DEMOCRATS WILL HOLD
CONVENTION IN CHICAGO

Washington. - The Democratic
national committee, by the slen-
der margin of one vote, Monday
decided to hold this years nomi-
mating convention in Chicago,
ILL.,, birthplace of the new deal
and scene of President Roose-
velt's nomination in 1882.
Chairman James A. Farley was
authorized to fix a date for the
meeting. He assured committee
men that he would try to set a
time satisfactory to all, and told
reporters that he would send out
the call soon after the Republic
cans decided on a date for their
convention.
Leaders of the minority party
weeks ago conceived the strate-
gy of delaying their convention
until after the Democrats had
chosen a nominee and written a
platform in order to take advan-
tage Of any popular reaction.
The Republican national COM
mittee meets here on Feb. Is, and
party leaders conceded tonight
that they would not be able to
outWait the Democrats.

AT CURRITUCK SOUND

Manteo.-Two sections of the
three-mile Wright Memorial
Bridge across Currituck sound
collapsed Friday under the pres
sure Of an ice arm, and residents
OF the vicinity said ice was still
plllng up against the remainder
of the bridge.
The ice also cut down several
poles of the Virginia Electric
Power Company, throwing into
darkness an area across the
sound. A local plant furnished
current for Manteo.
The state highway department
has closed the bridge, built in
1923 of wooden piling and wood
superstructure.
The destroyed sections were
near the draw, which is almost
In the middle of the span. The
break in the bridge was so to 70
feet wide.
The three-mile bridge across
Currituck Sound, bought by the
state for $125,OOO in 1885, was
built in 1923 of wooden pilings
and wood superstructure. It had
been planned to spend $4,000 i'm
proving it this spring. It's original
cost was between 100000 and

MURPHY BEGINS AS
SUPREME COURT JUDGE

Washington. - Justice Frank
Murphy Monday began his SER
vice on the Supreme Court-the
fifth member President Roosevelt
has named to the nine-man tribu-
nal.
This will bring the court to it's
full nine-man strength for the
first time since last May %.
The former attorney general,
just back from a Florida vaca-
ton, will become eligible to prac-
tice in the courts business as soon
as he takes an oath to administer
justice impartially. This will be
administered by Charles Elmore
Cropley, the clerk.
Another oath-to support the
Constitution was administered
to Murphy at the White House on
January 18, two days after his
nomination was confirmed by the
Senate. This placed him on the
courts pay roll at $4,000 year.
AS attorney general he had re-
ceived $4,000.
