TUMULT FOLLOWS
HASTY ADJOURNMENT
By Associated Press.


denly was the Republican state con-
vention adjourned late this afternoon
that the first days session ended In
quite n tumult No sooner had Chair
man Judge ]. w. Mckinley taken the
vote on a motion to adjourn and de-
clared the convention closed for the
day than a score Of delegates Jumped
to their feet, clamoring for a hearing.
But the chairman clung to his decision
and refused to reopen the session.
Almost at the last minute before the
opening of the convention the san
Francisco delegation changed their
minds and decided not to abide by the
unit rule. This means that the 151
members of the delegation controlled
by Abe Ruef will vote practically as
they please on the first ballot. This
will save Ruef from assuming the
responsibility for their action at the
outset.
A caucus Of the Sonoma delegates
this morning was held and 1t was de-
cided that almost the entire strength
of the delegation, which consists of 21
votes, is to be thrown to Pardee. AS
this delegation is pledged to Judge
Burnett for justice of the supreme
court, it's action means that the latter
will be taken off the slate framed by
the Organization" managers.
