Convention elected Thomas j. Spellacy,
Of Connecticut. chairman, and imme-
diately took up the question Of whether
the convention should proceed to the
nomination of ticket before adopting

by former Representative Fitzgerald, Of
New York, providing that speeches
nominating Presidential candidates
shall be made before the presentation Of
the platform, but that the balloting for
the candidate shall not take place until
the platform has been adopted. A mo-
ton to nominate ! nadvancc Of the ac-
tion on the platform was voted down.
