Convention Sidelights lly tiOBERT T. SMA1L (C??>n?M IW4. Hi TIm Atf??ac?| N?w York. June 1M.?A distinct feature of this Democratic national convention is the large number of stalwart Repuh'i'uns who are in the city. Perhaps they are here as ' un official observers." fur that has been the Republican policy at Washing ton during the last three and a half years. Many of the old line mem bers of the G. O. !?.. vvlu? were at Cleveland announced their Silt ntion of coming on here for 'he ??j?P ?*i tlou pow wow. They w? re firm <u the belief that th? real of the coming campaign was to be written here. The Republicans have Ueeu able to formulate a few plan- up to this time, but until they know who Is to be the Democratic nominee they will not be able to go far. The whole strategy of the coming fight will depend upon th- Democrat ic standard bearer and platform. In the coming ballot both side* are go inn to attack, if I hey can. f ?r It hn-?iH become an American maxim that people vote against something rath er than for something. Among the Republicans prominent in the lobby of the Waldorf the past day or two has been William It. Will cox, who managed the campaign of Charles Evans Hughes for the pres idency in 1916. More than one Dem ocrat was heard to express the wish that Mr. Wlllcox was again at the helm of the G. O. P. Another stalwart Republican "on the Job" is Orntsby Mcllarg, some times of Washington. ? sometimes of , North Dakota, and sometimes of New York City. Ormsby was a member of the Roosevelt administration al so was one of four most vehement Bull-Mioosers in 1912. He is back in the fold now and says the Demo crats have not a chance. Still another hard-hitting member of the G. O. P.. is Robert F. Wolfe, of Columbus. Ohio. "Bob" insists he is not In politics any more, but his friends know that he wields a ve to power in the Buckeye Stat.* which must he respected. Bob Wolfe's brother. Harry Pres ton Wolfe, also is here, but Harry Is a Democrat. He holds to the theory that when a man is born something makes him a Democrat and ho can never he anything else. When he expounded this theory he* was looking hard at George B. Christ ian. Jr.. who was secretary to the late President Harding. George was always known as a Democrat back in Marlon and there are those who say that he Is peeking under the Democratic tent again today. Peacock Alley at the Waldorf has become brick bat row. There are more knocks than boosts at this con vention. In the beglnr'ng the knocks were gentle things, mere taps, but as the convention has approached and as the temperature has been' rushing up toward the ninety mark, the hammers have begun to swli}g with a vlclousness which knows no bounds. Let any man attempt to toss a bouquet In any direction and ho does so at his peril. The brick bats shower down from far and near. ' The New York police had their | annual parade and show-off today. ? They wanted to get that out of their! systems so they would have nothing on their hands but the Democratic convention for the remainder of the week. What with the Ku Kluxers and the anli-Ku Kluxers demanding that the i.<sue between them be fought out on the floor of the con-, ventlon. there Is slight wonder that, "the finest" arc polishing up their night sticks and preparing for the' fray. Dimrni and I'ythlas arc hero. of| course. Joe Tumulty, who was se cretary to Woodrow Wilson, and Raymond T. Baker, who was director of the mint under the same admin istration. Ray Is beyond all ques tion the best dressed man at the convention, and he is prepared to run Governor Pat Neff. of Texas, a race to the finish for the pulchritude prize. Ray has his mind fixed on the United States Senate a couple of years hence. Joe Is helping to line up the antl-Ku Kluxers. Some of the .convention visitors ^ave been amazed to see the lowneck nacks whkh still stand in frr>nt of the Waldorf. Occasionally a hansom cab also may be observed on the stand. New York Is reluctant al ways to part with Its old traditions. Two of the visitors hopped Into one of the open-face barouches last night and driving down Fifth Ave nue. pretended they were living In an age of forty years ago. As they neared Madison Square_one of them remarked that he understood a great garden was to be built there as soop si Stanford White could complete the plans. The other volunteered the information that a building to be known as the Flat Iron was In con FASHION NEWS NOTES iCMY'lfht. 1924. By Th* New York. June U4. ? Some of the present day costume slip* ur*? much more beautiful than the costun.e ihrinM'IVfS. For example. a costume f lip of delirious gr? en metal-cloth I* wirn beneath a vt*ry plain little frock of sheer white muslin. N"w York. Jun*' 21.?The separate >kirt is almost a summer iieccssity, slim* it allows of a chanK> in blous. The prili- yellow Georgette bl'uts es now to be had look especially well, with the wool rropc pleated skirts in sand ton??s. Paris, June 2 4.?This season's brii!'* lu'*8 :i gown much *hort? r than usual so far this summer. She mil i":??"' this shortness, howevr. by, pant-Is reaching below the hrnixon eacli side arid by a trailing xc\\f Parsi. Juno 24.?The Olympic games have started several vogues so far. The latest lingerie, in fine white linen, has cross-stitch embroid ery that portrays races, diving, and I sundry other Olympic c.vt:aLs. T.omlon. June 24.