BY FREDERIC WILLIAYM WILE, NEW YORK, June 25 Two terrific storms broke over Manhattan Island on Wednesday afternoon. Both of them cleared the magical swiftness. One. which came first. was the Ku Klux Klan cloudburst in Madison Square Garden. its devastat- | ng made in the Democratic convention stand out thenceforward with crystal clarity 1t showed that the convention is bel ligerently determined to the Klan out into the open, where it can be discussed. and then, as far as the Democratic party concerned, de molished. No cloudburst. atmospheric or political. ever cleaned things up | more thoroughly The other storm was purely mete- | orological in character. Inspired by the lesser gods in Madison Square Garden, Jupiter Pluviu: ewung into action 'immediately after the convens tion had adjourned for the day. Then sweltering, suffocating New York was bequeathed a thunderstorm and a del- | uge of rain which turned the me tropolis instantly from equatorfal into semi-arctic temperature. | By nightfall men and women were more comfortable than at other time this week. | Predicts Blow at Kian. With little risk of heing confound ed by subsequent events even in thi kaleidoscopic situation, the following results ¢ be sct down as having been accomplished by the sky-clean- tng storm in the convention hall: 1—The assurance that an outright | anti-Klan platform plank will “be | adopted with wild enthusiasm, if and | when it is submitted to the conven- tion by the committee on resolutions, The delivers of a body-blow to the McAdon movement, unless, seeing the ~ handwriting on the rden walls, the Californian bows to the in- evitable and accepts anti-Klanism, horse, foot and drageons. 3. The unexpected Senator Oscar ' “nderwood bama into the front rank horses. 4. The certain elimination of Al Smith from the presidential on the ground that it will be utterly impracticable to write an anti-Klan platform and also to put a Roman Catholic candidate on it. 5. The creation of a_doubt of Sen- ator Ralston’s availability because Indiana. the strongest klan state in the north. could hardly be given the presidential nomination with a_plat- form that excommunicates the Klan. Speech May Be Historic. convention old hand now is New York recalls an episode which, unsupported by other developments, caused such a chain of results. Thus, Forney Johnson's speech of nomina- tion for Oscar Underwond is certain to become historic. Neither ~John- con mor the Alabama senator in their fondest anticipations expected such consequences. Everybody knew that the convention is filled with anti-Klan sentiment. But few author- ities thought Madison Square Garden could be charged so tremendously with forked lightning as Under- wood's anti-Klan manifesto charged it Men and women who lived through that fifteen minutes of frenzied, spontaneous demonstration will not soon forget it. It was the real thing. Tt was miles removed from the stage- manager, organized sort of hullaballoo that ensued a couple of hours later in honor of McAdoo's presentation to_the convention The first impulse among politicians and the convention public generally Wwas to conclude that the anti-Kian explosion makes Senator Underwood the logical candidate for President. That and remains merely a firsi- blush impression. The Alabaman's Stock has risen. There is no doubt about that. His name last night was on every lip. It is almost as uni- versally mentioned today Underwood Seen Weakened. But for the same reason that anti- klanism in the platform eliminates Smith and jeopardizes Ralston, it alxo militates against Underwood. This is how that argument works out. The convention is manifestly bent upon smashing the Klan, hip and thigh, and tagging, ticketing and labeling the invisible empire. ‘That is as far, however, as the wisest Democrat lcader, and especial- Iy the anti-Klan leaders, think the party ought to go. It would be crowding the mourners, they say. not only to write an anti-Klan platform in New York, but also to nominate some conspiciously anti-Klan candi- date for President to stand upon that platform. Thus, Smith vanishes from the picture, and, with him, if the argument be sound, goes Underwood, too. Take Ralston. Not the least ele- ment of strength claimed by the Hoosier senator's friends, like Tom ‘Taggart, is that his nomination would insure the Democracy the pivotal state of Indiana in November. But would it be a 100 per cent insurance policy, if Ralston headed a ticket placed in the field under the banner of militant anti-klanism. Kian Strong in Indiana. ‘The Klan is better organized, po- litically, in Ralston's state than any- Where else in the country. Ralston might come nearer winning Indiana than any other Democrat on an anti- Klan platform, but even “Honest Sam'’s” popularity among the Hoosiers would be_ subjected o & dangerous strain it he asked them to send him to the White House pledged to war to the knife on the Klan. And thus and therefore the dark horse brigade bounds into the fore- front. Its leading figure is the man this observer has seen in that posi- tion _from the outset—John W. Davis of West Virginia. If the available cam@idate's right to the nomination is to be measured by the yardstick of the Klan, Davis qualifies. He is not on record as either a pro-klansman or an anti-klansman. He is a Demo- crat. He has not asked to be nomi- nated He has merely sald he was ready to be drafted. If he is drafted, he will be drafted on the convention's terms. . 1f those terms require a nominée on an anti-Klan platform, there is noth- ing in Davis’ past to make it impos- sible or impracticable fof him to bear the standard. The trend towanrd him is as plain as a pikestdff in New York: and it has been all week. The Davis band wagon will be the easiest thing in the world to_ fill, once it begins even to move. In delegation after delegation there is notorious Davis second choice strength, only waiting to detour when the impossi- bilities of leaders like McAdoo and Smith are visibly demonstrated. Virginia Seem For Davia.

