SMITH OVATION SETS NEW RECORD (Continued From Page 1) 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. “East Side, M eet Side” Now and then from out the bedlam a’group of men would manage to be heard in unison—"the sidewalks of New York." A band would pass a given point. "East Side, West Side" it played, and then passed from sight and hearing. When the demonstration had been under way for twenty minutes, it was precisely as enthusiastic and loud and unanimous as it was with the opening shriek. There was real enthusiasm, by hundreds of men and women, only a relatively few of them, however, delegates. The deafening demonstration for Smith was not confined to the convention hall, but soon began to spread throughout the lower end of town, particularly all about the Gardens. Volunteer hands began parading. Thousands of persons were packed in Madison Square Park listening to the radio installed there. Straw hats were thrown into the air: men and women started marching and singing. Autos and special wagons, with radio equipment erected on top, moved slowly through the streets so that the noise of the Garden demonstration was soon reaching every nook and corner of the city. The greatest crowd that ever packed Madison Square Garden was Jammed into the structure by noon. Police lines were thrown about the building. What seemed to be thousands crashed through the doors without tickets and flooded the galleries. All of them were Smith boosters. Doors Barred By 12:15 the police cancelled all credentials. Newspapermen were barred and delegates and reporters who happened to leave the hall could not get through the line again to return. Another band. This time it was "Tammany." another famous Tammany campaign air. Cheers for Roosevelt. Cheers for Miss May Kennedy. the convention vice ehairman. The demonstration ■"/ hen it reached the thirty-minute ma:k was still sustained. Miss Kennedy started throwing her roses from the speaker's platform. Parts of the Missouri delegation, all of the Kansas delegation, remained seated throughout the demonstration. either out of respect for their own favorite sons or in loyalty to McAdoo. A similar course was followed by Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Indiana, Alabama, part of Illinois and most of Texas, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, Maine, Tennessee, South Carolina, West Virginia, California, Oregon, Canal Zone, Maryland, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, and North Dakota. Asa matter of fact there were relatively few delegates in the marching hosts —most of them here for the most particular reason to vote and were of the opinion that if they left their seats they would never get back from the milling throng alive.
Tex Rickard Watches Tex Rickard looked on the scene within the Garden in amazement. Tex has put on some of the biggest fights the world has known, and has staged many big shows, but he declared the sight presented in his Garden tpday surpassed anything he had ever witnessed. So tremendous was the pressure of shuffling, dancing feet that the massive beams and rafters of the old garden swayed and creaked and the air in tne basement below was filled with a fine dust shaken from walls and ceiling. George Brennan of Illinois took part in the procession, shouting with the rest of them. Confetti, dropped out of the galleries on the crowds below was buoyed up by the wind over the skylights and dropped like snow on the roof of the garden. It gave the appearance that it was snowing outside. Senator Copeland, who is mself mentioned as a possible dark horse, joined the procession and kept in line for five laps around the garden. When the demonstration had lasted one hour there wasn’t the slightest evidence of abatement. A huge basket of flowers was taken from the speaker’s platform down through
the center aisle to a box directly across the hall, where it was noted Mrs. Smith sat in reservations not so far from those of Mrs. McAdoo. Submission of the floral tribute j was followed by a special demonI stration of the marchers in front of Mrs. Smith's seat. The spotlight turned on Mrs. Smith east its rays also over Mrs. McAdoo, who sat less than ten feet away. After the demonstration had continued for one hour and fifteen minutes. Roosevelt gave the first signal to the marchers to quiet down. There was an immediate reduction of noise, then Chairman Walsh began pounding on the table for order. Miss Case Sings Miss Anna Case. Metropolitan i Opera star, stepped to the front of | the speakers’ rostrum. A hush fell | over the great throng, which a mo- ■ ment before was a deafening bed I lam. “Oh, say can you see —” went ■ up in silvery tones from the throat j of the noted soprano as the band j softly played "The Star-Spangled Banner.” j Then to the chorus —“sing everybody," called Miss Case, and once ! more the Garden welled up with the | anthem. The demonstration appeared to be liver. Then, from the boy’s band over on the far side of the Garden | came suddenly from the silence East Side. West Side” —the din was I on again. i A few minutes later Roosevelt i again went to the front of the platform and ordered the bands to leave by the nearest exists. The Smith j door generals stood on chairs and : signalled for quiet. Once more the sirens and other shrieking instrui ments were silenced. Walsh obtained order at 2 p. m.. j and the call of the roll of States was : resumed. Saulsbury Nominated Senator Bayard, in a brief speech. I placed in nomination former United States Senator Saulsbury of Delawa re. Florida, called next on the roll, i yielded tc Missouri and Chairman Hay of St. Louis was recognized by ; the chair. “I’m sure if there is a radio at I the White House there will be soon j inaugurated there a campaign for a j protective tariff on enthusiasm and a crusade against loud and unusual noise,” Hay said. Hay in a short and spirited address seconded the nomination of William G. McAdoo. The call of the roll of States proceeded to Illinois when Louis Stevenson was recognized. Stevenson I declared Illinois had McAdoo boosters. supporters of Smith and friends j of John W. Davis. It was the first mention of the I name of Davis, who has been menliioned its a very strong dark horse possibility. It drew scattered applause. Then in nominating former Secretary of Agriculture and Treasury David Houston he declared he was forced to make the nomination as a matter of courtesy to prove “that Illinois is not boss-ridden.”
