FAIL TO BREAK
WILLOF FIELD
Court Sustains Testament
Left by Millionaire
Merchant.

Chicago, June IL. - Marshall
Fields will was upheld in a decision
handed down by Judge Charles NJ.
Foell of the Superior Court today.
Henry Anthony Marsh. illegitimate
son, of Henry Field, loses many
millions of dollars. and Marshall
Field Sd gains the fortune, but he
must wait until he is so years old
before he esn possess it.
Under the decision Mrs. Nancy
Perkins Field Tree. widow of Henry
Field, comes into possession of her
dover rights in his estate. The de-
cision is fatal to the plans of the
Chicago heirs of the late merchant
prince to undo the famous twentieth
clause of the will and thus bring
about an immediate partition of the
vast estate. The unexpected feature
of the decision was the award of
dover rights to Mrs. Nancy Perkins
Field Tree, who has married again.

Convention Hall. Chicago, June
IA story classic in newspaper
circles tells of the rebuke admin
istered to a verbose reporter by a
cynical city editor. The whole
story of the creation of the world
was told in less than 500 words -
said the advocate of brevity.
But that succinct narrative of a
great event was not told until the
deed had been accomplished. Here
toward twilight of a stifiingly hot
day 1 begin the story OF a conven-
tion whose elimination has not
yet been reached. OF the rise
and fall of public enthusiasm
in that convention; of the or
atorical cadences in which the
merits of the various candidates
were extolled, shall leave my
colleague, Mr.. Axelson, to- tell.
Real Work Done I'm Conferences.
For in the stages preliminary to
the selection of a nominee the in
teresting work, the work that tells
both upon the judgment of the
convention and upon that of the
people four months later. is ac-
complished not by platform ora
tory or organized demonstration in
the gallery. In the tortuous pas
sages beneath the convention floor,
in the spacious lobby under the
platform, the work of conference
and of trading, of adjustment ana
concession proceeds in whispered
colloquy between men whose names
are known wherever politics is
whispered.
Out of the buzzing gossip of that
lobby today gathered several facts
significant of the political senti-
ment controlling the convention.
and as an observer have been i'm
pressed by the seeming indifference
of the delegates to the probable
strength of the respective candi-
dates on election day. With one
accord the leaders decry the theory
so current q few months ago that

Coughlin, mother of kidnapped
Blakeley Coughlin, said today in
the first interview she has granted
since the 13-months-old boy was
abducted from his home on Curran
Terrace in the early morning of
June 2. She showed little evidence
of the worry she is undergoing.
No one would harm my baby" she
added. He would win the hardest
heart with his sweet little smile.
My husband fears that because
the kidnappers have not complied
with our request for picture or
film Of Blakeley that he is dead.
If there is a woman working with
the kidnappers she must know that
we would never take any action
that might prevent the return of

sun was taking on a greater slant
some were just beginning to warm
up to the task in hand. Up to tha,
time, however, the greatest among

balmed, as the case might be.
Before weary delegates and con-
gested galleries were paraded the

were named in order. In between
Coolidge and Butler, the name of

sary.
Allen Presents Woods Name.
With the yielding of Arizona to

Gov. Henry ]. Allen to place Gen.
Leonard Woods name before the
convention. Much had been expect

and well he acquitted himself.
When he closed the delegates
and spectators went on a cheering
spree for thirty -eight minutes. 1t
seemed necessary to do much sec

this gave an opportunity for dele

Woodites Expect Victory.

Woodites Expect Victory.
At the Wood headquarters the su-
>erhcial attitude was one of satisfac-
ion with the status of affairs and
confidence in their power to nominate
heir man tomorrow. The closing
ballot showed Wood with a substan-
tial lead over his rival. But it has
always been the admission of the
Wood forces that the third ballot
would show their positive working
strength. Accepting this as the fact
they are shown to be short one hun
dred and ninety votes of enough to
nominate.
1t is difficult to discover whence
these votes may come. The normal
Wood territory seems pretty well
exhausted. While the Penrose pur-
pose is still undisclosed and the
Penrose strength is sufficient to
put either candidate well on the
way to victory, the Wood people
dare not claim accessions from that
source tomorrow.
Easy For Dark Horse.
The interesting feature Of the
situation is that either of the Lead
ers is probably strong enough to
defeat the other il he should throw
his entire vote to some dark horse,
untainted with the Doodle scandal
and free from the antagonisms that
have been bred of the preconven-
tion fight. But it is not probable
that action of this sort will be
taken until after at least one or
two more ballots.
Hotel talk has it that if the Low
den nomination should go through
Coolidge will be selected as his run
ming mate. There is certain
plausibility in this. Coolidge as a
secondary candidate has not mani
Tested the strength that gives
promise of success. But he could
undoubtedly bring TO Lowden a
very considerable block of votes IL
his place on the ticket were as
sured. He is perhaps the only
Eastern man whose record fits him
peculiarly to campaign with the
Illinois governor.
But it may be asserted that
while the outlook tonight is favor
able to the Illinoisan it is exactly
the situation which the friends of
dark horses have always insisted
would result in the nomination OF
a man of that type.
