New York. April 15.-State Senator Patrick H. McCarren. leader of the Kings county democracy, was unseated tonight at the democratic state con vention in Carnegie hall to select dele gates to the national convention after a two days bitter contest before the committee on credentials. He was al- ternately greeted with cheers and de- risive cries when he finally addressed the convention, and once was insulted by man on the platform near him. The senator told this man he would talk to him outside the hall.
 Amid scenes tense and dramatic in the extreme he first appealed to the convention to refuse to sanction the majority report of the committee and followed this up with deliberte defiance of those who. he said, were excluding him from a place in the party councils to which he had been chosen by his democratic constituents. He threatened the Tammany delegates with the state- ment that if the plans to put him out side the party lines were carried out, no one in the convention hall would live long enough to see the election of another dfmot 'ic mayor of New York city.
