GUEST IS SLAIN
AT WEDDING

NEW ORLEANS, La, June 27
G.N.S0.-Amid an exchange of
fierce words over an affair of
honor" death stalked into a gay
wedding celebration last night and,
when police arrived, they found
guest Slumped dead on the floor,
with a broken neck.
The victim was Summers Car
penter, 81, and, another guest,
James Percy, q, was charged with
manslaughter in connection with
the Staying. Both were attending
a reception at the swank Orleans
Club following the marriage of
Miss Ruth Sullivan, New orleans
society girl, to DR.. Willoughby Kilt
redge.
Spirits were high and liquor
flowed freely, police said, when
the tragedy fell on the happy COM
pany. The music of the dance
suddenly was broken by the harsh
sound Of blows. Two men stood
fighting. One said his honor had
been slurred, and then Carpenter
lay sprawled lifeless on the floor,
his neck broken. Percy, according
to the police charges, struck Car
penter and knocked him down
when Carpenter allegedly made an
insulting remark.

At the request of the White

This procedure was decided upon
to avoid any delay in getting the

It is planned to have him com

Flying Ruled Out
1t will be the second time Mr..
Roosevelt has gone directly to a
convention which nominated him
for the Presidency. He flew to
the Democratic National Conven'
tion in Chicago in 1882 to deliver
his speech of acceptance. That
was before he was President. Fly
ing is ruled out while he maintains
that high office.
Meanwhile, the President spent
the day putting the finishing
touches to the speech in which he
expected to make bid for the
sympathy of the masses. The
indications still were that the
speech would be considerably cleft
of center" aimed at securing the
support of organized labor and
the farmer.
The President was improving on
q rough draft of his speech which,
he confessed to reporters, he was
not satisfied with at the time he
originally drafted it.
President All Smiles
He hopes to keep it short, within
1000 words, but he jokingly re-
marked that one never knows how
far he will go when he commences
to write a speech.
Visibly delighted with the
smooth running of the convention,
the President was in the best of
spirits as he prepared to leave.
He was all smiles in his conference
with the newspaper men.
After his speech at Philadel-
phia the President will leave for
Hyde Park to spend the weekend,
returning here Monday night.
Over the radio last night he
heard his old friend, Governor
Herbert Lehman of New York,
bitterly aSsail those who would
remove him from the Presidency
and listened to the wild tribute
paid the governor by the con-
Vention.

Convention Tonight

ried by a mighty chorus Of "ayes"
and not a single no"
Thus for the first time in 48
years the rules for a roll call
we're set aside in a Democratic
convention.
Lehman Wildly Cheered
One of the most spectacular
features of a spectacular session
was the reception accorded Gov
ernor Herbert Lehman of New
York as he arose to deliver the
thirty-fifth seconding speech of
the night. The New York execu-
tive evoked a demonstration from
the entire convention, with cheer
ing parades and banners pro-
claiming:
1--WE Want Lehman" "Leh-
man Must Run Again" "Leh-
man BY 100000"
The convention was plainly
hopeful that the Governor would
make use of the occasion to an
nounce that he had reconsidered
his refusal to seek reelection as
Governor OF New York, but it
was doomed to disappointment.
The Governor made no mention
of himself.
Governor Lehman, in his Sec
onding speech, charged that the
Republicans if allowed to regain
power would "Scrap much of the
social legislation that has come
to us through the humanity and
vision of our great President"
Governor Landon and Al Smith

PHILADEL LPHIA, June 27
GN.S0. esh from an un-
precedented draft demonstration
by the Democratic national con-
vention, an ovation joined by
every State in the Union, Cover
nor Herbert H. Lehman Of New
York tonight will receive a per
sonal plea from President Roose-
velt that he run for third term.
Immediately after Roosevelt is
notified of his nomination to-
night at Franklin Field, the Gov
ernor will board the presidential
special train and ride to Hyde
Park with the President.
Before he leaves the Roosevelt
home tomorrow, Lehman is ex-
pected to have said yes or no to
the argument that his candidacy
will be of vital assistance in the
Presidents attempt to capture
New York's Al electoral votes.
The governor will leave Hyde
Park tomorrow afternoon for his
White Plains home and return to
Albany Monday, at which time he
may make formal announcement
of his plans for the future.
The New York delegation to
the national convention adopted
statement presented today by
Herbert Bayard Swope imploring
Governor Lehman to run for re-
election. The statement reaf.
firmed the delegations convic-
ton in Governor Lehman's ability
and vote-getting power and con-
cluded with the appeal that I'VE
have not failed you; do not, we
ask, fail U.s."
Should he run again, as Demo
cratic leaders believe he will,
Governor Lehman already has out
lined his issues for the fall cam

puhlicans, both in State and ma
tion, are determined, if successful
at the polls, to "discredit, tear
down and block the great move
ment for social benefit" He said
Il am convinced that the at
tack on the entire program for
social betterment extends not
only to the Federal Government,
but to the States themselves.
Il have, in my own State,
seen the most cruel, the most
arrogant attempt on the part
of Republican leadership to
sabotage Federal and State So
cial and labor legislation. And
yet, these same men dare to
claim that they are concerned

