At the Coliseum the gloom was so thick that the keynote speech of Senator Harding of Olwo, the Temporary Chaiman, aroused cheers that lasted only 30 seconds At the Auditorium the Bull Moosers started a demonstration for Roose- | velt at the first mention of his name by Raymond Robbins, the Tem- | porary Chairman, which kisted 95 minutes. It was so persistent that | Perkins began to tear the plans for postponing a nomination would be smashed and that the Colonel would be put through at once. He sought to check the demonstration and Robbins was urged not to mention Roosevelt's name again, \ There had been conferences during almost the entire night among |the leaders who sought to bring harmony to the two factions. Roose- jvelt was frequently consulted by phone both last night and this morn- ing.
