 The Pennsylvania governor said he

 in the way of Pennsylvanias interest. Governor Sproul suggested that if
 the delegation should break up it

"Lowden or Dark Horse"

A. T. Hert, notianal committeeman from Kentucky who cast the Ken lucky vote for Lowden on all but the first ballot, today predicted Lowden would be nominated Saturday.
 One thing seems assured beyond doubt" said he. Tt will either be Lowden or a dark horse"
 Fred Upham, national treasurer, and another Lowden leader, said:
 The race will be settled before morning. New York and Pennsylva- mia can swing the nomination which ever way they want it to go"
 It was said overtures from the Wood forces were being carried to the Johnson camp with the argument that the Johnson forces were the natural allies of the Wood group to prevent the nomination of Lowden.
 Johnson Is Pivot
 Floor Leader Knox of the Wood forces was understood to be in ne gotiation with some of the Johnson delegates from the northwest.
 Talk of Senator Knox as a com promise arose again coincident with the series of conferences and carried with it the argument that he would have the support of Senator Johnson.
 Governor Coolidge's name also was associated with the Knox talk. Sen ator PoindeXter, himself candidate, said he did not believe Wood or Low den could poll 400 votes.
 Inevitably the delegates seeing this situation" he said, twill. in the effort to make a nomination, go to other candidates, and it is possible, and indeed probable, that combina- tions will be found creating new alignments which will in turn lead to new deadlocks, and in my opin- ion it will be some time before Q nomination is reached.
 q do not think the winner can be named now, but he soon will be de veloped."
 According to Johnson's managers, nothing definite was suggested eX- cept that it will be something that would have the whole hearted ap- proval of Johnson. It might look to either Johnson, Knox, Sproule or Harding as tho nominee, it was de- clared.
 Senator Smott, Committeeman ,Hert and Senator Moses, one of Gen. eral Woods managers, participated in one conference, and Senator Bo- rah and William K. Hearst partici- pated in another.
 Will Stick to Sproul
 The Pennsylvania delegates in eau GUS. tonight without record vote, on motion, agreed to stand for Governor Sproul's nomination so long as they feel he has a chance.
 A motion to stick to the governor until he released the delegation was objected to by some of the delegates as preventing them from exercising in dividual judgment. Another motion was made to leave the question of re- leasing the delegation to a committee of two. Fractional state politics crop ped out with the result that both mo- tions were withdrawn and 1t was left to the honor Of the delegates to stick to the governor so long as he seemed to have a reasonable chance to win.

 for incorporation of Iabor's policy in it's platform.
 Samuel GomperS and other labor leaders were in session late today pre- pairing a plan of action. They de clined to divulge their decision. but indicated drastic action against the Republican party would be proposed '' Delegates and labor officials show ed considerable sentiment for the for nation of a labor party. No Third Party Those close to MT. Gompers, how ever. asserted tonight that the action of the Republican convention would have no affect on the non-partican political program and there was mot the slightest possibility of labor put ting a party in the field this year" Pacific coast delegates, advocates of Labor party, made use of the situation and pressed their plan to have the convention authorize a com mittee to investigate during the ne1. year the feasibility of organizing a Labor party and report at the 1921 convention. If they get sufficient support for this proposal, they are prepared to place it before the con- vention early next week.
 The only resolution adopted by the convention today provided that "ev- cry effort be made by the organized labor movement to the end that schools, hospitals, asylums. and other similar public or private institutions. factories as well as other forms O buildings requiring proper care against the dangers of fire" Organized labor was also urged to aid in enforcement of legislation tending to safeguard life, limb and property
 To Act on Ireland
 Despite the fact that the convcn- ton is being held on British soil, Mathew Woll. vice president of the federation, declared tonight that the Irish question would be taken up for consideration by the federation.
 Several of the Canadian delegates announced today that they would not take part in any debate on the Irish question but would leave the matter in the hands of the American dele gation.
 Denounces G. O. p.
 The platform adopted by the Re publican national convention was termed "an outrage and an affront to working people" in statement tonight by MT. Woll. He declared it is "a document with which Wall street and the steel trust ought to be highly pleased
 MT Woll said that the platform gives what l take to be pledge that the United States will police Mexico for the benefit of organized oil, mineral and mining appetites.
 The platform promises no relief from the profiteering and has the effrontery to propose continued sub mission to heartless exploitation. the statement added. The American people are determined to find relief from profitcering. Nothing so acute ly affects them in their daily lives. On this point the platform IS lis dainful of the welfare of the people. We are forced 10 the conclusion that the Republican party proposes to protect it.

ANNULMENT OF PACTS
NEW MERCHANT MARINE ACT
MAY ANNUL TREATIES.
PRESIDENT MUST GIVE NOTICE
TO FOREIGN NATIONS WITH
IN NINETY DAYS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

western Newspaper thioh e
Washington, Sept. illumination
by the State Department OF com
mercial treaties To which the United
States is a signatory has revealed that
between twenty-four and twenty-seven
of such pacts may have TO be abrogal-
ed under the new merchant marine act,
ii is said by department officials.
Section "a of the merchant marine
act yequires the President, within nine
~ days. or by Sept. 3, to give formal
notice to foreign governments having
commercial treaties with the United
States that the American government
intends Ia revoke any claims of the
! conventions which prevent the giving
of preferential treatment TO Americans
or American ships. Officials expressed
the belief that entire abrogation of the
treaties would result from the notice
of the President, as it is not thought
that other nations will consent TO the
amendment Of treaties in order 10 ena-
bile the United States Il discriminate
against their W and ship
ping,
Although considerable doubt exists
as to the precise intent of Congress as
expressed in the merchant marine act
ON account of the radical consequences
which must result in the strict carry
ing out OF section "a, there are ten
treaties which are considered AS spe-
officially failing within the provisions
of the statute which probably will
have 10 be a%brogated.
Although the State Department has
not made public the list OF affected
treaties, the ten conventions which are
expected to be terminated are known
to include those with Belgium, ratified
March 3. 1875; Bolivia, May -, 1858
| Costa Rica, July 10, 1851; Denmark,
April &c. 1926; Great Britain, July 3,
1915; Honduras, July 4, 1864; Italy,
Feb. 20, 1871; Netherlands, Aug. 2G,
1872 Norway, July 4, 1927; Paraguay,
Feb. 4, 1859; Serbia, Oct. II, 1881,
and Spain. July 3, 1902. In the case of
all, however, twelve months notice
must be given of the intention TO abro-
gate.
These include treaties concluded he
tween the United States and the fol
lowing nations: Argentine Republic,
ratified July %, 1858; China, Nov. IL,
1880; Colombia, Dec. IL, 1915: Greece,

Sept. 10, 1896; Panama, Nov. IS, 1908 ;
Tripoli. June 4, 1905, and France, June
II, 1892.
The treaty with France is considered
by officials as imperative at present
as a result of the notice of the inten-
ton TO abrogate given by France 10
the State Department more than a year
ago. The treaties with Argentina, China,
Liberia, Panama and Tripoli make
no provision for remaining In force aft
er notice of a~brogation and would
therefore become Immediately inopera-
tive upon the notice Of the President.
The treaty with Japan, however, re-
quires that six months notice should
be given. and those with Colombia,
Greece, Morocco and Cuba stipulate
twelve months notice before they
cease to become effective.
