Break Up of the Palmer
Force Was the Turning
Point.
By n. n. RICllEY.
rSpeciai 10 The West Virginianl

SAN FRANCISCO, July g.
Governor James NJ. Cox, Of Ohio,
was nomlnted for president BY the
Democrats on the 44th ballot at
l:40 this morning.
The McAdoo people fought
gamely 10 the last, but finally went
down to defeat under a terrible
pounding by the Cox forces. Four
teen ballots from ten o'clock Mon
day morning until FIVE o'clock IN
the afternoon failed to break the
deadlock which held the conven-
tion as in a vice. Then from sheer
exhaustion and in the hope that
during the adjournment some solu,
ton Of the problem Of how to get
72S votes for somebody might DC
found, an adjournment was taken
until $3.50 in the evening.
During the fourteen ballots the
pendulun OF favor swung back and
forth between Cox and McAdoo the
net advantage being with McAdoo'
McAdoo started the day with
3S4 y votes and Cox with AIS. Al
the five o'clock adjournment NC
Adoo had increased TO 399 and Coz
had fallen to 377. Palmer got q
sudden boost just before the ad-
iournment and finished with 24l,
his biggess vote since the llth bal.
lot and within rs Of his high at
any time. During the adjournment
Palmer and his leaders conferred
and il was decided that II during
the first two ballots at the evening
session he fell back he would re.
lease all Of his delegates from any
further obligation to him and per,
mit them to vote for whom they
pleased. This announcement was
made after the 36th ballot, the
second ballot Of the evening ses-
SION. and a recess Of 20 minutes
was taken to give the McEdoo and
Cox managers q chance to work on
the released Palmer delegates.
During the 39th ballot following
the recess the air was electric with
suppressed excitement. Would
McAdoo or Cox get the bulk OF the
Palmer vote? Georgia's e6 votes
went 10 McAdoo and the McAdoc
delegates paraded and yelled fol
Ave minues. The Massachusett:
Palmer strength went to Coz, and

parade which lasted ten minutes.
The Pennsylvania delegate:
stuck with Palmer on the ballot

EMPIRE STATE MAN PREPARES
 "OYSTER SETS

WEST SAYVILLE, N. Y. Sept. IA (by Associated Press) ).-Propagation of young oysters all ready to "set out" guaranteed to multiply with pro- per care into a flourishing brood, may result from experiments just conclud- ed by w. F. Wells of the New York Conservation Commission, who recent ly issued a report on his extensive study of oyster breeding.
 Mr. Wells, at his laboratory on the shore of the Great South Bay, has suc- ceeded in keeping alive millions of young oysters from, the larva to the "set' stage. Tn his report he said that hatcheries modelled after his plant can be built wherein the oysters man be incubated until time to set them out into deep waters.
 His method for developing oyster "sets" from oyster seed, or spawn, removes one of the chief obstacles in the commercial propagation of oysters, MT. Wells said
 The seeds are so small," he ex- plained from the time they are laid by the oysters until they are mature enough to attach themselves to a sur face in sets, that experimenters have had the keeping of the tiny shellfish supplied with a fresh supply of salt water and food without washing them all down the drain
 When the oysters reach the set stage, they can safely be put in the beds to fend for themselves. After that time the oyster grows very rapid. ly for a period of some weeks and gains full maturity within three or four years"
 One of the chief obstacles, that of handling the larvae or tiny eggs while changing their water, the report says, was overcome by the use of a centrifugal machine, which concen. trates the eggs in a small receptacle
 
 The matching apparatus was made of a series of large inverted glass car. boys, fitted with tubes which per mitted fresh supply of salt water and air to percolate so gradually that the development of the eggs was not re- tarded. Microscopic examination is necessary in following the gradual de- velopment of the egg to the set stage.
 MT. Wells declared it is a we'll. known fact that in the last 10 years the production of oysters has been very much reduced. It was to deter. mine the exact cause of this reduction he said, that his studies were under taken. It has been suggested, he said l that pollution of the waters has in. jured many of the most productive beds in Connecticut and in the vicin- ity of New York.

AUSTRALIANS DISCUSS

AUSTRALIA, Sept. IA (by Associa- ted Press) Prohibition in the Uni ted States was discussed in tue an nual report of the Federal Viticultural Council of Australia recently made public here. The report declared pro- hibitiOn forces in America faced an emergency caused by opposition to the law.
 After mentioning that the supreme court has upheld the constitutionality of the prohibition law, the report said that at "the height of their victory the American prohibitionists have been brought rudely to earth by the great wave of revulsion against the bone dry enforcement of the law, which is sweeping through the east ern states.
 ''The war cry England next has been forgotten in the emergency of the situation at home" the report contin- ued. From far and wide there are arising demands for information con- cerning the methods employed by the Anti-Saloon League in raising funds the alleged use of which such funds and the alleged use to which such funds have been put.
