POSSESSIONS Of
WINE MERCHANT
ARE BEING SOLO

IBY MORNING. JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WiRRl
Paris, July 4.-Paris is witness
ing the passing of one of the last
reminders in France of the famous
German champagne king, Baron
Walter de Mumm. The handsome
furniture of the wealthy wine
merchant, which was sequestrated
early in the war in his apartment
on the Avenue du Bots Boulogne,
Is being sold for the benefit of
the state.
The contents Of the beautiful
apartment included some fine
tapestries and several specimens
Of eighteenth century cabinet
makers work. The sale brought
more than 100000 francs. One
piece of tapestry, valued by the
government officers at fifty francs
brought 5000 francs. The sale
attracted large gathering of
prominent Parisians because Herr
Mumm's apartment was known
as one of the most lavishly fur
nished in the fashionable quarter
of Paris.
An American girl, Mary de
Mumm, now living with her
grandfather, c. C. X. Scoville, d
banker of Seneca, Kansas, Is a
daughter of Baron Walter de
Mumm, who married Mr.. Scoville's
daughter. The de Mumm estate
in France, estimated in some re-
ports to amount to $20.00O,0OO
was sequestrated by the French
in the war as the
baron is a German subject al
though he had spent most of his
life in France. The baron went to
Germany when the war began
and the baroness remained in
France serving as a nurse.
In an effort to safeguard her

San Francisco, Calf, July A.
The day of rest brought to the
democratic national convention nC
release from its twenty-five ba'lo
deadlock and no promise of relic
tomorrow.
Fruitless search for darl
horse who could win, left the tired
muddled and even exasperateG
forces with nothing more than the
likelihood of straight out fight
between Cox and McAdoo 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 with
out the word of Wilson.
There was spirited guessing. de-
duction and attempted conclusion
at what President Wilson might
wish, hope or aequiesce in, but
apparently nothing more.
Wilson Holds AIoof.
Senator Glass confirmed reports
that President Wilson was not taxi
ing any hand in the situation.
"The president has not com
municated with me regarding can
6at Mr
port that. in recent conversations,
he had indicated men whom he
opposed Is not true. AS the situa-
tion looks to me tonight each
crowd thinks their candidate can
win and until someone is convinced
otherwise, the deadlock will con-
tinue."
The Cox people outwardly expect
to win tomorrow. The McAdoo
people having checked their down
ward slide, girded up for a new
drive to break the Cox column to-
morrow, The Palmer people, de-
ciaring that neither Cox nor Nc
Adoo can have their votes, ex-
pressed hope for themselves. but
only indifferent "
Each of the three appears to
have a strangle hold on the other
two. McAdoo forces in the late
Saturday night balloting recovered
the one-third veto power they had
lost. Cox forces retained theirs
steadily from the time they ae-
zquired it in the fifth ballot al
though their margin fluctuated.
Palmer forces possessed it in
fact through state delegations, |
which, although held in a block
for McAdoo or Cox by the unit
rule, contained discordant ele-
ments, which when released would |
become effective in adding to the
deadlock.
Delegates Impatient.
The growing impatiences of the
delegates who repeatedly cast solid
blocks for candidates who showed
no promise of becoming success
ful dark horses, is expected to
show itself tomorrw. Late Satur-
day night there were increasing
evidences Of temper against the
adamant attitude of those who
would not release their votes. The
politics of the apparent stub
borness was that they lost con-
troll by abandoning the unit rule.
Their position was greeted Satur-
day night with shouts of come
