The New York Democratic gathering faced a tense night as a deadlock over the platform persisted. A anti Ku Klux Klan plank was narrowly adopted, while McAdoo and Smith factions clashed over the nomination process and potential compromise candidates.

The convention adjourned into the early hours after a dramatic, emotion-filled floor contest.
