 CITY CONVENTION
Continued From First Page.)
McCarthy,s Proposal

At this Juncture, Chairman E. A, Mccarthy of the board of assessors proposed an amendment to have Paonessa alone pick the state dele gation and Hailoran the congressional. While he assured the gathering that he appreciated the responsibility of such a task MT. Halloran felt 1t was for the convention to name its delegates He favored acceptance of Mr. Callahan's proposal. Mir Halloran's views were shared by James T. Connor, who felt that the delegates were big enough to pick representatives to the several conven- tions.
 An amendment to the amendment was offered by s. L. Hinchliffe to have the delegates picked from the floor. Amendments Defeated
 The two amendments were lost and before the original question was put, Lawyer Dunn asked the privilege of the floor.
 He then amended to have each ward given at least two delegates, failing to specify those conventions at which there are a sufficient number of delegates to allow of this number. James J. Coyle thought the sixth ward, having by far the greatest num- Der of dem ocratic voters should have the most delegates. He wanted two delegates from each of the first five wards and six from the sixth ward. Thomas J. Smith warned the gather ing that the sixth ward would not be satisfied with the usual representation since 1t was entitled to more. He re- minded that victory was within grasp and asked the delegates to do nothing that would impair the party's chances
 McKema's Plan
 MT. McKenna proposed two dele gates from each of the first four wards, three from the fifth, four from the sixth and one to be elected at large, this for the state, county and congressional conventions Lawyer P. r. McDonough spoke in favor of this apportionment and on motion of J. M Halloran, motion to that effect was carried.
 Chairman Mangan then made an nouncement of the following commit tee: First ward, James O'Brien and I J. Hinchlffe and James J. Coyle; third ward, Charles Cleveland and Joseph M Halloran: fourth ward. John l.. Ross and Charles J. Burns: fifth ward, Edward A. Mccarthy and James D. McKenna; sixth ward, A. M. Paones- sa and s. A. Lynch.
 Fifth Ward Objects
 Objection was voiced on the part of fifth ward members to the appoint ment of Mccarthy as representative of their ward since he was holding proxy and is a resident of the third ward. At the suggestion of MT. Hal loran the protest was vacated.
 The committee retired to an ante room where Councilman Stephen A. Lynch of the sixth ward was elected chairman and Edward A. Mccarthy was named secretary. After being out more than half an hour the com mittee returned to the room Scan ming the faces of the avowed Paones- sa men, one could sense the approach ing storm. When the meeting was called to order Chairman Lynch call ed upon the secretary to read the nominations for delegates. MT. Me Carthy submitted the following re- port:
