FAVORItFsONS HAVE THEIR DAY (Continued From Page One) the getaway gun this morning as the fourth session of the democratic national convention began. Ry the first test vote cast late yesterday on a question of adjournment, the anti-McAdoo forces showed that they were sufficient cohesive to beat McAdoo out of a two-thirds majority for the nomination if that is their prime objective. By a similar token, the great demonstration for Smith, staged at intervals through the long session yesterday, the most the New York executive can hope for is the vote of some 15 state s and territories, totalling 424 votes, far short of enough to nominate. That was the aggregate that by the longest stretch of the imagination could he regarded as participating in the unprecedented demonstration accorded Smith on the floor. Thirty-nine states with 674 votes, sat silent, watching the show. i As a rsult. the different delegation leaders this morning were considering the future on the basis that McAdoo was eliminated, that only a stampede could nominate Smith and that the party must lie selected from <>u idde the list of those most di-cuss-ed as strong possibilities. John W. Davis, according to those measuring the availability of candidates. would not be able to withstand the attacks of William Jennings Bryan. Senator Underwood, they say. is not to be seriously considered. For the moment, therefore the list potential "dark horses” has dwindled to the following: Senator Thomas Walsh, Newton D. Baker. Senator Samuel M Ralston. But in the background stands Jarno* M. Cox. of Ohio, the standard bearer of four years ago. Cox made a gallant fight In that campaign against the devastating raids of a situation in which the dominant Issue was desire for a change and In which, for one reason or another, he could not command the financial support of the mainstays of the party. * Many of the delegates who attended the 1920 convention at Ran Fran cisco which nominated Cox believe he should lie given another chance -a real try. under more favorable circumstances. At 11 30 an hour after the convention was scheduled to come to order, the spectators* reservations were sparcely settled, although moat delegates were In their neats. A large drawing of Cordell Hull, national com mlttee chairman, was suspended from the gallery directly opposite the speaker's stand and the spotlight played on It. Chairman Walsh slammed down his gavel calling for order at 11:41, The galleries were only partially filled when quiet was obtained and Chairman Walsh in'reduced Rev. Dwight W, Wylie, pastor of Central Presbyterian chart h of New Work to deliver the invocation As the convention got under way It was noticed that George Brennan. Kd. Moore, Thomas Taggart and others of the anti McAdoo forces, were not In their neats. After a few announcements by the secretary, the call of the roll of the states for nominations and seconds wan resumed. Minnesota led off in the person of William J Quinn, of lit Paul, who seconded the nomination <if Al Smith Quinn got a big hand la mentioning

Smith’s name and there ere whistles, 1 cheers, npplause and the inevitable band. I The roll cal) was resumed. Mississippi yielded to Ohio. There was an 1 outburst of applause as it was realizI ed the standard bearer of four years ago was about to be placed In nomination again. Newton D. Baker mounted the platform and virtually all the delegations on the floor rose to their 1 feet and cheered. | Baker's speech was frequently interrupted by handclapping. His first mention of the league of nations brought a sharp outbreak of cheering, handclapping and finally, one after ' another, the delegations with the ex- ; ception of Wisconsin, rose to their feet, waved flags and applauded. Baker denounced the klan and brought a number of the delegations to their feet but it was not anything like the tempestuous outbreak of two , days ago when the klan was named for the first time before the convention. | I When Baker named Cox the Ohio de- I ! legation jumped to its feet, waving' hats, handerchiefs and fqns. The I I cheering was general throughout the hall and Individuals in many delega- ' , tioEa stood up and shouted and ap- ■ plauded. William P. Maloney of Montana, in I la seven word seconding speech for Smith, made a great hit although hil ! i hoarseness resulting from yesterday's I demonstration made his voice 'u I 'audible to all but a few. He said "I i 't-.'cond the nomination of Governor j ' Smith.” Governor Samuel Stewart of Mon- , tana then took the platform and sec- I onded the nomination of McAdoo. There was quite a demonstration. A i I pretty girl in a green dress. Miss- ; Hortense Blecker, of Houston. Texas. led the cheering In her section. She > honped ©n a chair and waved a lar,”' , silk American flag. Eugene D. O’Sullivan of Omaha , was recognized when th? call of the roll of states reached Nebraska. O'Sullivan put in nomination Governor Charles Bryan of Nebraska, brother of William J. Bryan and better known around the convention as "tall man In glasej who wears the black skull cap. I O'Sullivan brought in once again the mention of oil but it passed unnoticed.by the convention. The speaker declared that Governor Brrr.n stood for such principle" that “the chaplain of this con*' -ntlor; could read from the 23rd psalm the word "Thou annointest my head with oil” without starting a riot. He referred to Coolidge as "our accldenffii president” ' “He dn-’es things.” was O'Siilllvat'r slogan for Bryan. New Jersey was next on the roll snd John A. Matthews of Newark mounted the platform to nominate Governor Filter. He was given a big hand when he mounted the platfo in and frequently was applaud 'd d ir- ' ing the speech. When Matthews concluded, Miss Marion Baker of Jersey City a Iwnutlful young woman In black, leaped upon a table on the sp'ak'r's stand ord held up a large portrait r I ftltxnr. However, eyes were on I <•’ I rrth»r than ’he picture. New Jerenv delegatca nided by ' rnoten' brigade, swung into a r-tr'de • ground the hall, waving Mixer placards over the crowd.
