TAR HEEL STATE STEVENSON.
After Washington came North Caro-
Ina and then John l.. Shea, of New
York, managed to make his voice heard
as he called out: New York changes
her entire vote from Hill to Stevenson
This simply pulled out the plug and
broke in by end and all the State delega-
lions at one time and the roar that went
up was deafening. Then in rapid sue
cession, the following States changed
their votes to Stevenson in the order
given:
California, North Dakota, Nebraska,
Hawaii, Florida, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Connecticut.
After that they all made a rush for
the coming candidate. The cheering while
the first changes We're being made was
enthusiastic in the extreme. A procession
was formed to march around the hall,
but the long session that had preceded
the nomination Of Stevenson and the eX-
citing scenes of yesterday had worn the
delegates out, and the parade was short
in length and still shorter as to it's
line Of march and the delegates confined
themselves FOR the chief part to cheering.
The vote of the three leading candi-
dates before any changes We're made
was as follows:
Stevenson, 55915; Hill. 200; Towne. S91A.
While changes of the various States
We're being made pandemonium reigned
in the hall. Delegates and alternateS
stood on their chairs, and throughout all
of the galleries people were standing and
cheering. Practically the entire delega-
ton from New York headed by Mr..
Croker, left the hall. Women and chill
4ren and other spectators who had been
standing in the aisles during the pro-
ceedings and a lot of superfluous spe-
cial officers and pages, swarmed over the
delegates section. When order had been
partially restored the floor section OF
the hall bore more the appearance of a
miscellaneous gathering than a p~olitica.