While in the Republiean national convention the vice presi- dency @nd the platform were the only problems to deal with, here the Demoerats find the Ku Klux Klan issue and the naming of the candidate for first place so overtopping in im- portance that one scarcely hears whisper of talk over the vice presi- dency. Delegates Tired and Broke. To put a little human interest in this dispatch it may be said that the convention seems to be getling very tired and likewise, some of the dele- gates say, “Roing broke” very rapid- ly. There is no gouging here, rates being high normally and only a lit- tle advanced, but most of these peo- ple are not sccusctomed to paying New York prices and they are flab- bergasted as they see their bills soar- ing into unaccustomed figures. Yesterday was a trying time upon all hands. The heat in the conven- tion hall was simply appalling and the session was long. A violent thun- derstorm at night cooled the atmos- phere, but the tpmperature was ris- ing again this nforning. The conven- tion is approaching the time when night sessions will be necessary and delegates and visitors will have to swelter through long roll calls. CUTS INTO McADOO STRENGTH STARTED (Continued from First Page.) length as the activity of his own sup- porters on the floor passing out flags and bunting in preparation for the demonstration. But except for the fact that the flag waving proved Me- Adoo had not yet been eliminated, and that he had more than one-third of the delegates, the demonstration was futile. and the same may be said of the claborate plans for the Smith demonstration, for the assembled delegates are not the panicky kind 1o be swept of their feet by fireworks. They are controlled by small groups of leaders whose combination of maneuvers may force a dark horse into nomination in the end. At the moment the McAdoo-Smith people retain more than 800 delegates. Talk of dark horses is as vet only talk and largely guesswork. for the leaders themselves concede every- thing is still in the laps of the gods.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. NEW YORK, June 26.—Some day the politicians who run conventions may learn that artificial demonstra tions can be detected with the naked e And some day those nominating - speeches will be strong enough to suppress.their desire to orate and will tell the delegates what really want to know ahout the respective candidates. And some day—maybe a week or two or three hence—the Democrats will nominate a candidate for the presidency and vice presidency. But judging by what they did yesterday they evidently have no respect for time or the suffering of the 12,000 people who crowded Madison Square Garden and sweltered in the torrid zone for four and a half hours. Demonntration Artificial The demonstration for McAdoo, which lasted an hour, had only about five minutes of real enthusiasm in it. The rest was manufactured and aided by hired bands and emploved cheer leaders. Today the delegates who be- lieve in Al Smith gave vent to their feelings for five or ten minutes and spent the rest of the das trying to outdo the McAdoo demonstration and give the outside world the impression that the crowd was with their candidate, too. The speech in which Senator Under- wood was nominated was well round- ed. but too long. The mantion of the Ku Klux Klan in the midst of | the speech gave the delegates who | dislike that organization, to put the | idea_ecuphemistically, an opportunity t0 express their emotions. 1t was a spontaneous demonstration, probably the only one of the day. It showed that this convention feels bitterly on the Klan issue and wants a plank adopted which will tell the world how it feels, who make in elan Speech Studied. _As for the speech made by former Senator Phelan of California, a lead- ing Catholic from the coast, it was a studied effort to disabuse the minds of the thought that McAdoo favors the Kian, even though many of his delegates do. It is said that there are more than 140 members of the Ku Klux Klan seated as delegates in t convention and that most of them are for MeAdoo. Mr. Phelan told how friendly McAdoo had been to Catho- lics, Jews and negroes and in a sense recognized the existence of the preju- dices which have been mobilized against McAdoo here. What the convention really wanted to know, however. it wasn't told. Is the taint of oil going to be a factor in the campaign if McAdon is nomi- nated, and how do McAdoo's friends reconcile his relationship to Do- heny with the keynote speech made by Senator Harrison in which he pro- claimed as the issue of the cam- paign the whole oil controversy? Mr. Pheian pointed to the record of William Gibbs McAdoo in office as the best index of what he will do i given a position of publfe trust again. As former Secretary of the Treasury and. director general of railroads, Mr. McAdao had an opportunity to prove