DEADLOCK n CONVEN )~ Jrth Carolinians Are
 Much Divided. BALLoTING FOR GOVERNOR The Eighteenth Ballot Brought in a Dark Horse.
 kitchin Ia in the Lead But stiii Lacks Several Votes for His Nomina-
 tion. Lock Craig Close Second.

Charlotte. N. C.. June 27.--At 2 o'clock this morning. the State Demo- cratic Convention, which has been in session almost continuously since noon Wednesday. had not progressed much farther in the effort to nominate can- didate for Governor than when the first ballot was taken.
 On the thirty-eighth ballet Con- gressman W. W. Kitchin's vote stood at sse. It requires 42s to nominate, The mountain delegation. which IS making the welkin ring in the conven- tfon hall. and on the streets for Craig. was reinforced tonight by fresh dele- gation which arrived on a special train Other western counties will send rein forcements tomorrow if no nomination is reached.
 The effort of an Asheville citizen, not delegate, to address the convention nearly precipitated a row at midnight, but the interloper was elected before trouble came. The new efforts to ad- journ have been booted down.
 The only material change since yes- terday Is that Congressman Kitchin had lost fraction of over four votes. It Is the understanding that the Horne forces are ready to go to Craig. but dare not make the move for fear that Kitchin, who lacks only forty-four votes of the nomination. may secure that number if break comes. At 1c o'clock . motion to adjourn until Tues day at noon was hooted down. rcceiv- ing only one vote. The delegates who have been in continuous session now for forty-one hours, are worn out. but show no signs of giving in.
 State Senator Mason of Northampton County was run in on the eighteenth ballot today as dark horse, but rec ceived only the solid vote Of his county and his name was dropped on the nine teenth ballot. The delegates declare they will have no dark horse. and win rsnlaln in session all summer. # neeeE. sary.
 At gao this morning, following the result or the forty-first ballot, supportT CTS of Craig and Horne in the conven- tion conferfed and offered to withdraw if KitciiIn would also step down and let the convention nominate a dark horse. Kitchin's supporters refused even to enter the conference.
