Lindbergh today confronted Bruno Richard Hauptrnann in a dramatic scene. It came just befora the kidnaping suspect was arraigned in Bronx County Court, where a price of was set for his liberty in bail. Whether there was any recognition on Colonel Lindbergh's part, District Attorney Samuel J. Foley declined to reveal. Suspect Remains Silent Weary and shaking but maintaining his sullen silence, Hauptrnann gave no indication of being aware that the disguised figure mingling with the score of detectives and factotems in Mr.

Foley's office waa the father of the child with whose kidnaping and murder he is linked. The meeting, which had been arranged with great secrecy, took place at 10 a.m. and lasted 10 minutes, during which the prosecutor put a few perfunctory questions to Hauptrnann so that the liter could hear him talk. Colonel Lindbergh peered at the prisoner intently but gave no indication of his thoughts. He conferred briefly with Mr.

Foley and left the Bronx County Building. When the $50,000 ransom was paid, Colonel Lindbergh, seated in his car 100 feet away saw a man standing watch. He was believed to be an accomplice of the mysterious "John" who received tha package of gold notes. Prisoner Can't Raise Bail Hauptrnann was unable to supply the $100,000 bond for his freedom, and his counsel, James M. Fawcctt, who sought futilely to have the bail lowered to $5,000, expressed no hope that It could be raised.

Judge Patterson fixed the bond at the figure asked by Mr. Foley. The $100,000 fell considerably short of the $250,000 record bail set in the Bronx, which, it had been anticipated, misht be exreeded today. But the sum is regarded as prohibitive, as far as Hauptrnann 18 concerned. Flier's Presence Concealed Colonel Lindbergh's unexpected visit to the Bronx County Buildin? was in contrast to his arrival yesterday, when he took one of the public elevators and marched through crowded corridors to th grand jury room.

Without the slightest dissension, the assembled party leaders brought their two-day session to a close by adopting a 21-plank platform which drew the battle lines for the campaign on the basis of liberalism and appealed to the electorate to repulse the challenge of reaction.

Governor Lehman was place In nomination by former Gov. Alfred E. Smith amid tumultuous acclaim. Shortly after 2 p.m. the arrival of the Governor himself threw the convention into an uproar.

He took a position before the microphone anil expressed his thanks to the delegates for their indorsement of the Roosevelt program for social progress through their re-nomination of him. Governor Renews Pledges In accepting the nomination, Mr. Lehman bespoke his deep regard for his two predecessors in the Governor's chair and pledged himself to the continuance of their fight agaiast opposition inspired by "consideration of personal interest or political advantage." "The fight to maintain progressive government is one without end," he proclaimed. "Efforts to carry it on must be never-ending. No halt can be made in the march forward.

"I make but one promise to you and to the people of the State that I will bring to my work and to the responsibilities entrusted to me my fullest devotion." The convention adjourned Immediately afterward at 2:15.

27 The Republican State Convention met here today with the bitterest factional fight in years on its hands, but with the Old Guard ap-parenly in full control and the nomination of candiadtes a secondary consideration to the ouster of W. Kingsland Macy as State Chairman. Indications now are that Park Commisisoner Robert Moses will be nominated on the first ballot tomorrow morning but so bitter is the factional feeling that even some of his supporters said they felt there is little genuine hope that, once nominated, he can be elected. Harvey Leading Rival Borough President George U. Harvey of Queens, because of promises of support from civil service and veterans organizations, has developed overnight into the strongest opponent of Moses, who was put into the field by the Republican Legislative Campaign Committee, the anti-Macy organization of which former Assistant Secretary of War F.

Trubee Davisn is chairman. Southern tier delegates, for whom William H. Hill of Binghamton is spokesman, had a conference this mornmg and although no final decision was reached it was reported afterwards that they would attempt to draft Frank E. Gannett, Roches-er publisher, as a compromise candidate and, failing that, would throw their support to Harvey. Previously they had been counted as certain to vote for Moses.

Harvey managers were extremely hopeful that given another 24 hours other up-State delegations who fear the loss of local votes with Moses as the head of the ticket will swing behind the Queens Borough President, who has three victories in a strongly Democratic county to his credit. No Help for Seabury Supporters of Mayor Rolland B. Marvin of Syracuse were also hopeful that today and tomorrow will bring a drift away from Moses to their candidate. Clarence E. King, Onondaga County leader, this morning issued a statement saying that a careful canvass of delegates revealed a majority opposed to Moses not on personal grounds but because he is not the best candidate to aid in the election of local legislative candidates.

