The Ninth congressional Democratic convention at Faneuil Hall failed to nominate a candidate for Congress. A test vote shifted support to John A. Kelcher of Ward 6, with 88 to 70, as Dennison and Conry factions stuck to a deadlock. Several Aldermen switched and then returned, while the convention adjourned to continue tonight at the Democratic city committee headquarters.
