should be voted as representing vote
equal to the states electoral vote.
Relations were becoming strained
between the Labor party leaders and
the representatives of the Committee
OF Forty-elght.
During the long wait, an agreement
was reached among the Forty-eighters
10 hold a separate meeting in their
former convention hall at o'clock
tonight.
They will decide then whether or
not the fusion convention action has
been satisfactory to their followers
Have Reached Impasse.
The impasse was reached in an all
night meeting of leaders of the La
borites and Forty Fighters, which
broke up at a. m. AS a result, the
following moves were in prospect
when the joint Labor eight con-
vention reconvened today:
AS a last resort, a tentative effort
may be made by the leaders of the
Committee of Forty-eight to with
draw their delegates from the conven-
ton and form their own third
party"
Success of the latter obviously
would be remote, as a majority of the
original Forty-eight convention went
on record as fayOring surrender to the
laborities IN every detail rather than
ALLEVIATE the potentially strong labor
was expected for the same reason.
|, The turn of affairs has eliminated
several presidential candidate posi-
bilities, in addition to LaFollette and
Henry Ford, whose candidates. were
withdrawn by friends last night.
Amos Pinchot, New York, and George
Record, New Jersey, regarded as sec
ond choice to LaFollette for the NOM
ination, were the principal hackers
of the defeated Committee of Forty
eight program.
The liberal organizations which
have definitely cast their lot with the
laborites include the Nonpartisan
League, World War Veterans, Rank
and File Veterans association, Amer
lean Constitutional party and Ameri-
can party of Texas.
The Single Tax party voted last
might to conduct its own campaign
without ''entangling alliances"
Phone to LaFoIlettc.
The laborites suggested the addi-
tional planks be submitted to LaFol-
let's for approval, a special commit
tee being sent to Madison for that
was unnecessary, as the senator re-
garded the original labor platform as
too radical. To satisfy the laborites
he got LaFollette by telephone. The
| latter told Roe it was too late to see
a committee, with the final session OF
the convention but a few hours off
and authorized Roe to act for him
Roe then assured the conferees' they
could regard LaFollette as definitely
eliminated from consideration as the
third party nominee.

tinued to battle for their program. Il

COX Their FRIEND
Democrats Make Strong Bid for
Labor Votes.
Backers Insist Ohio Governor

BY HERBERT ". WALKER.

Columbus, o., July 14.-Labor in
general classifies James NJ. Cox,
Democratic nominee, "a real friend"
William Green, secretary-treasurer of
the United Mine Workers. declared
here today after a conference with
the Ohio governor.
The working man never forgets a
real friend and my opinion is that the
majority of labor believe Cox comes
within that classification" Green said,
answering d question as to labor's
opinion of Cox.
ION his labor record as governor at
least two big accomplishments stand
out" Green continued. lone is the
Ohio workmens compensation law
which was a big step forward, and the
other is the mine run act which COM
peIs mines in computing miners
wages. to weigh coal before it is
screened"
Green said that he did not call on
the nominee to obtain his labor views
but TO congratulate him on his nomi-
nation. With Green was Matthew
Wolf. vice president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
The miners official declared unless
the preferential car order of the inter
state commerce commission is altered,
a coal shortage will exist next winter.
Cox expects to devote most of to-
day to work on the governors office.

her PAINT DIRTY.
Shamrock " Back Into Dry
Dock To Be Washed.
No Trial Spin for Challenger on
Eve of Race.

New York, July 14.-Her trim
green sides muddy with the dirt and
slime picked up in the oily waters of
Sandy Hook, the Shamrock W." Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenger for Amer
ica's cup, went back into dry dock to-
day to be cleaned instead of trying her
new sails in a final trial spin before
the first race tomorrow.
''Resolute,'' the defender, after re-
ceiving a four hour bath yesterday
from a squad of scrapers in dry dock,
was mOored near the course ready to
give her new suit of sails a stretch if
the weather permitted.
On account of the unfavorable
weather encountered and the last min
ute trouble experienced with the oily
waters of, the bay, the two sloops will
go into the first race with less prepa-
ration than any that have sailed for
the coveted trophy since 1851 when
America became the queen of the seas.
The schedule for the first race tomor-
row is completed.
The first race will be started at II
o'clock eastern standard time wealth
er conditions permitting.
The second race is scheduled for
Saturday, the third for Tuesday and
then on alternate days until one of
the sloops has won three races.
The measurements of the two yachts
and the time handicap which Sham
rock ~ must allow Resolute probably
will not be- made known until tomor-
row

VANDALS
Telephone Used to Stop Name
Writing by Tourists.
Before They Leave National
Parks Must Erase Names.

Yellowstone Park, Wyo.. July H.
Unthinking tourists who deface the
beautiful natural formations of yell
lowstone National Park by writing
their names and crude sentiments in
geyser bowls and on hot springs ter
races are meeting with quick discipline
this year.
Under an effective system of regis
tration, every tourist entering the park
now is being checked in on arrival and
checked out on departure and his
method of travel noted. If in his own
automobile, the state number of the
machine is recorded. With such in
formation available, conversations like
over the park telephone system:
Hello, hello. Is this the north en-
trance? All right, Chief Rangers Of
flee speaking. John Q. Blank, travel
ing in automobile with - state Ii
cence No. 12345, wrote his name yes
terday in Old Faithful fbasin. Hold
him when the car checks out"
And when the automobile arrives at
the north gate, or any other of the
parks four entrances, Mr.. Blank-or
Mrs. Blank or Miss Blank if they
should offend, for women are not ex-
empt-is fetched back to headquarters
and told politely but firmly that such
vandalism will not be tolerated. If he
or she-is willing to remedy the
damage by effacing the writing, the
incident may be allowed to end there.
Otherwise, the law takes its course be-
fore United States commissioner res
ident in the park. Heavy penalties are
provided by statute for injuring the
formations in any way.
In all justice to American tourists,
however, Yellowstone officials say
they have a minimum of difficulty in
enforcing the regulations.

PUTS FIRE UNDER WHITE HOUSE
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER.

Marion, Ohio, July 14.-Warren C.
Harding has opened his defensive and
eagerly accepted the Democratic chat
lenge to a finish fight over the league
of nations.
His statements welcoming a ma
tional referendum on the league issue
was viewed as his most emphatic ut
terance thus far and also as a skillfu1
attempt to split. the Democratic party
on this question. His purpose, it was
believed here, was t. smoke out
Governor Cox on the league issue and
force the Democratic standard bearer
either to line up solidly with President
Wilson on the league question or come
out for strong reservations and break
with the White House on the leading
issue of the campaign.
Either course, it was believed in the
Harding camp, will drive a wedge be-
tween the administration forces and
President Wilson's course in the treaty
fight.
Promptly Accepts Challenge.
When word reached the Republican
nominee that Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Democratic vice presidential candi-
date, had declared the league of ma
lions should be the leading issue, he
suspended work on his acceptance
speech and issued a prompt acceptance
of the challenge.
Harding's statement showed fight
ing spirit which put enthusiasm into
his advisers here.
His scathing references to the en-
tanglements which he believes would
result from Americas participation
in the league are expected to draw the
fire of administration supporters and
indications are for a hot pitched bat
tie before the campaign has gone far.
His statement today was taken by
some to foreshadow firm anti-league
stand by Harding in his speech of &C
ceptance. He frankly declared that
America would be involved in the
score or more wars now raging in Eu-
rope should we join the league, and
he drew the inference that America
would be called on to supply its army
and navy to help settle them
