NEW YORKERST TOLD
T0BACK DR.. BUTLER
Senator WadsWorth Assumes
Role Of Boss to Bring End
To Confusion.

CHICAGO, June 9.-Orders went to
the New York delegates late last
night to vote for DR.. Nicholas MUIR
ray Butler on the first ballot. They
came from Senator James w. Wads-
worth jr, chairman of the delegation
who decided to assume tn role Of
BOSS in ordr to END the confusion
among the delegates and get some
where. Left. to their own devices,
the New York contingent had got into
q hopeless mhddle.
The decision to boss the ledegates
came after,a conference in which Mr..
Wadsworth, Charles d. Hilles, the
New National Committeeman for New
York, and DIR. Butler, took part.
The university President told Mr..
Wadsworth fiatly that 1t was time
he knew where he stood, so far as
New York was concerned, and deman-
ded that the delegates be informed
that they were frittering away their
opportunity to name the next Presi-
dent. Mr.. wadsworth, Mr.. Hilles and
other leaders thought the same way,
with the result that for the first time
since the delegates arrived there is
prospect of harmonious action, at
least for one vote.
Not all the delegates will obey the
order. from the present outlook, but
enough are expected to follow Mr..
Wadsworth's leadership to make II
evident that New York Is faidlyupited
BY Thursday afternoon, when ballot.
ing for candidates Is expected to be-
gin, IT may be that the entire dele
cation of eighty-eight will line up
for Butler and give him a unanimous
vote.
A few recalcitrants continue to holI
out, but DIR. Butler Is assured of
ninety per cent. of the delegation.
and this widd satisfy him. In asking
that he receive a substantial vote
from the delegates. from his own
state, Dr. Butler, as he has said. is
not solely concerned with his own
success.
While he believes that II the New
York delegation stands behind him
his nomination Is assured, he also
takes the view tha New York by
showing a united front will place
itself in the position OF being the
deciding factor in the selection OF
the Presidential candidate, even II he
himself is eliminated

The first one to be seated in a dele.
gates chair was a woman. Tho pre-
dominating color in the audience was
green. Tho women delegates who
had previously appeared in all the
colors of the rainbow selected bronze
and blues and black for their debut
II didn't improve their appearance
and detracted from the picturesque
ness OF the scene. One woman dele
gate wore a refreshing white dress,
and another a peach-colored hat.
Mems Dress Moro Varied
Three men among the delegates
appeared in tan suits; they were late.
Some men wore soft collars and silk
shirts; the majority wore the stiff
collar. One delegate, with a grey
beard. made "A regular Indian chief
head dress, with a red, blue and green
feather stuck in the band OF his
dusty derby hat. One man wore a
white collar and a white\ dress suit,

short checktail coat. Otherwise con-
vention hall lacked originality and

Girls band Plays Outside.
The hall looked as 1t alwaps does,
draped with uncountable American
hags. The band, as usual. was sus-
pended In it's small wooden nest,
which hangs Just below the caves.

posed of girls played on the outside.

The electric lights were burning,
though II was bright and sunshiny:
the hall was splendidiy ventilated.
One was neither too hot nor too cold.
Tho only flowers, with the excep-
tion OF a half dozen boutonniers, was
bunch OF American Beauty roses on
the chairman's desk. On the chair
mans platform were invited guests.
There was no sign of equality; 90 per
cent were men.

occupied the next platform. They
were as usual quiet. busy. extraordi-

before the storm. Anyway, there
didn't seem to be any pep" in them.
The women inside were quiet in
manner and subdued in clothes. On
the pavements, along the entrances,
were the militants. They were dressed
in white, were hatless, and carried
large banners bearing unanswerable
questions.
A little farther down on the same
pavement were dark-clad women
bearing banners, demanding TO know
why we allow to remain in Jail mar
tyrs of their own volition.
The convention opened by the band
playing the national hymns. The
national chairman, VIII Hays, walked
down the platform. and, standing un-
der the sound amplifying dome, began
to speak. He wore a cutaway coat
and his trousers had well-pressed
crease in front. He smiled without
good humor. It looked as IL the
whole thing were a joke and we were
there for n jolly good time. Politics
certainly does need a joke when one
gets real close to it.
The convention opened by prayer.
The prayer was read. A copy of II

The surprise OF the proceedings fol

man darted out upon the platform,
and, waving his hands frantically In

enraged monkey, cried out for three
cheers, which he endeavored to wiring

his fantastically swinging arms. And,

Senator Flint, after the gathering.
said that nothing was discussed at

credentials committee others par
ticipating, however, said that the
gathering probably would be called
ngain and extended to take in other
Western States.
