Senator Hughes of New Jersey made the motion to suspend the rules and nominate Woodrow Wilson by acclamation. The motion was seconded in all parts of the house, but Robert Emmett Burke, the uninstructed delegate from Chicago, made a point of order and demanded a roll call. The point of order was not taken into account by Chairman James, who put the motion before the convention. He called for the "ayes" and there was a great shout. "Contraries," demanded Burke. Chairman James called for the "nays" and Burke voted "nay" in a loud voice. There was some hissing, but it was drowned by cheers when, at 11:54pm, Chairman James declared Woodrow Wilson nominated for President by the convention.
