PLATFORM LEAVES EQUALIZATION FEE OUT ( Continued frvm paf 1.) bill in the platform would be car ried to the floor of the convention tomorrow. He said that a minority report would be prepared, probably em bodying the so-called Murphy plank which includes the equalis ation fee, and added that the 15 members of the committee who had. voted against the agricultural plank adopted would carry the battle before the convention. Norbeck expressed doubt that the prohibition enforcement plank would lead to a fight on the floor, repeating -Borah's assertion that only four or five had voted against It in the committee. As approved the plank dealing with farm relief embodies not ref erence to the equalization fee pro visions of the twice vetoed Mc- Nary-Haugea bUl. while the plank on prohibition declares for 'speci fic enforcement ot the 18 th amendment, These two Questions nroved the big obstacles encountered by the committee in its long cessions and supporters of the equalisation fee pridciple announced that they nronosed to carry their tight to h. convention floor for final de - termination. - J It Is not expected the probibi- n (In !)))

The farm relief plank, omit ting reference to the tee princi ple, was approved by a vote ot 35 to 15. It declares that the agri cultural industry is faced with a.i serious condition, that the trou ble lies chiefly in the disposition of crop surpluses and their mar keting and pledges the republican party to devise ways and means of remedying this situation. The vote on Borah dry plank was taken on a viva voce ballot. Senator-elect Tare of Pennsylvania, announced that he did not propose to lead a fight in the convention against 'the Borah proposal. All of the other platform planks, dealing with the multi tude of activities in which the fed eral government is concerned. were approved practically without change ae submitted by the sub committee. Members said that most of the changes effected were of a clerical nature. In approving the platform, the committee brought to a close nearly 36 hours of continuous ses sion of the sub-committee and the full committee. The committee first went into session at 3 p. m.. Tuesday and after several hours of public bearinge appointed a sub committee of 15 members. The latter body, except for a recess of about four hours, sat continuous ly until 4 p. m. today when the full committee again reassembled to pass upon its work. After adjournment tonight Sen ator Smoot of Utah, chairman of the committee, promised newspa per correspondents the roll call vote on the farm relief plank, but a search by committee clerks fail ed to disclose this ballot. Such leaders of the wet forces as Dr. Nicnoias Murray ouim, president of the Columbia uni versity, and former Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr.. of New York, took strong exception to the pro vision in the Borah plank calling the eighteenth amendment by name., They objected to such a declaration because it would place the party on, record as endorsing a particular amendment to the constitution as above all others. Soon after the entire commit tee went into session, former Sen ator Wadsworth appeared on the scene and summoned Senator elect Vare of Pensylvanla. another wet leader and member of the res olutions committee to whom he gave a wet plank with a request that a fight for its adoption be made. It called for modification of the Volstead act. Informed that the plank as agreed to by the sub-committee nntinl a direct reference to the eighteenth amendment. Dr. Butler stated that If this should be approved he would carry the wet and dry fight to the floor of the convention after the platform had been submitted. A similar threat was made by proponents of a plank endowing the principles of the McNary Haugen bill if their views should not be met by the resolutions committee. The farm forces in the platform making body were augmented late in the day by Sen ator Norbeck, of South Dakota who stated that he was prepared for a loag finish fight. Prediction that the fight over the relief plank would be trans ferred from the resolutions com mittee to the floor ot the conven tion was made late in. the day by Senator Borah. Borah declared that the differ ences of opinion "ought to be set tled In open convention in the face of the world." "It has now come to a test of loyalty to agriculture of whether one is for the equalization tee or against it,, he said. accept the farmers' plank if they will strike out the provision for the equalization fee." i i Members ot the committee said that the tentative draft made by the sub-committee has been ap proved down to the agricultural plank. This still left to come the fight over the prohibition enforce ment declaration. Earl C. Smith, the Illinois mem ber of the committee, started preparation of the minority re port and a proposed substitute farm relief plank, embodying the equalization fee principle, imme diately after the committee ad journed. He said: "The unwillingness ot party leaders on the resolutions commit tee to support a plank which sets forth specifically the provisions by which crop surpluses can be properly and effectively controlled make necessary carrying the tight for an adequate farm plank to the floor of the convention. The termers are demanding a pledge specifically setting forth the- man ner in which they may secure economic eawMf. U our hope that the convention will meet this lasa eqaarely.

