formidable proportions.
While il did seem to offer no slate
for beating McAdoo, still it continued
to occupy a position where the McAdoo
forces had produced no tangible plan for
beating it.
Mc!Adoo Leaders Lack Authority
One consideration which seemed to
make it difficult for the anti McAdoo
forces to make progress was that there
was no way to trade McAdoo out of
his position By direct methods, as none
OF the men in charge of his campaign
here had any authority and there was
nothing to be offered him in way of q
place that would interest him.

ANOTHER BIG SEIZURE

Forty Cases Brought From
Pennsylvania confiscated by
Atlantic City Police

Atlantic City. July 3.--Suspicions Of

iective of large shipments of wet

today with the seizure Of another truck
load of liquors. the second within
week. counting the capture OF S17. 900

Sunday.
Today's seizure was effected by the
Atlantic City police. and marks their
first active participation in the enforce
ment Of the Volstead act. Four mon

under fire after he had hurled q bottle
CT bourbon at policeman.
The prisoners are Otto kirkman and
Charles Thesis, both of Now York. who
are alleged to have been in charge Of
the truck. and Samuel Gross and B. W.
Green, both Of this city.
The whisky. now stored in city Jail
cells. comprises forty four cases brought
from PENNSYLVANIA. 1t is said the New
Workers had established headquarters in
garage after running government
gauntlet in bringing the truck into the
resort. The. charge Ia made that they
were "peddling" the liquor by tele'
phone.
When one of the prisoners threw a
bottle it struck Policeman King in the
hand. The latter drew a revolver and
fred when he thought the four meant
to make break for liberty. The bullet
struck Edward May. chauffeur for a

Sea Girt, n. j., July 3.-With news
Of the result Of the first ballot at the

No word has been received from his

Is in the committee. 1t had the effect
Of satisfying all the potent factors of
the party counsels. even though the ad-
ministration would rather have left it
out since it did not originate in the
White House, and ideas not emanating
from that source have been like home
less orphans out here. AS way Of
letting down easily the twenty -one
Democrats who finally voted for rati-
fication of the treaty with the Lodge
reservations rather than see it COM
pletely defeated as Mr.. Wilson's
stubbornness compelled, 1t was a far
clevercr stratagcm than the inane
phrase of the Chicago plank praising
the action of the Republican senator's
indiscriminately. though they were dia-
metrically apart in their attitudes.
Incidentally the clause opens the way
for graceful acceptance by the party
and Mr.. Wilson Of ratification with
compromise reservations.
The effect Of this pronounccmcnt
ought to be TO call forth fearless
and ringing announcement from Sena-
tor Harding in accordance with the
position be- personally assumed as a re-
yisionist in favor Of ratifying the treaty.

strength Of McAdoo, but expressed no
fear that he could win the nomination
in the face Of the strong opposition OF

and Cox men would conccde nothing,
but claimed they would pick up many
delegates from the scattered candidates
who are expected to rapidly vanish on
the fourth ballot.
McAdoo men admitted their candi.

ers, but pointed out that it is not well
organized and therefore not effective in
holding down what they call the con.
stantly gathering strength of the former
secretary of the treasury.

leaders in III" two ballots taken last
night. On the first McAdo0 had 266
votes; Palmer $50, and Cox 1874. Gov.
