NIGHT SESSION IS HELD
Efforts to Be Made Today
to Find Person to Whom
Vote Can Be Swung.
AUDITORIUM, San Francisco,
July 3. After 22 fruitless ballots,
the democratic national convention
just before midnight gave up hopes
of selecting a presidential nominee
-within the first week of its session
and adjourned until 10 o'clock Mon
day morning.
Repeated attempts to adjourn
were defeated throughout the early
part of the night, but as midnight
approached and it was about to be
come Sunday, the tradition that a
democratic national convention never
works on a Sunday, coupled with the
fact that the convention was tired,
worn and frazzled, had its effect and
the final motion to adjourn was un
opposed.
Cox Leading With 430.
When the convention stopped Cox
was leading with 430. McAdoo came
rext with 3721s. Palmer was down
to 166 Vi. The final ballots of the
night were full of McAdoo move
ment, but it failed to make much
headway. Georgia, his home state,
pledged to Palmer, swung over with
her 28 votes in a block for one bal
lot to see if it would start her native
son toward victory, but it failed to
do so and she swung back to the
attorney-general.
No dark horse appeared during
the night's balloting to carry off
the honors, and the convention ad
journed just as much in need of
somebody to rally about as it was
when it began the balloting.
It was a deadlock with nobody in
sight to break it. Sunday will be
devoted to efforts to finding some
body the convention can swing to.
The first votes to be cast for
Woodrow Wilson came from Mis
souri, two of them. Contrary to ex
pectations, they did not cause any
particular demonstration in the con
vention. All through the first 15 ballots to-
day Governor Cox made steady gains
intil he captured the lead from Mc
Adoo.
Davis Gains in Strength.
On the 16th ballot Cox lost slight
ly. On this ballot John W. Davis,
American ambassador to Great Brit
ain, whose votes from West Virginia
had been standing steady all day,

Struggling Contender Hanging

AUDITORIUM. San Francisco, July
3. (Special.) By the time the fifth
ballot had been taken early in the
forenoon it was clear that McAdoo
did not have as spontaneous a
strength as his backers had claimed
and supposed.
The whole theory of the McAdoo
candidacy was that there was an
overwhelming call for him. He had
withdrawn from the race; he had said
that the withdrawal was final, and
he had meant it to be irrevocable.
Thereupon, certain friends and asso
ciates of his, together with menus
and members of the administration.
had represented to him that there was
so urgent a call for him among tne
public at large and also among tne
delegates arriving in San Francisco
that he ought not to forbid them to
make a fight for him.
In truth there was a good deal of
demand for him. All the demand for
anybody that was spontaneous was
for him. But there was not as much
among the delegates as his backers
here had supposed.
Just as soon as It became appar
ent that McAdoo was short of a ma
jority of the delegates, the entire ba
sis of his candidacy changed. By the
fifth ballot he had become a strug
gling contender, hanging on by the
skin of his teeth to a scant third of
the delegates.
After that he would not be in a
very exalted position before the coun
try. A man can hardly be in the role
of a reluctant conscript and at the
same time be fighting desperately to
hold his own. Mr. McAdoo's position
of reluctantly obeying a call of duty
disappeared between 9:30 A. M. and
noon. By noon it was like any old
fashioned race, conducted along lines
of the eame strategy.
McADOO IS COMPOSED
Convention Balloting Appears to
Be of No Concern.
HUNTINGTON, N. Y., July 3. Will
iam Gibbs McAdoo tonight apparently
was unconcerned with what was
going on at the San Francisco con
vention. He attended a Shakespearean
pageant at the Conkling estate and
on his return to his home again de
clined to discuss politics for publi
cation. During the afternoon and evening
friends in New York kept him in
formed by telephone of the balloting.
Other happenings at the convention
were supplied by newspaper men who
were invited by Mr. McAdoo to tea.
NON-PARTISAN" IN LEAD

FARGO, N. E.,t July 3. Governor
Lynn J. Frazier, non-partisan league
candidate for the republican guber

publican, on overnight returns from
Wednesday's primary. In 1870 pre

PICTORIAL SIDELIGHTS BY CARTOONIST PERRY ON SOME TOPICS
Investigators Declared Alive to Fact
That Relicr Must Come by
Construction Work.
NEW YORK. July 3. Hearings will
be heard here this month to be fol
lowed by others throughout the coun
try by the United States senate spe
cial committee on reconstruction and
production investigating the nation's
housing shortage.
In a statement issued here tonight
Franklin T. Miller, assistant to the
committee, declared that co-ordination
of all available statistics and in
formation is being sought by the
committee and the principal cities
from the Atlantic to the Pacific are
to be visited.
"In an effort to avert a possible
housing panic in the fall by imme
diate though informal action. Senator
Caider of New York, chairman of the
committee, has had several confer
ences during the past week with
prominent railroad executives and
transportation experts and has re
ceived assurances of co-operation,"
said Mr. Miller's statement in Dart.
The committee is alive to the fact
that relief of the present housing
conditions must come about through
construction work started during
July, August and September and that
if the freight embargo against build
ing materials persists, relief for the
congested districts will not be
achieved during the present year."

