row Wilson, there was no doubt
whatever that the votes of the con
vention were ready for any lucky
man who could turn one of those
lucky tricks of convention legerde
main which pull a presidential nomi
nation out of a hat.
Smaller Forces XoyaI.
With the three leaders knocking
their heads together, friends of the
candidates of lesser strength showed
renewed determination to keep their
ravorltes In the running.
The attitude of the dark horse
backers, who on the last ballot held
a combined voting strength of one
tenth of the convention, helped to
lock the situation tighter. For the
present the task of putting over any
one of the big three without break
ing into that block of votes seemed
to be a remote one.
The list of dark horses for whom
movements seemed to be on foot still
included John W. Davis of West Vir
ginia, Senator Glass of Virginia,
Senator Owen of Oklahoma, Homer
S. Cummings of Connecticut and Bain
bridpe Colby. Champ Clark was
talked of by some and so was Vice
I'resident Marshall. There was an
indication that Indiana, which sup
ported him solidly at the outset,
might soon return to him if the dead
lock continued.
The two votes for President Wil
son on the 22d ballot, the first to be
cast for him throughout the long
grind of roll-calls, were not regarded
as prophetic of a swing in his di
rection. Davis Strongest of Ills r.rosp.
Of the four heading the lesser
croup, Ambassador Davis had the
greatest strength. His vote on the
final rollcall was 63.
Ranking next to Davis on the last
ballot was Senator Owen with 36,
which included Nebraska votes con
trolled by W. J. Bryan. It was .rec
ognized that Bryan had been de
prived, by his defeat on the prohibi
tion issue, of most of the power he
might have held over the destinies of
the presidential contest.
There was still talk of Senator
Glass, entrusted by the president to
conduct the fight for an administra
tion platform.
In all darkhorse camps the atti
tude was the same; they were hoping
for a break tomorrow, but were con
vinced that they would have to abide
their time while the managers of the
leading three tried out any new align
ments they might have arranged over
Sunday.
Tangle In Called Hopelesa.
The situation with respect, to the
balloting is much the same as it was
at Baltimore eight years ago.
In that convention the deadlock
caused the convention to adjourn over
Sunday.
Governor Alfred E. Smith of New
York received a telegram from Al
Jolson, the comedian, which said:
"Telegraph me name of probable
nominee."
"I wish he would tell me who It Is
going to be." said the governor.
"I can't make anything out of the
situation; It's all a hopeless tangle."
Senator Roblnn of Arkansas,
convention chairman, said he saw no
sign of a decision between the lead
ers.
"But If one of them is not nominated
tomorrow," said Mr. Robinson, "a
dark horse will be chosen on Tues
day."
Dark Horse Is Predicted.
The closing hours of Saturday's tu
multuous session were prophetic of
the scenes which might be expected
tomorrow
Demonstrations began with the
switch of a handful of votes. The
band and pipe organ joined in repeat
edly and wrought mightily to stimu
late the efforts of partisans. Scrim
mages occurred around state stan
doids, rival partisans fought to get
them into the parades or to keep them
out.
When an announcement from the
platform showed Cox's strength to be
approaching 500 there came a tumult
of Cox enthusiasm rivaling the ear
lier outburst when New York broke
and planted 73 votes behind Cox. The
Cox band, the yell leader and the
rooters jumped into the uproar.
McAdoo supporters scented danger,
As by magic, they organized in oppo
sition and with the Texas standard
leading began a parade of their own
The flag of Texas cam out of retire
ment and a flock of southern and
western state banners were thrust
lntc line. The Cox band began
march around the gallery aisle. Ahead
of them capered an elderly but agile
Ohioan exhorting spectators to join in
the uproar. Ohio delegates joined In,
Fcllowed by a group of mid-western
and eastern standards and led by
big Cox banner, they swung through
the aisles in one direction while the
McAdoo parade surged slowly and
jerkily ahead through the crowd in
the other.
Music Makers Ret at Odds.
The Ohio band and the regular con
ventlon musical forces got at odds,
They hurled bombardments at each
other over the heads of the .delegates.
A terrific din and blare of sound was
the result.
When the storm of noise and action
reached its heie-ht. Palm,. knm Mn
the Pennsylvania delegation again
got into action. At the gallery rails
somebody let loose a picture of Sen
ator Owen of Oklahoma.
When Georgia s 28 went over to
McAdoo as a compliment from the
state of his nativity a new uproar
came. McAdoo followers leaped to
ineir' ieei reaay to begin all over
again.
The next ballot showed a djstinct
gain for McAdoo and some loss for
Co.
When on the call for the twentv
second ballot Georgia's 28 went back
to the Palmer fold, the announce
ment was greeted with laughter from
floor and galleries and probably
pavea tne way to tn adjournmen
which rouowea.
Managers Still Positive.
When tne convention broke u
managers for the leading candidates
were as positive as ever in the
claims of approaching victory, but
state leaders not directly aligned
with any camp admitted that they d

