lined this platform In detail and at
great length and many of the delegates
grew restless and noisy as he went
along.
The disorder became so great that
Chairman Robinson interrupted the
speech to plead with the delegates to
be quiet. But moment later the hall
again was so noisy that when Howell
said that Reed always had preached
against religious intolerance in its
broadcast sense" the mention of the
religious issue passed unnoticed and got
no response even from the Missouri cow
bells.

But the bells pealed out again with

WRC|N|ANS REMAIN
OUT Of PARAD|NG
Delegates Decide to Stay in
Seats because OF Split
Votes.
BY FRANK ii. FULLER.
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

HOUSTON, Tex. June 28.x-Virginians
entered the third day of the Democratic
national convention today expecting TO
see the nomination of Gov. Alfred f.
Smith of New York for President.
Though the majority of the delegation
were opposed to the nomination Of
Smith, leaders generally conceded that
he had strength enough to secure the
necessary two-thirdS majority. but were
determined that he would not obtain it
through the solid support of the dele
cation. If Smith is nominated on the
first ballot he will receive votes from
Virginia, but If another ballot is neces-
sary, Smith supporters in the delegation
expected to obtain 10 votes for their
candidate.
Remain in Seats.
A demonstration was held for the New
York governor last night without the
support of Virginia. While banners of
States trekked down the aiSleS amid a
tumult and riotous band music, Vir-
giniaS standard remained firm in its
holder. Smith and anti-Smith men in
the delegation apparently understood
that participation in the demonstration
would not be representative of the dele
CATION as whole and refrained from
outward show. Similar action was en-
pected today on the nomination speech
for Cordell Hull of Tennessee. supported
by majority of the Virginia delegates.
When Senator George of Georgia was
placed in nomination and his support
erS started a demonstration a few
VirginianS cheered for the distinguish
ed Southerner, but the majority stood
to see what 1t was all about The del
egation maintained its dignity through
out the night session and no attempt
was made to seize banners.
Virginians Cheer.
Franklin D. Roosevelt'S reference to
Virginia as the birthplace and native
State of Woodrow Wilson brought more
cheering from the Virginia delegates
last night than any demonstration.
Members of the delegation have re-
ceived kilograms from several Virginia
cities reporting that radio reception of
convention proceedings was unusually
good. Several delegates were so ad-
vised by their families, who are listen
ing to the proceedings.