COURSE IS CONSIDERED SAD
Chance to Have All Own Way
Is Declared Spurned.
PARTY'S PLANS UPSET
Democrats at San Francisco Are
Blaming All Their Trouble on
ex-Food Administrator.
BT JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3. (Spe
cial.) When Herbert Hoover of Iowa,
San Francisco, Belgium and Wash
ington, t. C, decided that it would
be a nice bright thing to put his
fingers to his nose and wriggle them
derisively at the democratic party,
he made the biggest mistake that
has been made since Charles Evans
Hughes believed the man who told
him that Hi Johnson didn't have any
friends in California.
Herbert could have had the nomi
nation. He could have had it the day
before yesterday. He could have
picked his vice-president and his na
tional chairman and written his plat
form with his own fair hand.
Hoover Causes Trouble.
The democrats thought that Her
bert was a dear gazelle to gladden
them with his soft brown eyes. But
when the dear gazelle turned and bit
the hand that was about to feed him
a nomination, it was all over. Hoover
i3 the lad who made all the real
trouble that has been convulsing this
convention.
The party had all been organized
ou a Hoover basis. It thought that
It had In Herbert a man who not
only had publicity but popularity, a
man who would leap lightly astraddle
of the donkey and lash him to vic
tory in November.
And then Hoover took a lot of bad
advice and said that as far'as he was
concerned he couln't see where the
Democrats got off and he would not
accept a nomination at their hands
even if they sent it with flowers.
Mistake Called Sad One.
It was a mistake a sad one. For
Herbert Hoover was led up on the
wrong mountain by the republican
Hooverites and to him were shown
kingdoms of the earth which were
not for him to rule. In other words
he was gyped out of the nomination
before he even had a chance for it.
And when having missed the G. O. P.
express he looked longingly at the
time table, he saw that the democratic
extra had gone by.
The democrats will leave this town
between the twin spirits of gloom and
despair.
They have or will have a nominee,
but there has been so much back-
capping and mud-slinging and back
biting that the seeds of rancor and
discord are spread abroad.
Everywhere you hear the word
Hoover, spoken not in praise but in
blame, and usually coupled with ad
jectives that are not pretty in print.
Republicans Oppose Hoover.
It is too late now, of course; the
harm Is done. Hoover Is back in the
private street kind of private life,
and it looks as If he would not
emerge until some fresh Invader be
gins to take the candy of sustenance
away from the Belgian children. But
what a walkover he'd have had here.
How he would have romped in. leav
ing all the other contenders gasping
their baffled rage. The democrats
wanted him, and wanted him bad
The republicans didn't want him at

McAdoo, Palmer, Cox Vote
Proves Hard Knot,
FEDERAL BRIGADE FIRM
Ballot Follows Ballot With
Few Signs of Change
in Strength.
SEARCH FOR NOMINEE HARD
White House Suggestion May
Unite Warring Forces on
Acceptable Candidate.
BY EDGAR B. PIPER.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3. (Ed
itorial Correspondence.) I have at
tempted no running account of to
day's events, for I have thought it
would not be worth while, in view
of the likelihood of a result, but
here now the convention is strug
gling along ballot after "ballot late
into the night.
It is a deadlock which will not be
broken until the forces of McAdoo,
Falmer or Cox, give way, and there
is at present no sign that either of
them is ready to give it up. It is
quite evident that McAdoo has been
stopped. It is also equally plain that
Cox, after slowly pressing ahead of
McAdoo, reached his peak in the loth
ballot.
Federal Brigade .Stands Firm.
The early prophecies as to Palmer
have been realized, for it has not
been apparent that any time the con
vention would consider either seri
ously. Yet the formidable brigade
of federal office holders, which has
been brought here in his behalf, has
stubbornly held out in face of a
steady and persistent whittling down
of his strength.
McAdoo had more on the first bal
lot than he was thought to have and
less reserve strength on succeeding
ballots than he was credited with.
It was early evident that the great
delegations of New York, New Jer
sey and Indiana, which had not been
able to agree on a candidate against
McAdoo, were brought together in
a common design to head him off.
and Cox was the club they used to
do it, just as Lowden was used at
Chicago to beat Wood.
Wets Use Cox to Stalk.
The fight in its early phases had
the clean outlines of a wet and dry
fight. The wet forces got -behind
Cox despite the fact that they were
not pleased with his quibbling and
evasive attitude toward the liquor
question, but the steady drift to Cox
at the same time served as a warning
to the dry forces that there was be
ing waged a battle for control. Un
derstanding the broad issue, they
combined and held the Cox forces
on the 15th ballot. On the 16th
there were signs of the long-adver-
