DELEGATIONS HURRY TO GET ON BAND WAGON CONTINUED FROM FAGS ONE the uproar subsided. Sleepy delegates were late in arriving at the convention hull for; the 8:30 p. tn. meeting after fl 12 hour session that had kept i them In their seats until long after dawn. The word went out I that the deadlock persisted. W hat with the price of breakfasts and beer in a big town that wits the, worst possible news. Then ,an electric rumor swept i the hall and set the Texas dele-1 gates ch their heads. Speaker; John N. Garner had released the i Texans. James A. Farley. Roose-1 velt manager and ex-amateur poll-1 tician, tried to drink a package of' gum and chew » Mottle of pop. A. few Tekans said "It ain't so." But the war was over McAdoo ! finally prevailed over the howling l tnoh. Texas and California wont to Roosevelt together. There he-, gun immediately the only effective: and efficient parade that can occur in a political gathering save' only that final resort of dissenters' which is to walk out. Isist night's: parade was in the other direction. It was a pell-mell, breathless, unstoppable stampede to the speak-; ers' platform of favorite sons and ■ their representatives. They arrived panting to explain, to the big cop on the gate that they trait to get right up there I «nd tell the folks that they were 1 jj-ading nil hope of a White House | desk ajd chair for any old kind ridi iff space that could be had i Mi the Roosevelt band wgaon. : 3 Cermak announced the allegiance j of Illinois. Governor Albert C.| Jltchie had his brief say through) a microphone from the floor. The proxy of Governor William' (Alfalfa Bill! Murray almost miss-t ed the Roosevelt special. The big. cop had"never heard of John A. Simpson or the National Farmer’s Union. “Get me Senator Wheeler."' screamed Simpson • “Outside," said the cop. . Put Simpson, an Oklahoman with Murray’s votes for Roosevelt' on the tip of his tongue, was not t teing put off by the police. He '■hou'ed some more, finally attracted the attention of persons on the pla'form and soon was up there and addressing the crowd, to the conside a'de surprise and uneasi- i ne«s of the cop. ‘ Who in the hell is that guy?" Inoulred the officer. "John A. Simpson," he was told. ' Well. I never heard of that guy. I*'t I guess it was all right." the officer said and hoped the matter woii'd drop there, ft did. Delegates, meantime, were eager but exjiausted. There was one ■ whooping descent on the platform! when all but half a dozen or so of 'he state banners were clustered there. Farley grinned. A bevy of Roosevelt-for-President United i States senators slapped each other! on the back. Others of the Roosevelt leadership signalled to! the crowd to put on a show. But that crowd was tired. Per-' haps it was just as well. There

On the final roll call eight states gave him votes. Connect! 1 | cut, Massachusetts. New Jersey, j New York. Ohio, Wisconsin. Rhode j Island and Pennsylvania. And Massachusetts was particulaily unhappy. All Its 36 votes went for Smith. Word passed that someom might try to tako the .Massachusetts standard into the i Roosevelt melee. John I). O'Connor. Boston, and I former Holy Cross football star ' decided ootherwise. He recruited E. E Tryn, stockbridge. Edward F O'Hearn. Brookline, and Mlles G. Neff. Fall River. Together, these four, scaling 190 or so pounds each, took the standi ard into the center of the Massa- ! chusetts delegation and grasjfed 1 it firmly, and they looked an invitation to all comers to try and get it. None did. Massachusetts contributed lib- ' erally and loud to the boos that i billowed around McAdoo. And as ' a final mark of displeasure with i this Democratic national conven- ; tion, they had their say about I Mayor James Curley, Boston, who was a Massachusetts ♦ Roosevelt : man and had to get credentials to j the convention from Porto Rico. Massachusetts did not like that. ! A messenger Iby arrived with a telegram for Curley. He l offered . it to Massachusetts. "For Mayor Curley," said the I boy. “He's gone to Porto Rico,” re- , plied a Smith stalwart. “Curley's | a banana king down there."

William Randolph Hearst, the publisher who supported Speaker Garner, the man whose votes turned the trick for Roosevelt, also paid back an old grudge wi.h Smith and Tammany in New York state. There has been a feud between Hearst and Smith since the latter absolutely refused to run on the ticket with yearat lack in 1922 when Hearst aspired to the United States senate. That was the end of the publisher as an ‘ active figure in politics.

The new 'Democratic National . committee was called to hold its first o ganization meeting today. The new candidate's first act was to brush aside the old custom of having a formal "notification" ceremony. It comes down from stage- ■ coach days when it might be weeks 1 before a candidate learned he was i running for President. To this day i both partie< have persisted in keep- ■ ing the nominations an official se- : cret for about a month until a com- ., officially notifies the can- | didate and he makes his speech of acceptance. Roosevelt announced he would dispense with this antiquated ceremony. On hearing that he was nominated. hd ordered an airplane to stand by for an early morning sta t | tor Chicago. That is another tradiI tion sma-hed. He is the First P esi--1 dential candidate to travel by air. Roosevelt is due to appear in the stadium semetime after 3 p. m. The convention was scheduled to convene at 1 p. m. Its first business was to n minate the vi. e-presiden-tiil candidate. One ballot was expected to suffice.
