CANDIDATES' HEADQUARTERS DRAW HUGE THRONGS OF IDUY CURIOUS
HOTEL CORRIDORS
TAXED BY CROWDS
I
Men, Women and Children
Squirm Through Over
flowing Hallways.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 29.—Like a county
fair, the Democratic convention's can
didate row—the string of head
quarters for eight presidential aspirants
—is drawing an endless more-than-ca
pacity crowd.
Hero worshipers and Idly curious,
far into the night men, women and
children push and squirm and fight
their way up through the first two
floors of the Congress Hotel, where
candidates and managers hang out.
All have but one objective, to get a
glimpse of their favorite political
hero, or any hero.
The endless procession last night
reached a peak of unbelievable dimen
sions. It included delegates, alternates,
autograph hunters, button collectors
and platform lobbyists, but most of
them were plain curiosity seekers. They
have been lured to the teeming hotel
by newspaper headlines, the blare of
bands and the noise of a typical Demo
cratic convention crowd.
They wanted to have a part In the
"show."
Those who flocked to Alfred E.
Smith's headquarters all wanted to
shake hands with the happy warrior.
They refused to believe he was in se
clusion and swarmed into his office
anyway. The buttons and literature
they received sent them away with
tome compensation for their efforts.
The 12 rooms occupied by the Roose
velt forces were filled all evening.
Serious Traffic Jam.
In Ritchie's headquarters the Im
mense Florentine room, scores of the
Maryland Governor's fans sat In com
fortable chairs watching a constant
procession file by.
Other crowds trekked to a remote
corner of the hotel to beg Gov. "Al
falfa Bill" Murray for a corridor speech,
or pushed Into the inadequately small
headquarters of Byrd, Garner, Reed, or
Travlor.
The curiosity seekers created serious
pedestrian traffic jams as they stalled
around the corridors, but they were
perfectly happy. They had played their
own small role In the political drama
Of 1932.
MRS. PYKE BATTLES
FOR JOUETT SHOUSE
Prettiest Picture on Convention
Stage Also Veteran in Political
Mill.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 29.—Silver bob
ehining in every fly-away strand, Mrs.
Bernlce S. Pyke of Ohio, was the pret
tiest picture thus far on the convention
stage as she gave verbal battle'yester
day for Jouette Shouse as permanent
chairman.
But Mrs. Pyke was very much In ear
n2st. and her speech, in which every
sentence was given with emphasis, cut |
through to the ears of the delegates cn
its intrinsic forcefulness.
She simply recounted the official rec
ord of the Chicago meeting last April
In which the Arrangements Committee,
with whom she was sitting, agreed upon
Jouette Shouse as permanent chairman.
Much at home in political conven
tions Mrs. Pyke presented an appearance
that would give no inkling to the un
initiated of her place in party parleys.
She is considered one of three out
standing women whom the women party
leaders consult "as though they were
men"—the other two being Mrs. Eliza
beth Marbury and Mrs. Henry Mosko
witz, both New Yorkers.
"I've been a national committee
woman ever since there were women on
the National Committee," she said, as
she stepped from the platform after her
speech, "and I was in suffrage long oe
fore that, campaigning the country
over."
Of her Shouse defense, she said, with
very blue eyes telling how much she
was in earnest: "As a woman, I had to
do it. Women in politics must keep the
faith. If the men had kept the faith,
we would not have had this fight on the
floor."

Roosevelt Men Expect Vic

First Ballot.
(Continued From Pi fit Page.)
leading against the adoption of a
majority rule for nominations in place
of the two-thirds rule, when things
were looking rather blue for the New
York Governor.
The Roosevelt lpaders are particu
larly jubilant bscause of the vote on
the permanent chairmanship. They
were able to hold thsir delegates in
line surprisingly well, when it is con
sidered that instructions for the can
didate did not cover votes on perma
nent chairman, and there were bound
to be defections because of friendship
for Shouse, who Is popular with the
Democrats in many parts of the
country.
