WILD SCENES LAST NIGHT IX THE CONVENTION HALL Dramatic scenes were the order of the day yesterday In the. state demo cratic convention. The first rays of yesterday 8 sun broke on the storm iest scene ever witnessed In a demo cratic convention in the good Old North State, when a half hundred angry men were rushing for the chair man demanding that their side have a hearing. When the convention reconvened. at 12:45 wild scenes -again.. broke loose and the convention was one loiind of disorder throughout' the onlire after noon, only five ballots being taken When the ninth ballot had been reached, the managers of the three candidates announced that. It. had been agreed to adjourn until 8:80 o clock. This announcement was hailed with delight, as all the dele gates were tired, hoarse and hungry. No one was sleep', for the Intense ex citement, had driven sleep from every one, even the average Charlotte citl zeu, who had u home and a bed, re fused to think of sleep and stayed in the convention hall all night, and when the convention was adjourned instead of people going ho.r for a sleep they went oxx ou the si,r es and talked, paraded aud some eveu fought for their favorite. A number of women stayed in the galleries all night and were still in their seats when the convention was called to order at 8:30. One of these, the wife of one of North Carolina's prominent men, had held one seat for 36 hours with the exception of the time taken out for lunches. The convention was nothing but noise and disorder and, although po licemen were called in the people con tinued to crowd the rostrum and at times It was almost impossible for the newspaper men to work. Every one in the convention who wished to be seen tried to crowd on the plat form and the people in many ways made themselves conspicuous by an noying the officers and men who were at the convention for work. Chairman Parsons was a surprise to most of the delegates and, although lie Is a fine gentleman and a true democrat, he Is weak for the position he holds. It takes a strong man to control a convention of five thousand people and the conduct of the con vention yesterday was a disgrace to the democratic party. The vote In the 9th ballot was: Home 161.49; Craig, 319.865; Kitchin, 375.535. A caucus was held between the Craig and Horne forces, and It was talked on the streets that an agree ment would be reached whereby one would receive the nomination when the convention was called to order. All kinds of rumors were afloat about dark horses and breaks, but when the convention was 'called to order and the voting began it was seen that there was little change in the vote and the 10th ballot resulted: Horne, 147.56; Cralgl 329.435; Kitchin, 380.05. When this result was announced the Kitchin people went wild. The chairman begged the delegates to clear the aisles and keep off the plat form. The convention was a wild scene and it was, only after repeated efforts that they were able to proceed to taking the 11th ballot. The break In the ranks had been In Home's, and the Kitchin men went wild over the gain. The 11th ballot showed little change and resulted as follows: Horne, 149.48; Craig, 327.075; Kitchin, 380.440. For several minutes the hall was again in an uproar and the chairman announced that the roll-call would not continue until the hall was quiet and the aisles cleared. At 10:30 the 12th ballot began, but very little change was made, the result being as follows: . :'''". ' . Horne, 144.32; Craig, 331.735; Kitchin, 380.846.

STONc WON'T MEET FOLK; IN CHAUTAUQUA DEBATE! ''(By Leased Wire to The Times) Columbia, Mo., June 27.--Senator Wil liam J. Stone, In a letter to the Oolum buit Chautauqua, declines to meet fluv. Joseph W. Folk 111 Joint debate before the assembly here on Aug. 12.

Extraordinary Injunctions Not Warranted by Law Says Declares Plank Adopted By Republican Convention Is Sim ply Affirmation for Statute Law Authorizing Their Issuance-Asked Convention for Bread and Got Stone. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, June 27 Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, In an Intervlow of the work accomplished by the re publicans In the adoption of the plat form at Chicago has this to Bay: "The plank adopted by the republi can convention on the subject of In junctions is nothing ...more, or less than the affirmation for a statute law authorizing the issuance of injunc tions. Our contention is that (here Is no law upon the statute books author izing or warranting the Issuance of these extraordinary Injunctions. "They are never issued when no labor dispute exists between work men and employers. They are only issued when such a dispute exists. They are never Issued against any citizen, whether he he a workman or . MUCH MEREST CONVENT Raleigh People Looking To wards Charlotte Many Rumors Current There is not a man in the state who does not seem to be interested In the convention now dragging along in Charlotte. All sorts of rumors were current in Raleigh today, one of these being to the effect that )If. Horne would withdraw, giving his vote to Mr. Kitchin. So persistent-was the rumor that Governor Glenn, who is of course in terested in the : convention, tele phoned to the Charlotte News ask ing if the report were true. Word came back that the rumor was "per sistent," but that the 47th ballot gave no indication of a break. A bulletin received by The Even ing Times early in the afternoon, giv ing the 49th ballot, showed no signs of a stampede. Mr. Horne on this ballot reached his high-water mark. Persons returning from the con vention declare that, so far as can bo seen on the surface, there seems no probability of breaking the deadlock. The delegates, they say, have no love for their .opponents .and seem deter mined to fight to the end. The end of the struggle, however, may come at any moment, but It would take a wise man to foretell the nominee. Governor Glenn, it may be inter esting to note, was nominated at Greensboro on the fourth ballot some say third though a fifth was considered necessary to verify the others; The governor, with his un usual constitution, was completely worn out dining the two days that, he spent at' the convention atid was com pelled to rest for a week, If the present convention continues much longer, persons returning say, dele gates and candidates all will be com pletely exhausted.

Forcing- every pound',, of steam Into their boilers and heaping their grates w ith coal, the Cun ard liner Campania and the French liner Lorraine reached quarantine to day after one of the most exciting ocean races ever recorded. The figures showed the Cnmpania had beaten her rival by an hour. The liners sighted each other at dusk Thui-sday and the race began. They kept in .sight of each other 20 hours and then tho Cnmpania steamed ahead and lost sight of her rival. The race was maintained until thdr arrival at Randy Hook light today. In any other walk of life, when there Is no labor dispute. "Wo hold that the law docs not change because a dispute .vises be tween employers and workmen. All wo ask Is to be regarded upon an equality before the law with all other citizens. We ask no Immunity for anyone guilty of wrongdoing, whether he be workman or other, but we must insist upon the constitutional guarantee of equality before the law, We will be satisfied with nothing less.'-. "We ask the republican convention to declare, In essence, for the enact ment o a law granting human rights and hujran freedom, and it wholly failed to meet the requirements of an lntolersble, an unjust, and un American Miatlon. "We asked the convention for bread and they gave us a stoue." JOHNSON WILL GO TO DENVER TO PRESS ON HIS CAMPAIGN Will Break Away From All Precedent and Fight His Cause On Spot Bryan Doesn't Want Gov ernor Francis for His Vice-President. i lly Leased Wire to The Times.)
