The President chose again to refer nal nal honor, when he spoke of premises the United States renewed when it entered the war, and of con- vincing the world of America's integ- rity. The President has on other oc- rasions made it plain he believes the repudiation of the treaty by the Re- an Senate was a violation of na¬ tional honor. It would seem that this contention may find a prominent place in any treaty arguments that develop during the campaign. Administration supporters here con¬ sider the Resolutions Committee's ex- pressioi n the treaty and league as distinctly in accord with the views of Pri sil jnt Wilson. ' Silent on Convention Matters I They point to the similarity in phraseology in the platform of the Vir- ginia Democrats, which the President publicly approved and urged on the party. Asirle from his message, which was addressed to Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, the President continued his studious silence about convention mat- tcrs, Yet it was indicated the platform was not unsatisfactory to him in other] directions. The league plank, of course, was to him the paramount issue.

"Hon. Homer S. Cummings, Chairman Democratic National Committee, San Francisco. "It was with the most grateful appreciation that I received the message from the convention so kindly transmitted by you. It is a source of profound pride with me to receive such an evidence of the confidence of the great party which derives its principles direct and untainted from the founders of our government and the authors of our liberty. While our opponents are endeavoring to isolate us among the nations of the world, we are following the vision of the founders of the Republic who promised the world the counsel and leadership of the free people of the United States in all matters that affected human liberty and the justice of law. That promise we deliberately renewed when we entered the great war for human freedom and we now keep faith with those, who died in Flanders fields to redeem it. That I should have been accorded leadership in such great matters fills my heart with gratitude and pride and the course the party has taken tills me with a perfect confidence that it will go from victory to victory untitl the true traditions of the Republic are vindicated and the world convinced not only of our strength and prowess, but of our integrity and our devotion to the highest ideals. This is a conquering purpose and noth¬ ing can defeat it. WOODROW WILSON." McAíloo at Theater, Then To Bed, During Balloting Goes to See Open-Air Seenes From Shakespeare After (!ox Takes the Lead While William Gihhs MeAdoo's fate as a candidate for President hung in the balance last night, trie man who should have been most interested was at the Rosemary Open Air Theater, two miles from his home at Hunting- ton. L. I., witnessing an open air Shakespearian production. Shortly after Cox took the lead the McAdoo family left their home and started for the theater. The former Secretary of the Treasury applauded the scenes from "Twelfth Night," "Ro- meo and Juliet,'' "Julius Caesar" and "As You Like It," produced under the direction of William Faversham, as though thoughts of the Presidency had never entered his mind. It was not until ho returned to his home that Mr. McAdoo learned that the convention had adjourned until mid¬ night, Eastern time. He was in bed I before the convention met again. Bryan Silent on Defeat Of His Five Planks Declines to Say Whether He Will Support Tieket Until It Is Named SAN FRANCISCO, Jnly 3..William J. Bryan said last night he vould have no statement to make at this time re¬ garding the action of the convention in defeating his bone dry and other four planks beyond that he was sur¬ prised at the vote cast against his various propositions. Mr. Bryan said he regarded the dem¬ onstration when he finished speaking as a personal tribute. It was not a manufactured affair, he added. The band did not play, he said, having or¬ ders not to do so. 'I he Nebraskan would not say wheth¬ er he would support the ticket be¬ cause it had not yet been named. Mr. Bryan was somewhat exhaust ed last night as a result of his three speeches in the convention yesterday. N. Y. Deserts Smith on 7th; Swings to Cox After Solid Support of Governor Six Times, Delegates Are Released to Vote Seeond Choice 68 of 90 Votes for Ohioan; McAdoo, 16 Great Demonstration Fol¬ lows; Shift Deals Big Blow to Ex-Secretary .Vctr Yarn Tribune's . Direct Leased Wire SAN FRANCISCO. July P.. The New York delegation claims the credit for the hardest drive against the Wilson- McAdoo machine in the Democratic Na¬ tional Convention. Until the seventh ballot the McAdoo leaders were supremely confident of winning. When State Chairman Farley announced 68 votes for Cox the demon¬ stration, especially on the part of the New York and Ohio delegations, was mie of the sights of the entire session. The cheering for Governor Cox contin¬ ued long and loud. Judge Moore, leader of the Ohio delegation, was soon in the midst of the jubilant Tammany men. Other Ohio delegates joined him then and the jollification continued until Chairman Robinson ordered the delegates to their respective seats. Harding Swing Recalled The incident, historically, parallels the swing of the New York delegates in the Republican National Convention from Butler and Lowden to Senator Harding. The break from Governor Smith in the New York delegation came after six full ballots, during which the dele- gation voted solidly for New York's favorite son. As the* seventh roll call started Mayor George R. Lunn of Schenectady, the leader of'the anti- machine men, went to Charles F. Murphy and said: "Mr. Murphy, the independents in the delegation have stood loyally by Governor Smith. It looks now as if he cannot win. We are going to swing a bunch of votes to McAdoo." Murphy Releases Delegates The Tammany chieftain passed the word down the line that the Governor was "out of it." That word released the delegation. The support given to Governor Cox was regarded as natural and logical, as he has all along been strong with Tammany. In the seventh ballot Cox received 68; McAdoo, 16; Palmer, 2; Girard, 1; Clark, 1; Davis, 1, with a vote here and there for others. When Governor Smith was asked about the swing of the delegation to Cox he said: "I am exceedingly gratified at the support accorded me. It was continued fully as long as I had reason to as¬ sume it would. "The swing to Governor Cox is natural. Personally, I favor him, but the delegates as a whole are left free to vote as they like." Statement By Murphy Murphy said: "The vote speaks for itself. The New York delegates voted for Governor Smith as long as circumstances war¬ ranted. With the Governor out of the running the delegates went largely to Governor Cox. There is no, disposition to coerce the delegates. They are at liberty to go where they please." John H. McCooey, the Brooklyn leader, said that if Governor Cox were nominated he would beat Harding in Ohio and bo elected. He expressed doubt about McAdoo being able to beat Harding. 150 Killed by Bomb BERLIN, July 3..The newspapers to¬ day publish a dispatch from Sofia, say- ing that the Odeon Theater at Philip- popolis, Bulgaria, was blown up by a bomb and that about 150 bodies were buried under the débris.

