Market Neglected For Convention News New York U.PJ Wall street read the convention news today and neglected the stock market From sheer neglect, the mar ket sagged in all major divi sions. The Suez Canal incident ap peared out of the picture. The street attributed the drop of nearly five points at the low in Gulf Oil to disappointment over failure of directors to split the stock in line with expectations. Royal Dutch, the other interna tional oil of recent canal weak ness, held steady. Elsewhere the oils ranged from a loss of nearly two in Shell to a rise of -more than point in Amerada. Magma, off four, led a decline in the cop pers. Several brass issues moved higher and there were a few oth er isolated gains, but most shares receded leisurely.
