l gates. "YoC arc in no position, if you will excuse my saying so, to judge these cases here"
 Watson was interrupted several times. Demonstrations followed. Up to this time both floor and gallery were on it's feet pounding.
 Watson said he believed that Hadley would consent to refer the resolution to the commmittee on credentials when ap- pointed.
 He passed back to where Hadley stood and they passed down to the front of the platform and stood side by side amid up roarious cheering, which lasted several minutes.
 The cheering became deafening. Few of the Taft delegates participated.
 No Limit to Ovation Hadley and Watson joined in eonversa- ton with Root The ovation went forward and forward without limit. Hats were thrown in the air. One negro dele gate raised an umbrella and cast it above his head like a ships sail. The Cali fornia delegation endeavored to put up their Roosevelt banner and start around the hall. Sergeants at arms quickly halt ed the plan and the banners were stacked. The Missouri standard was kept waving In defiance. h an instance the New Jersey delegates raised their emblem in revolt. 1neSe started around Ine CollSeum tflum- phantly. Hadleys home state continued to lead. West Virginia then joined. The ovation to Governor Hadlely started running fire of talk on the floor to make him the compromise candidate for President. The Roosevelt men yelled themselves hoarse with delight Many of the so-called doubtful delegations joined in the cheering.
 One Ohio delegate grabbed the standard n baf af11 ar 5aa ai icI in front of the stand. California, Nebraska and Knnsss followed.
 The first ovation was fairly under way. All stood aghast. Governor Had1ey re- l tired from his place on the front of the stage and stood beside Chairman Root and MT. Watson near the table of the chairman. Oklahoma fell in line next. Then came Pennsylvania. Round and round the procession went circling the hall. There was singing and cheering for Roosevelt and Hadley. Some states found their standards shot to ribbons so frantic were the efforts to dislodge them. Over in the Kansas delegation a deep threat yell punetuated the demontration. We want Teddy; we want Teddy" came through the tissue of incandescent re- marks. The shout reached above the flood of sound.
 Mrs. Longworth Confused <AilSe IkOuotNtll l4OAS Npiti AAChA her seat near the correspondents booth stood up and looked out over the sea of waving handkerchiefs. She turned to her husband and hugged him. He rose without embarrassment and ap- plauded. What about Hadley7' was the insistent cry from a number in the Illi- nois delegation while others yelled. Give us the big bear" was heard. Mrs. Long, worth leaned over railing She talked to a-s1 want Teddy" It sounded also like we want Hadley." Mrs. Longworth waved friends aside to catch the words to the air. She turned and smiled at her hus- band.
 W. H. Coleman of the Pennsylvania delegation dashed to the front of the plat yelled for cheers for Hadley. He got the cheers in large measure. but the sergeant-at-arms got him and he was led off the stage by part of the Coliseum machine"
 Woman Precipitates Demonstration
 After this incident an attractive girl in white in the gallery stood up and waved q Autograph of Colonel Roosevelt. Finally in her excitement she dropped the like ness. Many of the eyes that turned to her lost none of their interest when the pie ture disappeared. The girl herself was sufficient treat. Then some one fouIbl the picture and returned it to her and the cheering which had died away for the instant was renewed with vigor. Re- porters made rush to find who she was. 1t was Mrs. w. A. Davis of Chicago. Old-timers of conventions said they re- membered nothing like this since Min , nie Murray of Iowa, the famous woman in white, stampeded the democratic con- vention in 1896. As climax to the demon- stration in which she was the center of affrarfiOn Uu bro41qlaf fo the convention floor by several delegates. An attempt was made to lift her over tho press seats to the stage, but sergeants-at- arms prevented this.
 But Mrs. Davis from the press section led the cheers still holding her picture and trying to make a speech.
 Senator Root occasionally pounded with his gayel on the table, but made no seri- ous effort to stop the demonstration. Tho demonstration had been in progress 10 minutes and Mrs. Davis had disappeared from the floor when Chairman Root di- rccted the officers to restore order.
 Mrs. Davis, somewhat rumpled, re- turned to the galleries.
 Sergeant at Arms Stone and Assistant Chief Schuettler of the police department, patrolllng the center aisle, succeeded in getting most of the delegates in their seats by BAT o'clock Policemen in the gallery were endeavoring to restore quiet in the vicinity of Mrs. Davis. She with drew for a moment in the company of an officer and the crowd hssed what they thought was a forcible removal of the feminine enthusiast. In a moment she returned to her seat to receive an- other storm of applause.
 The Second Test Vote
 When quiet had been restored and after Governor Hadley had made a brief state ment, MT. Watson moved to refer to the credentials committee the motion to seat the 29 Roosevelt delegates. Governor De- neen moved to amend so as to provide that no contested delegates should vote on the membership of the committee on credentials or on its report MT. Watson moved to table the motion of Governor Denneen. The motion is not debatable. Are you ready for the question:" called Senator Root
 William Film demanded a roll call on the motion to table and it was ordered.
