MAE MURRAY IS
SILENT ON HEIR
Actress Angry Over Husbands
Announcement of Their
Child, Avoids Reporters

Beverly Hills, Calf, June 27.-
(AP)-Mae Murray, motion picture
and vaudeville actress. declined yes
terday to give any information con-
cerning the recently announced ad-
dition to her family-a boy now
more than a year old.
Miss Nurray's husband, Prince
David M'Divini, anno. iced the birth
of the child only a few days ago
while the actress was in New York.
He explained that the news Of the
birth had been suppressed because
of the possibility that it might af-
feet Miss Murray's career.
"All my life I've lived like .
goldfish in a glass bowl, and I'm
getting good and tired Of it." sput-
tered the actress on her arrival from
the east. She was greeted bv bevy
of newspapermen and cameramen
eager for additional news and for
pictures of her child.
M'Divini made it plain that no
pictures would be taken Of the child
II he and his wife could prevent it.
Miss Murray, who was taken from
her homeward- bound train BY her
husband at Barstow, 100 miles east
of Los Angeles, appeared consider
ably upset at the announcement Of
her motherhood. She refused to re-
veal the baby's name. birthplace, or
anything else concerning it, and hur-
ried away for = rehearsal Of . new

Sam Houston Hall, Houston. Tex.
June 27.-(AP)-Its candidate ali
but chosen and its major dispute
over prohibition sidetracked in COM
mittee, the Democratic national con-
vention turned itself over again to-
day to the sweeping spirit Of party
revivalism which was loosed last
night by the convention keynoter.
A short, hot morning session,
under sky that was threatening q
downpour, had no business before it
but oratory, music, and a few de-
tails of convention organization.
Party managers planned to 20 on at
a night session with more speech
making-possibly including the ora
torical flourish placing presidential
candidates in formal nomination.
Joe" Robinson Of Arkansas, the,
conventions permanent chairman
and at the moment the party's OUT
standing vice presidential possibility,
had the chief role in the morning
session. According to custom he had
prepared as his inaugural to the
chair a second party keynote
crammed with Democratic gospel.
A delegate contest from Louisiana
furnished the high point Of the
purely formal part Of the morning
proceedings. Everyone agreed in
advance that the Smith majority
could smother the challenge that had
been made against the right of Col.
Robert Ewing and his fellow Louisi-
anans to sit in the convention, but
his political opponents in the state
insisted on making their fight.
Platform Men Work
The platform committee was at
work hearing the conflicting views
Of vets and drys, and, seeking .
compromise, committeeman were
doubtful whether the platform would
be ready in time for consideration
at night session.
Nearly an hour before the time
set for converting the morning ses-
sion another touch Of the revival

Houston, June 27.1(AP)-While
the Democratic sitting Of men and
issues went on toward decision
today in committee room and eau
Gus, the national convention turned
again to that great American politi-
cal pastime Of stump speaking to
fill up with partisan fervor its Sec
ond daylight session.
This time the center of the speak
ing stage, held for colorful hour
last night by the convention key
noter, was assigned to Robinson of
Arkansas, long a Democratic stall
wart, leader of his party in the SEN
ate, and out in front among the can
didates for second place on the party
ticket. His installation as perma-
nent> chairman Of the big quadren-
MEL pow-wow furnished the occasion
for a preaching of the Democratic
gospel with the embellishment Of
that pungent phraseology and COM
manding gesture of which he is
master.
Both delegates and spectators
cheered to the echo a rousing Demo
cratic assault on Republicanism and
all its works, delivered by the tenn
porary chairman and keynoter
Claude G. Bowers Of New York
Twice he stirred his hearers to
crashes Of noisy approval that
ranked almost as demonstrations
once when he praised Woodrow Will
son, and again when he demanded
that the hand Of Republican op.
preston be removed from the throat
Of the farmer.

beginning of the first ballot"
Only two or three nays were
heard on the viva voce vote by
which the motion was approved
and this was taken by leaders of
the delegation to indicate that
at least A. of the 48 votes would
be cast for Smith.
The motion commits the
chairman to cast the entire
vote for Pomerene on the first
ballot, but authorizes him to
shift before the roll call is con-
cluded as he sees fit. AS agreed
upon. he will cast the entire
state vote for Smith when the
shift is made except when d.

ALL N. w. STATES JOIN
NJ. M. OPPEGARD

(ASsOc1ated FreSS Staff Wrlter)
Houston, June 27.-Northwestern
delegations today took advantage of
the impression they made last night
when they were the first to precipi-
tate the Democratic convention into
. spectacular demonstration, by
urging a strong agricultural plank
in the party platform.
It was during the keynote speech
by Claude Bowers that the demon
station was started by the North
Dakota delegation when the spokes-
man said I'VE do demand that the
hand Of privilege shall be taken out
OF the farmers pocket and off the
farmers throat"
At this statement DR.. w. H. Port
er Of Calvin, chairman Of the North
Dakota delegation, started the pro-
cession which included not only the
northwestern states Of Minnesota
and South Dakota and the corn belt
states but all the state delegations.
The demonstration, the noisiest since
the opening Of the convention, con-
tinued for about 20 minutes.
Minnesota delegates were quick in
rallying around their standard and
took up the march with South Dako-
Ia behind the flickertails.
Although expressing general sat
isfaction with the keynote talk, Min
nesota South and North Dakota DEL
egations realized that it is up to the
resolutions committee to frame the
platform and to insert the farm re.
lief plank, which they hope will con.
tain q pledge of legislation "for full
equality for the farmer"
Present United Front
The interest Of the three delega.
tions centered principally upon farm
relief and it was evident that they
were determined to present q united
front in urging q strong agricultural
plank.
Unless the resolutions COMMITTEES
includes q plank satisfactory to the
South Dakota delegations it is prob
able that the members will seek q
minority report. It is also under.
stood that Governor Bulow will "a
before the resolutions committee OF
the agricultural subcommittee some
time late today, providing the COM
mittee consents.
P. w. Lanier Of jamestown, N. D.,
and member of the resolutions COM

It also became evident last night
that Governor Bulow. mentioned az

make no effort to have his name
placed before the convention and the
other South Dakota delegates will
join no move to have him drafted" /"
