At IL 20 p. m., 80 minutes after the

The keynote speech was delivered
by former Gov. Martin HI. Glynn of
New York, the temporary chairman.
He was frequently interrupted by ap-

stirred the enthusiasm of the dele
gates. His eulogy of President Wilson
started the biggest demonstration of
the day. Following Governor Glynn's
speech, committees on credentials, per-
