BURTON BOOM Shows
SIGNS OF COLLAPSE
Effort of Cleveland Man to Bind Ohio
Delegation Fails-Harding
Dark Horse.
CBy the Sun News serviceD

Chicago. June 6.-A storm broke in
the Ohio delegation tonight when at
a meetiIN of the delegates Paul How
land. of Cleveland, a close friend OF
Senator Burton. introduced a resolu-
tion to bind the Ohio delegates to vote
for Mr.. Burton in the convention until
he, personally, should release them.
The opposition came from Cincin-
natl and Southern Ohio, and was so
pronounced that Mr.. Howland finally
withdrew the resolution TO prevent its
being tabled. The flare-up was re-
garded by many as foreshadowing a
collapse Of the Burton boom.
Senator Warren G. Harding. tenn
porary chairman of the convention, is
being groomed as dark horse. with
the approval or acquiescence OF some
of the Ohio delegates, to prevent the
nomination of Justice Hughes in the
early balloting.
The Ohio uprising was the talk Of
the hotel lobbies tonight and was re-
garded by many as very serious en-
barrassment to Mr.. Burton's candi-
dacy on the eve of the meeting OF the
convention.

One night recently he was playing
pinochle with some German friends. Luck
was with him and he won about 1900
marks. or 5000. The players suddenly
smelled smoke, and upon going to the
window, discovered that there was fire
on the floor below. Without a moments
hesitation the candidate pocketed his
winnings, climbed down the fire escape,
and burst into the apartment below. He
found a helpless, frightened old lady cry
ing for assistance. He seized her in his
arms and carried her down the fire es-
cape. And when he had deposited her
In a place of safety, he gave her all his
winnings.
The man told the story splendidly and
I was greatly impressed. A character
such as he had described was certainly
a man to be trusted.

Senator Borah is of the opinion that an
