 SAN JOSE, Cal, June 22-The con. vention was called to order at 9:30, Boggs presiding. Lowell of SantaClara placed in nomination for governor Lawrence Archer. C. w. Gully of Santa Clara, seconded the nomina tion; Wallace Leach of San Diego, also seconded the nomination of Archer. Ball of Yolo, eulogized Jo Hamilton, and withdrew his name because of illness.
 SAN JOSE, Cal, June 22.-Dr. Shorb explained that he could not vote to maintain rule in a Demo- cratic Convention so internally mean that the Republican party had repudiated it. This excited the ire of an Alameda delegate, and side scene looked imminent. The con- vention refused to sustain the chair by vote of l66 ayes to 286 noes. Scenes of confusion followed. The chair ordered roll of the Alameda delegation and more confusion ensued. Many indignant remarks were made by delegates concerning those who came to the conv vention to break their pledged instructions to the people.
 SAN JOSE, Cal, June 22.-Great confusion followed the announce ment of the result of the first ballot. A motion for a recess till 1:30 was carried. Hearst's vote disappointed his followers.
 The president announced that can didates, according to the resolution, would now subscribe to the platform before balloting was begun.
 Clay NJ. Taylor was first intro duced amid great applause, and in- dorsed the platform in behalf of Berry.
 Johnson next was introduced and the applause was tremendous. He indorsed every Democratic platform, and abided by the declara. tions of Democratic conventions. He would lead the party to victory if nominated, and if not would cheer fully support the nominee. He ex- pressed contempt for the hired polj- ticians who came there to howl mo- nopoly against him. He referred to his anti-corporation record.
 George Hearst's name was hailed with applause. He said he should diappoint those who expected set speech; he was more of a worker than a talker. He said he thought he understood the wants of the peo- pie, and indorsed every line of the platform. He said he would give them an honest administration if elected, and if not nominated he would work for the nominee. He referred to his constant employ ment of white men and was willing to be judged by his record. Gen. eral Stoneman was loudly cheered, and endorsed the platform. He offered as security for his future, hls re cord in the past and condemned any third party movement. Archer spoke at length, endorsing the platform and reviewing many of the principal po- litlcal issues of the country. The convention then proceeded to ballot and fight arose at once over the unit rule. Alameda voted solid f r Stoneman. Gibbons claimed the right of voting according to his own convictions. McCleverty, Chairman of the Alameda delegation said that delegates had been instructed to vote as unit.
 Gibbons did not recognize the unit rule, and stigmatized the at- tempt to enforce it as a piece of ma chine bossism, and moved, as the sense of the convention, that each delegate should vote as he SAW fit.
 Hirschberg of Alameda read the resolution of the Alameda county convention instructing the delegates to vote as a unit for the choice of the majority.
 The chair ruled in favor of the unit rule.
 An appeal was taken and roll call demanded.
