met at noon on Thursday at the

was made from 1.l5 10 Els o'clock

bled at 2.3O and received the report
on credentials. but the report on
resolutions not being ready Sc
cond adjournment to s o'clock was
made.
DR.. Warren II. REYNOLDS. OF Cum
berIand. was Chairman. and Col.
W. Hopper Gibson. Of Queen Anne s.
Secretary. The proceedings we're
by turn tumultuous, spectacular.
bitter and enthusiastic, and what
ever else may be said Of the convsn-
ton, there certainly was nothing
cut and dried about II. Time and
again the efforts Of The old ofganlza-
ton leaders TO concentrate and
nominate slate we're frustrated.
and the ticket at last and almost
unanimously agreed on was the re-
suit OF forces that finally dominated
and swept the body.
The defeat OF Mr.. Henry williams,
Of Baltimore, was Q disappointment
10 the city delegation. At one time
he seemed sure Of the nomination,
and a ticket settled upon by the
State managers appeared TO be a
certainty. Twice II was smashed.
The leaders had no one tohold them
together. They split, changed and
shifted. Finally the controlling I'M
fiuences conferred behind Judge
CrOthers and nominated him.
II was q wide.open convention.
Some blows straight from the
shoulder were exchanged. Govern
Or Warfeld Expressed his views
with frankness and fullness both on
the floor Of the convention and in

we're some spirited Tits. Senator
German and the Governor locked
horns over the platform. the Govern
