POLICE HARD PUSHED
TO CONTROL CROWDS
Men and Women Fight to Get Into
Convention Hall--Few Win

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOUSTON. June 29--Men and wo-
men fought like beasts last night to
get into Sam Houston Hall to watch the
Democratic national convention adopt
platform and nominate presidential
candidate
Mounted policemen were forced to pile
into the mob to keep any semblance Of
order. Others guarded the heavy wire
fence surrounding the hall TO keep it
from falling before the pushing, jost-
ling throng seeking a thrill.
Occasionally the crowd became too
great for the officers and few persons
would slip through the gates before the
others were herded back. Policemen
at various gates called for additional
help. Delegates who arrived late had
difficulty gaining recognition in the lam.
When they finally did get through, they
we're disheveled, perspiring and in a
bad humor
The gate reserved for the admttance
of delegates and alternates attracted the
crowd only after it had failed to make
much Roadway at the other entrances.
The police, caught unaWares, had a diff
ficult time for bit, but finally regained
control.
Several near fights occurred in the
midst of the crowd. but CombatantS were
not kept together long enough to engage
in actual physical encounter. Despite
the crush, no casualties were reported.

SUPERIOR, Wis. June 29.--President
Coolidge this morning had no cCm-
ment to make upon the nomination of
Gov Smith, or the scathing attack upon
the Republican administration carried
in the platform adopted by the Demo-
cratic national convention.
He seemed to be not in the least
concerned. and from all outward APP
pearances the Democrats may just as
we'll have been holding an annual
picnic or shadbake, instead of printing
their guns to capture control Of the
presidency and Congress, for all he
cared He did not remain up beyond
his customary hour for retiring last
night to hear the outcome Of the ballot
ing In Houston, and it was not until
this morning that he learned Of Smiths
victory on the first ballot,
Business Awaiting Him.
Mr.. Coolidge appeared to be inter-
eSted in the pile Of business awaiting
him when he reached his desk in the
executive Office here today. This was
the first morning he has come to his
office since coming to Wisconsin, and

until noon. when he declared himself

has become since arriving on the Brute
River.
1t was plain to be seen that Mr. Cool
idge was rot unmindful of this CALL or
immune to its allurement. Quite often,
while trying to fix his full attention
on the work before him, he looked of
at the bright sunny view through his
window, and each time there was a

During his stay at the Office the Presi-
dent received his first official callers OF