what kind of an official he would be again. He has the enmity of big bu. ness ‘becausé of his friendship for labor. It is his biggest asset here. The force fighting him are numerous and powerful. _Vance McCormick savs even the Pennsyivania road did not hesitate through certain subordinate officials to take part in the effort to have the delegates from the state of Pennsylvania favor kome other candi date. Nevertheless the banner of the Keystone state was in the parade for McAdoo today. His strength in that state, however, is negligible. Wilson Conmeetion an Amset. Through vesterday's proceedings every mention of the name of Weod- row Wilson brought applause. Four vears ago McAdoo's relationship to Wilson was a iiability. Today it is an advantage. In the platform committee, however, there is a wrangle. Some of the dele gates want to straddle the league is sue. It may be carried to the floor. There are delegates who want to accept all the glory of the Wilson mantle without assuming any of its responsibilities. It is doubtful whether this convention will adopt a plank which leaves any doubt on the com- mittment of the party to American membership In the league of nations with proper resetvations. Owen D. Young, who sat with Charles G. Dawes on the unofficial commission which has been helping to solve the reparations troubles of Europe. has been urging the platform committee to declare for an afrma- tive foreign policy, leaving the ma- chinery to be devised later. Mr. Young is an ardent Democrat. His name wasn't mentioned in Cleveland as being responsible for the feport of the unofficial commission which was therer called the “Dawes report.” His appearance here may be the be- ginning of an effort by the Democrats to challenge the Republicans for claiming the results of the commis- slon’s work as a Republican achieve- ment. 1 Strategy Changes Few. The strategy between the various candidates showed little change or progress last night. The chief value of the McAdoo demonsration was that at least 400 delegates partici- pated in it. He has about 200 more who will ultimately vote for him after “favorite son” ballots have been taken. Until McAdoo's strength has been taken from him—which may be the case after ten or fifteen ballots, but which has not yet been assured— the chances of the other candidates are zero. McAdoo may be forced out of the race in the end, but his dele- Zates did not act yesterday as if they would desert him even if they had ta stay jn session all summer. (Copyright, 1924.)

As the hour set for opening the comvention passed some indi tons of the coming demonstration began to appear also on the convention floor. Entrances Jammed. At all the entrances to the arena where delegates are seated speial sergeants-at-arms hung out the “Delegates only” sign, but somehow or another many of the men and women who had ceme to the garden to whoop it up for Smith, the of New York Democracy, got past the crowded aisles, just as the McAdoo rooters had done at yesterday sion Shortly after 10:30 Permanent Chairman Walsh appeared on the platform. took a look over the floor and galleries and then went back- stage again to wait until the bulk of the crowd had arrived He had shed the long-tailed suit of black in which he took command yesterday, and was attired in white Rannel trousers and a blus serge coat, his usual Senate chamber rig. Delegates Come Slowly. At thet hour not a third of the dele- gates were in their places and the galleries were filling up but slowly he unwritten law that prescribes at nothing about a_ national con- vention shall come off on time was working, and those on the platform seemed to be making no preparations To cali for order. Again today a wide expanse of the glass roof of the Garden had been hauled back. o that the delegates could look out directly on the biue 5 And the sun. too, could look rectly in. Today. however, the roof opening had been made in a different place and the hot rays which vester- day wilted the bright sunflowers worn by the Kansas delegation were shifted across the middle aisle to light up New Jersey. Roosevelt Given Cheer. The band went through its usual preliminary concert, and in the midst of it Franklin D. Reosevelt, who was to make the speech nominating Smith, was helped up the steps to the platform and was given a cheer from the floor and gallerfes There was a touch of pathos reflected in the faces of many delegates who had not seen him since the San Fran- cisco convention of four years ago, when he was nominated for the vice presidency. Then he was among the most active of all the delegates, a central figure in several demonstrations, and a vigorous, athietic man in the prime of life. 