In numbers, at least, the women have already achieved equal representation in Democratic politics. Almost an even 500 feminine visitors and politicians were present when Cordell Hull, chairman of the national committee, opened the convention at 12:50. In Informal Attire. On the platform behind him sat all of the 54 national committee of the Democratic party.

Those who had husbands had reserved seats for them, too. The oppressive heat, or enthusiastic preparation for hard shoulder-to-shoulder battle, was responsible for a charming informality in the dress the women politicians. Simple, sheer summer dresses of linen or voile predominated in the shifting maze. Mrs. J.

Every woman on the platform, where the feminine party leaders were assembled, started to her feet with a falsetto cry, waving fan or handkerchief, when Wilson's name fell from Senator Harrison's lips.

Stf KEYVOTE By ffff MM KARP i Mil iHI Tiro of New York's Spokesmen expected performances of two wide ly differing leaders in the party: William Jennings Bryan and Tom Taggart of Indiana.

'If Bryan is sincerely desirous of the nomination of McAdoo I believe he will jump into the breach at the psychological moment and assure his nomination," said one of the most astute men at McAdoo headquarters. "Bryan is still an enormous force in the party. "Then keep your eye on Taggart. He is the cleverest strategfst in the Old Guard.

Davis, counsel for J. P. Morgan, if Mr.

Davis should be trotted out a promising dark horse. Bryan said Sunday the party might as well nominate Morgan himself as Davis. Serious inroads on the SJcAdoo strength were reported during the day. Six of the North Dakota delegates have decided to desert the Californian after the fifth roll call and vote for Al Smith. The McAdoo managers heard of the de fection, confirmed it and promptly charged the six North Dakota men had been won away at a booze party.

McAdoo holds the Washington delegation by a vote and a half margin "and is in danger of losing the entire unit before the balloting has gone far. Much to the disappointment of McAdoo, the Connecticut delegation has turned out to be overwhelmingly for Smith.
