A rattling sound that resembled firing

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-Scenes in
the convention hall today were as un-
like those of yesterday as the Nstock ex-
change IS unlike a Billy Sunday taber-
uacle.
Yesterday the convention possessed a
spiritual quality, under the magic spell
Of Bryan, the evangelist, and Bourke
Cochran of Tammeny, consummate actor,
brilliant in debate, lovable for his Irish
bIarney, who rendered within an hours
space an argument concerning personal
liberty, in reference to a mans right to
drink light wines and beer Of his own
manufacture in his own home, which is
sure to take its place in permanent rec
oTds as a ella saic in debating.
Many declare that Bryans peroration
surpassed his famous -cross of gold and
crown of thorns' speech which gave him
his first nomination.
AS they counted ballots today the dele
gates still still tingled with memories of
that clash of intellects on this stage in
the late hours OF yesterday and lest the
words would be lost in the convention

WILL WIN,
PREDICTS GLASS
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIAIMs.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 3.-It will be
McAdoo and / say about the seventh bal
lot" Senator Carter Glass (Va0, said to-
day.
After a feverlsh night following a hec-
tic yesterday three candidate this morn
ing seemed to have anywhere from q
good to q fighting chance to wake up to-
morrow, the Fourth of July, the demo-
cratic nominee for the presidency Of the
United States.
These three in the order of their
chances are:
William Gibbs McAdoo
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
Gov. James NJ Cox of Ohio.
Former Secretary of tho Treasury
McAdoo was the big favorite in the
betting as the delegates began to arrive
at the Auditorium to begin the second
day of balloting. His friends predicted
a gain of some thirty votes on the first
ballot-the third counting from the
start last highland approximately the
same on the fourth. Following that n
considerable increase Is expected with
his nomination following on the fifth or
sixth ballot.
The supporters of Attorney General
Palmer and Gov. Cox, to the contrary.
claim everything is going precisely as
they wish and that they are not terrified
by the fact that McAdoo led in the two
ballots of last night
LAST EFFORT TO
STOP McADOO.
1t is known that a last desperate ef-
fort is under way today to check the
advance Of the McAdoo hosts. Caucuses
and conferences were scheduled last night
in a final attempt to ferret out ways
and means to form a coalition of some
kind to put over one of the leaders now
in the race, and, falling that, to lead
out the prancing dark horse and send
him In winner under the nomination
sweepstakes wire.
1t is understood, however, that these
efforts met with little success. Nothing
more than a very casual understanding
was reached. it was said, to boost each
others game, while scotching the Nc
Adoo boom. So frail was this entente
that it was deemed of little practical
use when it came to the rough and tum-
BILE needs of the day.
William ]. Bryan, it is now quite clear,
is no longer feared The day when the
war horse of the democratic party could
control the party and could make or

Discussion was devoted principally to
how longit viii take" Various est-
mates were offered aud predictions made.
The most sanguine OF McAdoo's sup
porters did not expect a winner to be
developed under six ballots. Other pre-
dictions ran mp to higher numbers, but
there were 4 few brave enough to
prophesy a deadlock.
Most Of the delegates here frankly want
to so home tonight.
They want to clean up todays ses-
sion, make a few hnal tourist purchases
and use the reservations on outgoing
trains which they have hung grimly on TO
for a week
Many state delegations held last
minute meetings at their hotels and
We're delayed in arriving.
The galleries filed more rapidly.
PRAYER CALLS
FORTH SECOND.
Rev. james L. Gordon of the First
Congregational church, San Francisco,
gave the invocation.
The minister prayed for international
thoughts In the convention and quoted
Tennyson's line or "the parliament of
lnui the federation of the world" max
ing a plea TO- the league OF nations.
The prayer was interrupted by a shout
Of good" as the chaplain. asked divine
aid for President Wilson.
After the prayer came the mighty tones
Of the organ. pealing the Star Spangled
Banner" as the great throng stood, many
singing
Chairman Cummings OF the national
committee came forward with a telegram
In his hand ready to read it when order
was restored.
Cummings read President Wilson's re-
ply to the message OF greetings sent
him by the convention.
There was a tense silence delegates
leaning eagerly forward in their seats.
as Cummings started reading. very slow
~, pausing after each sentence.
Spectators were still arriving in the
galleries at this period.
There was subdued handclapping at
intervals.
SHORT BURST
OF HANDCLAPPING.
At Wilson's prediction Of victory after
victory" for the party, there was a short
burst Of handclapplng, principally on the
floor.
The band struck up Hail to the
Chief" at the end Of the ge and the
delegates stood up and cheered for a few
seconds
The convention was called to order and
roll call of states began at 10: :07.
There was a lot of confusion'and gavel-
ing. while Robinson roared for order.
The galleries were stIll only partly
filed as the session started.
1t was evident that all of the delega-
tions had not arrived as there were many
vacant seats on the floor.

Bryan Betters 'CrOWn of ThOrns'
Speech, But OratOry Is Futile

uproar stenographic records OF them are
herewith reproduced.
When he was discussing war, Bryan
said in reference to constitutional pro-
visions which make it easy to enter
war II am not willing to take respon-
sibility for what may occur. /, like the
gentlemen, believe in a God. Some day
1 shall stand before that judgment bar
of God and when I arrive there there
shall be no blood upon my mind of
people who were slaughtered while
talked politics"
SECOND CLIMAX is
WITHOUT WARNING.
The second climax came when Bryan
was speaking about the treaty. He be-
gan in low, confidential tones: "My
friends, you can not call me the enemy
of Woodrow Wilson. Why, it was my
treaty" he continued in conversational
style, that he took to Paris, and | have
helped him to become immortal by Civ
ing the world a peace plan"
He spoke these last words slowly and
with ponderous effect. And, my
friends" hk continued, giving little
warning by his attitude of the crash

break the political fortune of any man

The demonstrations of yesterday are
being cited to prove that contention.

voting, cast their ballots the other way. Z

would happen; either McAdoo would be

DARK HORSE CHANCES
ARE REGARDED SLIM.
The chances of a dark horse, winning
were regarded here today as exceedingly
slim.

reported today to be flirting with New

plain that in their opinion he viii never

Today the scene seemed set for STAN
