 Cox's vote of 4ss 1-2 was exactly his previous high water mark as it appeared on the fifteenth ballot Attention of Sen ztor Harrison of the Cox forces was call ed 10 that fact by National Committee man Gufey of Pennsylvania, who asked what the Cox forces were going to do about t Harrison said they were going out for more.
 The convention went into the fortieth ballot with Cox the leader over McAdoo enc. 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- cept Pennsylvania and Louisiana had jumped into the other camps One lone vote n Louisiana was all that remained outside of his home votes, which had stayed with him fer one more ballot, then 10 split up ia various ways.
 Al fhe end of the second ballot after the recess when the Palmer vote had touched two hundred and eleven and il uss apparent that it could be driven no nirber. Former Representative c. c. Car lin of Virginia MT. Palmer's manager, took the platform and announced the withdrawai of the attorney general from the race.
 Chairman Robinson. in presenting him, told the convention significantly that he vas presenting 2 man who had an an neunceusent 10 make which he was conf dent the convention would want to hear
 Expectation was in the air and the convention which only a moment before mad been m the height of disorder in a raczety demonstration. quieted down like magic. until q pin might almost have been heard Go drop In the great auditor iunn aS CarIin took the speakers place -aa6 -said in substsnce:r

 There vas 3 roar of "Hurrah for Pal rner- as the lines broke and the conven- ton went into a recess. The denoue- rrent coming at the end Of thirty eight hsrd-fought and fruitiess ballots, gave fhe same effect as does an over-inhated sutornobise tire when it bursts with a bang and then sizzIes down.
 The entire Palmer vote added to Mo Adoos total on the thirty-eiChth ballot would give him six hundred and sixteen and half. The Palmer votes added to the Cox total on the same ballot would give the Ohio governor five hundred and ninety-four and a half Both leading candidates would fall short of the two thirds which is seven hundred and tgen- ty-nine.
 The eoncensus of opinion seemed to be that Cox would gain in Massachu- setts Michigan and Maine, while McAdoo would gain heavily in Georgia and that Pennsylvania would spit between Davis McAdoo and Cox There was specuia- fion as 10 how long Davis votes would hold
 Delegations voting soldiy under the unit rule but at heart divided between NcAdoo and other candidates. have de- vsloped m feeling. Of which the caucuses which took place on the floor during the recess gave evidences. There was shout ing. waving Of arms and some shaking of fists and a great deal Of scurrying about Platform and convention hall nooor were jammed with an arguing. ersticuisting mass men and women mostly nen-but the argument was not greater m volume with them despite their prepondsrance in number.
