CROWDS THRoNG HALL FOR
 EXPECTED PROHIBITION FIGHT

Auditorium, San Francisco, July l. At eight o'clock the hour set for the re- assembling of the democratic national convention the platform committee was not ready to report and the prospects were that the convention would not get under way for some time.
 In anticipation of the prohibition fight the convention hall was packed at the appointed hour. The delegates were ready and the last tiers of the galleries up un- der the edges of the roof were as full as they could be. The band, the organ and the singers entertained the crowd.
 Friends of William Jennings Bryan, recalling threats of bodily harm made upon him at Baltimore in 1912, had ar ranged to be prepared to defend him.
 At $40 the chairman finally got under way and directed that the aisles be clear ed.
 While the convention was waiting for the report of the committee on platform, Chairman Glass told inquirers there was "a possibility that the report might go over until tomorrow morning." At that time the committee was giving William Jennings Bryan another opportunity to present prohibition plank.
 As usual the proceedings started with prayer and the singing of The Star Span gled Banner.
  ed it was still not ready.
 On motion of Delegate Linebaugh the convention went into a temporary recess while the state delegations caucused to name their national committeeman and national committee women.
 The word came down from the plat form committee meanwhile that if good fortune prevailed there might be re- port about 1030 o'clock and that on the
 
 have only two speakers-Mr. Bryan on the one side and Bainbridge Colby on the other.
 The meaning of this. was that the platform committee could not decide the prohibition issue and was going to let it come to the floor.
 The nose count made by the conven- ton managers to determine whether the two-thirds vote could be obtained to sus- pend the rules and go ahead with ballot ing, developed that all of the candidate managers were opposed to it because they felt it would get them out of posi- tion"
 At 9.S0 o'clock. San Francisco time the word came doown firm the platform committee that it would be ready in an hour. This agreed with the previous word that they hoped to be ready by ten thirty. The task of the convention man. dgerS was 10 Keep the convention amused.
 Chairman Robinson. fresh from a con ference with Chairman Glass and expect ing to make a report on the progress of the platform committee stepped to the speakers runway, but the Illinois dele gation loudly demanded a speech from James Hamilton Lewis. MT. Lewis, however, did not speak and Senator Robinson went on to announce that the national committee selections would be announced and that i1nme- diately afterward he would make an an nouncement regarding the progress of the resolutions committee. Senator Robinson then told the con vention that after conferring with the platform committee he had found them still in session with prospects of con- tinuing for considerable time. He said the chair was assured the committee would be ready to report earl yin the morning.

MOVEMENT AGAINST NADoO
 NOT GAINING IIEADwAY

San Francisco. Calif., July 1.--The at- tempt It combination against the nom ination of William G. McAdoo was still being carried on when the convention went into it's night session but it still was without any definite results.
 Lack of headway was ascribed to the absence of central control and to the feeling among many of those importuned to join that it was really directed against President Wilson rather than wholly movement against Mir. McAdoo That feeling, its managers agreed, was it's weakness.
 Another real difficulty was that many of the supporters of candidates having enthusiastic followings. chiefly Palmer and Cox, argued that they should not be asked to desert their candidates until 1t had been developed whether they can gain strength. In these camps were scat tering delegates who preferred McAdoo to any dark horsee The promoters of the attempted combination against McAdoo were proceeding desultorily and one aft CT another they continued to bring for. ward such names as former Speaker Clark, Vice President Marshall, Homer $. Cummings, Brainbridge Colby, and even William Jennings Bryan.
 Clearly and admittedly there was no name about which they could rally. The Cox and Palmer leaders laughed at the idea of swapping off at so early a stage and asserted 1t had not been dem onstrated that Mfr. McAdoo commanded place in the running to cause them 10 fear hint was with them plainly a case of waiting to be shown.
 While the real leaders were dealing with the platform question those who for one reason or another oppose Mir, "a informal conferences

UNIQUE TITLES FOR OLD
 TIME WHEAT FARMERS

Topeka, July 1.-The title of "profes- sor of stocking" has been conferred on old time farmers who have mastered the art of stacking wheat so that it will withstand the effects of wind and rain. Secretary J. C. Mohler. of the state board of agriculture, who confers this degree at the same time urges that these veteran farmers be pressed into service to teach the younger generations the eo- called Host are" of sticking grain.
 Pointing out the need of finished stock CTS because much of the wheat crop must be held, either in granaries or stocks of the farm, Mir Mohler said:
 "The older generation numbered many men who could build stocks that would stand against the wind and thoroughly protect the grain against the rain and such stacks had the big advantage of sweating" the wheat and giving 1t bet ter color and quality"