Early Switches Expected.
Roosevelt's vote on the first ballot for
the nomination is bound to run to 670
or over, or just about 100 short of the
necessary two-thirds vote, unless all the
estimates fail. Roosevelt leaders insist
it will reach 703. With such a big
vote in sight already there is talk of
quick defections from favorite-son can
didates. making it possible to put the
New Yorker over the line before the re
sult of the roll call can be announced.
For example, it is rel ably reported that
the Missouri delegation, while it will
ca.st its vote for fermer Senator James
A. Reed on the first call of the roll,
when Roosevelt has reached more than
a majority on that call, will announce a
change of vote, giving Roosevelt 19
out of a total of 36. with perhaps more.
The anti-Rooeevelt camp has sent up
a cry, "Hold him for three ballots and
he's stopped."
This is the word A1 Smith passed out
to the allied forces last night and to
day. The feeling is that if three ballots
are passed without Roosevelt getting the
two-thirds vote the allies may be in a
strong position to dig in and fight it
out.
Mustered 492% *Votes.
The allies mustered 492% votes on
the ballot yesterday against seating the
Minnesota delegation supporting Roose
yelt. They must hold 385 votes in line
constantly against Roosevelt or he will
be nominated. So the pleas are to the
various favorite sons and their delegates
to hold out for three ballots.
The alites assert that if Roosevelt is
not nominated immediately, delegates
now supporting him will drift away.
They insist that some of them are al
ready lukewarm and ready to leave the
New York Governor on the first pre
text. To offset this, however, the Roose
νtriL îeaaers insist mai mere are piern-y
of delegates now lined up for favorite
son candidates who are ready to qujt
those candidates and go to the Roose
velt standard.
Farley said today that the Roosevelt
high command is keeping its hands
completely off the fight over the prohi
bition plank in the platform.
"We have fights enough on our hands
without getting into that." he said.
Bruce Kremer of Montana, one of the
Roosevelt lieutenants, took the same
view of the liquor fight. He pointed out
that the delegation from his State, a
strong Roosevelt delegation, will sup
port the wettest kind of plank, while
the strong Roosevelt delegation from
Tennessee will support a less wet plank.
Parley denied a report that the
Roosevelt people had made en offer
of $10,000 to a Traylor manager to
quit the race for his candidate.
Roosevelt needs 111% votes more
than his Minnesota delegation received
in the contest fight yesterday.
Dicker With Virginia.
The Virginia delegation, it was re
ported this morning, contains much
Roosevelt sentiment. But it was added
that at present it still Intends to stick
by Harry Flood Byrd. Some of the
Virginia delegates confirmed rumors
that there had been dickering with the
Roosevelt forces over the vice presi
dential nomination.
Farley would not say anything about
plans for the vice presidential nomi
nation, or would he discuss reports of
deals with Garner and Gov. White of
Ohio. He said that of course a lot of
people were talking the situation over
with the Roosevelt leaders.
A proposal to swing the Texas and
California delegations to Roosevelt on
Jhe first ballot, with the under
standing that. Speaker Gacner would
be nominated for Vice President was
broached at a meeting of Texas and
California delegates today. If such a
deal were made it would mean 90
more votes for Roosevelt on the first
ballot, enough to make his nomination
sure. It Is said. The Texans and Cali
forniens, however, want some definite
assurance from the Rooeevelt people
that the nomination of Garner would
go through. Garner, himself, may be
holding out against the proposai, it
was hinted. William Glbbs McAdoo,
heading the California delegatior.
might well gain by such a plan, as he
is a candidate for the Senate ·η -Cali
fornia this year. There was reported
to be some sentiment among the Texas
delegation for the plan.
