The McAdoo supporters, whose demonstration last night lasted for over an hour, started another demonstration at the resumption of the Democratic Convention to-day, when the nomination of Mr. Me-

Adoo was seconded. The progress of the MeAdoo marchers was somewhat impeded by the Smith cohorts the isles. Smith sympathizers in the galleries also started shout-Paing "oil! Oi!" as a sign of disapproval of Mr. MeAdoo, When order was restored, Mr.

franklin Roosevelt proposed Gov-date. His panegyric ended in storms of cheeting, shouting and horn-blowing. The Smith delegates seized the standard of New York State and carried it in procession round the hall, a band contributing to the din, ' The: demonstration ested for an hour and a half. The demonstrators brought in"a brass band, which unceasingly played the popular song of the moment, astride and Westside." A fire siren, used by fire-engines to clea: the streets, added to the hideous noise.
