but II was always Wnen 1t was impus-
sible on account of the existing cor.
nition that the favored one could rc.
ceive enough votes to secure the nom
nation. Zeal could have named Nav
natd on he twenty eighth ballot, and
on the next Maynard could have named
DeIl. but lhey were careful nor ia
DO 1t. Had they tried 1t, some OF thu
liberal cllairmen would have promptly
changed back. Once or twice one vote
was gwen to Holland by Deal, and once
one cana from Maynard. But tl,e
Narsenond senator did not get any OF
Youngs votes. Chairman Parker, Of
eighty votes every time. He made no
effort to have any fun.
Chairman Wool, of the Maynard dele
cation, mad more enjoyment out of the
situation than anybody else. He made
his announcements dramatically, held
frequent conferences. withheld May
nard's names as long as possible when
giving In his votes and took pleasure
In twitting the solid Holland delega-
ton. AS the hours went by the dele
gates moved in and out of the hall, |
evidently believing that the fight
would be long drawn out. The secre.
tary was the only man who worked.
AS time wore on the ballots became |
more regular as ordained in the pri-
mary.
AS soon Us the one hundred and thlrd
ballot had been announced, j. V. Trehy
arose and moved that the convention
adjourn for one hour. He commented
on the continuance OF the deadlock and /
said that apparently the meeting was
destined to last all night, and. which
was much more to the purpose added
that it looked as though some one
other than the four candidates would
be the nominee. His motion was
agreed to without opposition. II
Air Full of Rumors.
If appearances around the Nanse- !.
mond Hotel for the next hour We're
not deceptive the Holland people took {
nc part in the conferences which We're !,
participated in BY the other forces S
The air was full OF rumors when the
delegates came back at 1915 but the !
1rst ballot indicated no change, eacn t
delegation remaining solid and loyal. S
3allotinE proceeded with much more
'epidity Mr.. Wool cutting out his q
,leasantry. All the leaders were In t
he hall save Mr.. Trehy, and it was !
presumed he was in conference with +
foung. Delegates were quiet, the /
nonotonous calling OF the secretary I
icing uninterrupted. But there was
ceiling of tension.
AT the close of the one hundred and /
lfty-third ballot Mr.. Whitehead arose
nd moved adjournment to 10 o'clock =
eAt morning. He said that the nomi-
ation would have to be decided out
ide and 1t was useless to stay in the :
all and keep up the voting.
s. 7. Montague. of Portsmouth want
d to know where in the name of ;,
leaVen the delegates would go If they v
adjourned, as there were no accom- II
locations in the town. He said they t
'ould have to roam the streets or f
SIX policeman to lock them up. A a
dice from the gallery shouted, That's n
here you ought to go" g
Mr.. Parker moved as substitute
