SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. - The Democratic national convention wound up it's preliminaries today and prepared to get down to business to- morrow.
 With administration forces contin- uing in apparently complete control, its organization, accepted Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas as it's permanent chairman, permitted states to upset the unit rule, provided for taking women on the Democratic nat ional committee and prepared for the business of having candidates nomi- mated by adopting an order of business which will permit the delivery of nominating speeches before the plat form is brought in.
 Balloting for a nominee, however, will not be permitted before the plat form has been adopted by the convert tion.
 With the slate thus cleared of pre- liminaries and arguments set for the principal address, the convention. af- ter three-hour session, adjourned to resume at II o'clock tomorrow.
 What the second session lacked in the dramatic fire of the opening day it made up in the smoothly working control which administration forces exercised. Anti-Wilson contests such as that of Senator Reed of Missouri for a place on the floor were swept away with ruthless but good natured haste
