SAN: FRANCISCO, June 22.—The first of the women district delegates trom New York arrived in San Fran- cisco yesterday in the person of Mrs. Lillian R. Sire, President of the Wom- en’s Democratic Political League and co-delegate with Samuel Marx of the 19th Congress District, Manhat- tan, Mr#. Sire was accompanied by Mrs! Norah D. McCall, who 1s Bourke Cockran's alternate, and Mrs. Anne Naughton, also an alternate, and they brought along, in addition to ward- robes which will cause the conven- tion to sit up and take notice, an in- novation in politics, which Is no leas than a young boom. The boom is stamped "Gov. Alfred FE, Smith for Vice President” and it ts no weakling, even though a boom chaperoned by women for the.nomin. tion of a man for @ national office Is without precedent, It !s a lusty boom, because it has the unanimous backing of the fifty-four women delegates and alternates from the State of New York, and in the matter of women delegates New York leads the way in thie convention and of course in the history of female representation in the national nomination gathering of any party WOMEN MAKE UP 30 PER CENT, OF NEW YORK ROSTER. In the New York section of the convention will be seated two women delegates at large, Miss Wilsabeth Marbury and Harriet May Mills, who are already at San Francisco, and ten women district delegates, nine of whom are from Greater New York and one from Buffalo; also, New York will present 42 women alter- nates, In other words, women will make up 80 per cent. of the total of 180 delegates and alternates from the Empire State, Naturally, the New York women are proud of the recog- nition granted them by the Demo- cratic Party in this their debut into the activities of national politics. As for the Vice Presidential boom of Goy, Smith, nobody can tell how it will turn out, but it will be heard and felt from. now on because its energetic sponsors sre already at work among women delegates from other States, They are equipped with BANKERS MAN SHIP IN FROM DENMARK _TO BREAK STRIKE Frederick VIII.

Gotsche, did not go quite that far, but he did say this: “I've got men in this crew who have sailed with me hefore as first cabin passengers, and they'll be sail- ing that Way again after they have finished their present task, which is to prevent the strike-crazy laborers of Denmark from runing the country.” Hoe said that Denmark for many weeks had been strike-ridden under a weak government which was con- trolled by radicals. “But it's different now,” he con- tinued.

PROCTER | Accuses The police are now working independent of the District Atiorney’s office in the hunt for the murderer of Joseph Bowne Elwell, who was slain on Friday morning, June 41, at his home, No. 224 West-7oth Street. They claim that the District Attorney has not only hampered their work of investigation, but has prevented them from making progress by keep- ing from them the results of the work of his staff. . District Attorney Swann has appealed to George N. Brothers, a.for- help him unravel the mystery. He also announced to-day that he had sent a note to Police Commissioner En- right asking him to send to his office Captain Arthur Carey, in charge of the Homicide Squad and Capt.

He chatted with néwspaper men while waiting for a reply from Pos lee Commissioner Enright, and then it was suggested that he call up Capt. Carey. He did, and here is what thd reporters heard of the one- sided telephone conversation: “Hello, Capt. Carey. * * * Yes, yen, yes. * * * I communicated with you asking you to bring the reports of your subordinates who had © been working on the Elwell murder, * * # “What's that? What's ‘that?
