women and boys who filed the Garden isse hsH'
had no burning interest IN Mr.. Hearst or IN the
platform, which he declared would guide him In his
campaign irrespective OF the platforms OF lhe Po-

stood UP on seats and waved flags. While ths oaho
worked at fever heat.
The noise was kept up while Mr. Hearst was led
across the floor to the platform. 1t was continued
while he went through the motions Of appealing for
