Convention Opened And After Prayers
 Recess Was Taken

phers.
 Walsh again pounded for order. He called upon Rev Duncan Hodge Brown, St James Episcopal cathc- dral. Chicago. for the opening praper.
 Rev Brown was obliged to wait for some moments for quiet.
 He prayed that the assembiage be saved from ''discord and con- fusion."
 He asked a blessing for the dele gates, pleaded that a spirit of wisdom" guide the convention and that 1t avoid the dangers of feuds and factions. The air was full of various schemes. There was talk of trades by the Roosevelt faction which was immediately repudiated. Likewise there were numerous schemes afoot to unite opposing forces. Convention delegates were be- ginning to grow restless over the prospect of a prolonged conven ton. In an effort to clean up the work by tomorrow night as origin ally scheduled, there was talk of running to-day's session on through the evening. Delegates, most of whom must pay their own expenses. are finding that the leading Chicago hotels have not heard of the depression and that 1929 prices are prevail ing.
 Another influence working to bring a prompt end to the conven- ton is the general realization that q prolonged deadlock would harm party prospects.
 At 1925 Walsh mounted the speakers stand. He had just talked by telephone with Chairman Hitch cock of the platform committee, who suggested a recess until 2 ] p. m. which time he hoped 10 have the platform draft ready to be presented to the convention.
 Taking advantage of the rising talk for Governor Ritchie of Nary land. his delegates arrived at the stadium with bundles of Maryland state flags. Miss Lavinia Engle, a delegate-at large, stood on a chair and waved the Maryland flags while photographers gathered a. round.
 The Ritchie candidacy drew big cheer when the Organist played My | Maryland" and dozens of the Mary
 land state flags were waved. Immediately thereafter the or ganist swung into the sidewalks of New York" and the RitchIe cheers were quickly swung into cheers for Al"
 At 12:48 Permanent Chairman Walsh called the convention to order.
 Walsh declared the convention in recess until D. m. but called up- on Mrs Naomi Carol Haimgohn of Tennessee to entertain the dele. gates with a song. Walsh said that Chairman Hitch- cock of the platform committee had asked that the convention be informed the platform report would be ready at 2 D. m. As it was then p. m. Walsh formally declared recess but planned to keep the delegates in the hall by music and possibly an informal speech by some party leader later.