eclared that it was next to impos-
ible to deliver blocks of votes.
Tonight Thomas B. Love of Texas,
ne of the McAdoo managers, issued
this statement:
We propose to press with renewed
force the movement to .nominate Mc
Adoo.
Chance far Victory Seen.
"We believe the republicans at Chi
cago presented us with a magnificent
pportunity for victory this fall. A
otel-made nomination here will cast
that opportunity to the winds and rob
the democratic party of the privilege
f continuing as the party of progress.
There is more at stake here than
the personality of the candidate."
E. H. Moore of Youngstown, Ohio,
the Cox manager, said tonight he
cared to make po statement, but re-
ted an incident which he said re-
lected his confidence that Cox would
be nominated. Moore bet $500 to $1000
that Cox would be nominated within
n hour and a half after the conven
tion begins balloting tomorrow and
offered to make it even money that
Cox would be nominated within two
nd a half hours.
It was agreed that the winner
would contribute the money to the
democratic national campaign fund.
Palmer Outlook Held Hopeful.
Vance C. McCormlck of the Pennsyl-
ania delegation tonight said:
'We are holding fast and expect to
make gains tomorrow."
Mr. McCormick said numerous con
ferences were held and the Palmer
utlook was hopeful.
At a mass meeting of the McAdoo
forces tonight. Dr. Burris W. Jenkins
f Kansas City, who placed Mr. Mc-
Adoo's name before the convention.
said the only critclsm of his candidate
was that he is the son-in-law of
President Wilson. Dr. Jenkins was
he chief speaker. , -
The cry of most of the speakers was
"hold the line." Several hundred per-
ons were gathered in the main din-
ng room at the Palace hotel, where
the meeting was held.
Stone-Wall Stand Urged.
We expect to stand like a stone
wall while other candidates are poli
ng, jheir highest possible votes, and
then, when the time comes, unani
mously nominate McAdoo," said Cone
Johnson of Texas in opening the
meeting. "We shall see to It," he
added, "that no powerful interests or
particular group of states control, the
democratic party. If we sit here and
et men dominate the nomination for
the purposes which affect their states
alone, we will throw away the glori
ous opportunity which we have to
carry the country.
If we take a candidate before the
country whom we have to introduce
we shall be In no better shape than
the republicans. Nominate any other
candidate before the convention save
McAdoo and we shall have to take
his photographs around the country
nd explain who he is."
Others who spoke included Gov
ernor Cooper of South Carolina, R.
W. Blair of Kansas, Assistant Sec
tary of the Treasury Moyl of Utah.

CHICAGO. July 4. The nomination
oratory which marked the two great
political conventions this year is in
Bharjr contrast to the nominating
speeches of the early days of the par
ties. This has been brought out
afresh by Inquiry at the Chicago His
torical society and the Newberry li
brary here. . .
In the first great republican con
vention Abraham Lincoln was nomi
nated for the first time by Mr. Judd of
Illinois in these words:
"1 desire on behalf of the delegation
from Illinois to put In nomination as a
candidate for president of the United
States Abraham Lincoln of Illinois."

BOY SLAIN IN DOG FIGHT
Father Shoots to Quiet Animals and
Hits Son.
NEW YORK. July 4. (Special.) A
fight between two dogs had a fatal
ending today when Frank Ceravallo,
a baker, accidentally shot and killed
his son George, 21, at Nutley, N. J.
The dogs were owned by tha elder
Ceravallo and John Furnarl, a barber,
neighbors and friends. Furnarl went
to separate the dogs and struck
Ceravallo s dog. A wordy battle en
sued. George Ceravallo, it is said, told his
father to go inside and he would take
up the fight. The elder Ceravallo
went In. Furnarl pushed young
Ceravallo into the doorway and the
elder Ceravallo. thinking the dogs had
got'into the hallway, fired a shot.