"Çoosevelt, Ritchie and repeal," was
the ticket advanced by an enthusiast
for the Governors of New York and
Maryland. Ritchie, if he would take
second place, would undoubtedly add
strength to the Democratic ticket in
the populous States cf the East and
Roosevelt is suppored to be strong
enough himself to run well In the Mid
dle West and the West.
"If Roosevelt is Stopped."
Those anti-Roosevelt Democrats who
continued today to talk of "stopping"
the New York Governor and making
possible the nomination of another can
didate, spoke particularly of Gov.
Ritchie of Maryland and ,ύί Newton D.
Baker of Ohio. Undoubtef & there is a
great amount of real sentiment for
Ritchie among many of the delegations.
But, even in these friendly delegations,
there is always a preface—"if Roosevelt
is stopped, we will go to Ritchie."
When the Rules Committee of the
national convention finally made its
report late yesterday afternoon, all ef
fort to change the two-thirds rule for
this convention wes definitely aban
doned. A recommendation was includ
ed in the committee's report, however,
that a majority rule for nominations
be adopted by the Democratic National
Convention to be held in 1936.
So passes the abortive attempt to do
away with the two-thirds rule at this
convention. Should Roosevelt be elected
President this year and seek renoml
nation four years hence, practically
without opposition, as is the case with
the Presidents desiring a second term,
the stage would be set for the adoption
of majority rule.
In the contest over the permanent
chairmanship yesterday Alfred E. Smith
did not take the floor as he had threat
ened to do in support of Jouett Shouse.
Instead. John W Davis, the Democratic
standard bearer in 1924, made the prin
cipal speech in favor of Shouse. Smith
may be reserving himself for a dra
matic appeal to the delegates in con
nection with the prohibition plank, if ,
the Resolutions Committee plank is not !
sufficiently wet to suit him. So far
the standard bearer of 1928 has played
i an unimportant part in the conven
tion itself.
Reed Won't Withdraw.
The withdrawal of Roo evelt and his
forces from the fight to adopt a ma
jority rule for nominations in the 'na
' tional convention undoubtedly eased
j the situation greatly, although it
ι brought charges that the New York
j Governor was a "quitter." Persistence
in. the effort to overthrow the two
I thirds rule would have caused a wide
breach in the Roosevelt group.
Reed of Missouri, when told last
; night there were reports that he in
I tended to withdraw from the presi
dential race, following an example set
bv Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois, replied:
, "I have no idea of withdrawing. This
is just propaganda. I am not in the
habit of starting anything and then
running away."
Mr. Reed was asked when he thought
the nomination would be made and
answered :
"It might be the first ballot or might
be the fiftieth."
Despite their opposition to Roosevelt,
the allies against him privately admit
ted discouragement. The Tammany
delegates were particularly uncomfort
1 able. As they saw it today, there was
I practically no hope of preventing the
ncmlnation of Roosevelt. They wish to
cast a ballot for Smith, but if they do
and Roosevelt should be nominated on
the first ballot, where would that leave
them?
Question Hague daims.
The Roosevelt headquarters have
made public 10 telegrams from Demo
cratic organizaticns located In New Jer
sey declaring th»t Prank Hague, A1
Smith's floor mifiager and chief oppo
nonent of the Roosevelt nomination,
does nofr speak ior New Jersey Demo- .
crats when he says that Roosevelt cannot1
carry that State in November. A sam
ple of these telegrams follows:
"Smith and Hague lost New Jersey
in 1928. Why throw away the State
on them again? Nominate Roosevelt
and assure Democratic victory.

Representative John E. Rankin of Mis

of Taxas and Joseph E. Burnett, spoke
for the service men's division of the
Democratic National Committee, which
promises to take a very active part in
the coming campaign. They presented
their bonus plea from three angles.
Representative Connery stressed that it
is the only way to bring the service man
into the Democratic party by taking a
stand on the most vital issue before the
country.
