 Besides the reporters among in the executive mansion were Ma jor John A, Warner, superintendent of the state troopers and the goNer- nors son-in-l law, and Mrs. Warner, the former Emily smith; George B.

 After the convention adjourned the governor posed for photographs with his daughter and son-in-law, and his Great Dane. Jefferson, which despite his name, had shown Com- plctc indifference to the democratic oratory.
 The governor accepted three gifts yesterday. a brown derby, a bunch h of four leaf clovers. and a string of l3 trout from an admirer in Monti- cello.

 The bunch of four leafed clovers was presented by a woman state em- ploye and the governor was very evil dently pleased with it and its impli- cation of good luck: so much so in- deed that he seemed to see nothing to worry about in the fact that the unlucky number 13 figured in the present of brook trout.

 The governor spent the opening day Of the convention hard at work on state business and when the leaders of his party opened the ses- sion at Houston he was so engrossed at a meeting of the state building sites commission that he rose and closed the door of the meeting room 10 shut out the noise of a radio in his outer office which was reporting the convention doings.
 In late afternoon he broke away for short game of golf and then went to the executive mansion for dinned prior to tuning in on the conventions first night session.