Smith Seconded Michael L. Iggoalse of the Illinois delegation followed Stevenson and announced he was to make a brief seconding speech. He did it —for Governor A1 Smith—and got a great hand for his efforts. In relating the virtues of Smith, he uttered the first direct statement on “oil” as affecting a candidate to some from the platform. One thing about A1 Smith, he said, is that “he is untouched by oil.” In conclusion he said “out in our part of the country the people are all for your idol, your A1 —for AlfrecKß. Smith.” The sirens cut, loose again. Once more yells, waving of flags and bedlam. But there was no further parading. The din died down in a few moments under signals from the New York delegation floor leaders. Still another of the Illinois delegation—James A. Meeks of Danville —was recognized. He MeAdoo’s nomination on behalf of the McAdoo element in the Brennan delegation. The galleries were beginning to thin out some. Van Nuys Speaks Indiana was called next on the roll and Frederick Van Nuys of Indianapolis mounted the platform and placed In nomination Senator Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana, the first, second and apparently last choice of Tom Taggart for the presidency. Chairman Walsh, after calling the convention to order at 11:23 o’clock, introduced William W. Borter, member board of lectureship, to deliver ,the Invocation. He then turned over the gavel to Miss May Kennedy of the Bronx, elected yesterday as the first woman vice chairman of a national convention. Standing coolly behind the microphones at the front of the speaker’s rostrum, Mist, Ken-
nedy made a short address —a woman’s keynote. Faces Great Crowd A tall woman, all in white save for titian hair peeping from under a small white felt toque and beautiful red roses and lilies at her side, she faced tne greatest crowd that has attended any session of the convention to date. Miss Kennedy concluded her speech with the following words: "The secretary will proceed with the calling of the roll.” Governor Sweet of Colorado was recognized anil seconded the nomination of William G. McAdoo. Seconding speeches were not expected and there was considerable surprise and mingled applause* and hoots from the floor. As Sweet mentioned the name of McAdoo, Kentucky pulled up a standard and started a parade as the band started playing “Over There.” California and the other McAdoo States fell in behind. The galleries, all jammed with Smith folks, didn't think much of the performance and were for the most part silent. The stunt apparently was a surprise, but when the Smith galleries began booing, Franklin D. Roosevelt raised hl3 hand to silence them. "Take off your hood, we know you.” Smith rooters shouted at the McAdoo marchers. Order was obtained after a few minutes of rather desultory clamor and Sweet went on with his speech amid outbursts from the high galleries filled with Smith rooters. “I won't go on without order,” Sweet said, turning to Walsh, and wheeling on his heels, strode back, up and down the speaker's runway. Walsh Helps Out Walsh stepped into the breach to relieve Miss Kennedy. “I trust." Walsh said, "our guests in the galleries will observe such decorum as is expected of them.” The New York delegation arose and applauded this admonition. Order was restored and Sweet went on. Sweet declared that no greater service had been rendered the country by any man either In this country or overseas than that rendered by Mr. McAdoo. "Unless we choose a progressive.” he said, “there certainly will be a third party that will go out into the West from Cleveland on July 4.” Sweet concluded and the State of Connecticut was called next on the roll. "Connecticut yields to the great State of New York,” the chairman shouted. -v A terrific din split the Garden from end to end as galleries and floor seemed to rise in one tremendous outburst of violent noise. Franklin D. Rosevelt stepped forward to the front of the speaker’s rostrum and by a wave of the hand brought science promptly out of the bedlam. Such was the organization of this great demonstration—and augury of what was to come later. The Smith demonstration began as soon as he had finished.
