SAN FRANCISCO, aug. zz.-Shail iion
Del Vale did not call the Democratic
s Convention to order until 1920 this morn
ing.
discomfort with the Baldwin Theater
as a meeting place broke out in the con-
vention again.
Two reports were presented from the
committee appointed yesterday, the ma
jority favoring the retaining of the pres
ent meeting place; the minority advising
the moving to one of three:other halls.
There was lively row between Chair
man Del Vale and Frank ID. Gould OF
San joaquin.
Gould asked the meaning OF the re-
ports.
Del Vale replied that the Chairman
had no more intelligence than those on
the floor.
The San Joaquin delegation sits under
the gallery. and Gould arose and IN
wildly denunciatory tones shouted tnat
the delegates under the gallery could not
hear the reading OF the reports. and that
the Chairman's reply was unfair ana lh-
sulting.
At this the convention rose as one man,
and Gould was hqwled down..
Several delegates in the rear OF the hall
attempted to speak, but Del Vale per
eAlptorily pointed 10 each with his gaVel,
saying: Sit down, sir; and you; anu
you.n Then he apologIzed TO Gould.
jackson of san Francisco, Chairman of
the committee, fought hard for removal.
lie aroused the ire OF the galleries by re-
terring to them as the riffraf OF the city.
= Jackson was repeatedly called 10 order,
aud he got the whole convention III tu-
multi by insinuations against the Chair

ORDER OF BUSINESS.
1t was plain that the Budd forces had
captured the committee when an order of
business was adopted providing for the
nomination of Justice of the Supreme
Court before that for Governor This
was the result of q combination between
the friends OF Judge James E. Murphy
of Del Norte. who has the solid support of
the northern counties for the Supreme
Justice nomination, and the Budd men,
After that order had been adopted. the
Barney Murphy men, who are in a
minority on the committee, suddenly
woke up and moved an amendment Civ
ing Gubernatorlal nominations the pref
erence in the order of business.
The Chair ruled that the matter had
already been disposed of, and the Muir
ply men were out-generaled. They will
make a strong fight against this order
when the report is presented to the con-
ventidn tomorrow morning. The COM

order of business for the convention:

FIGHT FOR SUPREME JUSTICES.
The fight for the Supreme Justice
nomination has been changed by the
withdrawal of Judge Bridgeford of CO.
lnsa and Judge J. x. Law of Merced
from the fight for tbs long term. Zach is
now a candidate Tor the short term. 1t
seems probable that the nominees will be
Judge James Il. Murphy OF Del Norte
and Judge Jackson Temple OF Santa
Rosa for the long term and Judge Law
Tor the short term.
For the short term for Supreme Jus
tice. John X. Alexander of Monterey,
Waiter Cope OF Santa Barbara and Victor