Adjournment was taken until Ml o'clock Monday morning, when balloting will be resumed. The leaders hope in the thirty-four hours intervening to work out some solution. Incidentally, it, is hoped that the President will give a hint of his wishes. Desperate, efforts were made to-night to reach the White House for guidance and advice during the long, protracted and almost meaningless ballots, but Democratic leaders seeking to obtain the President's views were told that the President had gone to bed, leaving orders that he should not be disturbed. On the twenty-first ballot the Palmer floor generals attempted desperate strategy to force the Cox people to adjourn. They released many of their delegates, including the twenty-eight from Georgia, to McAdoo so as to frighten the Ccx managers and induce them to permit an adjournment. These tactics shot the McAdoo vote up to 395% from 840%, while Cox slumped from 456% to 426% and Palmer from 178 to 144. On the next ballot, however, the Georgia vote went h,ack to Palmer. The first vole for Woodrow Wilson came on the twenty-second ballot, when two votes were cast for him in the Missouri delegation. The two votes cast for Wilson were cast by A. Ç. Steuver, of the Tenth District (St. Louis), and Michael Arendes, alternate for Sam Lazarus. After the twentieth ñallot Assistant United States Attorney General Spellacy, of Connecticut, moved to adjourn until Monday morning, point¬ ing out that it would be impossible to conclude the convention's business before midnight.4 o'clock in the morning New York time.and the con¬ vention would not want to meet on Sunday. The motion was defeated on a roll call. 638 to 447. The result of the twentieth ballot was: Cox, 456% ; McAdoo, 340% ; Palmer, 178; Davis, 36; Owen, 41. A revival of McAdoo strength on the twentieth ballot, when his vote ran up to 340% from 327%, resulted in a demonstration which prevented further announcement of the results of the vote. As the flag of the Texas delegation came by the Pennsylvania delega¬ tion some, one inquired if that were the flag of Czecho-Slovakia. "Did you ever hear of the Alamo?" snorted the Texans in disgust. Texan Kissed by Palmer Women Two Palmer women grabbed one of the Texans as he passed the Pennsylvania delegation. "Be for Palmer!" screamed the women. The gallant Texas Ranger capitulated, whereupon he was Jvissed by both the women. "We're for Palmer!" shouted half a dozen reporters from the press stand. The convention, after a recess of two hours and a half, during which many fruitless conferences were held in an effort to break the deadlock, immediately went into the seventeenth ballot. The result showed no decided change for any of the leading candidates. The vote stood: Cox, 142; McAdoo, 332; Palmer, 176; Davis, 57; Cummings, 19; Owen, 36; Clark, 2. Palmer gained eleven votes on the seventeenth ballot; Cox lost 12«í» and McAdoo lost 1. Davis gained 5. On the eighteenth ballot the vote was: Cox, 458; McAdoo, 330%; Palmer, 174 %; Davis, 42. There was no important, change shown on the nineteenth ballot, and the convention went into the twentieth. The Cox people, assisted by their band, brought from Ohio, which they had smuggled into the gallery, again attempted to stampede the convention and end the deadlock after the eighteenth ballot. The band played the "Ohio" song, ending with "We'll nominate Cox or know the reason why." Both the Palmer and McAdoo forces tried to steal the demonstration, Texas working for McAdoo. The band began marching around the aisles of the gallery, a stunt which the oldest observers of conventions said they never had seen tried before. The Administration-controlled band.the regular band of the convention.attempted to break up the performance by staging a band contest, and diminished the effect. When the huge pipe organ entered the contest, combined with the riot on the floor, the noise and confusion reached their height. When the convention reconvened after the recess, a deadlock was apparent. McAdoo Barkers Hope for Gains Monday The McAdoo people insisted that while they did not hope to put their candidate over to-night they would start making gains next week if the convention went over, as it had been demonstrated that Cox could not possibly be nominated. They said they had considerable strength in the Michigan, Georgia and Mississippi delegations anxious to go over whenever they could break the unit rule or work up to a majority. Bainbridge Colby was suggested in some of the conferences held dur- ing the recess, but the Administration leaders expressed strong opposition, as did many of the old line Democrats, who resent the high position Colby has in the party in view of his comparatively recent conversion to De- mocracy. They insisted that Davis was the man on whom to unite. It was said that Murphy, although he does not feel very friendly to Colby, expressed the view that he would rather have hi mthan Davis, and would throw his strength to Colby, if necessary, to head Davis off. The smashing offensive for Cox reached its crest on the fifteenth ballot. On that ballot the Ohioan received 468% votes. Orí the sixteenth ballot his strength receded to 454% votes, following which the convention took a recess until 8 o'clock (midnight, New York time). The consensus after the recess, which was resisted hy all the Cox supporters, but which was carried, 619 to 465, was that the Cox boil had been shot, and his nomination is now impossible. Palmer and Cox seemed eliminated absolutely by the balloting s far, with the anti-McAdoo leaders claiming that* McAdoo alsc is eliminated. The McAdoo men still seem confident, and declare that after it is clear to every one that both Cox and Palmer are out of it, the convention will turn to the President's son-in-law. Certainly McAdoo has passed through the stage of a Hood and ebb % Twenty-second Ballot Total vole, 1,094; necessary to nominate, 729 1-3 S ? 83 g 8 a 8^ x -* J >. r <, S3 - o ¦; < í $ ¦: - 21 o «.". i, ¿i C w w OC« J._ Ala.

