uMuLT interrupted the Democratic convention this afternoon dur

the seating OF contesting Clark and Wilson delegates from South
underwood and other factions, not to be outdone, at once took 1t up. The

candidates were raised. The M@o ri and New Jersey standards were
torn from the clamps and a dsorganized, struggling procession filled
the aisles Of the delegate section. Several women appeared N the floor
during the demonstration. The galleries. crowded with partisans, were
quieted with the greatest difficulty The demonstration lasted twenty
minutes

The delegates to the Democratic national convention filed into the
convention hall singly and in groups today, prepared for a long and x

Dark horse talk died away a little today, and while many eandi-s

liberty TO discuss Clark and Wilson,
as no has expressed no preference
either way.
The boom for Senator John Kern,
of Indiana, is attracting some atten-
ton. Mr.. Bryan has placed an un-
qualified 30. K" on Kern, who also
has the support Of Thomas Taggart,
of Indiana. There Is a widely preva-
lent belief that If a deadlock comes
Mr.. Kern win be the winning dark
horse. 1t is said Charles f. Murphy
is not so much opposed to Kern as
present appearances might seem TO
Indicate.
Kern Is regularly persona grata to
Bryan. He stood with Bryan in the
temporary craftsmanship fight. He
was the candidate for vice-president
on the Bryan ticket in 1908. The Will
son people view with alarm the nirta-
ton of Bryan with the Kern idea. 1t
has caused in the Wilson rank a re-
newal of distrust of the Nebraska
leader.

BIG ROBBERY
DISCOVERED

The visit TO the home of Herman
C. Hoskier, Ridgewood road. South
Orange, by Mrs. Frank e. Martin, of
the same street, has disclosed what is
admitted by the police to be the great
est robbery in the history of South
Orange. More than $50, 900 worth of
oil paintings and portfolios were car
ried away In a most mysterious man.
ner. The discovery of the great haul
was made two weeks ago and Mr..
Hoskier was notified by cable. He in
turn asked the police to keep the
affair quiet.
Mr.. Hoskier has been in Rome for
a year studying the Bible at the
Pope's library. He is a close student
of religion and intended to make a
revision and translation of the Bible.
Hoskier is also a connoisseur of oil
paintings and portfolios. He had $50
pictures, which were appraised at
$50, 900. Every one of these Is miss
ing. The frames have been left. in
the home.
The house from which the treasures
were stolen sets back from the road
and is encircled by long rows of trees.
Anyone at night can be- in the house
without being e Mrs. Martin
lives but a few doors away and has,
according to her story. paid several
visits to the house, but found all in
order.
Two weeks ago she went to the Ii
brary and discovered abe valuable
paintings cut from their frames.
She notified the South Orange police,
who asked her to keep the affair
quiet. Thomas Johnson, who AR
ried the insurance on the home, was
communicated with and said the pic
lures were valued at more than $780,
900. William Kennedy, an oil paint
ing dealer, of New York, from whom
most of the collection had been
bought, said there were $50 pictures
in the collection and could never be
replaced. He also stated that the
value would be much greater abroad
than here.
Marshal Thomas Mcguire and Ser
geant Edward A. Tracey, of the
South Orange police, have the case
under their charge. This afternoon
they went to New York, where they
hope to run down a clue. They will
have little to say concerning the
case.

A story was circulated his morn
ing by Edmund b. Whittier, of
Essex county, to the effect h a Mr..
Bryan had received a telegram from
Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Whittier, who is
a Wilson leader, said he had anthem

M. Dixon, manager of the Roosevelt
campaign, had wired Mr.. Bryan that
If either he or woodrow Wilson were
nominated Mr.. Roosevelt would sup
port the Democratic ticket. This
failed of verification.

PLATFORM

BALTIMORE, June 27.-Mr. Bryan
and Senator O'Gorman, of New York,
will write the platform of the Demo-
cratic national convention.
When the working subcommittee
of the committee on resolutions met
today the members found themselves
without a platform draft of sufficient
cohesiveness to form a basis for the
committees operations, and a conclu-
sion was arrived at speedily to APP
point a second subcommittee to pre-
pare a draft for the convenience OF
the subcommittee, and later of the
full committee, and Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. O'Gorman were designated to
perform that service.
The subcommittee then adjourned
with the understanding that it would
reconvened at 4 o'clock and that the
full committee would be called at 7
o'clock this evening.
The subcommittee has progressed
so far as to justify the conclusion on
the part of it's members that It will
be prepared to present q fairly com
plete PLATFORM at { cloch. AIter tne
subcommittee adjourned at midnight
last night the members went to their
rooms under instructions to prepare
various planks for consideration. and
when they assembled this morning q
number of comparatively, complete
propositions were presented. These.
however, were without connecting
links, and, moreover. it was necessary
that each of them should<undergo the
supervision of other members Of the
committee.
Mr.. Bryan and MI. O'Gorman went
to work Immediately to thresh the
platform into shape. They turned
one of the big committee rooms of
the convention hall into a workshop.
and the announcement was made that
there would be neither coming in or
going out while they were at work.

this regard, two stalwart sentinels

dence real estate in recent months was

Vanderbilt. The latter property fronts
about 2oS feet on Swami street, taking

section of these streets.
The Quay property has frontage oi
OF Ito feet. The residence occupies
about half of the frontage. In connec-
ton with the transfer deed of trust
