The reading Of this letter created considerable
( excitement and the names as they were read
/ called forth loud cheers from the partisans ci

the tenants Of the gallery. The delegates knew
they were there TO vote for Van Wyck and they
evidently thought it would not look well TO
cheer for one man and vote for another

: The cheers for Charles w. Dayton amounted
to demonstration of really considerable pro-
portions, and it was apparent that the ex-Post-
master the popular choice of the specta-
tors Hugh J. Grant was next in popularity
with the cheerers. but Judge Truax also had

have perfect confidence that II he IS nominated
he will be elected. What Brooklyn will do for
his success will be shown when the ballots are
counted on election night
The chairman rose 10 ask for further noni
nations but before he could do SO James j. Mar
tin suggested that in order to facilitate the bust
ness Of the evening the rolls should he called
and that each delegate should record his ind-
vidual preference for the candidate named In
the resolution. This suggestion was anerward
put In the form Of resolution and was carried
Mr. Sheehan's name was the first called by the
secretary. and the Tammany leader without
further ado cast $50 votes on behalf OF the dele
gates for Manhattan and the Bronx for Judge
Van WICK Bernard J. York followed Mr.. Shee-
hans example and cast the solid Brooklyn vote
Of 30 for Judge Van Wyck. There were some
Kisses for Sheehan.
THE UPROAR BEGINS
Then the uproar began. John j. Foote. dele
gate from the XXIst Assembly District Of Brook
lyn. Jumped to his feet and vigorously protested
against Mr. York's summary action. storm OF
mingled cheers and Kisses broke out from every
part of the hail. and. still gesticulatng and
shouting. Mr. Foote made his way to the palt-
form He claimed the right TO he heard. n priv
lege that was at once accorded TO him by the
chairman The clamor. however. continued. and
It was impossible for the delegate to make his
voice heard beyond few feet. The chairman
vainly raped with all his might for ORDER ana
to add to the confusion. Mr.. York. standing just
under the platform, was reckoning the chairman
to proceed with the rollcall
Eventually when there came q lull In the out
burst the chairman announced that Mr.. York
had raised the point Of order that. according TO
the rules Of procedure. no speech could be made
during the calling Of the rolls except by the
chair. The Chair is Of opinion that the point
Of order Is well taken" continued Mr.. jerks
| "and asks the convention to sustain the Chair"
Mr. Foote who had not ceased trying to make
himself heard worked himself almost into a
frenzy at this thwartng Of his protest. "All
desire" ne shrieked, above the noise OF the
audience, sis to have my name called.
FOOTE DECLINES TO GO.
The chairman. without paying heed to the
request motoned Mr.. Foote from the platform
but the latter throwing his hat upon nearby
chair refused to move Again Mr.. jerks raped
for order and, with so much vlgor that he broke
his gavel. The chairman was rapidly losing his
temper and. turning 70 Mr.. Foote he shouted
The delegate must return to his seat or / shall
have him removed from the platform by force
Recognizing the futility Of attempting to gain
a hearing, Mr.. FoOte slowly, and still railing at
the injustice that had been done TO him In de-
. priving him OF his vote, left the platform.
When something like quiet had been restored
! the delegation from Queens cast its entire vote
Z OF twenty-five for Judge Van Wyck. and the ten
votes OF Richmond went in the safre direction
Thereupon the chairman declared Judge Van
