 The rules committee also sprang surprise during the night by vot- ing by a majority of one-25 to 24 ito switch the historic order of business and nominate the presl- dential and vice. presidential candi- dates before the platform Is adopt ed. This would bring the nomina- ton fight tomorrow instead Of Thursday.
 Roosevelt managers said they had not sought this. Others said 1t was an attempt by the Roose- welt forces to force the balloting a day earlier before their delegate strength dislntcgrated, or before delegates ran short of funds and started him. Another report was that it was part of a plan for Gov ernor Roosevelt to leave Albany as soon as he had been nominated and make a dash to Chicago to l A0QTeBS Lne uOIHOCIdtlS hAttoAAAA committee meeting the day after the convention adjourns.
 | The minority was indignant and declared 1t would move every power to beat the plan on the floor. l Leaders said no candidate could in honor accept a nomination until he knew on what platform he was ex- pected to stand, that the result of saich procedure would be to make consideration of the platform an anti-climax.

 How did you feel about all those women voting against you in your contest ?" he was asked.
 That Stella there cost me those votes, about eight of them" he said. "She went around saying wouldn't come before the sub com. mittee because it had too many skirts. It's lie. And" he added right there, "when I get back I'm going to settle few things with her"
 The Kingfish beamed, like boy who had just broke window hit- ting a home run. "Women are no judge of looks they've passed me up all my life" he accused.

 Chicago, Ill. June 2S--(UP)- Roosevelt forces won all contests before the credentials committee of the national democratic party early to-day when 1t recommended seating of the Louisiana delegation headed by Sen Huey Long and the Minnesota group led by Einar Hoi- dale, Minneapolis.
 This recommendation was in ac- cord with the temporary action of the national committee, but both contests are expected to be re.op- ened in a bitter fight on the floor of the convention.
 The committee took action in executive session which some meni- bers insisted was "an undemocrat- ic proceeding" The vote on seating the Louisiana senator's delegation was 34 to IT. The vote on the Minnesota delegation was j7 to 14.
 Albany, N. r., June 2s-(UP)-- Franklin D. Roosevelt declared emphatically to day that he did not take any personal action in the move of his supporters at Chicago in pushing through the rules com mittee a compromise which might permit nomination of presiden- tial candidate by a majority after the sixth ballot.
 "All I know about the move was what I read in the newspaper and I have not been officially informed of it," Roosevelt said. 4
 You can say, however" he con- tinued, 'that the compromise was not instituted at my suggestion. I had absolutely no hand in that rul. ing"
 Roosevelt declined to state whether he favored the action.

 Some of those pledged to favor- ite sons were wondering if it would not be possible to bring about q stampede and brush aside contend ing factions in favor of a candidate unbruised in the present battling.
 In this connection delegates talk ed frequently of Newton D. Baker of Ohio. Delegates this morning from Ohio were hoping to persuade Governor White to release them to Baker at the proper moment.
