Field.
Boston, April J.-ihere were stormy
scenes ut the Seventh district Republican
congressional convention held in Charles
town yesterday aftrrnoon. The Hayes
delegation desired the ward delegates OF
Charlestown expelled from the convention
on the ground that the caucus held
their ward was illegal. because of tecn-
nical error in the enrolment OF the voters.
An appeal to the chair resulted in a rul-
fng that the Bunker Hill delegation as in
dividuals were entitled TO seats. A yea
and nay vote was taken on appeal from the
decision Of the chair, which resulted In
the chair being sustained by vote of 81
TO 52
This so enraged the Hayes forces that
they bolted the convention, adjourning to
a lower hall In Association building, where
they held
A Convention of Their Own.
The first tilt came after Hon. X. S. Frost
of Chelsea had been unanimously chosen
chairman Of the convention, and when;
upon motion being put and carried, he
appointed the following committee on
credentials: George f.. Smith of Everett,
~.
Of Wakefield, George n. Swallow Of
Charlestown and A. B. Smith OF Saugus
Mr. Tdrner of Maiden objected TO Mr..
Swallow being placed on the committee
and moved that his name be stricken from
the list and some other substituted. Mr..
Swallow was from Charlestown ward,
and IL was the intention TO protect the
ward caucus of that district.
Willard Rowland of Chelsea opposed the
motion on the ground that Mr. Swallow
was not a delegate from the ward where
there was a contest. Mr.. Putnam of Chel-
sea then moved the previous QUESTION, and
rising vote being taken, Mr.. Swallows
name was left on the list by vote of 81
TO So
The committee on credentials retired
and heard the
Charges OF Iiiegaiity
brought by Mayor Hayes Of Lynn. Law2
yer Manchester presented the Hayes side
of the question, claiming that the ward 4
voters were not properly enrolled. Lawyer
Preble of Charlestown refuted the charges.
During the absence of the committee
Chairman Frost was Obliged to resign his
position on account Of delicate health, and
A. w. Brown of Chelsea was chosen in his
place
Two reports were presented to the con-
venton by the committee, O majority
favoring the ward delegation and a
minority opposing them. The chair being
appealed to he ruled that the ward dele
gates were entitled TO remain. His de-
cison was surtained by yea and nay vote
of So to 81
Amid storm of mingled applause and
Kisses, the delegates from Lynn, with the
exception Of Delegate Stearns, one from
Naha1t, three from Saugus and fourteen
from Maiden withdrew from the hall.

committee, reported the whole number of
delegates present to be l70-five short.
Some discussion arose about filling these
vacancies which was finally adjusted sat
isfactorily by admitting those duly quail
fled TO fill them.

raised slight disturbance. A Lynn dele

ply that it would do no good, and that II
would tend 10 excite discord.
