WASHINGTON, July 2O-The
tropical storm making its way up the
Atlantic coast from the West Indies
apparently was centered Thursday

edges Of the disturbance. They indi-
cate that the storm is moving slowly
northward.

ST. PAUL, July 20.-Whether VIII
liam sulzer, OF New York, by last hour
appearance before the national Prohl-
bition convention could rally enough
delegates to his support to defeat d..
Frank Hanly, OF Indiana, for the presl-
dental nomination, was the question
that predominated virtually every dis
cussion when the convention was
called to order Thursday morning.
An effort to inject an anti-Catholic
declaration into the Prohibition plat
form caused the resolutions committee
to 90 into executive session while a
bitter debate waged.
