fContlnuriJ From First Page.)
Georgia went into the Cox column
with her 28, the withdrawal of Attorney-General
Falmer had released
not only the Pennsylvania delegation,
but other delegates who wanted to
slide to the Cox column. The acces
iions of twos, three and fours soon
jrew into blocks, and when the 44th
mllot was well on its way the votes
were tumbling into the Cox column
1 o fast that his nomination seemed
an assured fact.
AUDITORIUM. San Francisco,
July 5. Release of Attorney-General
Palmer's delegates tonight
threw the Cox and McAdoo forces to
new high levels in the democratic na
tional convention, but seemed to
place them only nearer a deadlock.
With accessions from the collapse
of the Palmer boom on the 40th bal
lot Cox sprang to a new high level
of 490 and McAdoo, with 458, went
to a new high level, and so did John
W. Davis, ambassador to Great Brit
ain. The battle continued into more
ballots.
Cox' vote of 4684 on the 39th bal
lot was exactly his previous high
water mark as it appeared on the
15th ballot.
Attention of Senator Harrison of
the Cox forces was called to that fact
by National Committeeman Guffey
of Pennsylvania, who asked what the
Cox forces were going to do about it.
Harrison said they were going out
fcr more. "
After the 41st ballot Governor
Linebaugh of Oklahoma moved an
adjournment, but the Cox people set
up a great roar.
The changes of the. 41st ballot
were: McAdoo lost 7, Cox gained
Davis lost 2 and Palmer's vote
was reduced to 12.
Motion to Adjourn Beaten.
During the recess between the
41st and 42d ballots Georgia cau
cused.
A rollcall was ordered on a motion
to adjourn until 10:30 o'clock tomor
row morning. Ex-Governor Line
baugh of Oklahoma moved it and
the Cox people opposed it, fearing
the effects of an overnight rest on
their lead.
The motion to adjourn was de
feated. The Cox people thus won
4 their determination to continue strik
ing while the iron was hot and press
their advantages. The McAdoo
states for most part -voted for an
adjournment, although some of them
did vote against it.
The Georgia delegation, it was re
ported, on a caucus went over to
Cox under the unit rule for the next
ballots-.
Georgia, as forecast, flopped to
Cox with her whole 28 votes.
During the recess between the
41st and 42d ballots there was circu
lated about the floor copies of
telegram from Judge Moore, Cox
manager, to Daniel C. Roper of New
York, accredited with being one of
the McAdoo managers, charging that
"a crowd of government employes
and treasury officials are for their
own personal ends, and in defiance
of Mr. McAdoo's expressed wishes.
improperly using nis name to cre
ate a deadlock in this convention."
Charging that several delegation
were packed with government em
ployea holding out for the nomination
of McAdoo, Moore's telegram charged
that "the action of the payroll brigade
Is creating a national scandal to the
ruin of the democratic party."
"They know there Is no chance to
r.ominate him," the telegram con
tinued, "but hope to bring about a
situation where they can deal off the
delegates to some candidate where
their jobs will be protected."
Judge Moore expressed the opinion
that Mr. McAdoo would not be a
party to such a deal and urged that
in his own and his party's interests
he would telegraph to the convention
forbidding the Use of his name.
The result of the Georgia caucus.
it was reported, was to give 28 to
McAdoo. Massachusetts, it was re
ported, would throw most of her 36
o Cox. While the caucusing was go
ing on, the floor of the convention
hall took on the aspect of a country
fairground, with a lot of electioneer
ing going on. Here and there was a
speaker on a chair making a stump
speech for his favorite candidate
with an Jidmirlng crowd about him.
One speaker would try to draw the
other fellow's crowd after the manner
of a ballyhoo man on.a midway. Some
of the delegates called for order and
start of the balloting.
Chairman Robinson, sitting at ease
in his big chair with his hands folded
over his stomach taking the finst re.
taxation of a week, smiled and replied:
What s your hurry? Let s wait a
moment."
Fresh Start Is Made.
At 10:12 o'clock. Chairman Robin
son relented and decided the conven-
ion ought to go back to work. It
went into the 39th ballot with a new
enthusiasm. It was like a fresh start
toward home after a long and vexa
tious delay at the roadside.
At the end of the second ballot
after the recess, when the Palmer
vote had touched 211 and it was ap
parent that it could be driven no
higher, C. C. Carlin of Virginia, ex
representative, Mr. Palmer's man
ager, took the platform and an
nounced the withdrawal of the attor
ney general from the race.
