 SAN FRANCISCO, July G.
 Franklin D. Roosevelt of New
 York, assistant secretary of the
 navy, was nominated for vice
 president today by the Democratic
 national convention and became
 the running mate of Governor
 James M. Cox of Ohio, the Demo-
 crats' choice for the presidential
 nomination.
 The first cries of Cox and Roose. velt' rang through the convention hall and were mixed with the shouts of the vote of exclamation by which he was nominated without a ballot.
 Despite the disinclination of the Tammany organization to accept him. Roosevelts name went over with q band wagon movement during which all other candidates were withdrawn.
 James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois was withdrawn early by former Governor Dunne; Governor Stewart of Montana announced his own withdrawal; Ed- ward L. Doheney of California, and former Governor Hawley of Idaho were withdrawn and Major General l.. D. Tyson of Tennessee in person an- nounced that he would not be a con- tender, as did David R. Francis of Missouri. Nomination of w. T. Vaughn of Oregon. who had received state primary endorsement, was changed into a second for the suc- cessful nominee.
 Bainbridge Colby, secretary fo state who was considered as candidate and refused to allow his name to be used, finally was urged to consent if he should be drafted" As it fell out, the Tammany crowd decided to accept Roosevelt, who brought to the ticket the participation of an administration man, and MT. Colby's name was not considered further.
 Mr. Roosevelt was placed in nomi- nation by Timothy l.. Ansberry, for mer representative from Ohio who sat as a Cox delegate in the District of Columbia delegation. Seconds sprang from all parts of the convention hall, and although Roosevelt was not for mally nominated until after the busi- ness of nominations was taken up, there was never any doubt about it and never at any time was there any op- position. The seconding of his nomi- nation by Governor Smith of New York from the Tammany delegation clinched it.
 Senator Robinson of Arkansas. per manent chairman of the convention, was appointed chairman of the com mittee to notify Governor Cox of his nomination and Chairman Homer $. Cummings of the Democratic national committee was appointed chairman of the committee to notify MT Roosevelt. After it's tumultuous session of A ballots the convention reassembled at noon to finish its work There was at first a delay utilized by the Cox man agers to hear from the governor about | his wishes on the vice presidential nomination. E. II. Moore of Youngs- town, Ohio, who managed the gOver- | nor's fight, let it be known that Cox was willing to leave the selection of | his running mate to the convention. With that the forces easily and quickly l coalesced and after Roosevelts nomi- nation applauded an appreciation of him by his chief. Secretary Josephus | Daniels.
 | During closing moments of the con- vention the usual formal resolutions l affecting the national committee and l the convention organization were | adopted with a resolution expressing the thanks and appreciation of the convention to the city of San Fran | cisco.
 Chairman Homer Cummings of the Democratic national committee said:
 'The convention reached its result | in a truly democratic manner, the ! forces, purposes and opinions, repre- sented by the delegates had full play l and reached an uncomfortable result. | It was a long, hard contest, but 1t | leaves no scars and the candidates will have the united support of the party.
 san Francisco redeemed every promise that was made in her behalf and in many respects far exceeded our 1 expectations. There were some who doubted the wisdom of holding q na l tional convention on the Pacific coast Actual experience, however. has re- moved all doubt
