* “we are in this hall ANGRY DELEGATES BERATENEV YORK Will Propose Moving Conven- tion, Says Middle Western- er, if Given Chance. PARTY SPLIT IS SEEN Nomination Not Worth 30 cents, Leader of Party From Middle West Declares. OULD LINCOL Staff Correspordent of 'l NEW YORK. June 30, ard New York convention crowds are abdu popular as a crutch with the delegations from the west and middle west, from the south and even from some of the eastern states. These delegates resent bitterly the interruptions to the proceedings of the Democratic national convention Wwhich occurred Saturday They sent cfforts of the galleries and the visitors' seats or the floor to dictate ‘what the convention shall do. As the delegates filed into their Beats today a delegate from Nebraska, who has taken a prominent part in delegations of his state to Democratic conventions since 1896, voiced this fTeeling of resentment. He said: “l am going to make a motion to have the galleries cleared the min- ute outsiders begin interfering again. “But 1 haven't any confidence that the Tammany cops would even try to do it—or could do it, if they wanted “If that doesn't succeed 1 am going to move that the convention adjourn to Chicago or some other city, and I think we could get the votes to do it. re- Hits Expense to Delegates. “New York is giving us the most ex- pensive entertainment ever offered dele- Eates in history—and the most inhospita- ble treatment. T can’t understand why the national committee was ever foolish enough to come here. Everybody knew Wwhat would happen—and it did. “1 am scared to death every minute It is a fire trap, and 1f any thing like a stampede or scare gets going in the hall there will be a thousand people trampled to death. T was looking for a whisky bottle to be shied at Bryan's head from the galleries all the time he was speaking. “The police let people come right down into the delegates’ aisles and stand there all through the session Sat- urday night. The sergeants-at-arms were powerless because the police would not give them any sort of real help. Some big bruiser came in and sat right down in a seat in our delegation, and we had to throw him out ourselves. Sees Roosevelt Dixgusted. “It isn't the fault of the New York delegates. Mr. Roosevelt, Smith's man- ager, is a fine man and has a great per- sonality, and T know he was as disguet- ed as any one else. but an element gets Zoing over which he can have no con- troL” This middle-westerner said they had learned their lesson about con- ventioning in New York, but he feared it was too late. The party had been given a bad wallop below the belt. “But we must remember.” he add- \ed, “that the only time the Demo- cratic party seems to come out with a winning, crusading leader is after it has been dragged through the mire of a bitter, dirty fight. “We got hauled off on to a road in this Klan fight. If been over a political party issue it wouldn't have been so bad. But re- ligious bigotry isn't going to be set- tied by any party platform and they've gone and diverted us from the main issue, which is to get a fighting, progressive candidate for President. side it had Voted to Save Party. “Personally 1 would have been willing enough to have the Klan- naming plank adopted.

'Delegates, Angered by Turmail, Denounce New York as Convention Site SENAT ASHURSY AND A FEW ' ARI2ONIANS CONVENTION CHARACTERS AS SEEN BY THE CARTOONIST. Woman Who Changed Aye Vote On Klan Plank Is Heartbroken understand the position of those east- erners and others, who were making the determined last-ditch fight for verification of the vote on the Klan- naming plank. They knew that more actual votes had been cast in favor of that plank, but under the unit rule in a few states the minority members of those state delegations did not have their vgtes counted. As the majority of te state delegation voted, so the whole state delegation vote was recorded. And this was the balance that threw the victory to the plank that did not blame the Klan. “The Democratic nomination is not worth 30 cents today,” said a former member of the House and an assist- ant secretary of one of the depart- ments of the government during the Wilson administration. He hails from the middle west and is a dele- gate. “First Underwood, and then Smith raised the issue of the Klan, which _means a religious issue, to kill off McAdoo. It's gone too far. “If any one thing is certain, how- ever, out of Saturday’s row, it is that neither Smith nor Underwood can be nominated. 1 shouldn't be sur- prised now if they let McAdoo be nominated, and tell him to take the nomination and go to hell. Tabulators Confused. The confusion of the closing scene in the convention early Sunday morn- ing might have been avoided, to a certain extent, had the tabulators of the vote been able to announce—as they have done since—that the mi- nority report naming the Klan had been defeated by 4.30 votes instead of by 1 vote, But they claim that it was due to the noise and constant in- terruptions that they were unable to bring the correct total One little Georgia woman also might have avoided some of the notoriety which she achieved because of her change of vote at the last minute. Miss Marion Colley of Washington, Ga., whose change of vote—she cast but one-half a-vote—was believed for a time to have made possible the vic- tory of the majority report, which fails to name the Kian. Miss Colley was surrounded by a howling, gesticulating group, plead- ing with her to do this or do that. She could not make herself heard by the chair, and finally the chairman of the delegation had to vote for her. She insisted today it was not because of threats by the Klansmen that she changed her vote. She said that it was because she was told that she was “ruining the party's chances of success” and hurting Mr. McAdoo. “I am just as much opposed to the Klan as I ever was’ she insisted. But she is very ‘much cut up over the whole affair. Walsh Prevented Rit. Everybody is asking everybody else hero what has been the effect on the party and on ihe