Chairman Robinson, in presenting
him, told the committee significantly
that he was presenting a man who
had an announcement to make which
he was confident the convention
would want to hear.
IVolae Stops Abruptly.
Expectation was in the air and the
convention, which., only a- moment
before had been in the height of dis
order in a rackety demonstration,
quieted down like magic, until a pin
might almost have been heard ' to
drop in the great auditorium as
Carlin took the speaker's place and
said in substance:
I am about to make an announce
ment of greatest importance to this
convention at the conclusion of which
shall move a recess for 20 minutes
to give the convention opportunity
to decide what course it shall take.
A. Mitchell Palmer asks me to ex
press his sincere thanks and appre
ciation to every delegate who had
voted for his nomination, but he is
unwilling to delay the proceedings
further and authorized me finally,
positively and absolutely to release
every delegate pledged to him, that
the convention may proceed to nomi
nate the next president of the
United States."
There was a roar of "hurrah for
Palmer" as the' lines broke and the
convention went into a recess. The
denouement, coming at the end of 38
hard-fought and fruitless ballots,
gave the came effect as does an
over-inflated automobile tire when it
bursts with a bang and then sizzles
down.

COUPLE CALL FOR HELP
Man and Woman at Fire Climb
Down Fire Escape.
Spectators at a fire in the Benson
building. Fifth and Morrison streets,
got a thrill early today when Martin
Buck and his mother, Mrs. E. A. Buck,
appeared on a fire escape on the third
floor and shouted for firemen to put
up a ladder and rescue them. They
were in no danger; and the fire escape
offered an easy method of getting
down, so the firemen left them there
to furnish thrills until they dis
covered the fire escape and descended
of their own accord.
The fire started in the offices of
the Eastern Painless dentiBts, in the
second story, and filled the i whole
building with smoke. There was little
damage. although the lodgers in
Zorn's hotel, on the second and third
stories, were routed out by the smoke.
The Bucks were the only residents of
the building who took to the fire
escape. The cause OC the blaze nas
not been determined.
BLIND MAN IS ROBBED
Boys Alleged to Have Taken Watch
From Benefactor.
H. Thompson, a blind man who
lives at 708 Second street, complained
to the police last night that three
Seattle boys who came to his home
for dinner had stolen his watch. In
spectors Phillips and Tackaberry ar
rested Elmer McKay, Ed Bennison
and Harry Jones, each about 15 years
old, and charged them with the
crime.
According to the police, McKay,
who was acquainted with Mr. Thomp
son, took the other lads out to the
blind man's home and got them their
dinner. Bennison is alleged to have
purloined the watyh after the meal.
The police recovered the watch and
turned the boys over to the juvenile
court. The police say the boys, who
are runaways from Seattle, admitted
having stolen the watch because they
had no money.
Tammany wm not work for Mc
Adoo, if he is nominated. Tammany
doesn't 'like the Wilson administra
tion any more than Senator Harding
or the republican national convention
did. Tammany is favorable to Cox
but Tammany district leaders have
figured since the deadlock started
that Homer S. Cummlngs, national
chairman, might eventually win the
nomination. Tammany doesn't want
saloons' but it does favor beer and
light wines. And Tammany is the
greatest political organization in the
world.
All these statements were made or
admitted by Tammany district leaders
who were in Portland all day yester
day on their way home from the San
Francisco convention.
And another thing about Tam
many its leaders resent the charge
that Tammany men wear horns and
swish a tail. There wasn't a low
brow among the 127 men, women and
children who were traveling on the
special train. The men looked like
prosperous business or professional
men; their women were well and be
comingly dressed and their children
were neat and well-mannered. Irish
eyes, and Irish names predominated
and it was declared that there wasn't
a grouch in the crowd.
Cox la Tammany's First Choice.
Charles W Culkin acted as spokes.
man for the party, although a few of
the beys were willing to discuss
Tammany, its methods and politics.
The first choice of the Tammany
delegation is Governor Cox and the
last choice would be McAdoo, because
of his connection with the Wilson ad
ministration. Throughout the Wilson
administration Tammany has re
ceived scant recognition from Wil
son; Tammany operates with patron
age, and there has been no federal
patronage.
"We believe In organization, ex
plained Mr. Culkin. "We submit
names for appointments and stand by
them. If we present the name of
Kelly for an appointment and Sulli
van gets the Job, that doesn't suit
Tammany, because it was Kelly and
not Sullivan who was recommended.
