to run again for governor Of New

AS the governor Of New York,

1t was a nice gesture on the part
of the Roosevelt managers to ar

place in the spotlight Of the con-

Before the actual nomination,
the delegates were faced with a
deluge of oratory such as few con-

'Mardi Gras' Accident
Coincident to Riot
at Convention
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN


PHILADELPHIA, June 26
U.NS0.-Near rioting at the
Democratic national convention
during an AL Smith demonstration
and a grandStand collapse while
a parade was in progress in the
streets of flag-bedecked Phila-
delphia combined to create fu-
rore of talk among delegates to-
day, on the eve of the renomina-
ton of President Roosevelt.
At least 20 persons participated
in the melee in convention hall
which was finally broken up by
the police. No arrests were made.
but the officers rounded up a dozen
demonstrators and "eaSed" them
out of the auditorium.
Attorney General Charles J.
Margiotti, of Pennsylvania,
charged the disturbance was pro-
voked by Republican hoodlums,"
and assigned three of his deputies
to make AZ investigation.
rs to 50 Hurt
Between Is and so persons were
injured, two seriously, in the grand
stand collapse which occurred
while a "Madri Gras" parade was
in progress last night. Ambu-
lances from half a dozen hospitals
were rushed to the scene.
Thousands of persons were con-
gregated in the streets. The acci-
dent happened while the conven-
ton was in session and during one
of the worst traffic SnarlS in the
city'S history.
The disturbance at Convention
Hall broke out in Gallery A." to
the right of the speakers platform,
when banners reading I'VE want
AL Smith" were suddenly Haunted
by a group of young men.
BooS and Kisses arose from
among the $4,000 men and women
seated in the big auditorium. Sen
ator Joseph r. Robinson, perma-
nent chairman, raped his gavel
for order but the demonstration
proceeded.
Fists and Cane Fly
Several persons started toward
the "Al Smith group" One was
quickly floored by a cane in the
hands OF one Of the demonStra-
tors. He was carried out. Among
those who charged at the demon
StratorS was Joseph Marinelh, q
deputy attorney general.
Fists flew. The banners were
torn from the demonstrators.
One of the Roosevelt men, was
sent flying over the tops of seats
by a well-delivered blow. Photog-
rapherS rushed to the scene.
Bluecoats converged on the swirl
ing mob and, seiZing about a
dozen Of them, hustled them
downstairs into the basement
whence they were removed from
the hall and released.
Republicans Blamed
Excitement prevailed mean
while in the hall. David L. Law
renee, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State committee, advanced
to the rostrum and made an ex-
PLANTATION to the delegates. He
said the Smith banner bearers
were "hoodlumS" from the Sec
ond ward in Philadelphia, that
they were Republicans, and had
plotted the disturbance.
Most of those injured in the
grandStand collapse during the
parade had fallen about IS feet.
Their cries brought a throng to
the scene, adding to difficulty of
rescue work. The accident occur
red at an intersection in the cen
ter of the city.
Automobiles and taxis were
blocked and moved at a snail'S
pace. Thousands of delegates
were an hour or more late reach
ing convention hall.
