Wilson Takine No Hand

Senator Glass confirmed reports that President Wilson was not taking any hand in the situation.
 The president has not communicat- ed with me regarding candidates said MT. Glass. "A report that. in recent conversations, he had indicated men whom he opposed is not true. As the situation looks to me tonight each crowd thinks their candidate can win and until some one is convinced other wise, the deadlock will continue
 The Cox people outwardly expect to win tomorrow. The McAdoo people, having checked their downward slide, girded up for a new drive to break the Cox column tomorrow. The Palmer people, declaring that neither Cox nor McAdoo can have their votes, ex- pressed hope for themselves, but only indifferently.
 Each of the three appears to have a strangle hold on the other two. Me Adoo forces in the late Saturday night balloting recovered the one-third veto power they had lost. Cox forces re- tained theirs steadily from the time they acquired it in the fifth ballot, although their margin fluctuated.
 Palmer forces possessed it in fact drought state delegations which. al- though held in a block for McAdoo or Cox by the unit rule, contained dis cordant clements, which. when released would become effective in adding to the deadlock.
 Delegates Growing Impatient
 The growing impatienee of the dele gates, who repeatedly Cast solid blocks | for candidates who showed no promise of becoming successful dark horses. IS expected to show itself tomorrow i Late Saturday night there were in- creasing evidences of temper against the adamant attitude of those who would not release their votes. The l politics of the apparent stubbornness was that they lost control by abandon 1 ing the unit rule. Their position was greeted Saturday night with shouts oi come out of it." and hire hall,' and the like.
 1 McAdoo forces tonight were banking on the proposition that the Cox forces l If they hope to win, must trot out l every reserve vote they possess when the balloting is resumed tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock if they hoped for slide their way. The Cox people confident that they have McAdoc stopped, despite his last ballot rally l Saturday night, planned to continue l their campaign to wear him out. Tho l McAdoo people. declaring that the whole weeks effort had been to wear them out, argued that it had been 2 l failure.
 Scattered seventeen ways from the three leaders to Champ Clark ana l Woodrow Wilson, there was no doubt | whatever that the votes of the conven- 1 ton were ready for any lucky man who could turn one of those lucky tricks of convention legerdemain, which pull a presidential nomination out of a hat With the three leaders knocking their heads together, friends of the candidates of lesser strength showed renewed determination to keep theil favorites in the running.
 Wilson Not In Running
 The attitude of the dark horse back ers who on the last ballot of Saturday night held a combined voting strengtl to lock the situation tighter. For the present, the task of putting over any one of the Big Three without breaking into that block of votes seemed to b, Q remote one.
 The list of dark horses for whom movements seemed to be on foot stiI included. John w Davis of West Vir ginia, Senator Glass of Virginia, Sen
 ator Owen Of Oklahoma, Homer ' Cummings of Connecticut and Bain bridge Colby. Champ Clark was take, of by some and so was -Presiden Marshall. There was an indication that Indiana, which supported hin solidly at the start might soon return to him if the deadlock continued.
 The two votes for President WiisoI on the twenty second ballot. the frs
