ST. Louis CetS
Dem. Convention
WILL CONVENE WEDNESDAY,
JUNE IA, AT NOON
ONLY TWO BALLOTS
Convention Adopted Resolution Call
ing for denomination and Ree!ec-
tion of Woodrow Wilson.

Washington, Dec THE democratic
national convention of 1916 will be held
in ST. Louis, beginning Wednesday,
June IA, at noon. The democratic ma
tional committee tonight named the
convention city and adopted resolu-
tions calling for the denomination and
reelection of woodrow Wilson as "the
trusted leader of national democracy"
ST. Louis Led from Start.
Chicago and Dallas contested with
st. Louis for the honor of the conven-
ton, but St. Louis easily led from the
start and won on the second ballot.
When the trend of the voting was seen
Texas moved that the choice of st.
Louis be made unanimous. Dallas held
second place on the first ballot, but
was displaced by Chicago on the sec
ond roll call.
Choice Made Unanimous.
The result of the first ballot was:
st. Louis 25, Dallas IA, Chicago 13. On
the second ballot the vote was: ST.
Louis 2S, Chicago Is, Dallas 9. The
majority for st. Louis was gained on
this ballot, when John T. McGraw
arose near the end of the call and
changed West Virginias vote from
Chicago to the Missouri city. Then
! the choice was made unanimous.
1t has been customary for national
conventions to begin work on Tues
day. The fact that Tuesday fell on the
4olH HeAl y ear may vi may lOl nave
had something to do with the deter
mination. The official explanation,
however, was to the effect that the
convention would not require more
| than three or four days to complete
| its work and it would not be too late
| in the week to start on Wednesday.
Political leaders in Washington to-
night regarded it as practically GER
| tain that Chicago will be selected for
the republican convention when the
national committee of that party meets
| here next Tuesday. The date for this
convention probably will be late in
June.
Each City Bid 100000.
Each of the three cities contesting
! for the democratic convention put in
| a bid of 100000. st. Louis placed in
| the hands of the chairman New York
! drafts for that amount. Dallas offered
| a certified check, while Chicago pre-
sented a pledge from the Association
| of Comm erce to contribute 500 600 on
call of the treasurer of the democratic
committee
Opening Was Love Feast
The national committee was in ses-
! sion almost continuously from 11.30
a. m until late tonight, completing
| details of convention arrangements,
| discussing financial ways and means
| for the coming campaign and debating
various subjects of party interest. The
| opening of the session was given the
atmosphere of a love feast when
| Thomas J. Pence of North Carolina,
| a protege of Secretary of the Navy
! Daniels, was elected secretary and in
| a speech of acceptance declared reports
/ of differences between himself and Ma
! tional Chairman w. f. McCombs were
| entirely without foundation.

Danbury Hatters Act.

Another chapter was added to the Danbury hatters' litigation last week, when counsel for the United Hatters of North America began sequestration proceedings against two local savings banks and one in South Norwalk to prevent interest of $50, 900 from being paid to the plaintiffs, D. E. Loewe & Co.,, as part of the judgment of $252,- 900, recently ordered by the United States supreme court. When the origi- nal action was brought several years ago, $6O, ,O00 in three savings banks be- longing to members of the Hatters' union, was attached. Counsel for the matters say that the accrued interest on this sum-$30, ,000-should not be used to help pay the judgment ordered by the supreme court The banks have retained counsel and it is probable that the matter will be taken to the courts for adjustment.

AIR-B0AT FELL
Ovid Gillette Witnesses Wreck of Ma
 chine in Which He Rode.

Ovid P. Gillette, in St. Petersburg, Florida, sends to The News an account of thrilling accident to the air-boat Florida, i'll which he recently en- joyed a flying trip over Tampa Bay. The account says:
 The breaking of the right wing of the airboat Florida" while at an altitude of probably 20 feet, with the resultant precipitation of Tony Pannus, pilot, and Miss Ruth Crawford, pas. senger, into Tampa bay, and the sub sequent rescue by Capt. H. H. Kramm in his speed boat, provided one of the most thrilling spectacles on the water front Friday that ever has been seen in St. Petersburg. Jannus was just be. yond the entrance to the cut to the yacht basin and coming in when the wing suddenly snapped. The boat dropped to the water on the right side thus putting Miss Crawford in the per- ilous position of going down under the wreckage. The plucky little pilot i'm. mediately scrambled in to the planes and commenced trying to get his pas senger where she would be safe.
 Capt. Kramm was standing on the Home line pier and saw the accident. Quicker than one an tell the story, he jumped into his boat, "The Flying Eagle" of Atlantic City, started his engine and was running to the rescue at a 30-mile clip. Upon reaching the wreck. Capt. Kramm found Jannus and his passenger clinging 10 the part of the machine that was above water They were taken to the hangar, where Miss Crawford's parents took her to the hotel, and Jannus went to the Spa for hot bath. What caused the break is mystery. Damage will amount to about $300. This is the first accident of the season on the airboat.
