San Francisco, July 4-The day of rest brought to the democratic national convention no release from it's twenty TWO ballot deadlock and no promise of relief tomorrow.
 Fruitless search for dark horse who could win. lest the tired, muddled and even exasperated forces with nothing more tangible than Likelihood of a straight-out fight between Cox and Me Adoo and growing hopes that Moses would spring up from somewhere to lead them out of their wilderness.
 All ears were cooked toward the White House for the magic word For the first time in twenty-four years a democratic convention was working without the guiding hand of Bryan and for seven years without the word ot Wilson.
 There was spirited guessing, deduction and attempted conclusion at what Pres ident Wilson might wish, hope, or ac- ouiesce in, but apparently nothing more
 Senator GIass confirmed reports that President Wilson was not taking any hand in the situation.
 The president has not communicated with me regarding candidates said Mir. Glass A report that, in recent conversations he had indicated whom he opposed is not true. As the situation looks to me tonight each crowd thinks It's candidate can win and until some one is convinced otherwise, the deadlock will continue"
 The Cox people outwardly expect to wi ntomorrow. The McAdoo people, having checked their downward slide, girded up for a new drive to break the Cox column tomrrow- The Palmer peo- -,ls declaring that neither Cox nor Me Adoo can have their votes. expressed hone for themselves but only indiffer- eaily.
 Each of the three appears to have a etrangle hold on the other two. McAdoo forces in the late Saturday night bal loting recovered the one-third veto power they had lost. Cox forces retain cd theirs steadily from the time they ac- quired it in the fifth ballot, although their margin fiuctuated- Palmer forces possessed it in fact, through state dele Eations. which although held in a block for McAdoo or Cox by the unit rule. con- tained discordant elements, which when released would become effective in add ing 10 the deadlock.
 The growing impatience of the dele Eates with repeated casting of solid blocks for candidates who showed no promise of becoming successful dark horses is expected to show itself to- morrow.
 Late Saturday night there was in rreasing evidence of temper against the edamant attitude of those who would not release their votes. The politics of their apparent stubbornness was that they lost control by abandoning the unit rule Their position was greeted Sat urday night with shouts of Come out of it. and Hire a hall' and the like.
 McAdoo forces tonight were banking on the proposition that the Cox forces, If they hope to win, must trot out every reserve rote they possess when the baIioting is resumed tomorrow morning at 1J o'clock if they hoped for slide their way. The Cox people, confident that they have McAdoo stopped, despite his last ballot rally Saturday night planned to continue their campaign to wear him out. The McAdoo people, de- claring that the whole weeks effort had been to wear out, argued that it had been a failure
 Scattered seventeen ways from three leaders 10 Champ Clark and Woodrow Wilson, there was no doubt whatever that the votes of the convention were one of those lucky tricks of convention legerdemain which pull 9 presidential nomination out of hat.
 With the three leaders knocking their heads together friends of the candi- dates of lesser strength showed renewed determination to keep their fayorites in the running.
 The attitude of the dark horse back CTS. who on the last ballot of Saturday night held a combined voting strength of one-tenth of the convention, helped to lock the . Iation tighter. For the present the ask of putting over any one of the big three without breaking that block of votes seemed to be a re- mote one.
 The list of dark horses for whom movements seemed to be on foot still included John ". Davis of West Vir- Einia. Senator Glass of Virginia, Sena- tor Owen of Oklahoma, Homer S. Cum mings of Connecticut and Bainbridge Colby. Champ Clark was talked of by some and so was Vice President Mar shaM There was an indication that Indiana, which supported him solidly at the outset, might soon return to him if the deadlock continues.
