control New Hampshire delegates climbed upon their seats and yelled vigorously. One Iowa man of the Hearst instructed delegation from that commonwealth stood up and waved his hat frantically and wild chorus an- swered him.
 Three cheers for Grover Clevelandp' shouted an Alabama man. and they came with genuine power and enthu- siasm. No cry came from Nebraska Here MT. Bryan and his friends sat quietly without taking part in the noise. Again and again the cheers came in dense volume despite numer- ous cries of ''order' and the strenuous pounding of the chairman's gavel.
 Then MT. Williams sat back and watched the scene he had created. A the cheers and cries fell there would be a renewed outbreak. The demon stration lasted eight minutes.
 Elected from the Hall
 A man named Murphy, standing in the center aisle, and encouraging the demonstration, was first requested to take his seat and then elected from the hall by I. J. Mastin, sergeant-at- arms. Murphy was rushed toward the platform by Martin. through railing
  under the stage.
 Another encounter between Martin and Murphy took place in the passage way under the stage. Murphy then per- mitted himself to be taken from the hall by two officers.
 Murphy said he endeavored to assist in securing quiet. but his efforts were misunderstood and at the direction of Sergeant -at- Arms Martin he was forci- ply elected from the floor by police officer and landed among the news paper men. Here he endeavored to ex- plain that he had been acting in the interest of quiet and order, but his ex- planation fell on deaf ears and despite his approximation and threats he was finally taken from the building by the police in charge of Captain Schroeder.
 Williams Threatens to Quit.
 For several minutes after the Mur- phy incident, the demonstration con- tinued. Finally in desperation, MT. Williams threatened to discontinue his speech.
 "You have placed me here. am your servant. If you want me to continue 1t is your pleasure" he cried. This an- nouncement was effective and MT. Will Hams secured control of the demon stration his mention of Cleveland had caused, the applause dying slowly out.
 When he said he had heard that Dewey. schley and Miles were Demo- crats; that a Republican administra- ton had snubbed the first, tried to dis grace the second. and insuited the third, the convention again broke out into shouts and applause. By this time Mir. williams's voice was failing. It grew weaker and he was heard with difficulty even by those very near the platform. MT. Williams flow of oretory was uninterrupted for some time. response of applause followed his denunciation of the Re- publican claims of prosperity because of the tariff. Cries of "louder" were heard in various parts of the hall. sEaf zs fIfa.vesce Gsze. z