Davis Urged to Break Deadlock Some of the Administration men are insisting that the logical man now, with the three leaders eliminated, is Ambassador John W. Davis. It was reported in some quarters that Postmaster General Burleson, who has been working for McAdoo, would be very well satisfied with Davia, and some of Burleson's closest friends are known to be working for Davis, whose vote rose suddenly in the late balloting. The Tennessee delegation voted solid for Davis on the sixteenth ballot, the delegation previously voting twelve for Cox, four for McAdoo, three for Palmer and five for Davis. It is realized that there is a great deal of second choice strength in the convention, but whether it will be anything like enough to give him a chance if the deadlock continues is another question. During the recess Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, was being talked of for the Vice-Presidential nomination by the New York delegates. Among McAdoo supporters John W. Davis was being discussed for second place. Ai'teV Cox forged ahead of McAdoo on the twelfth ballot the Ohio Governor increased his lead on the thirteenth and again on the fourteenth. On the fifteenth ballot the vote stood: Cox, 468%; McAdoo, 3444; Palmer, 1(37. On the sixteenth ballot th? vote stood: Cox, 454%; McAdoo, 337; Palmer, 164%; Davis, 52. The membership of the convention is 1,094. To win the nomination a candidate must receive at least 729 1-.° votes. McAdoo lost eleven votes or the fifteenth ballot and Cox gained thirteen. Palmer lost fifteen. After the fifteenth ballot Thomas B. Love, of Texas, a manager for McAdoo, asked the Palmer delegates for a conference. lie sought to check the movement toward Cox's nomination. Vance McCormick, of Pennsylvania, and Representative Carlin, one of Palmer's managers, were among those invited to the conference. McAdoo retained the lead up to, and including the eleventh ballot, when he had 380 to 332 for Cox and 201 for Palmer. The President'» son-in-law reached his peak on the ninth ballot, when he rolled up 386. His strength held fairly firmly during the tremendous drive to Cox. On the thirteenth ballot McAdoo still had 363%, while Palmer had dropped from his high level of 267% on the seventh ballot to 143% on the thirteenth. The Cox movement really started on' the seventh ballot, when, after Now Jersey hi-.d passed when her name was called in the roll of states, New York broke fron; .A:" Smith, giving sixty- eight to Cox and sixteen to McAdoo. Then Jersey cast her vote, giving twen¬ ty-live to Cox and three for Mi-Adoo. On the twelfth ballot Illinois broke from Palmer, giving Cox all thirty vote, which had been ¡ji«/en on previous bal ote to the Attorney General. in*ad- (1 it ion to the 'ourtcen she had been divino- Cox on the previous few ballots. On the announcement of the Illinois vote a desperate eifori was made by the Cox people to stampede the conven¬ tion for the Ohio Governor. Yelling and screaming, the Cox men marched around the aisles, holding aloft the standards of the «tates they had cap¬ tured, waving flagf, and with a large picture of the Governor borne aloft.