- The latest idea ii. jrlas.s bracelets is to wear per haps a dozen of thftw-olcar, slender! ?ornaments which graduate In color from paje yellow to deep green. from| crimson to faint pink, or from cm ? raid to apple. Paris'. June 2 4.?More and more it is being home in upon us that Spfin is a remarkable country. Take, for instance, the way iu which an ev ening frock is now evolved from a Spanish sha.v: Clothed in it. the lady looks an though she had flung tn* shawl about her Just after com ing from her bath. New York. June 2 4.?The vogue for black and white Is at Its best to day in a street costume, of flat crepe and white Georgette. The flat c repe is really two wide panels in back and in front, forming an over dress for Ihe fluffy white that swirls *raceful-, ly as the wearer walks. Round the hem of the black panels Is a bit of white embroidery in a vine pattern. Ixindon, June 24.?A sedate sort of plaid Is a feature of the new silk temptation at the Avenue and Twen ty-third street. Still proceeding South the visitors enme to an old cafe. They entered. Then something of the past caine back to them. They opened a bottle of wine. Then another. They com plained because the bar tender did not have the vintage of 1896. The bo rould do was 1887. He as s.ii-Lii hij guests he would have some *96 labels printed at once. In a dreamy slate the two visitors returned to'their hotels. The gray dawn of the morning after brought the modern realities back home to ? hem. Hut the same old headache remedy of forty years ago was still to be had. The New York taxlcab drivers are nil for Al. They have his picture on door glasses and windshields. They have posters with his name on them. They even have additional li cense tags which read "Al Smith '24." A Mc*doo delegate or booster has a hard time trying to find a yel low without the Smith decorations. The eternal feminine will out. Most of the women delegates and visitors left party squabbles behind them to day and flocked to a special fashion show arranged In their honor. E. C. Yellowley. chleT of the field sleuths of the dry enforcement es tablishment at Washington Is here, and dally mingles with the throngs in the crowded hotel lobbies. He in sists he Is not gunning for the flask toters. but Just the same all who know him open up a wide pathway as he comes along. The dry chief casts a wicked glance, but he gets some black looks back in return. George Brennan must have his little Joke on his old political enemy William Jennings Bryan. According to lobby chatter when Mr. Brennan was told that Mr. Bryan had an nounced his intention to fight the two thirds rule, the sage of Illinois remarked that In that case the rule was sure to stand forever. One Republican we almost over Jooked. John Barrett, formerly of the Pan American Bureau at Washing ton. John appeared at the Waldorf In beautiful knickers of the four-plus model. Still he could in no way ap proach the sartorial splendor of Ray| Baker. I . I hosiery. This is worn with walking I shoes. not only in the country but also in town. The plaids, which are j very small, confirm themselves to dun blues, greens and violets, with here and there a brilliant stripe of . scarlet. Jade or gold. Paris .June -4.?Th?-re is nothing | like consistency. The alligator shoe,' smart and trim creation that it is.1 now has a jewelled alligator serv . ing as a strap across the ankle. I Paris. June 24. -The n? w eveninu slippers today an- scarcely i:ior?- then |a >?>!?? and a *? riv** of straps. Of m?t al cloth or brocade. th*y are 1 it? ly dainty, but s-u cut out and cut up that on** man'els at their staying ou the foot at all. London. June 2 4.?A new id- a has ' occurred to the girl with the bobbed hair. Instead of combing her short hair straight down in boyish fashion. I she now swirls it to one *id<>. The i hair wraps her head as closely as u cap. but the swirl to one side give*! it never the. less a feminine touch. London. June 24.?A delightful new wrist bag shown today is of tin*! envelope type, in alligator skin. Its tailored liues are subdued, but not spoiled, by a bright silk wrist cold j uud a long Chinese tassel, the latter attached to the center of th<- has. 1 New York. June 24.?Plaid silks' in subtle shadinjc and broken pat terns are on display today iu several smart shops. The plaids ar?- lar#r?. but so broken up that they are adaptable, even to larjce fi^urci.I while the colors are sott and sum mer-like. New York. June 24.---A little af ternoon kowii of dotted Swiss, worn I hero today, looks like a pleasant throw-back to the better Yictorlan st>les. The skirt is rather full, the bodice plain with a roundt-d neck. , The Swi.ns i?self is mulberry iu ?hatf? ' wiili white dots. New York, June 24.?Clo?e fitting headdresses for the shingled head are among the summer evening ne cessities. One of these is a scarf of flittering brocade which wraps round the head tightly crossing in front where it tautens with a large Jewel brooch. IF SHE'S WORTH WHILE.
