leries we're almost vacant.
A peculiar arrangement of the
seats of the delegates brought
New York, Indiana and Illinois
in the very middle of the hall
and on opposite sides of the big
aisles. This insured Tom Tag
CART, the Indiana boss, Murphy of
Tamany an dRoger Sullivan of
Illinois being close enough for
speech whenever necessary. Me-
braska, where most of the inter-
est conferred on William j. Bryan,
was on the side of the hall to the
left of the speakers platform.
At 11:20 fewer than one-third
of the delegates were in their
places, many having remained in
their hotel sand headquarters in
conference.
When the Missouri delegation
arrived, it as said that at con-
ference this morning it was de-
cided that no effort would be
made to secure concerted action
on the temporary Craftsmanship.
The first real applause from
either galleries or floor followed
the bringing into the hall of the
banner of Texas, on which was
amblazoned:
"Texas has eighteen solid
votes for Woodrow Wilson"
At 11:40 the seats on the main
floor of the armory were comfort
ably filed, but the top galleries
were still occupied, except in
spots.
Cardinal Gibbons arrived at
11:42, escorted by detachment
of local police.
At 11:49 the Connecticut dele
cation marched dow nthe aisle to
their seats.
The California delegation
marched into the hall at 1885.
The delegates were receded by a
standard-bearer, carrying a pic
ture of Champ Clark.
At 1919 Chairman Mack took
his seat at table and moment
later Cardinal Gibbons took his
place alongside. Most of the
delegates were in their seats al
that time but Murphy, Taggart
and Sullivan were conspicuously
absent.
1t was 1917 when Chairman
Mack raped the convention to
order and directe dthe sergeant
alarms to clear the aisles.
Tom Taggart, the Indiana boss
strolled up to the platform and
held a whispered conversation
with Chairman Mack while the
convention waited.

Arrangements Poor.
The arrangements for the ad-

tators to the democratic national
convention were the worst in the
history of any previous national
convention. AS a result there
was great confusion about the
main entrances to the rambling
structure. The door tenders were