A majority of the delegates, surveys made by newspapermen indicated, are unalterably opposed to the nomination of Samuel Seabury, chiefly because he is being sponsored by Macy. Whatever further defections from Moses may take Continued on Page 3 Democrats Attend Mass for McCooey Special to The Eagle Buffalo. Sept. 27 Friends of the late John H.

In one case the Socialists succeeded in stealing 20 rifles, but in the other, ten raiders were arrested In the act of removing larg quantities of explosive Platform Held Certain to Go Almost as Far to Left as Democrats Special to The Eagle Rochester, Sept. 27 The alleged extravagance and interference with "business of the New Deal" was assailed here today by Representative clarence E.

Hancock of Syracuse in the keynote speech delivered at the opening of the Republican State Convention. He charged that the Securities Act passed at the last session of Congress and other New Deal legislation is retarding business recovery and preventing the roll of the unemployed from decreasing. Swinging further to the left than a Republican keynoter has ever done before at a New York State convention, Hancock pledged the party to maintenance of relief appropriations and indorsement of old age and unemployment insurance. On these questions it is likely that the Republican platform will go almost as far as the Democratic platform. His speech, which skipped State Issues entirely and made no men tion of the power trust charges with which State Chairman W.

Kingsland Macy split the party early this year, was interpreted as meaning that extravagance and the New Deal would be the principal 'Republican campaign target this Fall. Relief Assailed The entire speech was broadcast over a statewide radio hook-up.

Lehrenkrauss Sons has filed against the Lehrenkrauss Corporation. Besides the half-dozen lawyers active in the litigation, more than 100 of the thousands of holders of Lehrenkrauss mortgage certificates and Lehrenkrauss Corporation preferred stock jammed the room. Later arrivals who filled adjacent corridors but could not get into the room departed disappointed. Outstanding in the hands of the public are some $30,000,000 of mortgages and mortgage certificates and $1,600,000 of preferred stock.

The agreement calls for a bipartisan nomination for Supreme Court Justice John J. MacCrate, Republican, whose term is expiring; and a bi-partisan nomination for either County Judge Algeron I. Nova or Alonzo B. McLaughlin, Democrats.

No Pact on Third For the third vacancy no agree- ment was reached. The Republi cans will nominate Justice Selah B. Strong, whose term is expiring, and the Democrats will probably name Internal Revenue Collector Almon G. Rasquin of Suffolk, formerly Suf folk Democratic leader. A representative of Frank V.

Kelly. Broooklyn Democratic leader, arrived this morning and laid the plans before Republican leaders. There followed a long distance telephone call to Buffalo, where Kelly is attending the Democratic 1 State Convention, and the tentative agreement followed. i McLaughlin In Favor Kelly is reported uncertain as to whether to pick Nova or McLaughlin, although inclining to the latter. Either will be satisfactory to the Republicans, he was told.

Police went to his rooms and found an empty vial from which about two ounces of liquid had been taken.

Samuel TJntermyer and Rabbi Stephen S.

Wise, leaders in the mass opposition of a large delegation of Catholics, Protestants and Jews, condemned the measure in no uncertain terms. Rabbi Wise called the bill "a foul insult to the poor," and charged that it was implied by its sponsors that "any money, no matter how it smells or stinks, is good enough for the poor of New York." Bill Called Immoral Untermyer, in a vigorous attack, branded the measure as immoral as well as illegal. "It means nothing but a lawsuit." he said, "with chances nine in ten against the city." He advocated a sales tax. which he said would be "painless and easily paid." A.s to the proposed transit tax. he said tile city would be cutting off its own revenue thereby, because of its interest in subways.

As to the lottery, he said: "I may say that authorities are so plain on the subject I really can't consider it open for discussion. Every conceivable evasion of the lottery provision of the Constitution has been attempted at one time or another in the last 40 years." 'Not Gambler by Nature' Mayor LaGuardia interposed: "I am not a gambler by nature. I never even played the stocks. So I don't need to be convinced." The Rev. Thomas E.
