ALLIED DELEGATES AND GERMANS HOLD
 ABRIEF MEETING
Most Important Interna- tiOnal Event Since Armi- stice Is Formally Opened
 at Spa
By Associated Pres

Spa, July 5.-There was a brief meet Ing today of the allied and German del- egates, who during the next few days will discuss matters relating to the peace treaty.
 The session was held in the drawing room of the Villa Fraineuse. and the German delegates. Chancellor Fehrep- bach, pr. Walter Simons, the foreign minister, and Herr Wirth minister of finance, were seated at the left end of the long horseshoe table next to the Japanese. There @ere no introductions or shaking of hands
 The president of the conference, M. De La Croix, the Belgian premier, arose and immediately opened what is con sidered to be the most important in- ternatlonal event since the armistice by announcing the order of business, which Included disarmament, repara tions coal supply, the trial of Germans accused of atrocities and the situation at Danzig.
 M De La Croix inquired of Herr Fehrenbach if he desired to make any observations. The chancellor, speaking In German, which was translated by an official interpreter said
 q desire to say on behalf of the German government and of the German people that we have come here to take part Loyalty in the discussion of how the treaty of peace can be executed"
 Mir. Lloyd George, as senior premier there expressed the qualification of the allied delegates and Herr Fehrenbach continued:
 T note that the military questions are to be first discussed. We were in forUed of this last evening and tried to telephone the German minister of war. but reached him too late for him to leave until today. He will arrive, I think, by tomorrow afternoon"
 Premiers De La croix. Lloyd George and Miilerand then conferred and til tomorrow, at an hour to be fixed later.
 T should like also to have Dr. Heinzc. minister of justice here when we take up the question of trials" said Herr Fehrenbach.s
 The three ministers again conferred privately A few minutes later NJ De La Croix announced that the lord chan cellor of England and the French min ister of justice would also attend on Thursday for participation in the dis cussions, The conference recessed un- til called together by NJ. De La CroiX tomorrow. The proceedings today lasted just forty-five minutes.
 pr. Simons remarked afterwards that the atmosphere of the conference was cool but correct. He believed that a good deal could be accomplished.
 Premiers Lloyd George and Miller and expressed themselves as satisfied with the formal beginning,

Washington. McAdoo lost three and cox gained three and a half. Down to that state McAdoo's changes were mostly lcsses and Cox's were mostly gains. In Alaska, MeAdoo lost two, which went TO Cox,
 Polling the, Pennsylvania delegation Of seventy-six was a long task
 A few Palmer votes were cast by tie Pennsylvania delegation, but most Of them were for McAdoo and Cox came next. Nhance Mccormick, former chair man of the national committee, chairman of the war trade board and one of Me- Adoo's associates in government work during the war, cast his vote for him.
 The official Pennsylvania total was; McAdoo 42, Palmer IS. Davis 3, Cox F and 1 absent.
 When the McAdoo gain in Pennsplva- mia was announced, the McAdoo boom CTS began a parade but the band failed tt join in, and a McAdoo boomer shouted demand to know if the band up there telongs to somebody in particular or tae whole convention"
 Chairman Robinson reminded him that the band had been liberal in dispensing music" and at the repeated demand for music which had been wanted to stimu- late a demonstration, the band and organ swung into The Star-Spangled Banner <and forced everybody to take part in what demonstra ton there was.
 On the forty-first ballot Cox made fIf- teen in Alabama, taking them from the sixteen which had. been going to Davis. McAdoo got one and Cox lost one in Illi- nois. Cox got one and McAdoo lost one in Kentucky.
 In Massachusetts, Cox lost two, which went to Davis and Colby. In Minnesota, Cox got one and McAdoo lost.
 In South Dakota, McAdoo lost two and Cox gained.

 Coxs vote of 4eSlh was exactly his previous high water mark as it appeared on the fifteenth ballot Attention of Senator Harrison of the Cox forces was called to the fact that National Commit teeman Guffey of Pennsylvania. when asked what the Cox forces were going to do about Harrison, said they were going out for more.
 The convention went into the fortieth ballot with Cox the leader over McAdoo onte more and with big changes in sight for the calling of the roll.
 On the preceding ballot the Palmer votes from every state in the union ex- eept Pennsylvania and Louisiana had Jumped into the other camps. One lone vote in Louisiana was all that remained outside of his home votes which had stayed with him for one more ballot and then to split up in various ways.
 Down to Connecticut, McAdoo had lost three and Cox had gained three.
 Illinois took two from McAdoo and one from Davis and threw three to Cox.
 Louisiana took one from McAdoo and gave it to Cox.
 Cox lost one of his new-found votes in Massachusetts, reducing his total there to thirty-two. McAdoo made his first gain in Minnesota It was one vote taken rom Cox.
 McAdoo had another loss in North Da- kCta, losing one to Cox.
 PENNSYLVANIA PASSES Pennsyivania asked for a poll. The state was passed to the cpd of the roll call. The state chairman announced that there was confusion in a poll he had made and he would need a poll to straighten it out.
 McAdoo lost two in Virginia, and Cox lest one and a half. Davis and Glass got the gains In

