest demonstration that ever was held for their own Al Smith. “While the demonstration was largely mechanical, it would 1 unfair to the governor to say there was no real enthusiasm.

On the speakers' platform it was said that an agreement had been made to allow the demonstration to continue for an hour and fifteen min- utes before any effort was made to check it. This would be fifteen min- utes longer than the McAdoo demon- stration yesterday. It was doubtful that it could be checked in that time, however.
