The party standard was placed in nis hands by the democratic nation- 1l convention late last night, a soli- 1ary ballot sweeping him far beyond he two thirds majority needed to uominate. To Finish Work Today the convention was called together to complete its work by lecting its candidate for the vice presidency. Lead among the Smith supporters had been in con- ference during the early morning tours, and although Senator Robin- son of Arkansas, the convention chairman, had been the favorite for seccond place on the ticket, others also were under consideration. In contrast to the bitter animost- ties that surrounded Smith’s unsuc- sful bid for the presidential nom- ination four years ago in Madison Square Garden, impressive gestures of harmony and conciliation preced- o1 and followed his selection last night us the leader of his party. dust Lefore the ballot was taken a party platform, contrary to the usual case, was adopted without a fight n open convention.

D. Saxe in the cuse of Roger 8.

Mason, who represents the Amer- ican Rescue Workers, was arrested on Arch street late yesterday after- noon by Sergeant . A. McAvay on complaint of the Chamber of Com- merce, and pleaded that he was not aware of the n ty for obtaining the permission of the state board. He spent the night in a cell. Judge saxe said he had no desire to pun- ish Mason, as he appeared to have been ignorant of the law, but he warned him against entering upon the work of canvassing for money without first learning whether or not he was authorized by the law to do so. Sergeant McAvay Mason had coliected principally on Broad strect, His share was 20 per cent, and he had a list of con- tributors headed by Leo Bojnowski, whosc donation was $2. After court, Judge Saxe directed that the money be turned over to the police pen- sion fund. Assistant Prosccuting Attorney W. M. Greenstein questioned Mason, who agreed to leave the city and make no further attempt to collect funds here or in any part of Con- necticut. Mr. Greenstein said he re- ceived a telephone gnessage this morning from the colenel in charge of the Boston headquarters of the organization, agreeing! to withdraw all Connecticut representatives at once.