to this bitterness. During the coal strike injunction proceedings it will be recalled that MT McAdoo put out statements calculated to arouse sym pathy for the striking miners. Again in the name of McAdoo, Judge Bonni- well invaded Pennsylvania and pre- vented Palmer from having a solid delegation from his home state. and MT. McAdoo, who had been taking him self out of primaries generally, did not disavow this act of Bonniwells. More over constantly throughout the pre- ln1inary canvass Palmer constantly en- countered the McAdoo candidacy. It was one of his agents who described McAdoo's candidacy as the invisible candidacy which officially did not exist but which was to be found every where, as McAdoo, without trying, got the office-holder support, which Palmer tried for and lost.
 Palmer grew steadily more bitter. That is why throughout the convention thus far he seems to have been bent upon the defeat of McAdoo. In the re- cess of Saturday afternoon. the McAdoo manager approached the Palmer mana ger with the suggestion that they get together.
 We are both administration forces said the McAdoo man. You can't af- ford to lend yourself to the opposition in an effort to nominate Cox"
 Yes" replied the Palmer man. i've are both Wilson supporters. let us both withdraw and renominate Wilson,
 This suggestion was received with sadness By the McAdoo people. But it was not an impossible outcome. And it is not an impossible outcome, if~Xes : terdays conferences produce no better plan, The delegates, as said before, have been watching for the sign in the sky. Perhaps they can get it without renominating or offering to renominata the President Such move would put the whole question into the hands Of Mr Wilson. He would have to accept

No one but an administration man con be nominated by this convention. All talk of dark horse candidates that you hear most prominently is of such names as Secretary Colby, loved by MT. Wilson for his loyalty; MT. Homer Cummings, chosen by Mr. Wilson as his national committee chairman; Ambas- sador John w. Davis of Wilson's diplomatic family and MT. Franklin Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy under MT. Wilson.
 And of the three leading candidates, the only one possessing vitality after Saturdays balloting was MT. Wilson's son-in Jaw, MI McAdoo He might still be nominated in spite of the dem- onstration of the bosses that he could not he .a

 Illinois gave her Palmer two to Me Adoo.
 Indiana took eighteen from McAdoo and threw them to Cox.
 A vote for McAdoo appeared in Massachusetts and Cox got thirty three there.
 That was enough to put the Cox parade in motion and it started oa with a deafening roar.
 The band and organ onened up .n the droning air concernine Ohio. The red-coated Cox band marched out iA

 PARADES REAL COCK
 One of the Cox boosters in a full blooded gamecock on a standard and paraded the unhannv hird about the hall
 It was far past the august cockrells bedtime and he did not know what the fuss was about anyway. so he balanced h al fret np fnnt ar nd the other on the lurchng standard and used his tail feathers and wings to keep him position.
 While the demonstration for Cox over the Massachusetts gain was pro ceeding. Pennsylvania completed its caucus. The agreement was to con tinue to vote for Palmer on the thirty ninth ballot. but on the fortieth to split as follows;
 Cox. IS; McAdoo, fl; Davis, 5; Palmer, 13 one absent.
 A block of Palmer adherents. believ- ing deadlock between McAdool and Cox could not be avoided decided to keep Palmers name on the ballot in the hope that the nomination later might come to him.
 After an elevep-minute demonstration the crowd quieted down and the call of states proceeded where it had been left off.

FULL STRENGTH FOR COX

The nti-administration group de veloped their full strength for Cox. They paraded him up and down and made him look as much like a band l~agon as they could but they failed to convince the delegates, anxious as the latter were to be shown that some one had strength enough to win, so that they might vote for him, get ing in the big national parks or in the Canadian northwest that most of them had planned.
 Many of the delegates care little who is nominated. They are tired of stay ing here, they see their outing time and money being consumed. and they doubt whether any democrat can win the election anyway. They would have voted for Cox if any one had been able to show them how any anti -adminstra tion candidate could be nominated. Or they would have voted for McAdoo if anyone had shown them how the ad- ministration divided between McAdoo and Palmer, and with no decision from the White House could control the nomination. They have certain in terest in the head of the ticket, but the interest is local. If they come from wet states tkey would like to see a wet nominated, not that they think Vet could be elected President but because they feel that wet national candidate would help their local ticke cts If they come from dry states they op- pose a. wet for exactly the opposite reason. j1.3 z sz Hssa,
