ST. PAUL Min, July 1S-Prohibi-
tfonists who came to st. Paul one day
in advance of the opening of their ma
tional convention, hoped against hope
today that their predicted merger with
dry elements of other parties could
be- accomplished. Up to tho open
ing of the "get together conference"
today, at which scores of prominent
bull moose, dry democrats and dry re-
pubicans had been expected, there
were only handful of other party
representatives here.
National Chairman Hinshaw and
other prohibition leaders, sought to
round up all the bull moose in sight
and found one, Colonel ]. M. Inger-
soil, OF Idaho, progressive national
committeeman, from his state, who is
strongly in fvor of merging the bull
moose with the prohibitionists.
Colonel John M. Parker, of Lou
isiana, progressive nominee for vice
president, was reported today to have
turned the same kind of cold shoulder
toward the drys as did Henry Ford.
kilograms from New Orleans today
indicated that Parker had refused un-
der any circumstances to be pro-
hibition candidate for vice president.
At the get together conference, ora
tory was to be free and unlimited.
Delegates, including hundreds Of
women who had spent sleepless
nights in hot Pullmans, found st.
Paul Just as hot when they arrived
and prepared to take plenty OF fans to
the convention hall.
Disappointment at failure Of other
party chieftains to arrive, was echoed
early today in statements by some
prohibitionists that they would fight
any move to change the name Of the
party.
'If we can't adopt the bull moose
our name to the rogressive-prohibi-
ing.
The race for presidential nomina-
ton seemed to have narrowed down
to two today. Former Governor Eu-
gene N Foss, of Massachusetts, 1t
was reported had decided not to run.
J.. Frank Hanly, former governor OF
Indiana, and William Sulzer, former
governor Of New York, were the ac-
tive candidates.
A movement to change tie name of
the prohibition party to the national
reform party met with heated opposi-
ton this afternoon at conference
of prohibition delegates prior to OPEN

German front and threatened to sur
round a part of General Won Linsing-
ems army. The Russians have ad-
vanced their lines to the north bank
of the river Lipa and are strengthen
ing their new positions on the entire
front. The advance widens the
Russian salient, extending into the
Austro-German front southeast OF
Kovel, thus removing the danger OF
crushing enemy attacks on both
sides of the Russian wedge.
All along the eastern front, the
cars armies have suddenly resum-
ed the initiative. The Russian left
wing in southern Bukowina is again
in motion against the reinforced
Austrian army. The infantry COM
bats are becoming more frequent in
Galicia and both artillery and IN
