The tumult of unrestrained enthusiasm which accompanied Judge Parker's en- trance to the Garden was in contrast to the close attention given him during his speech of not more than half an hour. While his address was punctu- ated by applause, the throng which nlied the Garden to its capacity was markedly considerate in it's treatment of the candidate. He had but to raise his hand to gain control of his audience. Though his voice was not strong, he could be heard In every part of tho building. eso<

 Two hours before Judge Parker was scheduled to arrive at Madison Square Garden it was evident that therc would not be one seat vacant in the mammoth structure. At 4:3o p. m. the line in front of the Madison Square entrance began to form. The doors were not opened until o'clock.

He suggested that he would speak when they would let him and stop when the people wanted to cheer He congratulated the New York Demo- crat for the part they played fin the national campaign, praising Mayor Me Clellan and Judge Herrick.
