The selection Of John A. Gavit, city
attorney Of Hammond, for chairman
OF the democratic county central cam
mittee was a mere formality this af-
ternoon when the convention adj
journed at o'clock.
The convention took recess at
noon in order that the creden-
tial committee might have time
to hear the contest between Pedro
Buskovich, a Gary policeman and one
of Knots followers, and E. Braddock.
Croliuss man, who were cdntesting
for the seat as the delegate from the
first precinct in Gary.

Gavit would be acceptable
RESOLUTION WAS BALkED.
1t looked as thought the attemnf ,v
Crolius and other independents demo-
Gratis to get a resolution through the
convention endorsing Governor Mar
shall for the presidency would precipi-
tate another fight between these demo-
Gratis and Knots and his followers
Mayor Becker did not appear at this
time to be taking any part one way or
the other
With the exception of the contest for
the first precinct, both Knots and Crol-
ius expressed themselves as well sat-
ished with the color OF the precinct
committee from Gary. Crolius claiming
three. providing Braddock was seated.
and Knots the other three BY a tac-
1t agreement no attempt was to be
made on either side to get the Clark
Station delegate and he was to go into
the convention unpledged The Clark
Station delegate was F. Behn.
GARY FURNISHES EXCITEMENT.
Another feature which was very ap-
parent. at least at this forenoon's con-
ventfon, was the seeming lack OF en-
thusiasm. 1t appeared to be routine
session. in which the contest from Gary
was the only development In whit
Ing last night not even delegate had
been chosen, in fact, no meeting was
held and udge George W. Jones was
the. only man present today. The same
was true of a number OF other precincts
