The fine rendition Of the C"opin nocturne in F. fiat and the meditation from "Thais' were especially applauded.
 The eating in the open was an important part Of the outing. the meat being barbecued over an open fire, and such, keen appetites were rarely met with. This function over, it was around g ?. m. and the dance music started over the radio until 1 ?. r., which yielded much terpsi- chorean delight.

The riot started when Barnard de- clared that in presenting Oscar A. Riopelle, defeated caididate for lieutenant governor, Haggerty was violating the state law concerning the conduct of county conventions. Friends of Haggerty attempted to pull Barnard down, but Barnard and his men stormed the platform and deposed the Haggerty supporters. Fighting became general between Barnard adherents and Haggerty men, and a riot call was sent in for police. The officers seized Barnard and two of his allies, but were over come by Barnard men. Meanwhile the group headed by Haggerty was leaving for its own convention.
 Quiet was restored in the original hall and the Barnard group of state delegates nominated.
 When Barnard was told another convention was in progress he said that it was not authorized.
 The probable fate of the two groups of state delegates is a topic for speculation. One suggestion was that the rest of the convention might, as has been done before in similar circumstances refuse 10 seat either delegation.

FINDS GRAFT CAN
 UNWIND RED TAPE
Buckner Completes Evidence in
 Daugherty- Probe

Someryille, N. J., Sept. 22 R)- Testimony in the trial of Harry NJ. Daugherty and Thomas w. Miller shows that red tape may be un- wound with speed under the influ- ence of a hypodermic injection of graft, in the opinion of Federal At torney Emory R. Buckner.
 The government today had com pleted the background of it's case against the two former officials of the Harding administration, charged with sharing in s441,O00 bribe. The prosecution had before it the task of connecting them with a fee" of that amount paid to the late John T., King for expediting a s7,000,000 claim against the alien property custodian's department.
 Richard Merton, German copper magnate, testified early in the trial that he had paid the fee to the late republican national committeeman from Connecticut for pushing claim of Swiss holding corpora tion for seized German owned stock.
 MT. Buckner had drawn from sev- eral witnesses testimony attacking the validity of the claim, and tend ing to prove unusual speed in ap- proval of the claim, but when court closed yesterday he had produced no testimony connecting the defcnd- ants with the fee.
 The Swiss claim for the value of stocks alleged to have been trans ferred to the neutrally incorporated Societe Suisse Pour Valeurs Des Metaux by an "oral agreement" six days before the United States enter ed the World War was audited and approved within three days, wit nesses have testified.
 Yesterday MT. Buckner produced an exhibit showing that the Stand ard Oil company of New Jersey had | 10 wait 5S4 days for approval of a S4,4S1,000 claim while Miller was custodian. Five other companies | named had to wait shorter periods, | but the shortest was 26 days
 When defense counsel objected to | the exhibit, Mir. Buckner remarked i on the 'hypodermic injection of ! graft" and Federal Judge Julian W. Mack overruled the objection.
 Mir. Buckner said he would begin offering physical proof" today that Daugherty as attorney general, and | Miller as custodian, received a share of the S441,o0o paid to King for expediting the Merton claim.
