STEVENSON NOMINATED.
Named ON the Frat Ballot for Woo
President.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 6.-The final;
day of the national democratic o
yention opened clear and hot, and the
crowd began to gather early. Long
before the convention was called to
order the vast auditorium was packed.
At 1916 Chairman Richardson
brought the convention to order.
Rabbi Mayer, Of Kansas City, offered
prayer.
at the conclusion of the prayer the
roll call for the nomination of vice
president began. Arkansas yielded to
Illinois for the purpose Of placing
Stevenson in nomination.
The confusion had become SO over
powering that all business was sus-
fpended. The police and the sergeants
at arms struggled yainly to quiet the
mob, which got well nigh uncontrolla-
BILE. Men fought to retain their
places, and there were many exciting
encounters. 1T took fifteen minutes
to restore some semblance Of order,
and then the spokesman for illinois,
Representative James Williams, pre-
sented the name of Stevenson. Will
iiams spoke rapidly and briefly, and
Mt the mention of Adlai q. Stevenson,
Illinois was on its feet cheering Wild
ly. Kansas was up also, MS were Ala!
bama, Arkansas and a large number
of delegates in different parts of the
hall.
The applause vas vigorous, but did
not last above q minute.
Townc's Name Presented.
The roll call reached Connecticut,
and that state gave way to Minnesota
amid cheers. i. A. Rosing, of Mime
sofa, then took the platform to pre-
sent the name of Charles a. Towne.
When he pronounced the name of
Towne there was cheering from the
Minnesota delegation, which rose to
it's feet, waving flags in frantic fash
ion. The galleries joined in the APP
plause with %fervor, but there was less
enthusiasm among the delegates.
Iiitl Ur.cdsto Isun.
While the galleries were enthusing
over Towne there was IN excited lit
tie group aboutsthe chair of ex-Sen-
ator Hill. Init was Croker.
You must take the nomination and
save the day." said Edward Murphy,
excitedly.
4 cannot, I cannot" replied Hill,
his face white and set. II do not
want it,"
you must take it, said Croker,
leaning owe him, while Norman Il.
Mack and Frank Campbell held Hill,
one on each side, and urged him to
accept.
An excited man from New Jersey,
shaking his finger under Hills nose,
shouted: 49,
you can't refuse. You can't re-
fuse! The party must have you to
save u.s.
II don't want it. You can name
Stevenson. He's as good us I am
said Hill.
Then turning to Murphy and Gro
ker and gripping his hands lie said:
"Please don't force this; please
don't.r
Murphy then gave an indication of
n prearranged scheme to nominate
Hill by saying to the excited Jersey
man: Co.
"You keep quiet; it will be all right.
We have it fixed"
Meanwhile the confusion continued
to be SO great in the hall that evsn
after the chairman had recognized
| Governor Thomas of Colorado, to sec
ond the nomination ofaTowne, not a
word in his speech could be heard.
Finally former Senator White went
to the stand and in a, ringing voice
warned the convention that If order
was not restored he would move that
the galleries be cleared.
Grady %l,rese,its Hili'ssName.
Governor Thomas then proceeded.
When the state of Delaware was
called the announcement was made
that the state would yield to New
York. Then the result of the Hill
conference was apparent. Tremend-
GUS shouts Of applause swept though
the hall, Delegate Grady, one of the
leaders of Tammany Hall, assembled
the platform and his first sentence
rang through the great building in
trumpet tones:
.sOn behalf OF the democracy of
New York, i present to the conven-
ton for the nomination for vice pres
sdent, the name sof David Bennett
Hill.'
IT was dramatic in the extreme.
His words set the convention in a
frenzy of enthusiasm. The scene
which followed was by far the most
|tempestuous of the session. The
name of Hill echoed and re-echoed
throughout the hall. State standards
were seized and held aloft. delegates
and spectators cheered and the great
structure fairly shook with the noise.
Hill meantime had worked his way
through the surging multitude to the
platform. He asked Grady to yield to
him to make a statement but Grady
refused. Judge Van sWyck hurried to
Hill and began an earnest CONVERSE
ton with him, urging him not to de-
clint sSthe nomination, which evidently
seemed to be within his grasp. Hill
shook his head. When finally Grady
was permitted to proceed he snid5 that
Hill might decline 'but decline or
not he shouted,s.New York,s united
and solid 72 votes will be cast to the
end for him.
Asks Jones 10 Stcii8s the Tide.
While Grady was speaking Hill
askedssto see senatorsJones and when
the chairman Of the national comit-
tee came the ex-senator said to him:
Tones, stop this thing. Its nos
wise. 1t should not be insisted upon.
Help me stop it,
Jones said: y will help you. GO on
and decline and Ill help you. I'll see
the delegation leaders.
