 During the demonstration over the change in the Michigan vote. Smith became aroused when a delegate tore down two pictures of Governor Smith and threw them on the floor. a.7-=
 In fight that followed over the state standard Mrs. Maidee B. Renshaw of Pittsburg, was struck on top of the head by the standard. She was slight ly wounded and was removed from the hall after her wound had been dressed.
 Announcement that McAdoo had climbed to the $50 mark gave his sup porters opportunity for another demon stration. There was q cheer and q waving of flags and the another march around the hall was started by the Texas delegation in which many other states participated. When the tally clerk announced that Governor Smith had received 335 on this ballot-3115 below his maximum-the signal was given for Smith demonstration in which the galleries joined with con- tinued' cheers and roars. Stage Parade
 Smith supporters among the dele gates staged a march around the arena and in it's course they gathered their state standards around that of New York, paying to the Empire delegation the usual homage. ..
 Oklahoma and Michigan gave Mc- AdOo the bulk of the votes which went to make up his gain on the sixty-ninth ballot. Oklahoma has been voting al- most continuously for Senator Robert l.. Owen of that state. while Michigan increased to 25 the 715 votes it had been giving McAdoo.
 Long after the Smith delegates had concluded their part of the demonstra- tion, the galleries carried it along. Chairman Walsh rapped for order time and again-this time with a gavel with stationary head-but the galleries kept up their chant I've want Smith, we want Smith," Order was finally restored and the announcement of the votes given the other candidates pro- ceeded.
 The Seventieth
 On the seventieth ballot Governor Sweet of Colorado challenged the accur- acy of the announcement of the chairman of the Colorado delegation and a poll was ordered at the end of the roll call.
 The Missouri vote was also chal- lenged and it was passed to await a poll at the finish. North Carolina dropped Daniels on this ballot, adding vote and a half to McAdoo and one vote to Davis.
 West Virginia went back solidly to it's native son, John W. Davis, thus talk ing one vote from McAdoo and one from Smith.
 It developed that the trouble in the Colorado delegation was over whether Mrs. Agnes O'Day Beyon, delegate at large, should vote half vote or full vote. Governor Sweet objected to her casting an extra half vote for Thomas l.. Girault, who was absent and and his objection was sustained.
 As the result of the poll McAdoo re- ceived 21s votes; Smith, 31a Davis, 4 i; Underwood, 1. This was loss of 1 vote for McAdoo and a half vote for Underwood, with a gain of half vote for Smith. One vote was not cast. The totals for the final ballot of the night gave McAdoo, 52S1a Smith, 334.5; Davis, G.
