Fight Over Roosevelt Delegates Delays Republican Convention
At Chicago on June 20 the 78 Roosevelt delegates faced removal from the roll as Hadley sought to substitute Roosevelt delegates for those seated by the national committee. The floor erupted in shouting with police assistants and sergeants at arms called in. Allen of Kansas threatened a bolt as Hemenway and others argued precedents and rights of contested delegates. The chaotic session paused for order as debates stretched, with no immediate decision on seating amid fierce disputes.
