Owen, secre- tary of the Underwood national cam paign committee. q believe he has not once even visited his headquarters In Washington.

Everything was in readiness at the armory for the great convention, the principal business blocks were hidden for the first time behind carloads of flags and bunting and thousands of strange feet crowded | S. 1 advance guard of the democratic gath erng was fast succeeded by an en- thusiastic mass of delegates and visi. tors.
 The meeting of the arrangement com uittee of the convention and the open- ing here of headquarters by each of the avowed candidates for the presidential nomination started the convention sea son with a boom. Hundreds of decor ators converted the streets Into long avenues of color. Mingled with the red, white and blue of the nation were the orange and black of the state Many was the shock anti-Wilson men received as they first beheld the prom thence given to the state colors and not until some obliging inhabitant of the city explained that orange and hlack represented Maryland as we'll as Some could hardly believe their eyes as they beheld the convention hall platform swathed in orange and black which they mistook for tribute oi Princeton followers to Woodrow Will son.
 Electrical illumination will be a fea- ture of the convention display. The great white way" will be formally dedicated by a parade tonight. Fes- toons of evergreen and flower boxes will be other features of the convention dress of the city.

Try to Limit Debate

As the morning advanced efforts were made to stop the lmitless fire of argu- mont that had characterized the Alabama and Arizona contests. Roosevelt members objected to the shortening of the time limit, but agreed to help enforcing the existing rules.
 In this way it vas hoped a report could be completed by the credentials committed In time for presentation to the national forum during the day. An observation by Mir. Halbert of Minnesota early this morning that facts do not go in this con- mittee," precipitated a scathing exchange of remarks. Members jumped to their feet and demanded MT. Halbert apologize for a reflection on the honesty of the members of the tribunal.
 Mir Devine. as chairman, called to MT Halbert to preserve order. He said, "The gentleman from Minnesota is just as like ly to be wrong in the way he votes as are other D'bers Of the committed"

Malby of New York; member. of the credentials committee, said this morn ing no report would be presented to the convention until the last contest had been decided. If the Roosevelt men, he said, demanded a roll call on every contest the committee could not finish its work before Saturday night and the report would not be presented 10 the convention before Monday. Un- der these conditions he said, the con Vention could not complete it's work and adjourn until Wednesday of next week.
 Chairman Devine said, however, that if the Roosevelt members would con- fine their attack to those districts in- oluded in the list on which they have based their principal charges of fraud, including the Washington and Texas cases, the committee would be able to conclude early. The widest latitude would be allowed the Roosevelt mem hers, said the chairman, and the du- ration of the session depended entirely upon their attitude.
