gates, as outsiders had entered earlv
and pre-empted delegates seats. The
work OF the afternoon was well ad
Vanced before order was secured on the
main moor for the first time and the
disorder due to the excitement of the
balloting soon followed. Four hun
dred tickets mysteriously disappeared,
and We're In the hands Of people with
no authority to hold them, greatly to
the embarrassment Of the managers of

When Chairman Roach was ready TO