Roosevelt and Vice President Gar.
ner were promised a turnout "aS
is one" tonight when they step
before the Democratic convention
in Franklin Field and accept their
party's standard for second term.
One of the greatest crowds ever
assembled in Philadelphia at a
given point was in prospect for the
wind-up of this weeks proceed
ings. Civic pride and the desire OF
Democratic leaders to stage a
rousing finale to their convention
had combined to map a most am
bilious program for the Roosevelt
Garner notification ceremonies.
Nearly 100000 Expected
Twenty-Five hundred Democratic
delegates and alternateS who had
cheered themselves hoarse over a
five-day period at the drop OF a
hat were waiting to put on a DEM
onstration tonight that would pale
earlier ones into insignificance.
Nearly 100000 PhiladelphianS
and convention visitors were hop
ing to join in the festivities. About
$4,000 of them were going to find
seats, as many more as can be
iammed into the big University Of
PENNSYLVANIA stadium were to be
given standing room and the rest
were expected to present police
with a fine traffic problem while
they fight to get near enough to
hear the loud speakers outside.
Between the local committee
and Democratic headquarters far
more tickets had been passed out
for the notification ceremonies
than there are seats or standing
room in Franklin Field.
First Come, First Served
Everything tonight is going to
be on first-come-first7served basis.
The gates of the stadium will be
thrown open at p. m, E. S. T.,
and closed when the field is full.
To lure the crowd early and hold
them, stage, radio and band en-
tertainment will start at 6 o'clock
although it will be after 9 be-
fore the ceremonies actually get
under way.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt
will arrive from Washington just
before time to go to Franklin
Field. Vice President Garner, al
ready here, will meet them and
escort them out.

tonight's big show in Franklin
Field.
Postmaster General Farley said
they would hold the ceremonies
there if they possibly could, but
that no final decision had been
reached. It may be necessary for
President Roosevelt and Vice Pres
ident Garner to appear here in
the Convention Hall, disappoint-
ing over 100000 ticket-holders.
Alfred touched off the demon
Stration at 12:39.
The applause meter, which
broke yesterday under the strain
of the one-hour Roosevelt ovation,
had disappeared, which was just
as we'll.
Texas Leads March
Most of the delegates remained
standing in their seats. Texas led
those who did march, each
marcher carrying a banner with
a picture of Garner.
The convention cheered mildly
as Alfred prefaced the naming of
Garner by extolling the benefits
Of the three long years" Of Demo
cratic administration. Everybody
appeared to be all in from the
weeks proceedings.
Texas rose and waved its ban
ners when Garner was referred to
as the greatest Vice President in
history.
The Texans we're wearing 10,
gallon hats and carrying their six
flags.
Senator Tom Connolly, cigar in
mouth and attired in a white
suit, moved slowly about with the
parade, carrying a Garner banner.
At 1881 Chairman Robinson
raped the convention to order
task for once, not difficult to
do-and Senator OMahoney of
Wyoming took the platform to
make the first of the seconding
speeches..
Second Brief
O'Mahoney was brief. He was
followed by Senator James Byrnes
of South Carolina, who also was
brief.
Judge John Carew of New York
was number three.

said he admitted firing the shots.

Kennedy, of Pennsylvania, who
also is secretary-treaSurer OF the
United Mine workers, added the
Keystone States Endorsement of
Cactus Jack.
Representative Fred VinSon
spoke for Kentucky and Senator
Bennett Clark, of Missouri, also
seconded the nomination. Clark
said:
Garner has written his
name high in the ranks of the
great Speakers of the House of
Representatives and the Great
Vice Presidents of the United
States. His political ability is
unrivaled."
Thelma Parkinson, State Tax
Commissioner of New Jersey, an
attractive blonde, was the next to
extoll the Vice President and Sec
ond his nomination.
Miss Parkinson reminded the
convention that it was under the
RooSevelt-Garner administration
that women were first given high
political recognition. She was re-
ferring to the appointment of
Frances Perkins as Secretary of
Labor.
Emil Hura, Farley's assistant on
the national committee and dele
gate from Michigan, followed the
lady from New Jersey.
Hope for Hot Reply
Apparently a good many dele
gates decided to cut this conclud-
ing session and save up their lung
power for tonight's show in
Franklin Field, where they hope
Mr.. Roosevelt is going to reply to
AL Smiths appeal to the conven-
ton to put aside Franklin D.
Roosevelt and nominate a gen.
uine Democrat"
There is a good deal of Specu-
lation as to just what Mr.. RooSe.
velt will have to say concerning
Mr. Smith, if anything. BY COM
mon consent the speakers in this
convention have laid off" AL,
leaving the task of answering to
Mr.. Roosevelt himself.
If he doesn't reply directly to-
night, there will be many diSap-
pointed Democrats in Philadel-
phia.
Mr.. Roosevelt's denomination
took place at 1912 a. m, after
more than eight and a half hours
of impassioned oratory.
The orators included II govern
ors, eight Senators, one Senator
elect, eight women, a Cabinet Off
Ger and the governor general OF
the Philippine Islands.
Roll Call Waived
Senator Joseph T. Robinson's
announcement that the President
had been chosen by acclamation
thus beating Cleveland
set off a demonstration, the like
of which has seldom, if ever been
seen in the United States.
After the last Seconding speech
had been delivered by Joseph
Alexander, of the Virgin Islands.
Senator Robinson arose to call
the roll. But a thunderous roar
welled up from the convention
floor and countless serpentine par
AIDES moved through the milling
throngs; banners waved and
bands blared forth raucous mel
ody.
In the midst of the turmoil Gov
ernor Tom Berry of South Dakota
came to the platform, was recog-
nized by the chair and quickly in.
troduced a motion to set aside the
rules and renominate the PreSi-
dent without any roll call. The