James Middleton Cox

President Predicts Party Victory,In Reply to Convention MessageSAN FRANCISCO, July .?..The following message from Presi¬

dent Wilson, in reply to a telegram of appreciation sent to him by theDémocratie convention, n'as read tn the convention to-day:

"THE WHITE HOUSE, July 2."Hon. Homer S. Cummings, Chairman Democratic National Committee,

San Francisco."It was with the most grateful appreciation that I received the

message from the convention so kindly transmitted by you. It is a

source of profound pride with me to receive such an evidence of theconfidence of the great party which derives its principles direct anduntainted from the founders of our government and the authors of our

liberty. While our opponents are endeavoring to isolate us among thenations of the world, we are following the vision of the founders of theRepublic who promised the world the counsel and leadership of thefree people of the United States in all matters that affected humanliberty and the justice of law. That promise we deliberately renewedwhen we entered the great war for human freedom and we now keepfaith with those, who died in Flanders fields to redeem it. That I shouldhave been accorded leadership in such great matters fills my heartwith gratitude and pride and the course the party has taken tills me witha perfect confidence that it will go from victory to victory untitl thetrue traditions of the Republic are vindicated and the world convincednot only of our strength and prowess, but of our integrity and our

devotion to the highest ideals. This is a conquering purpose and noth¬ing can defeatit. WOODROW WILSON."

McAíloo at Theater, ThenTo Bed, During BallotingGoes to See Open-Air Seenes

From Shakespeare After(!ox Takes the Lead

While William Gihhs MeAdoo's fateas a candidate for President hung inthe balance last night, trie man whoshould have been most interested was

at the Rosemary Open Air Theater,two miles from his home at Hunting-ton. L. I., witnessing an open airShakespearian production.

