 Franklin D. Roosevelt responding for New York. had been given a place on the platform just back of the chairman and he had to be lifted from his chair when he rose to make his nominating speech for Smith. On crutchcS he made his way forward to the speakers stand and stood there supporting himself by leaning for ward over the pulpit-like table that had been placed there for him.
 II was five minutes before the cheering stopped and he began his speech. The demonstration came from both floor and galleries, nor was 1t confined to those who are in sympa- thy with the candidacy of Governor Smith. There was in 1t the touch of q personal tribute 10 the man who had fought and lost with James NJ. Cox in 1920 and who for years had been a loyal party worker.

 Mr, Roosevelt retired from the platform, apparently believing the | demonstration at an end. but inst then a hand somewhere around the edge Of the big amphithGater struck up The Sidewalks of New York" and the whole performance started arnin. The Autographs of Governor smith and the state standards began their oebbing progress about the hall.

Senator Walsh finally got the audience quiet. and when he said he hoped the guests in the gallery would cuurteously treat all of those who appeared on the platform. the New York delegation took the lead in the applause from the floor Standing fin their places, the New York delegates ciappcd their hands and chccrcd trc chairman.

DAVIS MEN HOPEFUL
Believe That Towards the End of the Week His Campaign Will Gather Strength.

! New York, June 26--Makers of the John W. Davis campaign for the democratic presidential nomination moved down Madison Square Garden today confident that he would emerge toward the end of the week as the man chosen by his party to reconcile It's conflicting ideas on candidates. The West Nirgnian was to be placed in nomination during the day, but 1t was still somewhat of a mys- ieFy what would be said of him by Judge Holt to whom the task was en- trusted. Contrary to the usual rule. advance copies Of the nominating speech were not available.
 The Davis men enjoyed them- selves matching up tickets in a specu- latiFe way to md vice presidential running mate for him. There did not appear to be anything more than speculation behind their statements. however.

 Madison Square Garden, N. Y.

 Registrar Thomas J. Smith of New Britain, Conn, and Mrs. Laura P. Mangan, also of that city. are strong advocates Of Smith.
