By the Associated Pres: | HOUSTON, June 27.—By overwhelm- ing votes the credentials committee of the Democratic national convention early today seated 26 delegates pledged or instructed for Gov. Smith. Foremost in interest was the dele- gate contest from Louisiana in which a block of 20 Smith-pledged votes were given preference over a slate claimed by Senator Reed. Of the 49 votes recorded, only 7 favored the séating of the Reed faction. The other 6 Smith delegates seated were the Canal Zone faction, headed by Mrs. L. O. Keen, national commit- teewoman, who was accorded an unan- imous vote over the uninstructed but Reed-inclined ticket, headed by Na- tional Committecman Frank T. Hamlin Two other contests were decided, but they were without political significance, since both contesting factions intended to vote for Smith.

Following the vote of the credentials committee, the members on that body from Missouri, North Carolina, Ala- bama, Texas and Florida attempted to reach a conclusion as to whether a minerity report would be filed with the convention on the Louisiana fight, thus ton of Jacksonville, Fla., to unseat the two Smith-pledged delegates from the Virgin Islands on technical grounds, but this failed to get even so much as a formal discussion after the Florida man had been heard. During the Canal Zone discussion, John H. McCann, member on the cre- dentials committee from Pennsylvania, asked the contestants how they lined up on presidential candidates. Hamlin said his delegation was “uninstructed.” Mrs. Keen said her delegates were “for Smith to the end of the road.” A loud cheer greeted her announcement. John G. Barker, former attorney gen- eral of Missouri and a Reed lieutenant, also appeared on behalf of the Hamlin Reed-inclined slate. All of the contests except that from Louisiana were disposed of in short order. In the Pelican State contro- versy the committee came in for some fiery oratory as both sides pressed their ‘ arguments. | Fail to Call Convention. The protest from Louisiana was brought about by the action of the | State central committee selecting con- vention delegates itself without calling a convention, as had been the cus- tom, the testimony brought out, for a number of decades. The protesters | against the slate on which the two Louisiana Senators and governor were placed were led by Mrs. James M Thomson, wife of the publisher of the New Orleans Item, a daughter of the late Champ Clark, who was supported by Senator Reed for President in 1912, | and a sister of one of the present Reed workers. Mrs. Thomson, until recently national | | committeewoman, was represented by Ferd Claiborne of New Rhoads and | Harry Gamble of New Orleans, who | charged “usurpation of power and | ! fraud” on the part of the State cen- | tral committee. | | 'Harvey Fields, a Farmersville attor- | |ney, and Arthur Edwards, a Lake Charles lawyer, argued the other side | of the case, declaring that the laws of Louisiana specifically empowered the | central committee to act in its dis- | cretion in national affairs. | Fields told the committee that a and Mrs. Warner, the for- | at a meeting of the State Building Sites | pringing the matter to the floor.