A member of the Resolutions Com
mittee asked Representative Conner}' if
his proposal was "to buy the soldier's
vote," and he replied, "No more than
you are trying to buy the votes of the
farmers, or the votes of me wet crowd
or of industrial interests." He declared
that "this is a bread-and-butter plank."
A member said he would be willing to
pay those who really need it and Con
nery replied, "Then pay 80 per cent of
them and let the other 20 per cent
wait."
Representative Patman said he had
debated the question of paying the sol
diers' bonu3 all over the country and
found a very strong sentiment for the
cash payment.
A public works program and Federal
aid to States when local relief funds
arc exhausted were the main features
of the unemployment relief plank.
Other planks call for downward re
vision of tariff rates on recommenda
tions of a fact-finding commission,
strict Federal economy β -Ί a balanced
Federal budget, stricter regulation of
banks with more safeguards for deposi
tors and peaceful negotiation of inter
national disputée.

Delegates of Six States Hold
Fate of Gov. Roosevelt in Hands
Neiv York, Missouri, Indiana, Texas, O/iio
and California May Swing Nomination.
Tammany Reftorted Wavering.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 29. — Prom the
Rcosevelt camp today the siren call to
"mount the band wagon" was directed
especially at a small army of delegates
from six populous States.
The six were New York, Missouri,
Indiana, Texas, California and Ohio,
having a total of 302 votes at this
convention. They are a gocd many
more than twice the number needed
to make the New York Governor
Democracy's choice to take Herbert
Hoover's place in the White House.
There were indications slso that to
some of the delegates the call from
the Rooseveltlans had already sounded
like music.
Missouri May Switch.
Despite the plea from "Jim" Reed,
the man they are pledged to for the
presidency, 19'/2 of Missouri's 36 votes
broke lcose yesterday and went to
Senator Walsh. Roosevelt choice for the
permanent chairmanship.
The Missouri men have Indicated
they will iollow instructions and give
Reed their 36 intact on the first vote
for the presidency. After that, a rush
toward the Roosevelt standard is quite
likely. How many would join in It was
a question being asked by both sides.
Indiana threw its strength solidly
against Roosevelt yesterday, but tomor
row will probably tell a different story.
Some members of the delegation have
estimated that the New Yorker will
get at least 20 votes.
As things stood last night, there was
some comfort among sombrr-faced ene
mies of Roosevelt In the attitude of the
Ohio delegation.
It threw 48 votes against the
Rooseveltlans in the Shouse-Walsh test
and today It appeared there was no
concerted movement toward the leaier.
There was concern, however, among
the friends of Alfred E. Smith and
other candidates over reports from close
to Tammany, that the Tiger delegates
were seriously considering rallying to
Roosevelt. Leaders of the organization
already had said frankly they intended
to swing to the prospective winner at
the proper time.
Texas and California were soundly
pledged to Speaker Garner, but rumors
about the former were flying about like
excited bees. One report was that
3arner would be offered the vice presi
dency If he would swing the 46 votes
jf Texas In line.
There was no verification of this,
however, and there was doubt that Cali
fornia would follow Texas even then.
Confident, beaming, Roosevelt cap
tains were predicting today that oppo
sition sand bags piled against the anti
Roosevelt levee were insufflcient and
that once there was a sizable break, it
would all be over but the rejoicing and
the sorrow.
The reply, of course, was an entirely
contrary forecast.

ROOSEVELT GETS
FEW OHIO VOTES
Test Ballots Indicate Small
Percentage of Delegates
Favor New Yorker.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. 111., June 29—With her
"favorite son" candidate, Gov. George
White, locking on, Ohio's delegation to
the Democratic National Convention
indicated in test votes yesterday that
only a small fraction of the delegation
will swing to Gov. Franklin D. Roose
velt if given the opportunity.
On two ballots testing Roosevelt's
strength, the Ohio delegation cast 48 V2
votes against the New York Governor.
The delegates supporting Roosevelt
were former State Chairman W. W. Dur
bin of Kenton, who has urged Gov.