ARTHUR COMPSTON Oregon Delegation Considers Requesting Release From Instruction BY M. E. BARKER Associated Press Staff Writer KANSAS CITY, June 13. (AP) Indications were seen here to night that the name of John H. Hall of Portland, Oregon's acn- didate for vice president, may not be presented to the republican na tional convention. The Oregon delegation, solidly or the Hoover program, and ap parently willing to line up behind the candidate acceptable to Hoo ver leaders for vice president, find in their way their primary instruc tions to support Hall for second place on the ticket. In view of the fact that he was a candidate only because he per mitted his name to be used to fore stall tbe vice presidential prefer ?nce vote of the state republl- :ans going to some unavailable candidate by default, the possi bility was seen that he might see fit to release the Oregon delega tion from its obligation to vote at least one ballot for him, and per mit them to line up from the start with other Hoover states on the vice presidential selection. Arrangements have been made for William A. Carter, Portland at torney, to place Hall's name in nomination before tbe convention is Oregon's candidate. As far as is known, this plan will be adher ed to, and the state's first ballot will be cast for him unless he waives the honor and so instructs .he Oregon delegation. Hall entered the race, Oregon lelegation leaders explained, pri marily to keep the state's vice pres- .dential vote from being given to William Grant Webster, who filed for the place in the past foifr pres idential years. In 1912 he won the Oregon vice presidential vote, and the delegation was forced under the law to support him for one bal lot. Webster ii not an Oregon man. Sentiment on the rice presiden tial policy among Oregon delegates tonight appeared rather definitely Centered around Vice President Dawes. Some sentiment was ex pressed tor Haqford MacNider or Charles R. Harbord, if their can didacies are strongly advanced and acceptable to Hoover leaders. Sen ator Moses of New Hampshire was mentioned as a candidate who might expect favorable considera tion at the hands of the Oregon lelegation if Dawes proved un Available. The principal concern in the minds of the delegates seemed to be to find a strong running- mate New-Uvallabls foP h5aa. )fl,.Hnn .,. w tho fHai ered MRS. PAJfKHURST DIES I nvnnur t sn i Mr, ' A ..

June 13 (AP) The stampede to Hoover assumed high proportions tonight when tbe New York delegation decided to cast its 90 votes for him on tha first ballot, to swell tbe already decisive margin which he received. when the Pennsylvanians decided to join his forces. Just before the convention met in its first night session rhe New Yorkers held a caucas which voted overwhelmingly in favor ot the commerce secretary s canaiaacy but the accretions were not need ed to make the. Hoover caucas a winning one. Tbe purpose ot the night ses sion was to receive the platform but before the delegates began coming in it was evident that the fight over farm relief plank in the resolutions committee would make it impossible to submit that document before tomorrow. It was the first opportunity for many of the Kansas City folks to view tbe big show and they began filling the galleries thirty minutes before the time set tor Chairman Chairman Moses to call the meet ing to order. Mark L. Requa. California Hoover man. proposed adjourn ment until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and his motion was car ried with a whoop from a hand ful of delegattes present at ex actly 7:27 p. m.. central standard time. The session lasted, official ly, about one minute. The galleries roared a stentor ian "no" to the adjournment mo tion, but they had to go home- without seeing the convention in extended session. Delegates leav ing the hall had difficulty getting through the door because of the incoming crowds. Tne New Yora delegation at a caucas tonight decided to cast its 90 votes for Herbert Hoover on the first ballot. On the first ballot in a secret aucas meeting, the delegation saye 77 votes for Hoover with the remainder scattered. James W. aWdsworth, former senator from New York, who was -ne of those casting a vote against Hoover, then moved that the dele gation vote unanimously for Hoover on the first ballot and this motion carried by unanimous yote.
