SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S~ The
iMnocratic National convention open
'd at noon today with a bugle call by
i detachment of marines, followed b\
lu*,;.\..rntnlien or the colors and .the
singing of the “Star Spangled Man
ner.”
The convention was called to oinei
by Vice chairman J. Bruce Krcmrr,
and invocation given by Monsignor P.
L. Ryan, vicar general of the Honan
Catholic Church, diocese of San Fran
cisco.
The call for the convention was
•oad by Secretary E. G. Hoffman, of
the National committee.
After his address. Kromcr present
<1 the name of National ( hairman {
Homer S. Cummings as temporary i
•hairman of the convention. Cumm
ings was elected, he made a speech
wri then committees were announced
ind an adjournment taken.
Hours before noon crowds throng
'd about the Auditorium. Every one
,f the 12 000 seats wore taken.
Pa’mer and Cox managers are striv-1
:ng hard to stem the fresh tide for
McAdoo caused by the latter’s announ
cement that he would accept the nom
ination for Presidency if the delegates
to the convention nominated him.
There is much talk of Edwin T.
Meredith for second place. The latter’s
headquarters were closed Saturday
night as it was the concensus of opin
ion that he could not win the nomin
ation for the presidency.
Perfect weather conditions prevail
here today the temperature only being
(JO degrees.
The bugle call in place of the old
style of the gavel pounding for order
was the only departure from the us
ual convention routine. The seating
arrangements in the Auditorium were
pronounced excellent by all.
A demonstration lasting 45 min
utes followed the unfurling of a huge
American flag, shortly after the con
i
vcntion was called to order. The un
furling of the flap disclosed a portrait
of President Wilson. In the conven
tion hall, standards were seized and
with a rollinp chorus “Hurrah for Wil
j son" the delegates joined in a proces
sion such us usually follows when a
candidate is placed in nomination.
Vice Chairman Krcmer vainly tried to
order. It was a tremendous ovation
I and the demonstration following: was
noisy with frequent outbursts of fur
ther cries for the President.
FOR EARLY BALLOTING

general managers of all candidates
are busy this afternoon jockeying for
the advantage of early balloting.
Prohibition is manifestly the livest
subject.
Bryan has had little to say about
the permanent organization being too
busy with the fight for the dry plank,
apparently interposing no active oppo
sition to the administration's program
though credited with favoring Walsh
for the chairmanship of the resolu
tions committee.

FOR ALASKA
SAN FRANCISCO, June 28— The
committee of the Pacific Coast Rocky ■
mountain states and territories will

j being pushed through to enable Grigs
i by to obtain credit for Alaska planks
in the platform to help his re-election.

harass others. Cummings has held
that an alternate cannot give his
proxy. C.rigsby and Troy are in the
same position as T. M. Reed.
