Bender) (United Press Staff Correspondent) MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. New York, June 26—" Our own Al. Smith." The magic words touched off an explosion in Madison Square Garden just 32 minutes after 12 o’clock today unprecedented in the history of groat political conventions. In solid mass the New York delegation leaped to Its feet as Franklin Roosevelt concluded his speech placing Smith in nomination. From every corner of the garden—floor, ceiling and, it appeared, from every seat—there arose the deafening shrieks of sirens, blare of horns and whistles, rattle of ticktacks and through it all. there could be faintly heard the mad efforts of several bands. The parade got under way. New York’s delegation in the van. and the New York banner borne aloft by Joseph Collins, president! of the board of aldermen Alaska. Massachusetts. New Jersey, Connecticut. Illinois, Minnesota. Rhode Island. Wisconsin. Pennsylvania, Nevada. Vermont. North Dakota, lowa, and Hawaii were among the standards which fell into the line. Now and then from out the bedlam a group of men would manage to be heard in unions—" The sidewalks of New York.” A bund would pass a given point. Rast Side. West Side.” it played, and then passed from sight and bearing. Just constant, sustained noise swept everything before It. The defining demonstration for Gov. Smith was not confined to the convention hall but soon began to spread throughout the lower end of town, part'cuiarly all about the garden. Windows were raised and bales of tkk-r tape and scraps of paper came flutering down. It was like a ' storm. Volunteer bands began parading. Thousands of perosns l>acked In Madison Square park listening to the radio installed there. When the noise of the demonstration inside came sweeping out these thou sands Joined In.
