JOHN MITCHELL DECLINES
Former Mine Workers Presi-

Work

DENVER, July 9.-John Mitchell, the
former president of the united mine
workers of America. today made per-
sonal appeal to the Alabama delegation
not to present his name to the con-
vention for the vice presidential nomi-
nation.
In discussing the situation at the
Alabama headquarters, Mitchell said
that while he would possibly strength
en- the democratic ticket in some quar-
ters he would weaken it in others, and
therefore he advised the delegation to
abandon its plan.
Speaking of his personal wishes, he
said he had made plans for the future
which meant much to his family and
that he would like to be undistdrbed
in carrying out his program, particu-
larly as he was greatly averse to en-
tering upon a political campaign.

STATE DELEGATION
TURNS ON MURRAY
Secretary of Central Committee
Is Rebuked for Attempt
ing to Dictate
Caucus Declares Messages on
Anti-Injunction Plank Were
Unwarranted
By Edward F. O'Day
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


DENVER, July 9.-After causing a
turmoil which engaged the attention
not only of the whole California dele
cation, but also of Governor Haskell
of Oklahoma, chairman of the COM
mittee on platform, John F. Murray,
secretary of the democratic state CEN
trail committee of California, has been
very soundly spanked and admonished
not to do it again.
Murray's attempt to dictate to the
national convention a plank on injunc-
tions has not been successful. AL
though the wire sizzled with his hot
indignant messages, he has received an
arctic reception at the hands of Cali
fornia democrats, as represented here,
and his enthusiasm has been frozen
stiff and inert by chill contact with
Governor Haskell.
SPECIAL CAUCUS ACTS
Murray's wires to Governor Haskell
and Judge John E. Raker, repudiating
the stand of Isadore Dockweiler in the
anti-injunction controversy now before
this convention, were considered of suf-
ficient Importance to warrant a caucus
in the California delegation, which ac-
cordingly was called at 2 o'clock this
morning in the headquarters at the
Hotel Law.
Despite the fatigue or long, hot
night session of the convention, the
California delegates injected a great
deal of vigorous warmth into this un-
timely caucus. All the remarks made
concerning the Murray telegram were
Of a nature uncomplimentary to the
new secretary of the state central COM
mittee.
Without regard to former rows, all
the delegates Joined in characterizing
Murray's action as unwarranted and
the kilograms, Judge Raker was in
kell and explain that the delegation
desired to have no regard paid to Muir
rays interference. This Judge Raker
offered to do with great alacrity.
MURRAY MESSAGE SCORNED
Judge Raker accordingly waited on
Governor Haskell in the headquarters
of the national committee, where the
platform committee has been perspir-
ingly at work through interminable
hours. The jurist from Alturas ex-
planned the awkward situation to Gov
ernor Haskell and requested him to
forget all about it.
Governor Haskell Immediately pro-
duced the Murray telegram and tore
it into bits. The typed message of the
Jealous secretary was strewn over the
floor of the committee room and an
other funny incident in the history Of
the California delegation was brought
to an end.
The platform committee, with the
imperturbable Dockweiler in its midst,
resumed its work as If nothing had

CHEER SEVERAL MINUTES
Loud cheers of approval greeted
Chairman Clayton as he concluded and
the applause was continued for sew
eral minutes.
While the demonstration was in
progress the Jefferson club of st. Louis
was admitted for parade through the
aisles. At the head of the line was a
blue banner bearing David R. Francis

enthusiasm.
Alabama and Mack of New York were
delegated to ascertain when the COM

times after speaking for 10 minutes
and soon concluded.
PLEDGES NEW YORK
A motion was made by an Oklahoma
delegate that George" w. Littleton of
New York be invited to address the
convention. This was taken to refer
to Martin w. Littleton. who four years
ago in st. Louis placed Judge Alton b.
%f-r1 fNr
the presidency.
The members of the New York dele
CATION accepted the invitation to Lit
tIeton as a compliment in which they
shared, as they cheered him Justify as
he mounted the rostrum.
The speaker caught the fancy of the
convention at once, and his remark that
whatever was the outcome of the con-
vention New York would support the
platform and nominees aroused a shrek
Of approval.
The clerk of the convention was then
directed to read the list of the new
national committee. When the name of
James NJ. Guffey as committeeman from
Pennsylvania was read there was loud
cheering. McQuisten of the Pennsylva-
MIA delegation Immediately asked for
recognition, but the roll call was COM
pleted.
Then Chairman Clayton said:
GUFFEY'S NAME DROPPED
I'm the recollection of the chair, the
action of the credentials committee in
referring back to the Pennsylvania del
egation the committee lists submitted
leaves Pennsylvania place on the ma
tional committee vacant. The chair
will rule, in advance of the question
being received from the Pennsylvania
delegation. that when the name of their
new committeeman is received it will
be announced"
The list of committeeman as read was
declared approved.
Kern of Indiana announced that the
committee on resolutions would be
ready to report not later than o'clock
and that its sessions were entirely har-
monious.
There were calls from Illinois for
speech from James Hamilton Lewis He
was invited to the platform, but was
late in arriving and after a brief wait
Senator Grady of New York moved

carried with a whoop.
