M NEIL SAYS
 TICKETS WILL |BE VERY SCARCE
Little Chance, He Asserts, For Local Democrats to Get Into the National Con-
 venti0n

A scarcity of tickets of admission to the Democratic National conven- tion to be held in Baltimore on June 25th has discouraged many Democrats in Connecticut from making definite plans to attend the convention.
 The original intention to make np a special car as proposed by John DeVicq of the Democratic headquart- CTS of New Haven has now been abandoned. DeVicq's plan was to charter a special train and take down several hundred enthusiastic shouters for Baldwin, a nd the Connecticut delegation. A statement given out by National Committeeman Homer S. Cummings, to the effect that a very limited number of tickets would be allotted to each delegate has thrown cold water on this proposition. Many local Democrats who have signif1ed their intention of attending the Dem ocratic convention will probably re- consider their plans upon being ad- vised of the scarcity of tickets.
 Senator A. McNeil, Jr., of this city, one of the delegates. said today that he had been advised by National Com mitteeman Cummings that very linn ited number of tickets would be al-

 Mr. McNeil said: tI have just re- ceived word from our committeeman, MT. Cummings. who says, T would suggest that people be discouraged from going to Baltimore as chances that the bulk of those going will nev- CT see the inside of the convention hall.'
 Continuing MT. McNeil said: T have been informed that I will receive two tickets of admission, sand as I know of at least twenty-five Democrats who propose to go to Baltimore and will look to me for tickets of admission I am at loss to know how am to get them in the hall with but two tickets in my possession. It seems to me that with the large seating capacity of the hall more tickets should be allotted to each delegate; but if the National Committee, who will have charge of the distribution of tickets, allot but d limited number to delegates I can see of no way whereby the many visitors will secure admission"
