a right to read his resolution and he
stuck grimly to the job of putting it
over" The chair would not let him
read
Suddenly amid the din the chair,
with Judge Seabury pleading for rec
ognition, recognized George NJ. Palmer,
of Schoharie, former chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, without
knowing what Mr. Palmer wanted, but
apparently in the belief that Palmer
would help him out.
II move that the rules of the AS
sembly be adopted as the rules of this
convention" said Mr.. Palmer.
All In favor-carried."
Back again, more eager than ever,
came the judge.
"And now, Mr.. Chairman, under the
rules of the convention l ask permis-
sion to read without debate nv reso-
luton"
Chairman Kellogg looked around a
proving mods he said:
Go ahead and read"
But the convention was afraid of
the "TNT" and the uproar of pro-
test was louder than ever. Chairman
Kellogg pounded with his gavel, and
finally he was heard to say:
Judge Seabury may proceed"
Smith Delegates Joyful
With smile overspreading his face,
the judge then read his resolution.
The Smith delegates, after hearing
the structures on Hearst, went wild
with demonstrations of approval.
The din broke out again when the
Judge finished, as various delegates
tried to get recognition.
Finally "Packy" McCabe, of Albany
1aa Of
ton, got the floor. Every one expected
ne would break out with an attack on
Judge Seabury. To the surprise of the
cXpectant delegates he said:
"Mr Chairman, l move the unani-
nous approval by this convention of
the resolution read by Judge Seabury." !"
Senator James A. Foley, Of New York,
who sat alongside Charles F, Murphy.
and Borough President Connolly of
ton. Foley failed in his attempt to
shut off the reading of the resolution
and 1t was adopted by vivc voce vote
without a dissenting voice.
Then followed a motion for adjourn
ment.
"The Hearst men could not afford to
oppose that resolution" said McCabe
to reporters. "We've got to assume
that it does not mean Hearst. If Sea-
bury had named any one in his reso-
luton it would not have been passed
without a fight. If any one wants to
attack Hearst on the ground of low
atty or disloyalty will go to the ma,
with him on it, but no Democratic con-
vention can afford to hold back from
adopting such resolution as the one
Judge Seabury proposed"
The delegates swarmed out of the
convention hall, and soon the corri-
doris of the Grand Union Hotel. Demo
cratic headquarters, were buzzng with
excited comment.
Says He Meant Hearst
Judge Seabury was congratulated by
scores of ant-Hearst delegates. To all
of them he said the same thing:
81 meant Hearst"
The Tammany men were JOYOUS over
the quick passage of the Seabury reso-
luton.
"How could we help being for it ?"
they asked. at will help to put Hearst
out of the running and make it easier
to lndorse 'AP Smith for Governor"
When it was suggested that William
Church Osborn was already a candi-
date, and that Hearst had already an
nounced he would go ahead whether
the state convention indorsed him or
not, they came back with GAP will
have the solid support of Tammany
and practically all of the enrolled
Democratic vote of greater New York.
He will get as many votes up the
state as Osborn and Hearst put to-
gethcr. How can you beat him?"
Another bomb was thrown at Hearst
