 Before the result of the 44th ballot could be announced, some of the Washington delegates demanded a poll or the delegation, The chairman bit tterly denounced the demand, declar- Ing that it came from some delegates who wanted their names in the pa pers."
 James ruled that any delegation could demand roll call at any time
 Washington's chairman appealed to James to make an exception in this case N"State of Washington has no alternates,' he said, and we have universally recognized each other s proxies from the beginning"
 James stuck to his ruling s"So long as the chair has no challenge made of proxies it cannot interfere he said. ''The delegation had no right to ere ate alternates if the convention that created it did not name any. The chair must rule that no proxies can be recognized here.''
 A Washington Delegate shouted at James, T appeal from the decision of the chair which is a part of the fraud that has been injected into this con vention." James became white with anger
 If the gentleman has any opinion that any of the decisions of this chair protects fraud he has a remedy, and I hereby invite him to appeal from the decision of the chair" shouted James.
 q do so appeal was the reply. From a dozen sections of the hall came motions to lay the appeal on the table On the viva voce vote there was a chorus of ayes and a very few noes from the Washington reservation James smiled. It was an expansive smile that stretched from ear to ear.
