TO BLOCK McADOO

San Francisco. July 1.-The attempt
AT a combination against the nominal
ton Of VIM. q. McAdoo was still be-
ing carried when the convention went
into its night session, but it was still
without arfE definite results
Lack of headway was ascribed 70
the absence of central control and 70
the feeling among many of those i'm
porruned to Ioln that it was really
directed against Pres. Wilson rather
than wholly i movement against
McAdoo. That feeling, is manager
agreed, was its weakness.
Another real difficulty was that
many of the supporters Of candi-
dates having enthusiastic followings,
chiefly Palmer and Cox. argued that
they should not be asked 20 desert
their candidates until it had been de-
veloped whether they can gain
strength. In these camps were scat
tering delegates who preferred Nc
Adoo TO any dark horse The pro-
motors of the attempted combination
againts McAdoo were proceeding de-
sultorlly and one after another they
continued 10 bring forward such
names as former Speaker Clark. Vice
Pres. Marshall. Homer 5. Cummings.
Cambridge Colby and even William
Jennings Bryan. Clearly and admit
teddy there was no name about which
they could rally.
The nearest to an impartial csti-
mate obtainabie showed. that on the
first ballot the strength of Palmer
would be about rs, with McAdoo fol-
lowing with "a and Cox III third
place with $50. This left All dele
gates scattered among the other u
candidates placed in nomination.

TO BALLOT ON Ia

Auditorium, San Francisco. July L
With fourteen candidates places be-
fore it, for the presidential nomina-
ton. the Democratic national conven-
ton. after a brief session today, found
the platform committee unable TO
make a report and adjourned until
5 o'clock tonight (midnight Boston
time}
An attempt TO suspend the rules of
the convention and go ahead with the
ballotinG was met with such obvious
disa pproval by the convention that It
was not pressed. The name of John
W Davis. American ambassador to
Great Briton. wound up the list of
names on the program for nominating
speeches. but in the last minutes the
names of Sen. Simmons of North
Carolina. Sen. Glass of Virginia and
Francis Burton Harrison. Governor
General of the Philippines were add
ed. and when the call of the states
had been completed the names of IA
men in all had been placed before
the convention.
The cycle of ttllrteens which has
run through the administration of
Woodrow Wilson was narrowly
avoided.
The platform committee continued
working during the day hoping to
l1arrnonlze the differences over the
prohibition plank ana the League OF
Nations and the Irish question.
Delegates who were interested IN
the Irish question had a conference
soon after the adjournment of the
convention TO decide what would De

of the irish republic.
Concentrated efforts were being
made TO bring n the report Of the
platform committee when the conven-
tion reconvened at s O'Clock but
there were no assurances that 1t
would be ready then.
Today's brief first session was
markedly quiet and orderly III COM
parison with the noisy and turbulent
session of yesterday. No one could
estimate the probable duration Of to-
nights session and there were no as
surances that it might not continue
until daylight.
The sub committee plank on Ar
menia also was. rejected by the full
committee. The plank IS understood
TO have declared the United States
should consider it duty to see that
complete independence was guaran-
teed TO the new Armenian republic.
