Hisgen was nominated oa third ballot Vote was, Hisgen 831; Graves 77; Howard 38; Hearst 2. It looked like Hisgen from the first ballot He received 396 and under two-thirda rule 619 was necessary. New York broke on second ballot, and on third call state after state changed to him. Georgia moved to make nomination unanimous and this was done with a shout that shook the building. An at tempt by John I. Shepherd, a delegate from Kansas to stampede the conven tion for Bryan provoked riot in the hall and an arrest of a. half dozen of Bryan shouters. Police reserves were summoned find discouraged any further efforts at stampeding. Sheperd was ex pelled from the convention and escort ed out to prevent an attack on him. Graves' nomination was unanimous. An attempt to place William J. Bryan in nomination for president precipita ted almost a state Of riot in the Inde pendence party convention tonight and it was with difficulty that delegate J. I. Shepard, of Kansas, who named the Nebraskan for president was saved from violence at the hands of angered, delegates. After Judge Fealey's speech nomi nating M. W. Howard, the roll call progressed, until Kansas was reached J.Tt. Shepard of that state, asked the chairman if ,(t was possible to vote for any candidate for the nomination who was not a member of the party. The reply was that the Question had not yet arisen whereupon Mr. Shepard took the platform, announcing that he had a candidate. He mentioned the "candidate of the democratic party " and a storm rf - hisses and boos greeted the reference. Mr. Shepard was finally allowed t proceed. He had spoken hut a r minutes when the delegates broke in upon him. Charles H. Mitchell, of Illi nois, offered a point of order ovin- that it was evident that the speaker was aoout to place in nomination a man who was not a memhor rt m, r dependence party. He therefore asked wai we convention nronpd tn -ora a candidate of its own. A scene of riot followed several ltd- egates attempting to reach the rostrum ir me purpose of offering nhvu-i violence to the speaker. A number of n.nia . -. .v themselves across the aisle in front of the rostrum and held back the In furiated men by sheer DhvslcaJ strength. Mr. Mitchell persisted, however, in asking if Mr. Sherman intended to nominate a man who was not a mem ber of the Independence party. He insisted upon a categorical answer. Of course I don't want to drive you," said Mr. Bhepard. "I Intend, if I am allowed to finish to nominate William J. Bryan." The hall broke into a wild uproar. a dozen delegates madly struggling in the main aisle In an attempt to reach Mr. Shepard. ' Canes and fists were shaken at him furiously while howls of excretion went up from all sides of the hall. Quiet was a long time coming, but when it finally . arrived Chairman Walsh ruled that in as much as Mr. Shepard had attempted to nominate a man who was not a member of the la dependence party he was out of order. Independent national committee se lected William Randolph Hearst as Chairman to handle campaign between now and November 3d. C F alsh, of Ohio is secretary and C. F. 8. Neal, ot Indiana and M. W. Howard, of Alabama' are vice national chairman. i AM n 1 . v It: m M ! Hit- if iff 7:4; . ,:. 7:-' i' M-.J.f 777 n ; .. . . ... 7-v;'"S',i'7 v7'.'-17t7
