 Break In New York
 In a break in the New York delega- tion McAdoo received two votes of the 90 for which 36 ballots have been cast steadily for Governor Smith.
 This started the N1cAdoo supporters off on another demonstration.
 The two delegates breaking to Me Adoo were Lathrop Brown~o of St. James and Roscoe Irwin of Kings town.
 Other than the break in the New York delegation, by which McAdoo got two votes out of the 90, threr were few changes on the thirty-seventh bal lot. South Dakota went solidly for McAdoo, giving him a gain of one vote there.
 At the end of the thirty eighth bal lot and riotous session in which Will liam Jennings Bryan declared for Will liam G. McAdoo amid roars of "oil, oil, oil,' the convention adjourned its day session to reassemble at s o'clock tonight.
 Still Keeling
 Keeling under the effects of the bom- bardment and counter-attack which swept the convention when Bryan took the platform for Vim. G. McAdoo, the convention reassembled for the thirty ninth ballot.
 The eject of Bryan's move and the storm which accompanied it. was the sole topic of discussion among the lead CTS when the>~ convention assembled.

There was an agreement on all sides that if anything had been necessary to solidify the Smith people, it was Bryan's reference to the necessity for q candi- date whose position was right ''On the liquor question:
 It was obvious that Bryan had brought out on the floor of the conven- tion subject which the McAdoo people had no relish for throwing into open debate-the oil question and the tax re- fund cases.
 Senator Walsh of Montana. a declared supporter of McAdoo, had given way in the chair for the night session to Sena- tor Walsh of Massachusetts, declared supporter of Smith. so that he may be cleared sof any embarrassments for clearing the galleries of Smith rooters if they became so unruly as to stop the convention proceedings. At S15 o'clock Chairman Walsh be- gan gavelling for order; silenced the band. and announced that Dr. Freder- elk H. Knubell of the United Lutheran churches would lead in prayer.
 The New York Police Glee club then sang some songs. They sang beauti- fully, as if to illustrate that some part of the policeman's life may be and can be happy one.
 The policemen closed their entertain. Iment with a medley of old songs conclud. l ing with "The Sidewalks of New York. v It looked risky in Smith house but the only effect was to draw Iusty cheer from all the Smith delegates in the convention hall and in the galleries Now to serious business" declared
