This assertion started another
storm. The New York delegates join
ed with Indiana in cheering Hemen-
way, while Finn was on his feet
shouting in defiance. His delegation
was cheering him loudly. Root came
TO the front and personally rebuked
Finn
IF the gentleman from Pennsyl-

charges and his statements, he said

an orderly manner"
Root pounded for order, but Finn
insisted on recognition. Snatching a
megaphone from a delegate he shout

gentleman from Indiana is not speak

Root did not hesitate second.
Pointing his gavel at the Pennsyl-
vanian, he declared:
The gentleman will take his seat.
Finn stood his ground.
Smashing the table again and again
with his gavel, Root announced:

sonally before the national commit

room where only hand-picked dele.

One OF the Wisconsin men pro-
tested that he could not hear and
said that the confusion was due 10
the fact that ii was lunch time. He
asked recess until three p. m. but
a howl Of noes came from every sec

ued his argument, putting the mo-
ton out OF order.
