out of it. Illinois gave her Palmer
two to a1cAdoo.
Indiana tOok eighteen from McAdoo
and threw them to Cox.
Cox got thirty-three in Massachu-
sets.
That was enough to put the Cox
parade in motion, and it started off
with Il deafening roar.
The band and organ opened up in
the droning air concerning Ohio"
The relocated Cox band marched out
in single file, spreading itself across
the width of the first balcony and let
out a crashing din. One of the Cox
boosters brought in a full-blOOded
game cock on II standard and Plraded
the unhappy bird about the hall.
While the demonstration for Cox
over the Massachusetts gain was pro-
ceeding, Pennsylvania completed its
caucus. The agreement wns to con-
tinue to vote for Palmer on the thirty
ninth ballot, but on the fortieth to
split as follows:
Cox 16, Mc.Adoo Al, Davis 3, Palmer
IL and / absent. A block of Palmer
a%dherents, believing a deadlock be-
tween McAdOO and Cox could not be
avoided. decided to keep Palmer's
name on the ballot in the hope hat
the nomination later might come TO
him.
Palmer's friends made the point
that he had not withdrawn, but had
only released delegates from pledges.
After an eleven-minute demonstra-
tion the crowd quieted down and the
call of states proceeded where it had
beer left off.

Missouri divided Palmer's vOtes be-
tween Cox and McAdOo; Oklahoma

Carolina delegation where McAdoo
forces have predOminated by a mar
row margin and the delegation has
beer held for him under the unit rule.
1t was deferred until the conclusion
of the roll call.
Tennessee stayed twenty for Davis.
Cox gained ten in Virginia and Nc
Adoo gained two and a half.
The District of Columbia Topped
solid six for Cox. II had been solid
for Palmer. Porto Rico's six went
solid for McAdoo. The Canal Zone
also went solid with its two for Nc
AdoO.