Smith Supporters Gather Smith fans had been properly forewarned to get here early so as to be assured of a seat in the galleries When delegates arrived to take their seats they discovered that on each chair had been carefully place p small green covered pamphlet without any inscription on the outside. Opening it, in large black type, were these words: "Kentucky’s raes sage to the K. K. K.,” an address by John F. Hager, Protestant-Mason Democrat, president of the Kentucky Bar Associaiton. One paragraph read: “The principles of such an or ganization are at war with our most cherished beliefs and are sub versive of our institutions. To suffer lawless Ku-Klux Klan bands to veil their identity, enact their \>wn system of laws and without trial punish the victims of their wrath, in enmity or suspicion, is to abandon the citizens of our ..republic to oppression in its most hideous form.” The third day of the convention began with the promise that nominations would continue throughout the day. Taggart in Control Behind the scenes and over the convention floor, however, an old, tried and shrewd politician is moving into quiet, but complete control of the situation. That Is Tom Taggart of Indiana. While other leaders —Brennan and Ed Moore, for example—have been stirring the waters over the Klan issue, Taggart has remained silent. While Brennan and others have boomed and boomed for Smith as the nominee, Taggart has said nothing. Taggart was one of the old time triumvirate of Democratic politics —Roger Sullivan of Illinois and Charles Murphy of New York being the others. He and Sullivan were turning political wheels when Brennan was but a Sullivan lieutenant in Cook County. Taggart may not win the nomina-
MEETING IS NEAR END Evangelist Speaks at Seventh-Day Adventist Session. The Seventh-Day Adventist convention and camp meeting at Bethany Park, Brooklyn, Ind., neared an end today. “What Must I Do to Be Saved” was the subject of a sermon by H. A. Lukens, evangelist, of Indianapolis Wednesday night. “The so-called Christians of the world are not real Christians because they do not come into intimate contact with Christ through His Word,” he said. “This is the great failure of churches of the world today.” FILLING STATION BANDITRY REVIVED 0 Two Men Hold Up Attendant and Take S3O, After a lull in filling station holdups for nearly a'week, Wednesday night saw a revival of the banditry. C. C. Knopp, attendant at the Standard Oil station at Tenth St. and Senate Ave„ told Sergeant Dean he was telephoning when two colored men entered. One pointed a gun at him while the other drew a knife. They ordered him to open the safe he said. They took S3O and overlooked S2O. The men disappeared in an alley. Frank Bogard, 24, of 34 Fleming Ave., was charged with intoxication after he reported being slugged and robbed. Picking up two colored men at Eleventh and West Sts., Bogard said he had hardly driven a block when one of the men struck him with a black jack and the other took $34.

BANK CHARGES FORGERY Name Signed on Checks Five Times, It Is Alleged. Harry Roberts, 49, of 6 N. Keystone Ave., was arrested by police today on a forgery charge, preferred by the branch bank of the Fletcher’s Savings and Trust Company, 2812 E. Washington St. Bank officials told police Roberts presented a check signed by Mrs. Pearl Huntsinger, 2937 Moore St. They said it was the fifth check to which Mrs. Huntsinger’s name had been forged. Boy Bicyclist Held On complaint of Ted Lippencott, 219 W. Thirty-First St., a 14-year-old boy was arrested today and taken to the detention home. Lippencott said he recognized a bicycle the lad was riding as one which had been stolen from him. City Budget Discussed Data being collected for the scientific budget for the city by L. V. Harrison, secretary of the civic affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce, was discussed at a meeting of the committee today at the Chamber of Commerce. William Fortune, president, presided. tion for Senator Ralston of Indiana, but already his silence has pointed the way to a modified anti-Klan plank which will not name the organization directly. He knows what a bitter class issue would do to both the national and local campaign—particularly the latter. None who knows him well was surprised when he held aloof from Brennan’s candidate while Brennan was making anti-Klan medicine to beat McAdoo. See Candidates During this period, Taggart moves among the candidates. He called on McAdoo late Wednesday. He ex pects to visit with Smith today or Friday. He is on good terms with them all. Taggart, by his Independence, holds the whip hand in this convention.
SMALL SUM IS ; TOTAL LOOT IN AYRESRDBBERY Check Shows Between $235 and $250 Taken by Bandit Gang, The total loot taken by the gang of yeggmen who blew three safes in the L. S. Ayres & Cos. store early Wednesday today was ascertained to have been between $235 and $250 and one expensive hand bag, according to Victor Kendall, secretary - treasu.-er. The bandits had stacked up about $20,000 in money and $5,000 in goods, but left most of the loot when police suddenly arrived. Detectives were tracing a number of clews to the gang, estimated by the two watchmen and three bakers made prisoners in the raid, to have included from four to eight men. ' -gs
THOMAS THOMPSON Thomas Thompson, 27. Decatur, 111., captured when he ran from an automobile in the rear of the store just as police arrived, refuses to talk. Inspector of Detectives Mullin said, other than to say he came here Tuesday from Cincinnati. Detectives Dalton, Garringer, Roach, Fossatti, Radamacher and Allen were tracing threads of evidence. Among these were identifications by hardware store employes of some of the tools left by the robbers as having been purchased here Tuesday morning. The de*actives also have two straw hats, a coat, a high-pow T ered rifle and the automobile left by the robbers. It is believed by detectives that at least one of the gang formerly worked in the store, since the gang appeared familiar with the inside layout. Thompson’s $7,000 bond was increased to $20,000 today upon arraignment before City Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth. Increase of the bond is believed to bq the result of an attempt Wednesday night, by an attorney reputed to be “a highpriced man,” to talk to Thompson at police headquarters. He failed. Police believe members of the gang are still in Indianapolis, backed by considerable money, and are attempting to obtain Thompson's rlease on bond. “Peeping Tom” Escapes A "Peeping Tom” was standing at the window of a bedroom at the home of Mrs. W. H. Watts, 60 Kenmore Rd., when she w-as retiring early today. she told police. She saw the man, screamed and he ran, she said, and as he ran she got a fair description of him. No trace was found after a search of the neighborhood by officers.
