publican state convention was almost
turned into a riot before the delegates
were admitted. At the hour for the
opening Of the convention fully 2,OUO
people were In front Of the Crawford
opera house clamortng for admission.
The cause Of the trouble was disa-
greement between the Filley and
the Kerens factions who are fighting
for supremacy. Mr.. Filley, as chair
man of the state committee, issued
tickets to his set Of delegates. Kerens
and his followers were present in force
with IL contrasting delegation.
Finally, however, the crowd became
SO boisterous that it was feared an
attempt would be made to break down
the doors and police were sent for.
A crowd of men wearing Eilley hats
congregated in the rear Of the theater
and attempted to smas in the door.
They used a battering ram and some
glass was smashed. The sergeant-at-
arms on the inside telephoned for the
police and patrol wagon full Of of.
ficers was sent. The sergeant-at-arms
was unable to identify the individuals
using violence and no arrests were
made, but the officers remained.
Finally an agreement was reached
by which the doors were opened and
the delegates allowed to enter. After
q delay of three hours Chairman Fill
ley called the convention to order.
After the reading of the call Mayor
Worries welcomed the delegates. The
building was packed but the delegates
seemed to have forgotten their wrath.
and aside from few bruised heads
and black eyes, where delegates had
been struck with policemen's clubs in
the row, there were 10 evidences of
what had for q time threatened to re-
suit in riot.
