The- Democratic convention which opened today wiil name a state ticket and nominate a candidate for United State senator but there are few delegates in Syracuse tonight who dare to predict precisely what the ticket will be. Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith appeared to be leading. His managers have claimed 29f counted votes for him. They will need 36S If they are to nominate him. however, end William Randolph Hcas' backer claim that even If the 29 6 voters are cast for Smith, ho will never be able to make up the difference. In the hotel lobbies and about the city tonight there was a general belief thot the former governor would win the nomination. While the Hearst-Smith fight was at Its peak, the women delegates came forward with two new demands for recognition which may put a new complexion on the al ready befogged convention. The flrti wus inai smitn bo nominated, be cause he war. "first, last and ail the time, the women's candidate." The second was that Mm. Daniel O'Day of Westchester be named for secretary of .Hate and that Mrs. Franklin D. Pvooeve'.t. of Dutchess. be the party' candidate for comptroller.

A New York City delegate offered the resolutions committee a resolution that the party go on record as favoring light wines and beer under the prohibition clause ot the constitution. The women are almost as unanimously against a light wines and beer clause na they are in favor of Smith. They will take; Immediate action if such a resolutlcn Is presented either from the floor or from the committer. Charles F. ! Murphy, chieftain of Tammany Hall, was beet tonight on two sides by determined candidates and their managers, and some New York delegates afserted that on the result of the balloting In the arena depeied Murphy' hold on Tammany hall. It was leirned also that former Gov. Smith has told Murphy that he! positively refused to go on a ticket in any rapacity if Hearst was on It.

TEACHER TOOK GUN FROM HIM Creasy, on Stand, Testifies Miss Lavoy Obtained Gun Long Before Shooting. INTRODUCE LETTERS Endearing Notes Entered in Evidence Cross Examine Defendant Today. MINEOLA, N. Y.. Sept 23. (By A. P.) "William M. Creasy, Kentucky mechanic and ex-sailor, declared on the witness tand to-day that Miss Edith Lavoy, school teacher, obtained posse-sslon of his revolver more than seven weeks before her death. He also submitted letters from her in support of his story that he did not shoot her, as ia charged, but that she committed suicide in his presence on June 23, last, because she was despondent. Letters from Mt. Lavoy entered In evidence thk afternoon contained reference to the revolver and to her wish that she could die. They also recorded among terms of endearment, her congratulations extended to him on his love for other women. Creasy, on direct examination, said that the wedding date for himself and Miss Iavoj' had been set first for Feb. 5, last, and had later been postponed for one year. On March 29 he told her to stop writing to him, he said. "I wrote and told her," he testified, "that I felt my love for her had changed, and I would rather our correspondence ceased." Kept Ills Revolver On April 29 he said he went to Washington and while there he received word from her asking him to come to Freeport. He reached Freeport on April 30, he said and that afternoon they walked to a grove and engaged in target practice with his revolver. On their way back, he Raid, he started to shoot at a dog and she took the revolver from him. That, he said, was how she happened to have his revolver. The Sunday after his visit he said she wrote the following 'etter which wa read in court today. "Dear Billie: You said you did not want me to write any more so am Just paying goodnight . (Signed) Me." The next letter entered in evidence was dated, May CO, nearly a month later and said in part: "So glad you love Miss Belth sj much Billie. I know she mut be a wonderful girl.

Sept. 2S. (By A. P.) Completing his argument before the United States railroad labor board for two weeks vacation yearly and inclusion of chief dispatchers
In the fcope of the rulv applicable i and although some of the events reto other members of the American i fcred to have now been superseded.
Train Dispatchers association, J. G. Luhrsen. president, tomorrow will cross-examine a number of witnesses to prove his contention a.s to the status of chief dispatchers. About 3 9 roads and mil-idiaries are involved in the dispute. The union chief contends that chief dispatchers are subordinate officials and therefore come under the terms of the rules and working conditions In effect as toward other members of tho union. The carriers charge that these employes are vested stvystantially with authority of division fuiperintendenta and hence should not be included in any working agreement signed between themselves and the union. In effect Mr. Luhrsen pointed out if chief dispatchers were not classed && subordinate officials the carriers could without hindrance work them 10, 12 or 14 hours a day without increasing their monthly salary. At present. Mr. Luhresen charged, many earners are forcing chief dispatchers to work longer than nine hours, the length of a dispatchers day as fixed by the hours of service act. Vacations. Mr. Luhrsen argued, are promotive of better efficiency. Train dispatchers, he said, work under a tremendous nervous strain with the safety of the traveling public in their hands. For this reason if for none other, he continues, they j should be riven one day of rest a week and two week vacation a year. He also a-sked the carriers to recognize seven legal howdajs. Tomorrows hearing will take on the form of a court, witnesses being' called to the stand, questioned and i . i . cross-examined. Not cmy union member?.

Constantine's Future Plans , Told On Eve of Abdication
Deposed Ruler, Interviewed Just Before Fall, Calm Amid Tumult. ATHENS. Tuesday, (Delayed). (By A. P.) King Constantine, on the eve of the great crisis confronting him, received a representative of The Atsoc:ted Pres and made known his plans so far as they can now be formulated. King Constantine sat with the queen and other members of tho royal family grouped about him in the gurden of the summer palace at Taoti, Juft outside of Athens. The ladies were knitting while the crown prince stood apart, clearly preoccupied and talking with officers who brought in dispatches disclosing tho fan. developing situation. The king's prime minister had .Just arrived, bringing from the cap ital reports of revolts througho'-it tho realm. The crisis seemed at hand. But the king was calm amid the tumult surging about him. and he told his story frankly unhesitatingly, and at times with flashes of wit and epigram. He was dressed in a light gray suit, and might have been taken for any modest citizen. He spoke rapidly, in English, as he explained his cause. (The Interview waj given a few hours before the king's abdication. lt is given as received from Athens as showing the monarch's state of mind on the eve of hid fall.) It is not eay to ack a king whether he is pro-German or will abdicate. But Constantine helped along the interview by asking questions himself. Asks About America.

The British cabinet held three successive meetings today and another meeting will be held tomorrow morning. This fact alone is sufficient comment on the gravity of the situation in the Near East, revealed by yesterday's bad news which has been amply confirmed and accentuated by today' dispatches.