party's chances of the row over the Klan. culminating Saturday in what was little less than riot, The fact that it did not become a riot was due largely to firmness and good judgment of Senator Walsh of Montana, the permanent chairman. A number of times, when the conven- tion seemed to be slipping out of all control, it was brought back by the decisive statements of the chair- man. He has been criticized in some quarters because he could not order the gallerics cleared, but on the other hand, the Democrats do not like the idca of holding a rational convention behind closed doors, so to speak, -and also there is the Democracy of New York City, represented in the gal- leries Saturday, which had to be taken into consideration. And, finally, there was the danger that such an order might have precipitated real trouble, and perhaps cause injury to the masses which jammed the gal- leries and the floor of the conven- tion i.uself. ‘when the delegates from Massa- chusetts and other eastern states, who had fought vigorously for the denunciation of the Klan by name in the platform, went back to their hotels early Sunday morning, they were still fighting mad. They were inclinéd to say that they were through with the party which would not take a stand, when the issue was raised, against the Klan. During the last twenty-four hours they have cooled down somewhat, and It may be that they will come around. But the need of nominating a candidate who can command the respect ana support of both the east*and the west is emphasized. Party Smask Seen. To the man on the street, however, it looks as though the Democrats had pretty well smashed their chance for electing a President in November. In the subway today, a workman put it this way: ““Dese Democrats is the limit. Look what dey done, now. If dey nominate a Cathollc dey are busted, and if dey nominate a Klansman, dey ain’t bet- ter off. This guy Coolidge is goin’ to walk right trough de middle. But_with characteristic. loyalty to New York's governor, he added that if Al Smith could be nominated, he would have a chance after all for election. Gov. Smith was born a Catholic and is a Catholic. He has been regarded as a “wet” though he has said he would enforce the prohibition law. Had it not been for this combination of circumstances nothing could have prevented the selection of the gov- ernor of the Empire state for the Democratic nomination this year. He is really regarded as a progressive by many who are Insisting upon a progressive nominee. It scarcely speaks well for Ameri- can institutions that because a man belongs to a certain branch of the Christian church, the oldest of them all, that he cannot nominated for the highest office in ths iand, as\a Protestant woman attending the con. vention said today. “It's worse than ridiculous that a man should be criticized because he has a religion and belongs to a Christian church,” she said. “If he did hot belong to any church I suppose he ‘would he perfectly wxflh"'» By the Associated Press. - NEW YORK, June 30.—Miss Marion Colley of Washington, Ga., is the most talked of, most interviewed woman in New York. No celebrity of stage, screen or day’s adventures ap- proaches her “publicity.” She is the woman who, faltered and trightened, and surrounded by howl- ing, threatening and pleading men in the Georgia delegation, struggled to her feet in Madison Square Garden Saturday night amid the scene of tumult and confusion and changed her vote from “aye” to “no” on the question of singling out the Ku Klux Klan by name in the Democratic plat- ifrom. She tried to tell Chairman Walsh {above the roar and din that she was opposed to the Klan, but she was be- ing told party success would be en- dangered by a vote “aye” but the chairman under the rule gavelled her down and demanded her vote “aye” or “no” without explanations. And while the irate, pleading and threatening men about her tugged at her arms, sought to holst her to her feet when she was too frighten- en to stand up alone and shouted for her the “no" they were urging ber to utter, she gasped the word and sank to her seat. Convention Ruled By Mob, Declares J. Hamilton Lewis By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 30.— Former United States Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, who returned to Chicago from the Democratic national con- vention in New York to plead a case, referred yesterday to the Democratic convention as “mob-ruled to the extent the Republican convention at Cleveland was boss-ruled.” “Bosses at the convention,” he said, “are being driven into panic on the question whether the ¢itizen should worship God according to the dictates of conscience or of politics.” ALL SUITS ALL SUITS ALL SUITS ALL SUITS ALL SUITS 'ALL SUITS ALL SUITS As it fell out, is was not her vote after all that turned the trick, for the official recapitulation shows' that the question was decided by four votes instead of one, but that does not lessen the dramatic tensity of the turbulent, almost riotous scene that swirled about Miss Colley. She told interviewers that she voted not for the Kian, but for party suc- cess, and that the men about her had 'declared she was “stabbing Mr. McAdoo in the back. It was Miss Colley who started the demonstration _which finally took Andrew C. Irwin of Athens, the fiery young Georgian who opposed the Klan from the platform, around the convention hall on the shoulders of admiring men. She embraced him when he returned to his seat among his hostile assoclates and started the demonstration for him, when, waving her handkerchief, she urged the Georgians to join in the rising demonstration, but they stuck to their chalrs. ‘Would Again Change Vote. Friends said that after she passed through the ordeal she wanted to reach Chairman Walsh by telephone and change her vote again. When she went to Erwin and tried to say a word of tearful explanation the big Georgian laid his hand ten- derly on her shoulder and said: “That's all right, Marion, don’t say a word about it; vou aid what you [ thought hest ™ MRS.

