MORRIS-BRODKS HEAD THE TICKET (Continued from First Page) candidacy of Governor Al Smith for the presidency. Before the conven- tion opened last night the surface appeared to be unruffled, with Charles G. Morris practically un- opposed for governor. The entire ticket was being arranged. After the resolutions committee hearing, friends of Mayor Alfred N, Phillips, Jr., began to circulate asking for votes for him for governor. By 1 a. m. the Phillips canvass had taken on such strength that Mr. Cum. mings, Mayor FitzGierald of New Haven and others in that group were called into conference at Hotel Bond. Shortly after 2 a. m. the ticket which had been in the making was taken to pleces and a new one ar- ranged with Mr. Morris still i first place. The Cummings group were to go into the convention and fight Mr. Phillips. All night members of the Two groups were at work trying to eonsolidate their respective po- sitions. As soon as they had had their breakfast delegates were brought into groups in hotel eorri dors to discuss a harmony plan. Plenty. of Candidates, A state corfinmeemnn remarked to a group: . “Up till Tuesdhy night we had no candidate for nomination for gov- ernor. Just as soon as we got Mr, Morris to consent to run candidates appeared on all sides.” The resolutions committee finished its work at 10:30 and the rest of the delegates went to the armory. It was expected that some of the plat- form planks wowld be debated on the floor, Abel P, Tanner of New London being desirofis of discussing the klan jesue. Congressman O'Sullivan was in the hall at 10:45, at which time the delegates were filling up the secats, The committee on rules reported a change in party rules providing that the platform committee hereafter “ghall meet at 2 p. m. on the first day of the convention.” Child Labor Debate Although the committee on reso- lutioins of the democratic state con- vention in session here adjourned at 2 o'clock this morning after having epproved of a platform urging adop- tion of the anti-child labor amend- ment to the federal constitution, it met again at 9 o’clock this morning at the Hotel Garde to find that forces opposed to such a plank had been active among its members to overturn the decision of the previous sesslon and throw out the, plank by a vote-of 20 to 8. A substitute plank which adopted reads as follows: “We favor adeq legislation to protect child labor.” The convention was brought to at- tention at 11:05 o'clock over an hour late, after Chalrman O'Sulli- van and Secretary Lynch had cgp- ferred on proceedure. Delegales heard reports that the state tigket troubles had been froned out. Mr. Cummings had taken a seat with the Fairfield county delegation, Fitz- Gerald with the New Haven dele- was |gates and Thomas J. Spellacy stood against the wall near the stage. Some of the delay had been due to non-arrival of a copy of the plate form. / The temporary organization made permanent. Archibald Neil, Jr,, offered the report, The delegate roll was accepted. Mrs. Curry of Hartford asked for assur- ances that the name was on the list and this was given by both the chairman and Secretary Lynch. Major Purcell on the new rule, suggested that it might not be par- liamentary to adopt the change, a rule in absence of a resolution. Mr. McKeon explained that the rule was suggested by the resolutions com- mittee which was in session from 11 last night till 3 a. m. discussing m was Mec- whilé the same horses, a short time fters which could have been take \ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1924, sented to the committes last night which had been drawn up by a committee appointed by the stdte committee, The plank favored rati. fication of the fedsral amendment by the general assembly. Mrs ‘Whitney, gowned in blue and wear. ing a block hat, earnestly made her plea and was heartily greeted. She sald the plank had been modified and adviged just before this morn- ing's sesslon. She deetared the party stands for economy but this could not be had if young children are un. able to ure the proper environ. ment, @ declared that child labor wag an “open sore” on the industrial |!ife of the country. “I should feel ashamed #f you fail to endorse the amendment as Geor. gila has done. You know about Georgla and the Ku Klux Klan, So don't let us stand with Georgia in this matter. Connecticut and Mass- achusetts stand the highest in chitd labor matters but we have the op- pesition of other states. Conditions in this state are the best 1in the United States,” “A Proper Plank” (Mrs, Whitney's amendment saying ithe committee at 3 a .m. directed a subcommittee to prepare “a proper iplank,” However, this morning, he ipald, a substitute had been adopted avoring legislation but not saying /by what method. Twice congress {has passed an amendment and twice the supreme court has declared it a mistake. The minority report, he sald, provides the only way to abol- ish child labor, Efforts among organized textile workers to get child labor conditions in the south improved under the in- vestigating commission appointed by President Rooseyelt, favored Mrs, Whitney's report. He declared that the republican party as a party “which protects special privileges al- ways defeats remedial legislation” and the democratic party as one of laboring men can only secure a remedy through an amendment. John O'Brien of New Haven favored the amendment, A Msg, Whitney's plank was-drafted by a rising vote. 