order. until adjournment time, the aver
age looker-on might have imagined that
1t was all over but the shouting. Not
lung let loose with any wild scream Tor
a favorite not a voice was raised in pro-
test to any set plan for the preliminaries,
and all joined in shouting approval at

read the formal call for the meeting.

laughter at the acrobatic antics OF a
song leader as he followed Chairman
Hays to the tongue of the platform TO
lead the singing and cheers.
There was a roar of approval from the
delegates when Chairman Hays declared
that the republican party had met in
free an dopen convention ito accept from
the people a mandate for the govern
rnent OF the United States. \ second out
hurst came moment later when he
shouted There will be no bolt in this

May Impose Inspection Of
Imported Southern Fruit

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA public
hearing will be held Dec. 20 by the
federal horticultural board to consider
the advisability of placing a quaran-
tine on fruit and vegetables from Cuba,
the Bahamas, Jamaica, Canal Zone,
Costa RIGA, India, the Philippines, Cey-
lon and Java in an effort to prevent
the spread of the citrus black fly to
the United States.
Any restrictions that may be placed
on the movement of fruits and vege-
tables from those countries to the
United States would not necessarily
be an embargo, said an announcement
today by the department of agricul-
ture, as provision probably would be
made for the entry of these products
at designated ports, where inspection
would be held to determine whether
disinfecting was necessary.
Cleansing of all railway cars and
other means of transport from Cuba
also will be considered at the hearing
