 Great Jam at the convention-nIsny
 crushed and Women Painted on All
 sides.
 New York, Oct. 1.-Scenes without parallel in the history of city conven- around Carnegie hall, where the demo- cratic convention for the naming of a city ticket was held. Both within the building and outside, people were jam med together in a great unwieldly mass: many were crushed. and women tainted on all sides. Extra police forces were called out, but as the crowd continued to grow in density it was found just as impossible as before to keep the people under control.
 The first signs of enthusiasm in the house were when Leader Charles F. Murphy of Tammany marched down the center aisle and took seat about eight rows from the stage and near the aisle. Congressman Goldfogle walked just be- hind him. The crowd cheered. Lewis Nixon and Bird s. Coler sat in boxes, interested but almost unnoticed specta- tors. T. c. T. Grain was elected chair man of the convention and Thomas F. Smith acted as secretary.
 MT. Grain in a lengthy speech char acterized the Citizens union as "a CO., terie of faddists," the Greater New York Democracy as "a small office seek ing clique, and other opponents as west pocket organizations created to advertise particular individuals"
 This is political campaign" he said. because the result will have a bearing upon the state and national campaign.
 retired for deliberation John L. Shea of Brooklyn handed in petition protest ing against the placing on the demo- cratic ticket the names of two men. "who are improperly called democrats and whose names appear on the fusion tickets"
 On the return of the committee the platform was read It was received with comparative indifference; only three or four times was there any pro nounced applause and references re- hecting on President Roosevelt passed without cheers.
 The platform set forth that demo- crats and republicans everywhere will await the result of the coming election with an interest only second to that taken in a national political contest. Among other things the platform says:
 We believe in such municipal own ership of public utilities as the inan- cial condition as the city shall permit it to assume
 John J. Delaney then was escorted 10 the rostrum and nominated George B Mcclellan for mayor.
 The delegates from all the boroughs with the exception of Brooklyn stood up and cheered enthusiastically. The Brooklyn men remained in their seats.
 Mir. Delaney continued his praise of the candidate to whom he attributed all the virtues of his gallant father and a number of others. The nomination was seconded by Colonel Franklin Bartlett IAAAN SIOlt5i Co0lil0ll dOoCpuG Ill.,
 Martin w. Littleton of Brooklyn then nominated William J. Gaynor. The Brooklyn delegates rose en massee and cheered and waved their hats Senator McCarren seconded the nomination.
 MT. Mcclellan received the nomina- tion by ASA votes to 219 for Justice Gay nor.
 Prior to the nomination for comptrol- Ter James J. Martin. the regular chair man of the democratic city convention, made the announcement that he differ ed from his colleagues in Manhattan, and could not vote for the nomination of either Grout or Fornes.
 Luke D, Stapleton then placed the name of Edward M. Grout in nomina- ton for that office. There was much hissing from the galleries and one voice Inquired: Will Grout vote for McClel- Ian ?''
 Senator Charles l.. Guy seconded the nomination and declared that MT. Grout certainly would vote for Mcclellan. < Robert H. Elder of Brooklyn, said: Kings county regrets to have to dis sent from the delegates from Manhat- tan. We cannot endorse the nomina- tion of Edward M. Grout, because he is not a democrat, and he has spared no opportunity to revile the democratic party He then nominated Julian D. Fairchi1d, and MT. Littleton seconded the nomination.
 '.Will you," he asked, pointing at Mir Murphy, instruct your delegates to vote for the man who speaks of the stench of Tammany?' Do you think Richard Croker would have counselled the endorsement of a man like MT. Grout?" 5l
 On the roll call Mir Grout was non1- mated by vote of 42S to 225 for Fair child.
 Charles V. Fornes and Herman A. Metz were placed in nomination for president of the board of aldermen, Fornes receiving sthe nomination. MT. Fornes received the same number of votes for preside 1t of the board of al- dermen as did Mr. Grout for comptrol- Ter.
 An effort was made to have MT. Grout'g nomination declared unanimous, but John L. Shea voiced the formal protest of Kings county and the protest was honored.
 When the convention broke up Leader Charles F. Murphy declared himself well satisfied. @=-@
