form and urged the delegates who
had been pledged to them to sup
port the Presidents candidate. Gov.
Stark of Missouri and Senator
Byrnes of South Carolina, other
principal contenders, also withdrew
after the President had spoken in
Washington over the telephone 10
his personal representative here,
Secretary of Commerce Hopkins,
and to Senator Byrnes, floor leader
Of the Roosevelt forces.
In the end it took only one ballot
to nominate Mr.. Wallace. But pan
demonium reigned in the conven-
ton hall at times during the two
hours prior to the actual balloting.
The vote of the convention was
made unanimous on motion of Sen
ator Bankhead of Alabama, brother
Of the Speaker, Mr.. Wallace's prin-
cipal opponent. Prior to that a
number Of delegations had sought
leave to change their votes so as
to give them to Wallace. But not
all OF them.
Roll Call Results.
The roll call as completed ac-
tually showed the following results:
Secretary Wallace, 627.7 votes,
Speaker Bankhead, 29.262s votes;
Mr.. Jones, SO votes; Mr. McNutt,
$685. votes; Senator Adams of
Colorado, 111a votes; James A. Far
ley, votes; Senator O'Mahoney,
3la votes; Senator Barkley of Ken
lucky, 2 votes; Senator Brown,
vote; Bascom Timmons, Texas news
paperman, l vote; Senator Lucas,
l vote: Assistant Secretary of War
Louis johnson, vote, and Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, / vote. 1t
took SGT. or majority of the votes
cast to nominate.
Immediately after Senator Bark
ley, chairman of the convention,
had announced that Mr.. Wallace
had been elected unanimously,
the delegates listened to the address
delivered by President Roosevelt
from Washington accepting the
nomination.
Mr.. Wallace also was prepared to
deliver a speech of acceptance to
the convention. 1t had been dis
tributed to the newspapers, but be-
cause of the lateness of the hour
and also because of advice not to
attempt to address crowd that
was, in part, hostile to him, it was
decided that Mr. Wallace should
make his acceptance speech at a
later date.
Nominations DictatiOn Obvious.
1t was obvious, made doubly so by
statements of withdrawing candi-
dates to the convention itself, that
the nomination of Mr.. Wallace had
been dictated from the White House
and had been acquiesced in by the
Roosevelt leaders here.
1t was tragic moment for Mr..
McNutt. Had the convention been
left free to make its own choice,
the nomination might easily have
gone to the former Hoosier Gov-
ernor. He had great deal OF
strength among the delegates and
the galleries were with him. But he
went down the line for the Presi-
dent in this matter.
The Roosevelt family was we'll
represented at the convention last
night. Mrs. Roosevelt had flown
from New York to appear and speak
to the delegates. With her came
