For one afternoon fhe activities of convention were centered ' ! on one point—the widely scattered dele gates and visitors brought together in a common purpose. From the streets and hotels, where mirth has prevailed, from the convention hall, from committee rooms and state headquarters, where politics and /policies are being discussed through th e midnight hours, came the visit ing host to impress the living by their unity and honor the dead on the field of battle. Hardly less important among the events of the week was the morn ing session at the Gii'od street as sembly hall, where policies fresh from committee rooms were thrown in the hopper. , The receptio n accorded by th e dele gates to committee reports is expect ed to have considerable bearing on the contest for national officers. Many large and influential state del egations are “on the fence,” it is learned, waiting to se e what develops. They have no candidates and are not proposing any trades. Tile “bonus” convictions of as pirants for the honor of national cvommander are subject to consider able scrutiny by many of the dele gates, it is reported. The annual parade of th e Amer ican Legion started at 2 p. m. Places were accorded .state delegations in the older determined by their mem bership increase during the past year. Major Allison Owens, of New Or leans was-marshal of the day. Lead ing the parade was the “guard of honor,” comprising four men each from, the navy, army, marine corps and National Guard.

Passing the stand in front of the custom house, in Canal street, the marchers honor ed their dead, commemorated by the monument. Bands silenced anil the dead was saluted. Kenesaw M. Landis, supreme base ball commissioner, was speaker at the morning session of the legion, in convention hall. On the program also wa s Gen. Eli K. Cole, represent ing Maj. Gen. John L. Lejuene, who has: bee n unable to attend the con vention because of illess in his fam ily. Major J. B. B. Cohen, representa tive of the British Legion was a dis tinguished guest at the session. Maj or Cohen lost both legs at th e third battle of Ypres, and is totally dis abled. He has been treasurer of the British Legion in the past five years, is a member of parliament and devotes most of his time to the solv ing of problems, of the exservice men. Among the committee reports that are expected are those on military af fairs, constitution, internal organiza tion, naval affairs and finance. The American Legion Auxiliary! held a brief business session during the morning, when reports of depart ments and committees were heard. 1 Adjournment was taken at noo„ when the .memberg marched in a hody to a reserved gt-jand stand and viewed the legion parade.

When the SMALL VOTE FOR HARDWICK HERE ! WAS SURPRISE ! In Enlire County He Received Only 87 While Judge j George Polled 402 Managers of the primary of Tues day, from all the county precincts with the exception of the 27th, dis trict, which is the Fancy Bluff voting place, reported to the Glynn. County Democratic Executive Committee yes terday and, with the vote in Bruns wik, candidates received a total as follows: For United ,States senator, George 402, Hardwick, 87; Wright, 37; Cooper, 5. For pension commissioner, Stone lead with 343 and others were as fol lows: McGregor 119; Clark, 51; Butts, 9, and Dent, 7. The great sur prise of the election here was the small vote received by Governor Hardwick as even those strongly op posed to him wer e of the opinion that he would receive at least 150 and an other feature in connection with the Governor’s vote here is the fact that practically all the women voted aga : ns t him, which shows that the editorial in The News several days,: ago in which the opinion was ex pressed that the appointment of Mrs. Felto n would lose votes for him rather than increasing the number among the women of the state. A noticeable feature of the primary was the absence cf clerks who have been serving years and years o n a pay basis, but who did not prove to be “Johnny on the spot” on this oc casion as no fund was provided for compensation, but to those who did give their services the Democratic Executive Committee is extremely grateful.

COMMITTEE WILL ; TAKE UP CONTEST OF ME BUTTS Hearing Set For Tomorrow! Morning Before State Ex* ecutive Committee. MAY BE REFERRED TO SPECIAL SUBCOMMITTEE Judge Butts Received a Letter From Chairman Maddox Last Night Advising That His Pro test Would Come up Judge E. C. Butt s received a lat ter last night from Chairman Mad dox, of the Democratic State Ex ecutive Committee, in which he stat ed that the contest filed by Judge Butts would be take n up it a meal ing of the committee to be held in Atlanta tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock. Accompanied by Hon. Mil lard Reese Judge Butts will leave far Atlanta tonight. The letter from Chairman Maddox merely stated that the committee was acting under a resolution passed by the convention held in Macon early this month, whe n the contest was referred to the executive committee with power to act. He stated fur ther that at the meeting tomorrow it would b decided whether the con test was to be handled by th e com mittee as a whole or referrd to a subcommittee, which could make an investigation and submit its report later, probably at the meeting of the state convention to be held in Ma con next week. The letter received by Judge Butts was also sent to Judge J. P. High smith, at Baxley, and it is expected! that lie and hi s attorneys will also! be present at the meeting tomorrow. Just what action will be take n by the committee cannot, of course, be forecast. The. opinion prevails,- however, that the contest will be re ferred to a sub-committee, whose duty i it w'll be to thoroughly investigate 1 th e charges preferred by Judge Butts i and report later to the general execu-l tive committee. In the event th e con test is decided in Judge Butts’ favor it mcan s that his charges will be sus-; tained an< that many people in Ap nling county who were not register ed were permitted, to vote in the! primary, and therefore their votes should be thrown out. If this is done ' 1 of course Judge Butts will be de-1 dared the nominee and his name will! appear on the Democratic to be j voted in the general lction next month.
