The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-07-04

Repeated attempts to adjourn were defeated throughout the early part of the night, but as midnight approached and it was about to become Sunday, the tradition that democratic national convention never works on Sunday, coupled with the fact that the conven- ton was tired, worn and frnzzied, hau its effect and the final motion to ad- jOurn was unopposed.
 When the convention stopped, Cox was leading with 430. McAdoo came next with 372h.
 Palmer was down to 166k.
 The final ballot of tn enight was full of McAdoo movement, but 1t failed to make much headway. Georgia, his home state pledged to Palmer, swung over with her twenty eight votes in block for one ballot to see if it would start her native son toward victory. but !. failed to do so, and she swung back to the Attorney General.
 NO DARK HORSE No dark horse appeared during the nights balloting to carry off the hon. ors, and the convention adjourned just | as much in need of somebody to rally about as it was when it began the bal loting.
 | It was in a deadlock with nobody in | sight to break it. Sunday will be de- voted to efforts to finding somebody to whom the convention can swing,
 When it was II o'clock in San Fran cisco and long after midnight in the east. a motion was made to adjourn until Monday morning al 10 o'clock The Cox people resisted the attempt ant forced roll call. By a vote of 63S t' 447 the convention refused to adjourn and the Cox people won that much of ; victory.
 Although tired and worn and in man. respects frazzled by it's week of plat form fight and then finally continu ous and indecisive balloting, the con vention wanted to get through
 It's work during the day and nigh was interrupted repeatedly by organ ized demonstrations in the galleries am on the floor, which simply choked of business for half hour stretches at time and forced the wait.
 Then after the adjournment resolu ton had been beaten once by the CT forts of the Cox people, Senator liar rison made new motion that the con vention recess until Monday morning at 10 o'clock It was said that Geor gia was about to give some of he twenty eight Palmer votes to McAdo as complimentary vote and that tn Cox people wanted to avoid it. l AOLL NIfALL DGr4.1bANDliD A roll call on Harrison's notice wa demanded and Harrison with drew hi motion the convention went back to tn roll call of states for nominees.
