 The New York delegates headed by a brass band marched into the hall at 11:55 and paraded the aisles. They were followed by the other State dele gations that participated in the march from the hotel.
 George w. Perkins was elected na- tional committeeman at the meeting of the New York delegates. Amos Pinchot nominated Oscar Straus in opposition to the financier, but the diplomat declined to be candidate, saying that he believed the present crisis in the nation demanded a younger and more active man. The selection of Perkins was then made unanimous.
 Following the delegations, came the major portion of, the crowds joined in the parade and others croWding in the hall as the delegates took their seats. It was a noisy, laughing, good natur- ed aggregation, obviously out to "whoop-er-up'. An unusually large number of women were on hand and a number of these spent the time be- fore the call to order mingling with the delegates. Miss Jane Addams in a front row of the Illinois delegates held an impromptu reception and was greeted by scores of women, suffra- gettes and others who stopped to con- graduate her on the prominence she was giving the cause of women by her afi in r1Y,nc trnn
 The New York delegates adopted a resollSxon favoring the. purchase by the 0 $. government of the home of Thomas Jefferson

 It is said that the task of en1isting Whitlock in the Bull Moose movement was Qel6Sdt0Q IO Lindsey not only De" cause of the latter's close utilization with Whitlock in sociological work, but because of the further fact that Lindsey is a convert from the Demo- cratic ranks. It is expected that the fact that Miss Jane Addams, who has also been a fellow worker with. Whit lock in many of the latter's reform movements is also affiliated with the progressive party, will be urged as one of the reasons why the Toledo leader should get aboard.
 The Colorado delegation brought a big white banner into the hall on which was printed in glaring black letters:
 No more Guggenheim; no more Deyipe: no more Angel Archie. Down with the bosses"
 The banner was greeted with ap- plause as it was carried around the iasles.
 It was 12:35 when Senator Beveridge called the convention to order. He was given a reception that brought a broad smile to his face and he stood gayel in hand while he was greeted with the moose call.
 Prayer was offered by Rev. Father Andrew Spetz, of Chicago.
 A telegram from w. R. Nelson of the Kansas City Star, congratulating the convention and approving the movement, was read by the secretary, after which the delegates and specta- tors united in singing America