GOULD LINCOLN. Staft Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, June 30.—Early bal- lots in the Democratic national con- vention today emphasize the cleavage between the west and middle west on one hand, and the east on the other. The progressive branch of the party in the west which has been demanding a progressive cast their votes for McAdoo, who has been recognized as the leading progres- sive. A glance at the list of states which voted solidly for McAdoo on these ballots—some, it is true under the .unit rule—shows how the line has been drawn. Those states which voted for McAdoo ‘included Arisona, California, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Ne- vada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington. There were some of the western states who cast their votes for “favorite sons” and for ‘that reason excluded McAdoo from their votes, like Nebraska, which voted solidly for Gov. Bryan of that state; Wyoming, which voted solidly for Senator Kendrick of Wy- oming; Kansas, which voted for Gov. Jonathan M. Davis; Michigan, which voted for Senator Ferris; Colorado, which voted for Gov. Sweet. Smith Backed by 3 In some of the middle western and western states McAdoo received a partial vote, as in the case of Illinois, where he had 12 votes, Wisconsin, 3; Minnesota, 5, anid Montana. In these states, the “wet and dry” question militated against McAdoo to a cer- tain extent, it is sald, and Gov. Smith of New York, regarded as the hope of the wets, received the major share of thelr votes. The early ballots showed the south- ern states voting largely for McAdoo also, though many of them had fa- vorite sons to put forward, like Un- derwood in Alabama, Harrison of Mississippi, Glass in_Virginia, John W. Davis In West Virginia, Ritchie in Maryland and Robinson in Arkansas. The demand for a candidate con- sidered “progressive” is being strong- ly put forward. The caadidate, if he is to have any chance of election in November, must appeal to the pro- gressive west, as well as to the east, which is not quite so anxious for a progressive. One Fist Fight. The old fight In Missouri between the faction of the party supporting ny. | Senator Jim Reed and that opposing him burst out again on the floor of the convention. The state conven- tion instructed the delegates to vote for McAdoo, but some of the dele- gates, strong Reed men, questioned the unit rule and only the ruling of the presiding officer, Senator: Walsh of Montana, settled the matter in favor of the unit rule and McAdoo. One fist fight occurred. A charge was made by the Reed supporters that McAdoo money had flooded the state. Joe B. Shannon of Kansas City made the charge. Afterward Charles M. Hay, a McAdoo delegate, walked up to Shannon and said with an oath, “If you say I got any Mc- Adoo money, you are a liar.” Shan- non struck him in the face. The police rushed in and separated them. Should McAdoo be nominated, the outlook for his success in Missouri in November does not appear good, to put it mildl; The people of Tyre were such ex- perts in dyeing that Tyrian purple remains unexceiled to this day. “DRESS WELLJIT PAYS” Semi-Annual Sale Of All Three-Piece 'SPRING & SUMMER SUITS Including STEIN-BLOCHS formerly $00.....

By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 30.— United States Senator Samuel M. Ral- ston in a statement here today in reply to attacks in the New York World reiterated his denial of any connection with the Ku Klux Klan organization and challenged any one “who has doubt as to the truthful- ness of my statement” to disclose their information to the public. The statement follows: “1 have heretofore informed the World that T am not a memper of the organization or of any /of its branches. This statement is either the truth or falsehood. I take it from the persistence of the World in inquiring further into my supposed relations to this organization it has doubts as to the truthfulness of my statement. If it has such doubts T submit it is time for it to disclose its information to the public. “Let me say that I have not asked any man or newspaper to support my nomination for President. Nor have I any information as to what dele- gations if any, aside from that of Indiana, intend to support me for the nomination; if, however, I should be nominated 'for the high office I shall appreciate the support of every voter in the country without regard to the blood that courses in his veins, or the organization to which he be- longs, provided such support is given me with the understanding that I shall stand upon the platform of the New York convention and shall in- sist upon every citizen having all his constitutional ~ rights scrupulously safeguarded.” WOMEN AT CONVENTION BY MA S DAVIS, NEW YORK, N.

I came up here determined to vote against the Klan if the fssue presented itself and I did. -3ut I could not see the party split, and so I changed my vote.” Miss Colley added, moreover, that she would do the same thing -again, for she is irrevocably opposed to the hooded order. Women leaders expressed their pleasure last night over the fact that many women voted againsc the anti- Klan resolution, especially as num- bers of them were defying their sense of justice, and likewise their hus- bands. Mrs. William Pattangall of Maine, wife of Judge’ Pattangall, who brought in the minority report on the Klan, voted as an alternate for her husband. She voted against him. ‘When Mrs. Pattangall cast her vote against her delegate husband’s con- victions and against her own per- sonal convictions, she voted in the interest of the party, to save it, she says.
