THIRTlETH BALLOT
(OfficiaD

On the thirtieth ballot McAdoo over

to first place by gradual accessions
and Washington, On that ballot the
leaders stood:
McAdoo iO3 IL, Cox 400 H. Palmer
1853, Davis So, owen 80.
The changes on the 30th ballot show
ed that McAdoo gained 8. Cox lost l..
and Davis lost ). There were rumblings
that Georgia might flop to Nc
Adoo on the 31st.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi
moved that the rules be suspended ana
that on the next ballot the low cam
didate be dropped on succeeding bai-
lot until there was a nomination. He
proposed that the same order prevail.
A point of order was made against 1t.
Chairman Robinson .overruled points
of order against the proposal. Parlia.
mentary inquiries came in a flock 10
the chair and the motion was de.
layed while they were being answered.
A roll call was demanded.
Various delegates wanted to know 4.
the dropping of the low candidate
would not drop the second man when
only two were left. The chair gave the
opinion that it would not. Twenty
minutes debate for and against the
suspension Of the rules was in order
and another motion to table was ad
vanced. 1t was not debatable

NTY.NINTH BALLOT
0fficiaD

Stuck in the mire Of % ballots the
democratic national convention was
still hopelessly deadlocked today and
there We're no tangible prospects for
relief. A motion to drop the low man
on each ballot for the purpose OF
speeding up was ruled out of order.
A long line of bets that 4 nomination
would be made soon after the oonven-
ton today were lost. The leaders
frankly admitted they did not know
where to turn for a solution of the
deadlock. The nearest approach to !
prediction which commanded much a.
tention was Chairman Robinsons
guess that If the convention failed TO
do anything today 1t would do some
thing tomorrow. For six ballots which
were taken during the first hours Of
the convention McAdoo and Cox lines
held tight and the only advantage
gained by any candidate was a slight
raise for Davis, counted in the dark
horse colmun.
During the intermission between
the 9th and 2Sth ballots the floor was
flooded with coming changes for Nc
Adoo for some reason or another time
was given between ballots, and it was
used for conferences. The McAdoo
people were particularly watching In
diana and making inquiries about the
hall that 1t were true that McAdoo
had authrized withdrawal on his be-
half. No such report could be traced
to any responsible source.
During the wait the aisles were
jammed with delegates and leaders
with their heads together in punches.
The report came out of the crowd
that on the 29th Indiana would throw
29 of her total of 80 to McAdoo.
During the intermissin between the
2Sth and Goth ballots today there were
rumblings of slide to McAdoo head

Effort Ia Start Landslide

Dark horse speculation was running
riot today. Almost every living demo-
crat who ever got headline prominence
in newspaper was trotted out at one
time or another. 1t was an unusuai
delegate who did not have a "wha,
about Jimmy this or Bill that" to fire
at any friend he met
Leaders combed the list for availables
but of all the talk there came nothing
even TO suggest name on which a
new moralization might be made.
The convention assembled with pros.
poets Of more uproarious noise THAI
has characterized it from the start.
Unless some wholly unexpected shift
OF interest in the 23rd ballot, rival
workers tried to plan gain at the
first opportunity to jar the great body
out of its poise and into a landslide.
AT 1920 o'clock Chairman Robinson
called the democratic national conven-
ton to order for its ninth session.
Leaders on both sides, as they came
into the hall, were of the agreement
that the first ballot today the 23ri.
of the convention, would be much the
same as the last taken Saturday night.
Opened With Prayer
Unanimous consent the Declaration
of Independence was read to the con-
vention by former Governor Ralstoh
of Indiana. While the reading was
going on the leaders took up to do
some more comforting. According to
the stories of the various managers,
ever.
Deadlock Continues
The Cox people declared: "McAdoo
can't be nominated if we stay here
three weeks" The McAdoo peopl.
made practically the same prediction
about Cox. Both forces were claiming
np around 500 delegates on the early
roll calls TODAY.
Alternates Voting
Many of the delegates seats ware
filled today with al.ernates and there
were new sets of faces in many of
the cductses and conferences. The
McAdoo leple turned considerable at
tention 10 the Maryland delegation of
which Joshua w. Miles # Baltimore,
iaitinal revenue cCrccioi, was leader.
There were many empty seats in the
New York dt ,ga- -on'.' place and it
was said that beth delegates and
alternates had drSrted. The same sit
uation prevailed in the delegation or
s,rlc other eastern states. Delegation
cnarlnen have said they were prepared
t. cast the full yt'cs BY proxy.
Governor EaAton who reminded
many Of President Cleveland as he
sto'd reading the Cesar alton Of in
dependence, was all but drowned out
by the buzz aud rmtle OF conversa-
l!oa around the hail. Ntbody seemed
intei estec in the d;",siation Of inde-
pendcnce-not even the officials here.

Moore, manager for Cox, heard of the

sent word to the war horses to stand

feet. The convention went into the
18th ballot with an air of suppressed
expectation.

ment against Cox. He added there had
been no break and that he did NOT

Cox forces, came on the floor, he said

The first evidence of a break in the
deadlock in the democratic national
convention today came on the 29th
ballot when Tom Taggart rose in his
place in the Indiana delegation and
sled 30 of the Hoosier states votes
to McAdoo.
1t was the first turn over of the
| day and for a moment the McAdoo
crowd was stunned. Then as it dawneo
upon them that the shift contained tn.
possibility Of stampede, they gath
cred breath and proceeded to use II

cession Immediately was organized and

exhorting other delegations to follow

their war horses to stand pat and re-

Cox crowd remained in their seats
and watched the demonstration. Judge
Moore of Youngstown, Ohio, the Cox
manager, viewing the demonstration
without evidence of alarm, said: "All
right, Wen still have so votes the
best of McAdoo when this ballot
closes"
A McAdoo man nearby remarked
that Moore had just lost $500 bet

San Francisco, July 5.--The demo

orte son contenders, Owen, Cummings,
with two recorded for President VIII

Both McAdoo and Cox contenders
were emphatic in claims for success
today, but they had no definite basis
for their confidence to make public.
1t has been a rule of democratic
conventions under the two-thirds rule
that the first man to secure a majority

ination. at Baltimore in 1912 was an
exception into which unusual cir
cumstances entered.
On the face Of the 22nd ballot
Palmer forces were holding key
to open the door to a majority. The
favorite son votes, presumably were
being withheld from the McAdoo
deadlock for some definite purpose.
In some cases they were looked upon
as lightning rods set up in the hope
Of storm and scurry for dark
horse nominee. They may also have

The ambassador force were the main
reservoir from which Cox and Nc
Adoo hoped TO draw reinforcements
to capture a majority.
