The enthusiasm of dissent and the vigor of objection, however, stimulated a few of Roosevelt's opponents in the hall. And in 'he vast curving recesses of the sold out galleries the good folk of Chicago reported to the chair that their judgment of the con vention's choice was “boo. rotten and phooey.” The stampede to Roosevelt was stopped in its tracks, in fact, by the bull throated gallery ites Convinced, apparently, that if they could shout down William G. McAdoo the word never would get around that he had switched to Roosevelt, the galleries gave the former secretary a booing. It was a booing such as few men have experienced since the McAdoo name roused Madison Square Garden spec tutors In 1924 to the greatest, nonstop collective boo in American history. “I shall say what I have to say," reported McAdoo into the h ud -peak-
erg.

HARRISBURG, 111., July 2. (UP) — One of the biggest man hunts in the history of southern Illinois swung into action today upon the trail of three gunmen who last night killed the Hairishurg chief of police and fatally wounded a state highway patrolman. Chief of Police Dan Law was shot to death and highway patrolman Graiiy Sutton was fatally wounded. He died in a hospital here today. Law and Sutton were .-hot as they were escorting the trio to jail in their automobile after anesting them on suspicion. A broken windshield in the automobile, which hod been cruising about Harrisburg, attracted the attention of the officers. The police chief climbed on one running board and the patrolman on the other. After a short distance the occupants of the lutnmohile opened fire with pistol • The officers also drew guns and began firing at close
range.
