ard of New Jersey and then by that
of Connecticut, and that of Rhode
Island. The siren was set going as
the Wisconsin and Minnesota stand
ards, followed by those of Vermont,
Illinois and Pennsylvania joined ting
cluster in the center aisle. Alaska
started moving over to join in the
demonstration, but when the terri
torial standard reached the rendeZ-
Vous it found that the others, with
New York in the lead, were circling
the hall in a bowling parade. A
couple of the big Autographs of
Smith were hoisted in the parade
and when Senator Walsh undertook
to bring the convention TO order it
paid no attention to him.
Gallery Gods Noisy
TO the tune of East Side, West
Side" the parade kept up a swift
march around the big arena and the
Smith demonstrators in the galleries
got in some Of their noisest work,
as If determined before they called
it day to give the governor q r0us-
ing farewell send-off. The New York
standard was the first to return to
its place and long after it had be-
come stationary the standards of
the other states were kept bobbing
about IN the din despite the ham
nerlnS of Senator Walsh and the
threats OF sergeants-at-arns.
Hawaii Joined the parade after it
haG Deen in progress for a quarter
of an hour and the Smith gallery
forces gave the far away island ter
rltory q cheer.
When he finally got the conven-
ton hall fai>iy quiet, Senator Walsh
read the delegates and the galleries
sharp lecture.
If We cant transact our business
in this city," he said, the chair
viii entertain a motion to so some
where else"
From the Kentucky delegation,
Governor Fields made a point of or
der that there were people on the
floor who had no business there. The
chairman said that such a point OF
order would be we'll taken if the
presence of such persons could be
clearly established, and amid gener-
al confusion ordered the clerk to go
ahead with calling the roll
The convention secretary, inter
Venlns, read an announcement from
the platform committee saying it
could not report before tomorrow.
Michigan then was called and A.
M. Cummins took the platform to
present the name of Senator Ferris.
1t was MichIsan's turn now and
her delegation stood up and cheered
for minute while the state stand
ard was kept dancing to a. lively
song by the band.
Bruce kremer, of Montana. moved
that the convention adjourn until
$50 p. M, and there was some ap-
plause and a lot of objection from
the floor. While the motion was
pending, John j. Fitzgerald, of New
York, was recognized and argued
that no night session should be held
because of the entertainment pro.
gram that had been arranged by
the New York democracy. He moved
to amend the adjournment motion,
so as to make the adjournment un-
til tomorrow morning. Chairman
Walsh put the question on the
amendment and it was greeted by a
loud chorus for the amendment and
then by another of about equal vol
ume on the other side. The chair
man could not decide who had a
majority and ordered a roll call
The first motion was to adjourn
until $50 tonight and that was
amended to adjourn until 1880 to-
morrow morning.
The roll was called and those vot-
ing aye were voting for the adjourn
ment until tomorrow.
AT the outset of the voting it was
apparent that the McAdOo forces
were voting against adjournment
until tomorrow and in favor of CON
tnu1nS the session tonight and that
the Smith forces and their friends
were voting for the adjournment un-
til tomorrow.
New York Seeks Delay
The talk about the platform was
that the New York delegation want
ed to delay the possibility of ballot
ing until after the Ku Klux Khan
issue had come up in the platform
fight on the floor When the roll
call got down to Missouri the vote
was running neck-and.neck.
New York s ninety votes in favor
of adjourning until tomorrow threw
the proponents of the adjournment
into the lead. Ohio's forty-eight votes
were first given in favor of adjourn
ment until tomorrow, but the vote
was challenged from the floor and
the state was passed until later.
When the roll call came to the
Philippines and their votes were cast
in favor of adjournment until to-
morrow, Bruce Kremer, Of Montana
challenged the right of the delegates
to vote. Questioning developed that
the vote was cast by T. r. Ansberry,
of Washington, D. C. The chair or
dered the vote recordd as cast by
th alternate. Then f.. IT, Moore,
of Youngstown, Ohio, challenged the
right Of the Panama Canal zone del
egates to cast six votes in the CON
VentiOn on the ground that the CON
vention four years ago limited the
canal zone to two. The chair over
ruled the challenge.
The Arizona delegation got into
a tangle and was polled While the
halloting was going on some of the
McAdOO leaders were on the plat.
form in conference with Chairman
Walsh. David Rockwell, Mr.. Nc
Adoo's campaign manager, and
Bruce Kremer, floor manager for the
McAdoo forces, made suggestions to
the chairman during tne roll cali
and delegate yelled from the floor:
Who's chairman up there, any
way"

Deadlocked in advance and its
fighting fever mounting. the con-
Vention was called at 1890 o'clock
today to drive forward with the re-
ception of nominating speeches
while platform builders, h-avy-
eyed, struggled with their gghty
task.
This was another day of tumult
and fervor. interspersed with ora
tory. Only three nominations had
been made when yesterdays adj
journment ended the one-hour dem
onstratiOn staged on behalf of Will
linn G. McAdoo, and about seventeen
remained on the schedule, including
