Madison Square Garden, New York. June 26.--Having given renewed but brief demonstration for William c. McAdoo, the democratic national convention today plunged into a rip- roaring demonstration for Alfred F.. Smith. Like the principal McAdoo demonstration of yesterday, the Smith demonstration was aided and pushed along by e complete organization of demonstrators, hundreds Of whom marched Into the hall from the out side bearing banners and noise-mak- ing devices. Galleries and guests sec- tons obviously filled with friends of the Now York governor for today's event, sent up a continuous series of yels howls and whistles No sooner had Franklin D. Roosevelt finished his speech placing the New York gov- ernor in nomination than the racket broke loose Bands. rootcrs armed with megarhones. cheer leaders, sing CTS and others with all the equipment of professional demonstrators burst into the damned aisles and began a procession about the hall From points of observation on the speakers stand. Ii appeared that probably half the delegate space was taking part in the demonstrafioa | 'hoT hy contrib. uting to tke nnrchih, parties which bore various state -tnfidards, CT by standing on chairs and waving flags and joiniug in the cheering.
 The other section Of the delegate space. apparently interested in look ing over the show, stood up. too, but gave no evidence of joining the Smith movement. In the machinery Of the outburst about every device seen here tofore and many new ones appeared. Children as young as three and four years were used. some of them were dressed as ragamuffins, others as newsies all ot them had automobile license plates hung around their necks bearing the words Al Smith"
 T6n fathers who presumably had rented the children out for the occa- sion. tried to balance some or them on the high rail about the speakers stand i5 feet above the floor with the result that the youngsters were fright ened and beloved Justify After some experiment the children were re- moved.
 Although states standards were car lied into the procession. the delegate spaces remained well filled while it was going on. Tn galleries, the pro- fessional demonstrators and the root CTS who had been packed into the gal- Iories up under the rafters and into every nook and cranny on the floor. made the bulk Of the noise and at times actually drowned the band.
 DeadlukesI in Advance
 Deadlockcd in advance and its fight ing fever mounting. the democratic national convention was called at t0:so today to drive forward with the reception of nominating speeches while platform builders heavy eyed, shrugged on with their weighty task.
 This was another day Of tumult and frryor. interspersed with oratory. only three nominations had been made when yesterdays adournment ended inc one hour demonstration staged on behalf of William c.