'Today, after months of suf- fering from paralysis, he literally had to be lifted up the staircase by two strong men, and his face was drawn and deeply lined. Calls for Order Igmored. The aisles stil” were crowded with delegates who wanted to talk over this or that overnight development and with workers for the candidate: An army of sergeants-at-arms used their best persuasive powers to i duce the grinding mass of humanity to disperse and leave the aisles free, nd Mr. Walsh hammered away with a will. There was some small show of success after the effort to bring the convention to order had been in progress for five minutes, but just then a glee club stationed in a high gallery overhanging the stage began to sing “Hast Side, West Side through megaphones, and confusion reigned again. It was the first time the unofficial campaign song of the Smith backers had been heard in the convention, and the galleries echoed it and applauded the singers. A momen; later a shriek Jke the call of a shrill factory whistle” came from a ‘half-hundred throats in another gallery, followed by cheers for Al Smith. Senator ‘Walsh, banging away in the midst of the bedlam, stopped a minute to care- fully tighien up the head of the gavel evidently fearing he had loos- ened it from its shaft by his vigorous pounding. The only answer to the chairman's rat, tat, tat was another succes- slon of shouts, songs and clangs from the galleries. On the floor, too, con- fusion persisted, but it apparently grew chiefly from the efforts of late arrivals among the delegates to squeeze their way through to® their seats. The paraphernalia that had been planted In the delegate in- closure yesterday for the McAdoo demonstration had no parallel today. Nearly all of the Smith demonstrat- ing machine seemed to be in the gal- leries, at least for the time being. Band Drowned Out., YLong ago the band had become dis- oouraged and cut off 1ts concert. The sompetition from the Smith rooters about it was too much for it. From one song to_another the glee club went through the Smith campaign songs, and when they swung_imte "flnfl Hail, the Gang’s All Here” Senator Walsh retired temporarily from the speaker’s stand to walt for a more favorable opportunity to con- tinue his appeals for order. Smith Bands Loudest. Outside a group of Smith bends ar- rived alongside the garden and the blare of their militant musis floated in with a volume that aimost drowned out the condert of the con- vention's own, which was completely surrounded by Smith demonstrators in a far gallery. On the floor fresh bundles of American flags like those oty given %t In e galaks v SN idol | were passed around in the York delbgation. The gallery watchers spotted the preparations and let out another cheer. Trumpets and cowbells chimed in with a raucous accompani- ment to the band as it attempted to play grand opera selections, and the delegates greeting each other on the floor had to shout to one another to make themselves heard. The preliminary staes of tribute to Smith were riding a rising wave of noise and disorder. From its first fecble squeaks and scattered yells. echoing across the vast amphitheater, had mounted to a continuing |¥rowl that kept the long steel gir- ders of the garden reverberating and 1ok enmplete possession of the pro- ceedings. Gavel Hend Flies Into Crowd. At 11 o'clock Senator Waish began poundirg for order, pounding so hard {that the head flew off the gavel ‘and landed in tne crowded aisle ten feet below him. Almost by a miracle nobody was hurt. Senator Walsh slammed the headless handle of the {gavel down on a chair beside him, seized another and went to work again. stide, the Town. New Westmide, Al Around answered the Glee Club to the chairman's best efforts and then they wound up with three | cheers for Smith and took their seats. |3 moment later the hall was quict ana William W. Porter, C. §. B. of the board of lectureship of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Sefentist. in Boston, was pre- sented to pronounce the invocation. He asked the delegates and spec- tators to stand in silent prayer for a moment, and to join with him in repeating the Lord’s Praver. Resumption of the calling of the roll for nominations for President then was in order, but there was a short delay Wwhilé the convention secretary read some announcements, including an invitation to delegates to attend a reception this afternoon at Tammany Hall. Woman Addresses Crowd. Miss May Kennedy of the Bronx, [named vice chairman of the conven- tion yesterday., was introduced by enator Walsh and made a_short speech thanking the delegates for the honor and predicting that the women of the nation would help to swell the tide of Democratic victory in Novem- ber. She was dressed in a pleated white sown trimmed in red and car- ried a large cluster of pink roses. The convention gave her a cheer when she rose to speak and repeat- edly interrupted her with applause. Then Senator Walsh turned over the gavel to Miss Kennedy and for the first time in history a national con- vention was in