Convention Hall, Albany. x. Y., oct 3.-UP)-The democratic state convention recessed to-day after hearing the keynote address of U. s. Senator Robert r. Wag- ner.
 It will reconvene at m.
 Convention Hall. State Armory, Albany, N. r.. Oct 3-CUP) -The American people will never again accept as gold the brass that was sold to them in 1928, U. $. Sena- tor Robert F. Wagner declared to- day in a keynote speech before the democratic state convention. He blamed President Hoover for eur rent economic ills and denounced the republican resubmission pro- hihition plank.
 The senator, seeking renomina- tion by the convention, drafted his speech along the line of attacks laid down by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic presiden- tial nominee, on his 5000 mile campaign tour in the west coast.
 The republican leadership, Wag- ner asserted, cannot be trusted with prohibition"
 "I challenge the republican leadership to draft the resolution which would meet the specifica- tions of their own platform" Con prohibtion), Wagner declared. "It cannot be done. The English language has not yet invented u formula so adroit that it can re- turn the liquor problem to ths states and keep it in the federal at one and the same time.'
 President Hoover, Wagner added apparently admits he does not yet know how to do it. In his ac- ceptance speech he declared that American statesmanship is cap- able of working out such q solu- tion.' I recall that in 1928 a was to work 1t out. In 1882 the task has been transfer red to American statesmanship. We know the results of the first and we can guess the fruits of the second"
 "The same cunning propaganda, which in 1928 sold Mir Hoover tn the American people as the chief of prosperity, has been again to persuade the voters that MT Hoover IS no more for the heart-rending

BY SANDOR $. KLEIN

New York, Oct 3.-tUP)-The trial of U. S. Senator James J. Da- wis of Pennsylvania accused of violating the federal lottery laws, ended to-day in q mistrial.
 The mistrial was declared after chief of defense counsel, Charles J. Margiotti had given Federal Judge Frank J. Coleman informal ton concerning one juror and an alternate juror.
 The juror, Henry J. Moore, a fraternal brother of Margiotti, told the defense counsel that the alter nate, Abe H. Weintraub, had made remarks to the jury in recess which were prejudicial to the defense.
 Weintraub vigorously denied the charge and other jury members denied hearing such remarks.
 Judge Coleman said the prepon- derance of testimony exonerated Weintraub.
 AS to Juror Seven, Mr Moore, find his conduct improper" the judge said. 'T find the motive not evil or mercenary. It was viola ton of my instructions to the jur- ors. It was 8 violation of prin- ciple that any ten-year-old boy could understand"
 f.s Court ~tiIen~ Id djoTned, the judge withholding decision on action against Moore until 1O:30 a. m. tomorrow to give you time to consult with counsel"
 Moore was placed in his own cus- tody until tomorrow.
 The trial was halted dramaticaI- ly at the opening of the third week of the hearing in which the politi- cal future of "Puddler Jim" Davis. dominant figure in the Loyal Or der of Moose and candidate for re- election to the senate, was at stake. Davis was given a separate hearing on the lottery charges to speed up his case and permit decision be- fore the election.
 Throughout the trial the govern ment had attempted to show that Davis knew of the Moose charity ball drawings and had contended these drawings were lotteries. The defense had attempted to show that Davis, entering politics several years ago had been out of touch with the affairs of the organization

 Lord Lytton's commission. ap- pointed to make an objective neu- tral investigation into China's perilous quarrel with Japan, failed to take seriously Japan's claim that the new state of Manchukuo was of Chinese origin. It sug- gested that China should curb too nationalism and had much to gain from economic col with her neighbor na- tion.

LEGISLATION ASKED
TO BETTER JURIES
Congress Urged to Take Action to
Improve Quality of Panels
Here.

Congress was urged to enact legisla-
tion at this session to improve the quail
ity of juries in the District of Column
bia and to avoid the difficulties which
result from the presence of ineligible
persons on the jury list, In letter from
Attorney General Mitchell to Chairman
Capper Of the Senate District Commit
tee yesterday.
The Attorney General inclosed the
draft Of a bill which he said was pre-
pared by the justices of the District
Supreme Court and q committee of THE
Bar Association. Mr.. Mitchell explained
that he was merely acting as their en-
voy in transmitting the bill, adding
that he Is not at liberty to sponsor IL or
urge its enactment, because 1t would
entail some additional expense and has
not been submitted to the Budget Bu-
reau. He stated, however, that the
subject Is one which needs the con-
s1defation OF Congress, and said:
L do urge that the Congress enact
some legislation at this session which
would improve the quality of persons
selected for jury service and avoid the
expense and trouble which results from
the presence of ineligible persons on
the fury list"
One Of the salient features of the pro-
posed bill Is that It would authorize the
jury commission to send ouestionnaires
to any one in the District, to be filled
out under oath, concerning the ouali-
f1cations OF the individual for Jury sery-
ice. The commission could also renIIire
persons to come before IL to be ex
amined as to their qualifications and
fitness to serve as Jurors.
