Wood supporters affirmed that he would show strength in excess 6f 300 on the first ballot. Some placed It at 350 and it requires 483 to nominate. Lowden Looks to East. Lowden supporters asserted they needed only the adherence of a strong eastern delegation to the Illinois gov ernor's standard to put him over. It was an open secret that they were ilirting with the big New York repre sentation, pledgea to wicnoiaa muu Butler at the outset and with some known Wood strength in its ranks.

The, convention seemed to be un able to decide whether It would give the Ohio candidate a demonstration to be classed with those accorded the others. AC the end of five minutes the noise was worse if anything, and some of the' Ohio delegates were standing on their chairs again and cheering. Senator Lodge walked to the front of the platform, hesitated for a full minute and then rapped for order. There was no appreciable ef fect. While there was still much noise at the end of ten minutes of Harding enthusiasm. Senator Lodge presented R. B.

Dur ing the first six hours of a sweltering sesslont oday the republican nation?! convention got the big three John son, Lowden and Wood in nomination before it and then passed on to the string of candidates who may figure as the dark horses. As the convention forged ahead with out.a break for rest or freshment on the hottest day of the year, the tired and exhausted delegates began asking tneir leaaers tu arrange a recess or adjournment. Adjournment Sought. , Some of the western , contingent wanted to adjourn without taking a ballot after the nominating speeches had been concluded, and some of the other Including the Illinois delegation, which Is for Lowden, wanted to ar range for an adjournment after the second ballot. The Wood people stood on their refusal to have an adjourn- men after the first ballot on which they expected their candidate to show his minimum of strength. - When the nominating speeches got to Judge Prltchard of North Carolina, the delegates and visitors were so lm partlent and unwilling to listen that former Senator Butler who placed the Judge In nomination, had a hard time making himself heard. Speaker Gillette of the house of rep resentatives took the platform and placed In nomination Qovernor Cool- idge of Massachusetts. Prltchard Named. Delaware passed and Florida ylolded to North Carolina for the nomination of Judge Prltchard. Former Senator Butler made the nominating speech. Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland Michigan, Mlnesota, Mississippi, Mis sourl, Montana, . Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico all passed and then come New York. Ogden Mils of New York took the platform to nominate Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler.

While Dr. Butler was being nomi nated the New York delegation wa polled for first ballot sentiment. It showed Butler , Wood 10, Hoover I, Lowden 2, Coolldge 2, Harding 3, Poindexter 1. Forcing the convenUon along at ex perss speed to make up for the time lost In settlement of the, treaty issue, efforts were made to hold the time given to demonstrations down to a minimum. Seconding speeches were limited to five minutes, and to two minutes when there were more than two seconds. The effort was to reach the balloting before adjournment to night. ' Johnson Speaker Jeered. All the nominating speakers got ready responses from the convention. Charles S. Wheeler of California, who nominated Johnson, got roars and cheers from the convention when he referred to the Wilson administration as "the royal family' and by inference to William O. McAdoo aa "the cronu prinoe." "Are you prepared for four yi more of them?" he shouted. The crowd answered "No, no." But when Mr. Wheeler referred to Senator Johnson as having had an Inadequate campaign fund, the crowd let go a round of boos. Jeers and guffaws.