the guiding hand of a woman. She directed the secretary to continue the roll call. Sweet Seconds MeAdoo. Colorado, the first on the list, did not respond at first, but a moment later Gov. W. E. Sweet appeared on the platform.” Himself urged by his friends to accept the support of Colo- rado, Gov. Sweet seconded the nomi- nation of Willlam G. McAdoo on be- half of his state. A previous plan to place Mr. Sweet's name formally be- fore the convention and give him the state’s vote for the first two or three ballots before going to McAdoo ap- parently had been abandoned. There were several minutes of cheering when the name of McAdoo was pronounced by Gov. Sweet, and several delegations undertook to or- ganize a demonstration. Individual delegates took up the state standards of George, California and Texas and started a parade around the hall, but the alsles were so badly crowded with Smith_demonstrators that they had difficulty in_marching. The McAdoo people manifestly had stolen a march on the partisans of Smith by inject- ing the name of the former Treasury Becretary into the proceedings at an unexpected point. D. C. Standard in March. The standards of the Canal Zone, Nevada, _Kentucky, Afizona, South Dakota, Jdaho, Montana, Hawaii, Dis- trict of Columbia, Oklahoma, Wash- ington, South Carolina, Florida, New Mexico, Utah, Oregon and North Carolina eventually were brought into the parade. But the Colorado standard, despite Gov. Sweet's pres- ence on the platform to second the McAdoo nomination, remained in its place, held fast by a half dozen anti- McAdoo delegates. 1t was only a short parade, and it was_punctuated throughout by cries of =Oll, ofl, oil!” from the organized Smith_rooters in the gallery. When Gov. Sweet went on with his speech the galleries agaln took a hand in the proceedings and he had to stop while Senator Walsh again took over the gavel and sought to restore ordér. “Ofl, oil, oll, ofl!" flew the shouts of the Smith men from gallery to gal- lery, 'in_a great growing chorus. Senator Walsh finally got the audl. ence quiet, and when he said he hoped the guests in the gallery would courteously -treat all of those who appeared on the platform the New York delegation took the lead in the. applause from the floor. Standing in their places, the New York delegatés clapped their hands and cheefed the chalrman. x Proposes Heeklers Be Ounted.

Asai and again there were Dbursts o cheering, led by the New York dele- gation and the Smith workers, as the speaker described the rise of Al Smith from a poverty-stricken home on the East Side to the governor's man- sion at Albany. All Isles ammed. Meantime the aisles on the conven- tion floor and in the galieries had be- come more and more crowded with those who were to take part in the demonstration_that would follow the conclusion of Mr. Roosevelt's address Scores more were grouped beneath the platform, ready to file out into the delegate arena and join in the noise-making. The doors of the Gar- den had been locked to all except delegates because of the crush that continued about all the entrance after every seat and nearly every square foot of standing space had been oc- cupied. ANl Aisles Jammed. As the speaker at last pronounced the final words of his address, the big show began amid din seidom equaled in convention halls. The New York standard was jerked from its place to head the parade around the hall. Close behind came that of New Jersey and then followed Connecticut. Min- nesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Rhode Is- land, Pennsylvania, Vermont, lowa, North Dakota, Nevada and Hawaii. A score of ten-foot lithographs of Gov. Smith were borne into the pro- cession along with thousands of American flags. The convention band and the Smith noisemakers in the galleries swung into the Smith cam- paign songs, but the screech of the paraders almost silenced them. Show 1s Spectacular. In dense streams the boosters pour- ed out from beneath the stage into the churning mass of velling march- ers. They brought with them a band at seened to ¥Mow no other tune then ‘Bast Side, West Side,” and it led the demonstrators around and around the big arena. The McAdoo delegates stood on their chairs the better to see the spectacular show being staged by their rivals. Up at the speakers’ stand four chil- dren, two of them garbed as east- side newsboys, had been lifted up be- side Mr. Roosevelt and they waved American flags to the tune of the “Bast, Side” song as they reviewed the passing throng. Another in the group_of children five-year-old Baby Peggy of Hollywood, the movie prodigy. Din Ts Terrific. A part of the paraphernalia that went into the parade was a sectional banner bearing the name of Massa- chusettd, with each letter borne by a different marcher. 1t wobbled and squirmed about through the densely crowded aisle like a great white and black caterpillar.
