called to order in Harmanus Blocker Hall
this afternoon. Great confusion resulted
from orders which had been given to keep
the doors closed until the last moment
The result was that when the doors were
opened at three minutes before two
o'clock the crowd burst in with yell
and rush. IN three minutes the top
gallery was filled with stamping ard
shouting mass of men and boys. In the
galleries were a number of Hearst ban
ners, and running fire of shouts and com
lnents was maintained by the gallery
crowd.
The crush before the doors and in the
hall was tremendous. The ais1es were
filled with scramb1ing crowd, demand
ing seats at the ratio of about three per-
sons to one seat. The police were all but
helpless. Hats were smashed, clothing
torn, faces scratched and feet trampled
in the rush.
Order was finally secured and former
State Senator George Ranes. of Monroe
county was Introduced as chairman, and
he delivered speech TO the convention.
He discussed national issues and referred
to the leadership of New York Democracy.
Without mentioning his candidate by
name he referred to Judge Parker as
lone whose Democracy has never been
questioned"
After the roll call the matter of con-
tested seats was referred to a committee
and recess was taken until evening.
THE EVENING SESSION.
When the doors of the convention open.
ed at GAS tonight there was a rush that
swept before it the ushers. door tenders
and police. The word had gone forth
that there would be q fight on the floor
of the convention, and within a few min
utes the balcony, gallery and stage were
iammed The police elected hundreds of
persons who had preempted the delegates
seats.
1t was not until almost nine O'Clock
that the convention was called to order.
Senator McCarren presented the report
of the Committee on Platform.

upon State issues until the fall convention
when State candidates are to be noni
mated.

for law, and that love of liberty and peace
which the spirit of military domination
tends inevitably to weaken and destroy