Shortly after Cox took the lead theMcAdoo family left their home andstarted for the theater. The formerSecretary of the Treasury applaudedthe scenes from "Twelfth Night," "Ro-meo and Juliet,'' "Julius Caesar" and"As You Like It," produced under thedirection of William Faversham, as

though thoughts of the Presidency hadnever entered his mind.

It was not until ho returned to hishome that Mr. McAdoo learned that theconvention had adjourned until mid¬night, Eastern time. He was in bed Ibefore the convention met again.

N. Y. DesertsSmith on 7th;Swings to CoxAfter Solid Support ofGovernor Six Times,Delegates Are Releasedto Vote Seeond Choice

.Vctr Yarn Tribune's . Direct Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO. July P.. The NewYork delegation claims the credit forthe hardest drive against the Wilson-McAdoo machine in the Democratic Na¬tional Convention.Until the seventh ballot the McAdoo

leaders were supremely confident ofwinning. When State Chairman Farleyannounced 68 votes for Cox the demon¬stration, especially on the part of theNew York and Ohio delegations, was

mie of the sights of the entire session.The cheering for Governor Cox contin¬ued long and loud. Judge Moore,leader of the Ohio delegation, was soon

in the midst of the jubilant Tammanymen. Other Ohio delegates joined himthen and the jollification continueduntil Chairman Robinson ordered thedelegates to their respective seats.

Harding Swing RecalledThe incident, historically, parallels

the swing of the New York delegatesin the Republican National Conventionfrom Butler and Lowden to SenatorHarding.The break from Governor Smith in

the New York delegation came aftersix full ballots, during which the dele-gation voted solidly for New York'sfavorite son. As the* seventh roll callstarted Mayor George R. Lunn ofSchenectady, the leader of'the anti-machine men, went to Charles F.Murphy and said:"Mr. Murphy, the independents in

the delegation have stood loyally byGovernor Smith. It looks now as if hecannot win. We are going to swing a

bunch of votes to McAdoo."

Murphy Releases DelegatesThe Tammany chieftain passed the

word down the line that the Governorwas "out of it." That word releasedthe delegation. The support given toGovernor Cox was regarded as naturaland logical, as he has all along beenstrong with Tammany.

In the seventh ballot Cox received68; McAdoo, 16; Palmer, 2; Girard, 1;Clark, 1; Davis, 1, with a vote here andthere for others.When Governor Smith was asked

about the swing of the delegation toCox he said:

"I am exceedingly gratified at thesupport accorded me. It was continuedfully as long as I had reason to as¬sume it would."The swing to Governor Cox is

natural. Personally, I favor him, butthe delegates as a whole are left freeto vote as they like."

Statement By MurphyMurphy said:"The vote speaks for itself. The

New York delegates voted for GovernorSmith as long as circumstances war¬ranted. With the Governor out of therunning the delegates went largely toGovernor Cox. There is no, dispositionto coerce the delegates. They are atliberty to go where they please."John H. McCooey, the Brooklyn

leader, said that if Governor Cox werenominated he would beat Harding inOhio and bo elected. He expresseddoubt about McAdoo being able to beatHarding.

Deadlock Remains Unbroken as

the Delegates ReassembleAfter Night Recess

Seek Compromise CandidateLeaders Appeal to White House Over

Long-Dîslance Phone, bust WilsonRefuses to Answer

By Carter FieldXrw York Tribune's Direct Leased Wire Service)

SAN KRANCISCO, July :'..- After twenty-two futile ballots theDemocratic National Convention adjourned in the midst of a deadlock at11:40 San Francisco, 3:40 New York time. Adjournment was taken untilMl o'clock Monday morning, when balloting will be resumed.

The leaders hope in the thirty-four hours intervening to work outsome solution. Incidentally, it, is hoped that the President will give a

hint of his wishes.Desperate, efforts were made to-night to reach the White House for

guidance and advice during the long, protracted and almost meaninglessballots, but Democratic leaders seeking to obtain the President's viewswere told that the President had gone to bed, leaving orders that he shouldnot be disturbed.

