 TWO CHANGES MADE
 Two eleventh changes were made in the personnel of the ticket picked by the leaders last night. Fo-- mer Senator John F. Healy of West chester was advocated for the nomina- tion of state treasurer, and Frederick k. Crane of Kings, formerly supreme court justice, was put forward as candidate for associate judge of the court of appeals in place of Edgar ;. K. Merrill of Lewis. The Crane can didacy was not announced until aboas five minutes before the adjournment of the convention. Judge Merrill's name was not presented.
 While the contention did not actually designate or recommend any candidate for any position, the leaders ticket was placed before the convention, place by place, and no other candidate was sug- gested for the consideration of the dele gatlons with the single exception of MT. Conway
 The proceedings were unusually harmo- nious The only serious objection to the programmes prepared by the leaders ot Tammany Hall came from Mayor George R. Lunn of Schenectady an avowed can- ddate for United States senator, who left the convention before it had fin ished it's business today. The Schenec- Jauy executive Dallleu NdiiaHtly pue vainly for the elimination from the plat form of plank declaring for mod- fication of the Volstead prohibition en- forcement act that would define intox- eating beverages in such manner as to permit the traffic in beer of a 2.75 per cent alcoholic content. The vote was 4O6 to 34 against his proposal.
 PLATFORM ADOPTED
 Todays session was devoted to the reading and adoption of the platform cept for the lone fight by Mayor Lunn by Chairman John J. Fitzgerald of the resolutions committed. there was no de- bate.
 The League of Nations and other na- tional issues were not mentioned, all though there was blanket indorsement of the platform adopted by the national convention at San Francisco which con- tains plank declaring for the league favored by President Wilson. Conve2- ton officials explained that it was con sidered advisable to confine the state platform to state issues, and that the blanket indorsement of the national play- form should be construed as indorSing every separate plank in it.
 , Besides fayoring a modification of the Volstead act, the platform recommended recognition without intervention in all cases where the peoples of nation, as in Ireland, have by free vote of the peo- pie set up a republic" It indorsed the Wilson and smith administrations and pledged loyal and undivided support to the party's national and state tickets in the November election.
