Committee are in session at the Bay State
House and it is decided to have Chairman
Avery enter Mechanics Hall and announce
that, though the Convention was called
here, mob have possession of the hall and
the Convention is adjourned to some date
IN the future, perhaps as late as October.

The Butler delegates in Mechanics Hall,
after the discussion regarding the admission
OF delegates took recess for ten minutes,
during which time those who had not break
tasted were served with lunch by the Com
mlttee having charge of General Buffers
Interests During the discussion and con-
fusion Mayor Pratt entered and asked that
order might be maintained. He had made
some effort to have this matter settled salts
factorily, and until he could ascertain who
else was entitled to enter the hall no one
would be admitted.
A vote of thanks to the Mayor was
passed.
A motion was then submitted and passed
that His Honor Charles B. Pratt, Mayor OF
Worcester be awarded the second place on
the ticket Applause and laughter At
the close Of the recess Mr.. Moore, of Bos-
ton said the usurping committee were
about to commit another act of usurpation
by adjourning the Convention to another
day. The Anti-Butler delegates are settling
their hotel bills and departing for their
homes.
Mr. Bird, of Walpole, has just made an
address in the vestibule of the Bay State
House to this effect: "When we got up this
morning we found mob in possession of
Mechanics Hail. the place at which the
Convention was called We called upon
Mayor Pratt. He found he could not clear
the hall, and it was apparent that it could
not be done without bloodshed. We pre-
ferred to adjourn the Convention to Boston
next week."

offered to pay the expense of all the dele
gates to Boston.