The Sullivan appointment would be
outside of the organization. Our
recommendations have not been eyed
with favor at Washington.
"Tammany is practical. A district
leader I am one, and was one of
big Tim Sullivan's boys Is held re
sponsible for his district. If anything
goes wrong or anyone in the district
gets into trouble, the leader Is called
on to straighten things out. If a man
is out of work or a boy is arrested
we get a job for the man and try to
get the boy out of jail.
Card Index System Used.
"We charge all . our , assistance
against the man or boy, the same as
a business man would charge against
a customer. We have a card Index on
those we aid, and when election time
comes around we see these people and
ask them to help elect the ticket.
Then we casually remind them of
whatever little service we have given
them personally. They think we have
good memories, - but we haven't, for
the card index system does the. work."
Mr. Culkin's district indues Green- '
wlch village, where his family and
ancestors bave lived for about a cen- (
tury. ;
"The village is becoming a head- ;
quarters for long-haired men and
short-haired women who have freak :
Ideas and call themselves villagers, ,
and this makes the real .village fami- j
lies, who have lived there 130 years,
sore," smiled Mr. Culkin.
"I'm the oldest district leader in i
Tammany," contributed W. J. Dalton. I
I ve been a leader for 32 years. My
district is from Tenth to Fortieth
streets and from Seventh avenue to
North river. They call us Tammany
men thugs. Do 1 look like one?" He
did not; he looked like . short, stout,
benevolent individual.
Tammanyites Have Great Day.
The "braves" of Tammany had a
great day. in Portland. Three lone
democrats were on the scene to wel
come them Elton Watkins. president
of the Jackson club; John D. Mann,
chief deputy marshal, and Milton" A,
Miller, collector of customs and Der-
Ksonal friend of W. J. Bryan. The Tam
many people confessed to Mr. Miller
that, while they don't like Bryan,
they would rather vote for him than
for McAdoo. Twenty-two large cars
took the visitors over the Columbia
highway to- Multnomah falls, and
these New Yorkers agreed that they
had never before seen such marvelous
scenery. Women in the party were
provided with roses by Mrs. Mann.
Ten delegates to the national con
vention were in the party, these hav
ing turned over their proxies to their
alternates. Tammany delegates vote
as told, it was explained, so the alter
nates will get the same high sign as
the rest of the delegates, for this
block of votes will be held intact.
"I should have been made collector
of customs of New York, but was
thrown down; do you think I'd favor
McAdoo after that?" demanded Sam
uel Marks, member of the board of
aldermen of New York, and a leader
In the Tammany district which takes

Patronage Tammany's Keynote.
"Tammany doesn't do business that
way, and Tammany has received
nothing from the Wilson administra
tion, as I told McAdoo some time ago.
You can't run an organization without
patronage, and the boys In the down
town districts wouldn't support Mc
Adoo after the way they've been
treated."
Mr. Marks gave an idea of the Tam
many methods. "Here is a postcard,"
said he, exhibiting a - sample from
San Francisco. Printed in one cor
ner was a message telling of the won
ders of the west and what a good
time he was having. "I've sent more
than 400 of those cards to people in
my district." continued Mr. Marks.
"It makes them feel good. I brought
my mailing list with me.
"There are al-out 600 members in
my district and they pay 10 a year
for membership. The idea is to keep
in close touch with everyone in the
district, and this is done by having a
captain to every so many democrats.
In a district like mine, where repub
licans and democrats are about
evenly matched, it requires constant
hard work to keep the district voting
right.
Wet Plank Is Favored.
"Tammany wanted a wet plank In
the democratic platform - because it
favors light wines and beer. Tam
many doesn't want the saloon. Tam
many is for the common people, and
the common people cannot get any
thing to drink now, while the wealthy
can. That isn't democratic I favor
dry states being dry, but why not
permit wet states to be wet if they
want to? That is Tammany's atti
tude." ..
Speaking politically, Mr. Marks as
serted that Cox would be, an ideal
candidate for president, as he could
carry Ohio against Harding and also
carry New York, while the south, be
ing democratic, would vote for Cox,
just as it would vote for any demo
cratic nominee. McAdoo cannot carry
New York, he added.
"My idea," concluded Mr. Marks, "is
that Homer Cummlngs will be the
nominee, and I telegraphed to New
York last Friday for my friends to
take all the bets they could. In my
name, that Cummlngs will be nomi
nated." Many Notables In Party.
