Democrats Choose New York City for National Convention
Washington reports the Democratic National Convention will be held in New York City starting June 24 after the Cleveland Republican gathering.

The selection ends a 56-year wait for a Gotham convention, with McAdoo factions noting mixed support and Rumors of the Murphy Brennan Taggart influence. The bid peaked at 205000, surpassing San Francisco 200000, and Chicago loses the 1896- era advantage of hosting major party events.