Indorsed for his second term. Jack
son had been nominated previously in
a number of states by the methods
which were then passing away and,
according to the Newberry library, it
is doubtful if there was any speech at
all placing him in nomination at the
first democratic national convention.
The business of this convention was
principally to nominate for the vice
presidency. The convention adopted a resolution
concurring in Jackson's "repeated
nominations." The resolution, was
drawn in 60 words.
Previous to that time (from 1800
to 1831) nominations for the presi-
Jdency and' vice-presidency, the well-
known reference library says, were
by congressional nominating caucus,
consisting of party members of both
houses of congress. The last con
gressional caucus was held in 1S24,
Jackson opposing the "King caucus."
as it was termed, as undemocratic.
In 1888 he was nominated by state
legislative caucuses and conventions
held in various states. Following this
popular state conventions grew up
and out of them came the national
conventions.

Plan to Swing Convention In
eludes Masterful Oratory and
Release of Pledged Votes.
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUES.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., July 4.
(Special.) Every clump of redwoods,
every eucalyptus grove, every valley
within 25 miles of San Francisco is
full of vacationing delegates today.
AH they know or want to know is
that they have got away from the
job a while and have nothing to do
till tomorrow. Leaders are paging
them madly in the hotel corridors
and not finding them. Now and then
an Individual delegate is discovered
and led in chains into camp. But the
fact that this is the day of rest and
a particularly glorious one as to
weather Isn't helping 1 tha least to
settle tha deadlock.
Tonight the leaders (if leaders they
may be called) expect to bring the
boys In and talk to them seriously.
Convention Seems Futile.
After all this is a convention. It
was called to'nominate candidates for
president and vice-president. It
would be a rather exceptional conven
tion if it did neither of these things.
Yet if affairs keep going the way
they are going now, there will be
nothing but a platform with less than
3. 1 5 punch in it to show for all this
trip across the continent and all this
ban Francisco hospitality.
Today the boys that owned booms
in the last few days are around In
the hotels trying to pretend that they
still matter. . Postmaster-General
Burleson, who staked his life, his
liberty and his sacred honor on the
nomination of McAdoo on the fifth
ballot, is trying to compromise his
oet.
Cox Boosters Faking;.
The Cox boosters are determined
but it is fake determination. They
anow iney are tnrougn.
A. Mitchell Palmer is still holding
tenaciously to his 160-odd votes and
gumming tne game by refusing to
get out.
Nobody can be nominated as long
as le maintains the attitude that he
does and as long as his delegates
stick to him plans are not being ma
tured to give him what is vulgarly
called the bum's rush an eliminant
very often applied to candidates who!
continue to stick around after their
last cnance is faded.
What you, as a reader of convention
tidings, would like to know is whom
these delegates are going to nomi
nate.
Delegates Don't Know.
Well, In that respect you have noth
ins whatever on the delegates. This
is a genuinely deadlocked convention.
There is no fake about it. The candi
dates that deadlocked it did such a
good job In stopping the other booms
that they stalled their own. In get
ting rid of their chief enemies they
got rid of themselves, a consumma
tion which they little expected, and
now Dltterly regret.
Three or four plans are suggested
for breaking the deadlock and nom
inating a candidate tomorrow. One
is to get a strong masterful man to
address the delegates and tell them
to nominate a candidate who can
unite the entire party.
There are two objections to this.
One is that there is no strong mas
terful man the other is that there is
no candidate who could unite the factions.
Release of Delegates Disastrous.
A second plan is to abrogate all
unit rules and release all instructed
delegates. That could, of course, be
done, but if it was done and these
birds already intoxicated with liberty
were permitted to select their own
candidate without any help or duress.
they would probably stay here the
rest of the summer.
Tomorrow we'll know more about
it. The balloting begins early in the
day. If you read that either John W.
Davis or Vice-President Marshall is
picking up, you'll be in a position to
do a little predicting. If you read
that the votes are going to Colby, be
careful. There may be a demonstra
tion in Colby's favor, but the demo
cratic party is a 83d degree lodge and
