NEW YORK, June 24.-SensationaI
rumors Of the mysterious disappear
ance of tickets to the Democratic ma
tionai convention. and reports that
various candidates had been favored
in the distribution of the much
sought-for cards Of admission, few
thick and fast today and were EN-
phatically refuted by j. Bruce Kre-
mer of Montana, vice chairman OF
the national committee and chairman
OF the committee on tickets.
Taking refuge behind locked doors
from the crowds which stormed in
the corridors in a last belated effort
to obtain admission to the opening
session of the convention. Mr. kremer
denounced the reports OF the irregu-
larities in the distribution of tickets
as ridiculous, silly and Withou
foundation"
Each Delegate Provided.
AT the headquarters of all the state
delegations there was an Unsuitable
demand for tickets, and in many in
stances state chairmen were explain
ing their inability TO meet the de
mand by remarks which have been
interpreted as reflections upon the

charge OF the distribution Each del
egate and each alternate has been
provided for, but the trouble came
from the visitors who have accom-
panied the delegations in an unoffi-
cial capacity.
Charges that different presidential
candidates had been unduly favored
in the distribution were vehe mently
denied by Chairman kremer. who as
serted that the plan adopted by the
national committee had been faith
fully carried out. Mr.. kremer de-
clared that he was prepared to SHOW
receipts for the tickets to Support
his declaration.
Strongest Demand Recorded.
Never before in the memory Of
some of the oldest convention at
tenders has the demand for tickets
been greater. In defending himself
against the loudly-voiced complaints
from those frantically attempting to
get a seat in the convention hal!
Chairman kremer stated that he was
confronted with the impossible task
of getting 10000 or 10000 persons in
space provided for $4,000.
State chairmen are attempting to

showered upon them by unfortunate
members of their parties who have
been unable to obtain tickets by dis

CONVENTION SIDELIGHTS

Last night. Wheeler. Director Haynes

given UP their rooms, and have gone
out of town, returning each morning
to mix in the fracas.