On the twenty-first ballot the Palmer floor generals attempteddesperate strategy to force the Cox people to adjourn. They releasedmany of their delegates, including the twenty-eight from Georgia, toMcAdoo so as to frighten the Ccx managers and induce them to permitan adjournment.

These tactics shot the McAdoo vote up to 395% from 840%, whileCox slumped from 456% to 426% and Palmer from 178 to 144. On thenext ballot, however, the Georgia vote went h,ack to Palmer.

The first vole for Woodrow Wilson came on the twenty-secondballot, when two votes were cast for him in the Missouri delegation.The two votes cast for Wilson were cast by A. Ç. Steuver, of theTenth District (St. Louis), and Michael Arendes, alternate for SamLazarus.

After the twentieth ñallot Assistant United States Attorney GeneralSpellacy, of Connecticut, moved to adjourn until Monday morning, point¬ing out that it would be impossible to conclude the convention's businessbefore midnight.4 o'clock in the morning New York time.and the con¬

vention would not want to meet on Sunday. The motion was defeated on

a roll call. 638 to 447.The result of the twentieth ballot was: Cox, 456% ; McAdoo, 340% ;

Palmer, 178; Davis, 36; Owen, 41.A revival of McAdoo strength on the twentieth ballot, when his vote

ran up to 340% from 327%, resulted in a demonstration which preventedfurther announcement of the results of the vote.

As the flag of the Texas delegation came by the Pennsylvania delega¬tion some, one inquired if that were the flag of Czecho-Slovakia.

"Did you ever hear of the Alamo?" snorted the Texans in disgust.

Texan Kissed by Palmer WomenTwo Palmer women grabbed one of the Texans as he passed the

Pennsylvania delegation. "Be for Palmer!" screamed the women.

The gallant Texas Ranger capitulated, whereupon he was Jvissed byboth the women. "We're for Palmer!" shouted half a dozen reporters fromthe press stand.

The convention, after a recess of two hours and a half, during whichmany fruitless conferences were held in an effort to break the deadlock,immediately went into the seventeenth ballot. The result showed no

decided change for any of the leading candidates. The vote stood: Cox,142; McAdoo, 332; Palmer, 176; Davis, 57; Cummings, 19; Owen, 36;Clark, 2.

Palmer gained eleven votes on the seventeenth ballot; Cox lost 12«í»and McAdoo lost 1. Davis gained 5.

On the eighteenth ballot the vote was: Cox, 458; McAdoo, 330%;Palmer, 174%; Davis, 42.

There was no important, change shown on the nineteenth ballot, andthe convention went into the twentieth.

The Cox people, assisted by their band, brought from Ohio, whichthey had smuggled into the gallery, again attempted to stampede theconvention and end the deadlock after the eighteenth ballot. The bandplayed the "Ohio" song, ending with "We'll nominate Cox or know thereason why."

Both the Palmer and McAdoo forces tried to steal the demonstration,Texas working for McAdoo. The band began marching around the aislesof the gallery, a stunt which the oldest observers of conventions said theynever had seen tried before. The Administration-controlled band.theregular band of the convention.attempted to break up the performanceby staging a band contest, and diminished the effect. When the huge pipeorgan entered the contest, combined with the riot on the floor, the noiseand confusion reached their height.

When the convention reconvened after the recess, a deadlock was

apparent.

McAdoo Barkers Hope for Gains MondayThe McAdoo people insisted that while they did not hope to put their

candidate over to-night they would start making gains next week if theconvention went over, as it had been demonstrated that Cox could not

possibly be nominated. They said they had considerable strength in theMichigan, Georgia and Mississippi delegations anxious to go over wheneverthey could break the unit rule or work up to a majority.

Bainbridge Colby was suggested in some of the conferences held dur-ing the recess, but the Administration leaders expressed strong opposition,as did many of the old line Democrats, who resent the high position Colbyhas in the party in view of his comparatively recent conversion to De-

mocracy. They insisted that Davis was the man on whom to unite.It was said that Murphy, although he does not feel very friendly to

Colby, expressed the view that he would rather have hi mthan Davis, andwould throw his strength to Colby, if necessary, to head Davis off.

