Text | The New York State delegation was the first to be called [at the national convention], and when their delegates answered to their names, Mr. Wood, of New Jersey, arose to protest against the reception of the same, on the ground of the action of that association at their last Convention in reinstating the Mutual Club. On motion, however, any further discussion of the subject was postponed until a later period of the session, and the call of the roll proceeded with. As it was afterward ascertained, in regard to the Mutual case, that no charges had been presented to the National Judiciary Committee against the New York Association, no matter affecting the status of that association could be legally brought before the Convention; and, moreover, the Mutual Club, as reinstated by the State Association, did not have the objectionable member of their list, the Association, of course, infringing no rule of the National Association by their action in this respect. |