'The opposition, Paul Connery of Redding favored the majority report, as the father of three children. Mrs. Ward Duffy and Mrs, Robert Gadd of Hartford, both supported Mrs. Whitney in vigorous remarks which brought them. applause. M. told of being few in number, The platform as amended was adopted unanimously, The selection of presidential elec- tors was as follows: Rollin U. Taylor, Haddam; Philip Troug, New Haven; Ernest 0. Wag- ner, Salisbury; Mary Mitchell, New London; Dora Egan, Waterbury; Mary C. Sumner, Hartford, and John C. Cornell, Bridgeport. Morris Is Nominated ‘When nominations for governor were called for, Mayor FitzGerald of New Haven presented, the name of Charles G. Morris, in remarks which praised highly Mr. Morris’' business abllity, his lineage and his high character. He referred*to him as a son of former governor and a man well trained by reason of education and antecedents and one who would honor the, office, Major Phillips of Stamford sec- onded the nom#nation. Charlgs Dun- leg of New Haven also seconded Mr, Morris’ name, saying he would *‘give a square deel to everybody.” Brooks In Secend Place Joseph H. Mulvey of New Haven offered the name of Harry L. Brooks of New Haven for lieut.-governor and this went through unanimously. For secretary of state, Robert P. Butler pronosed John A. Markham of Hartfotd, and he was chosen. Judge W. L. Tierney of Green- wich, for treasurer, proposed Wil liam 8. Meany of his town, a dele- gate to the convention, for treasurer, and he was selected. Housecleaning Needed, Wm. C. Fox of New London offer- ing the name of James R. May for comptroller said there is not a state in the union that so much needs a “housecleaning” as Conneécticut. “To have honesty in the state treasury you must have honesty in the office of state comptroller” he sald. Mr. May was named. A resolution to permit the state committee to fill vacancies offered by W. R. Palmer of Oxford was adopted. Mayor Guilfoile of Waterbury pro- posed a resolution on the passing of Thomas L. Reilly wifom he spoke of as “one of God’s noble men.” “To. day,” sald Mr. Guilfoile “I am here to ask you to pause a moment in tribute to his memory.” The meo- tion was adopted with a rising vote and a moment of silence after ex- Mayor Kinsella of Hartford and Mr. Maloney of Meriden had also spoken felingly of their friendship with Mr. Reilly. Chairman O'Sullivan saild he would name ons from each.county to draw up resolutions to be report- ed at the next convention. Adjournment was then taken.

Walter Lyddy of St, Mary's church of this city, is administrator, Father Dahme's estate was before yesterday and Judge Miller rejected a will in which Mrs. Nellle Hines, the priest's house- keeper was given $20,000. The will was thrown out when it was found impossible to locate the signers who witnessed execution of the docu- ment, Miss Marie Dahme of Ger- many, next to kin of the clergyman, ;u benefactor under the court’s rul- ng. The will was executed in England before the outhbreak of the World War. The probaté court considered the possibility that the men who wit- nessed it efther enlisted or were drafted Into the army and were kill- ed on the battlefleld. An investiga- tion was made in and about the province in which the signers were belleved to have resided, but it was found impossible to find traces of them, Father Lyddy, a former Bridge- port man, was the deceased priest's choice as administrator. Following the "death, Rev. Willlam A. Krause who was a curdte at St. Mary's church here, was named as pastor of the church.

Many letters have been received Pa., Virginia Beach, Va.; Lancaster, Pa., and other cities, some expressing the belief that since Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, rich men's sons and confessed murderers of Robert Franks, were given life imprison- ment, instead of death. Grant, the son of poor parents, should not be hanged. The petition to the governor will recite -that Grant was not present or connected with the murder of policeman Ralph Souders, on De- cember 19, 1922, during a holdup, and that Walter Krauser, also under sentence of death, has repudiated his first statement ifmplieating Grant and declares that Grant ha¢ no con- nection with the heldup and mur- der. Thomas E. Swanson, eounsel for Grant, sald that the petition prob- ably would not he sent to the gov- ernor until after the return next week of Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for Loeb and T.eopold, who has promised to aid in the Grant defense.