The smashing offensive for Cox reached its crest on the fifteenthballot. On that ballot the Ohioan received 468% votes. Orí the sixteenthballot his strength receded to 454% votes, following which the conventiontook a recess until 8 o'clock (midnight, New York time).

The consensus after the recess, which was resisted hy all the Coxsupporters, but which was carried, 619 to 465, was that the Cox boil hadbeen shot, and his nomination is now impossible.

Palmer and Cox seemed eliminated absolutely by the balloting s far,with the anti-McAdoo leaders claiming that* McAdoo alsc is eliminated.The McAdoo men still seem confident, and declare that after it is clear to

every one that both Cox and Palmer are out of it, the convention willturn to the President's son-in-law.

Certainly McAdoo has passed through the stage of a Hood and ebb%

tide, and recovery now, despite the confidence of his supporters, would bea remarkable movement for any national convention to go through.

Davis Urged to Break DeadlockSome of the Administration men are insisting that the logical man

now, with the three leaders eliminated, is Ambassador John W. Davis. Itwas reported in some quarters that Postmaster General Burleson, whohas been working for McAdoo, would be very well satisfied with Davia,and some of Burleson's closest friends are known to be working for Davis,whose vote rose suddenly in the late balloting.

The Tennessee delegation voted solid for Davis on the sixteenth ballot,the delegation previously voting twelve for Cox, four for McAdoo, threefor Palmer and five for Davis.

It is realized that there is a great deal of second choice strength inthe convention, but whether it will be anything like enough to give hima chance if the deadlock continues is another question.

During the recess Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary ofthe Navy, was being talked of for the Vice-Presidential nomination bythe New York delegates. Among McAdoo supporters John W. Daviswas being discussed for second place.

Ai'teV Cox forged ahead of McAdoo on the twelfth ballot the OhioGovernor increased his lead on the thirteenth and again on the fourteenth.

On the fifteenth ballot the vote stood: Cox, 468%; McAdoo, 3444;Palmer, 1(37.

On the sixteenth ballot th? vote stood: Cox, 454%; McAdoo, 337;Palmer, 164%; Davis, 52.

The membership of the convention is 1,094. To win the nominationa candidate must receive at least 729 1-.° votes.

McAdoo lost eleven votes or the fifteenth ballot and Cox gainedthirteen. Palmer lost fifteen.

After the fifteenth ballot Thomas B. Love, of Texas, a manager forMcAdoo, asked the Palmer delegates for a conference. lie sought tocheck the movement toward Cox's nomination. Vance McCormick, ofPennsylvania, and Representative Carlin, one of Palmer's managers, wereamong those invited to the conference.

McAdoo retained the lead up to, and including the eleventh ballot,when he had 380 to 332 for Cox and 201 for Palmer. The President'»son-in-law reached his peak on the ninth ballot, when he rolled up 386.

His strength held fairly firmly during the tremendous drive to Cox.On the thirteenth ballot McAdoo still had 363%, while Palmer had droppedfrom his high level of 267% on the seventh ballot to 143% on thethirteenth.The Cox movement really started on'

the seventh ballot, when, after NowJersey hi-.d passed when her name was

called in the roll of states, New Yorkbroke fron; .A:" Smith, giving sixty-eight to Cox and sixteen to McAdoo.Then Jersey cast her vote, giving twen¬ty-live to Cox and three for Mi-Adoo.On the twelfth ballot Illinois broke

from Palmer, giving Cox all thirtyvote, which had been ¡ji«/en on previousbal ote to the Attorney General. in*ad-(1 it ion to the 'ourtcen she had beendivino- Cox on the previous few ballots.On the announcement of the Illinois

vote a desperate eifori was made by

the Cox people to stampede the conven¬tion for the Ohio Governor. Yellingand screaming, the Cox men marchedaround the aisles, holding aloft thestandards of the «tates they had cap¬tured, waving flagf, and with a largepicture of the Governor borne aloft.Pandemonium broke loose again whc«i