White to withdraw from the race; Rob
ert S. Marx of Cincinnati, a personal
friend of the New York executive, and
Dr. Hartman of Galion. Durbin has
only one-half vote. The tests came
on the question of seating the Roose
velt Minnesota delegation and on elec
tion of a permanent chairman.
Gov. White, who has arrived to aid
his managers in rounding up votes for
himself or other Ohioans, attended yes
terday's convention session and occu
pied a seat on the platform as an honor
for his services as a former national
committeeman.
Gov. Ritchie of Maryland came over
to Gov. White and after shaking hands
with him wished him success. "But
what a bo kit yourself?" Gov. White ask
ed. "Oh, I don't need any good wishes,"
Ritchie replied, jokingly.
To forestall any promiscuous parad
ing of the Ohio standard by any one
unauthorised to carry it, Chairman
Brunner today placed Joe Wachsmuth
of Sidney, on guard over it with in
structions to let no one have it unless
directed to do so by the chairman.

CHICAGO. June 29 —Huey Long ha*
hit his Louisiana "Klngfish·' stride In
Chicago.
Until last night Huey had been un
usually quiet, purposely so until he had
seated his de'egates over the protests of
a delegation of his mortal political
enemies.
But after he had won the contest by
the slim margin of 63 votes, he cut loose
and "Klngflshed" for the multitude.
He went on a visiting rampage and
called on any and all delegates to tell
them how to cure the ilia of democracy.
He broke the boredom of newspaper
men before the locked door of the Reso
lutions Committee by appearing sud
denly from around a corner and de
manding:
"Where Is this here rose room?"
He banged twice on the door an<
shouted:
"This is Senator Long."
Asks and Get· 10 Minute*.
As the door cracked, he yelled, "I
want 10 minutes" and went in. 8ome
of the platform builders objected and
others tried to compromise ori five min
utes, but Huey shouted for 10 minute·
and got It. He had Mayor T. Semmes
Walmsley of New Orleans, his member
of the committee, to submit two plank»:
First. "That the Democratic party
pledges itself to have a leadership In
Congress not privately or profession
ally obligated to Interests lnlmlcabte
to the welfare of the general public."
Second. "The Democratic party
pledge: itself to undertake the fair dis
tribution of wealth Into the hands of
all the people by taxation or such other
laws that may be necessary."
They were taken under advisement.
As he came out he was asked if be
meant to apply his first plank to Senator
Jos'ph T. Robinson of Arkansas, Demo
cratic leader of the Senate, whom he
has lambasted on the floor of the
Senate.
Elated Over Three Victories.
"If the cap fits him, let him wear it,"
he snapped as he swung off down the
aisle looking for something else to settle.
Huey was feeling good. He had won
three battles over his Louisiana "poor
fish," as he termed the opposition, and
had spoken In a Roosevelt "pep" meet
ing.
He had addressed the national con
vention and weathered a storm of boos
and catcalls. He spoke for the seating
of his delegates against hoots, laughter
and applause, and wound up with
enough votes to seat his crew and with
a very few boos left in the audience.
He was getting himself steamed up
for another speech on the floor of the
convention. Intending to speak today
on his two planks unless he Is gagged
and anchored to his seat.
It was a great day for Huey and be

Parades to Force
Nominations Into
Lengthy Session
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 29.—It would
take a week to nominate all the
aspirants to the Democratic pres
idential nomination if every ora
tor were given Indefinite freedom
of the microphone, but the con
vention has imposed a curb.
Twenty minutes for nominating
speeches multiplied by eight
candidates runs 2 hours and 40
minutes. Five minutes to second
the nominations, multiplied by
as many as can get a chance to
talk, should run the time up to
four hours or so.
But no known rule can be
applied to limit marching demon
strations, traditional pastime of
the delegates as each name goes
In. No one, therefore, counted
on an end to the convention
speechmaking today.
