n o'clock there was no indication

that the convention was ready to meet nor that the committees were ready to report. At 11:03 o'clock Deyery left the place at the back of the hall and started down the aisle. Ill minute the convention hall was pandemonium. Even the band was drowned out as delegates and friends stood on their chairs and cheered and waved mats and handkerchiefs. The chief took seat in the right of the hall and then the cheering partially subsided until Hugh Mclaughlin came in, when it was re newed for hiIn. A few minutes later John F. Carroll of Tammany Hall walked in and he received greeting.
 At 2 o'clock this morning it was re ported that the state committee had ordered an entirely new set of tickets printed for the convention The object is to keep Deyery and his friends out of the convention hall
 Thirty special policemen have been sworn in to guard the entrances to the hall and held up any man not dele gate suspected Of being in the Devery interest.
 This deciS.c1 was reached at con- ference between IilI, Mcclure and other leaders who are desirous of pre- venting Deyery from making demon stration in the hall in the event of an adverse report of the contest commit tee, which, contrary to earlier informa- tion. seems probable.
 Thomas T. Smith, the associate of Goodwin, who occupied Devery's seat in the convent on Tuesday, said:
 4sI understand that the committee will throw both delegations, Devery's and ours, out of the convention
 It was almost 12 o'clock before the delegates to the state Democratic con vemtion began to move toward the hall. The big auditorium was almost bare of decoration, and there were no signs to show where the various county del egations sat.
 At lilo the announcement reached the convention hall that the committee on credentials would not seat either Beverv or Goodwin, and immediately there was great excitement. Devery said to a reporter: Did you see my reception? It pleases me very much to see the people appreciate my pres ence in this convention.
 ssI have nothing to say except that I have always been democrat. l am a democrat and will continue to be a democrat. That is all,I will say now.
 At 11:27 the temporary chairman called the convention to order. The committee on credentials made a re port and the ninth New York district was shut out, The committee decided that neither Devery nor Goodwin were entitled to seats in the convention.
 When this was read Deyery walked down toward the platform, while his friends cheered themselves hoarse and the convention was in turmoil. In spite of the sergeat- at-arms he forced himself to the platform and called on HUI for justice A vote was taken on the matter of seating Devery and 4 resulted as follows: For Devery IS against him 428 As soon as the re suit was announced Devery walked out of the convention hall and business was resumed.
