 AUDITORIUM, San Francisco; June 3O.-After hearing 10 candi- dates placed in nomination for the presidency the democratic national convention after an eight-hour ses- sion today recessed until II o'clock tomrrow.
 John w. Davis, ambassador to Great Britain, was the only man on the list of those for whom nominat- ing speeches were to be made who was not reached on the days pro gram.
 The candidates placed in nomina- ton were Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, Senator Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock of Nebraska, Homer s. Cummings, chairman of the demo- cratic national committee; William c. McAdoo, Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, GoveEnoE- Ed ward l. Edwards of New Jersey, Secretary Meredith, Goverhor Cox of Ohio and James w. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany.
 Heaps ot Demonstrating
 The big demonstrations of the day came with the presentation of Pal mer, Cox and McAdoo, although there was a spontaneous outburst with the presentation of Governor Smith.
 The Cox and Palmer demonstra+ tions were fully expected and looked for, but the McAdoo nomination com ing after days of uncertainty as to. whether a nominating speech was to be made for him or not, added an element of interest and surprise.
 One Hour of Rowling
 It was easily the loudest, longest and most tumultuous demonstration of the lot and kept the convention in an uproar for the best part of an hour. Dr. Burrus Jenkins of Kansas City, who was ready to place the former secretary of the treasury in nomination, finally decided to yield to the wishes of MT McAdoo and not make a nominating speech for him. He simply explained the situa ton to the convention in one of the shortest speeches on record and merely announced that he resented MT. McAdoo in nomination fully as sured that if drafted for the service of the nation, he would not refuse the nomination.
 Echoes and Splashes
 From time to time the convention got echoes of the wet and dry fight being waged on the outside behind the closed doors of the platform com mittee, but it devoted itself wholly with getting the nominating speeches out of the way and clearing the decks for consideration of the platform to- morrow.
 Davis Comes to Fore
 On reconvening tomorrow, the business of placing candidates in nomination will be resumed with the prospects of the mamie of John w. Davis being the only one presented. The platform committee convention leaders hope, will be ready to report at thIt time, and the convention can then dispose of the platform and pro cted to balloting for a presidential nominee possibly tomorrow night or Friday.
 Many of the friends of Ambassa- dor Davis felt the presentation of his name tomorrow before a convention refreshed by a nights rest gave him an important advantage.
 Cochran Starts Riot
 When w. Bourke Cochran placed Governor Smith in nomination the veteran New York orator got rous- ing reception. EulogIzing Governor Smith as one whose lie and charac- ter offered fin itself a perfect plat form" MT. Cochran said:
 Il nominate here today man who personifies democracy, a man who has risen from a peddler's wagon. to the governorship of the great state of New York and he has never lost a single one of the friends he has gained since his youth. He is known 10 everyone high or low as Al Smith. /
 There was a lot of old-time demo cratic oratory in the speech and il made hit with the delegates and the galleries. The New York dele gates led in a brief demonstration nj
