-Opposing Camps
NEW YORK, June 2 2 (By
The Associated Press.) The eve
of the democratic convention finds
the . rival campaign managers ad
vancing an abundance of claims of
victory bat a dearth of details -on
which their estimates are based.
Not -one -of them is ready to
announce from what specific dele
gations f he expects ' to draw
strength enough to give : his can
filiate the' 732 -votes necessary to
nominate. , , ":i .
On . the basis "jof instructions
given ia state conventions ; and
erences of those who "are nnin-
Etructei. the present intention of
10 9 S (I -legates is to divide their
support on the Initial roll call was
among the few score candidates.
On that basis and round sum'
bers the outlook at the -moment is
that William G. McAdoo will have
in the neighborhood of 450 votes
on the first ballot and that uov
ernor Smith, will be in second
place with about 250. , v
Most' of the remaining 400
votes are parceled out in blocks
of abont 50 or less. Senator Un
derwood, James JI. Cox,. Senator
Ralston and j possibly John W.
Davis appear to have in sight
somewhere near fitty" lirst ballot
votes. ' ; .
New Jersey's 28 and perhaps a
few others are promised to Gov
ernor Silzer; Michigan's 20 toSen
atro Ferris; Virginia's 24 to Sen
ator Glass; Kansas 20 to Gover
nor Jonathan- Davis; Mississippi's
20 to Senator Harrison; Arkansas'
IS to Senator Robinson; New
Hampshire's 8 and 10 "from Con
necticut to Governor Brown: Ne
braska's 16 to Governor Bryan ;
Colorado's 10 to -Governor Sweet;
Deleware's 6 to Senator Sanlsbury,
and Wyoming's 6 to Senator Ken
drick: That leaves less than a dozen
votes In the doubtful column until
the balloting gets under way.

she was . not seriously hurt. Mrs.
Andresen and her, daughter-in-

which 'was ground . Into her' flesh
by the fall,' Mrs. Andresen was not

months old boy, was playing with

room through, which' the tank
ascended, and his grandfather. P.'
N. Andresen, was near him. Al
though the force of the explosion
caused the floor to quake they
were not scratched.
The tank was thrown 20 feet
above' the -roof and -upon landing
smashed a lawn mower to pieces.
A large bay window in the front
of the house was blown out, fur
niture was ' moved, - and delicate
fixtures of the house were Shat

The house was constructed at a
cost of $ 8 0 0 0 and had been ar
