A brief session to perfect a perma-,

and an hour before the opening was
given over to entertainment features.
At eleven o’clock the hall was not
half full. It was eleven twenty when
Chairman Lodge stepped to the speak
ers’ space and called the convention
to order. Dr. John Timothy Stone,

leaders after a series of meetings with
delegates from different parts of the
’country last night.
T The Special wire from the Pennsyl
vania headquarters to Penrose’s home
in Philadelphia, continues ti carry the
diings of party leaders here to the
Senator. Penrose was given advice
as to the state delegation lespecting
Gov. Sproul's candidacy but so far as
has been learned he has not offered
any definite suggestions to the leaders
among the national committeemen
regarding the work of the convention.
Chairman Howland of the committee
on rules and order of business pre
sented his report. He said the only
mew material in rules was an increase
in the executive committee from: ten
to fifteen and a new assistant secre
tary. This,"he-said, 'was to take care
of the ‘reinforcements to the party
of the.ladies.” lln answer to calls

session only an hour todgy. It devoted
itself entirely to routine prelliminaties.
The second day sensaton was a speech
by, Mrs, Margaret Hill MeCartew of
Kansas, the first 'woman address in
a National conv?ntion. S,
' “Saturday noon at® the earliest” is
the estimate of leaders whén asked
when final adjournment may come,
- The delay is attributed to platform
diffrences and until a platform is buill
no one will be named to stand on it.
Word has gone out to give the radi
cals every chance to present their
views to stop any possibility of ythr
charge of steam rolling or and “excus<
for a bolt.”
