H Leader Refuses to Make State's Vote Unanimous for Roosevelt in Chicago By Frank G. Gorrle Chicago, July 18. Members of the Washington state delegation to the Demo cratic national convention ex pressed bitterness today over their inability to make the vote of the three Pacific northwest states unanimous for the re nomination of President Roose velt because Hugh De Lacy took a walk" last night. De Lacy, president of the Washington Common wealth Federation, refused to cast a vote because he said no candi date had been offered the con vention who could keep the nation out of war. Idaho, Oregon and Washing ton had cast their entire 34 votes . for Roosevelt when De Lacy interrupted the proceed ings to challenge E 1 w o o d Caples' announcement that "Washington 'casts its 18 votes for President Roosevelt." Poll Required De Lacy asked the conven tion chairman to poll the dele gation and when it came his turn to vote said: "There being no candidate who can keep the nation out of war, I am present but not voting." De Lacy left the convention floor after his statement. (In Seattle today political ob servers speculated whether De Lacy's action meant the W.C.F. would bolt the party in the com ing campaign. At various times he has threatened that his or ganization would break with the Democratic party unless a platform was adopted and a candidate selected at Chicago agreeable to federation leader ship). The Washington standards were carried in the Roosevelt demonstrations. David Epps and Stephenson Smith carried the Oregon stan dards. Willis Mahoney, chairman of the Oregon delegation, second ed the nomination for Oregon by saying: 'The mandate of the people of Oregon demands that we renominate President Roose velt." U. S.
