REED CLAIMS FOR CONVENTION SEAT
 WILL BE REVIEWED
IRepubllcan A. p. Leased wIrel

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2s-The creden tials committee of the Demo- cratic national convention tonight de- cided to hear and review the claim of Senator Reed of Missouri to a seat as a delegate.
 Reeds opponents contended the com mittee had no jurisdiction but their claims finally were dismissed and the case was set down for hearing in its turn, one hour being allotted to each side
 The credentials committee elected W. T. Asher, Iowa, chairman. and pro- ceeded to hear the argument in the Georgia case in which the national committee already has seated Palmer delegates and ratified the selection of Clark Howell as national committee man over the contest of the smith Watson faction.
 Oregon was expected to present a contest when its name was reached on the roll call
 Closing argument before the com mittee in the Georgia contest tonight was marked by heated discussion and at times half q score of men were on their feet demanding recognition. The contesting delegation, occupying seats in the audience, frequently broke into the debate and demanded justice and fair play" Former Senator T. w. Hardwic1, who closed the case for the contestants. declared "an adverse de- cision would drive scores of Democrats out Of the party in Georgia, not saying that I will do that. nor making any threates."
 He asserted that a minority vote had selected the delegation and that the state convention had disposed of the case "to the satisfaction of a great majority of the citizens of the state
 Opening arguments for Senator Reed, F. NJ. Wilson, United States district attorney at Kansas City, told the com mittee he had no interest in the case except that he felt there would be "a damnable injustice done to Missouri democracy should the senator be de nied a place. He declared it was i'm periative" th8t the action of the Fifth Missouri district convention be re- spected for without the vote which this districtdelivers to the party Missouri, and perhaps the nation, cannot be cata- logued Democratic.'
 "If.I thought for one moment" he continued, If a shadow of belief ex- isted that this delegate would go on the floor of the convention and de- nounce the national administration or bolt the convention, l would not be here"
 Statements of similar nature were made by F. P. Rosenberger, a Ninth Missouri district delegate, who added that he never had supported Reed in the primaries and never had been on "his side of the fence" but he believed it unfair in the interest of harmony to brand a man as an unclean Demo crat."
 He asserted that Reed never had been a candidate and was not now asking the place. but the Fifth district was seek ing a seat for him and should not be discnfranchiSed

Republican A. p. Leased wirel


 BUFFALO, N. Y.. June 2s.-Whether the Northern Baptist convention will frown upon the marriage of divorced persons by refusing to elect the Rev. J. w. Brougher of Los Angeles as a member of the executive committee will not be known until tomorrow.
 Mir. Brougher performed the mar riage ceremony for Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. The names of the moving picture stars were not men toned on the convention floor when the nominating committees ticket was submitted. but it was contended that the opposition that developed to the election of Dr. Brougher was due to his attitude on the divorce question. The chair ruled the names might be written by delegates opposed to the nominat- ing committees slate.
 The other candidates named on the ticket headed by Ernest L. Tustin of Philadelphia, for president, were un- opposed and their election is assured. The tellers had not finished counting ballots when the convention adjourned until tomorrow.
 Affiliated societies also held their elections today. Mrs. Helen B. Montgomery of Rochester was elected president of the Woman's American Baptist foreign missionary society; Mrs. John Nuveen of Illinois, presi- dent of the woman's home missionary society; Governor c. G MilIiken of Maine. president of the American Baptist foreign missionary society. Charles R. Brock of Colorado. presi- dent of the American Baptist home missionary society, and Frank H. Rob inson of Pennsylvania. president of the American Baptist publication society.
 The convention adonted a resolution declaring for the strict enforcement of the prohibition act and declared Baptists would not support any polit1- cal party that sought modification of existing dry laws.

DEMOCRATS ALSO HAVE B|G THREE FOR PRESIDENCY
McAdoo Talk Strong but Little Change Among the Three Leaders Apparent;
 Cox and Palmer Fight Hard to Make Impressive Showing on First Ballot
IRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wire1

l.
 SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-There is more McAdoo talk in the air tonight but there is apparently no change in the real situation among the various candidates.
 Tonight shows the first signs of a movement among the leaders and man agers to round up sentiment among the uninstructed delegates and compute the possibilities of nominating some body
 Principally. the night is given over to meetings ot the four big committees in the great building which also houses the convention auditorium. The lead CTS and candidate managers are all under one roof. and although they are principally engaged in committee busi- ness, they are not losing the oppor tunity to confer and possibly get to- gether on the mal1ings of a slate of their own or possibly decide to accept one which the drift among the delega- tions may be forcing on them.
 Predict From to 5 Ballots
 McAdoo boomers hoped all day that their candidate would make some statement simplifying the declaration of National Committeeman Love or Texas that the nomination would not be rejected. Some were disappointed and others thought MT. McAdoo, in view of repeated previous declarations of declination, was pursuing a wrse course in remaining silent.
 Palmer people continued their efforts to make a strong showing on the open ing ballots and the Cox people are do- ing the same. About the only point the three forces would agree upon was that there would be no nomination on the first ballot and most of them seemed to agree that there would be no nomination in less than to g.
 The McAdoo people today agreed on Sam Amidon of Wichita. Kansas as their floor leader and at the same time began picking out a representative on each Of the state delegations. His selection was made at a conference or McAdoo supporters who described themselves as bitter enders."
 Cone Johnson of Texas. former solicitor of the state department; Rep resentative Whaley of South Carolina were among the assistants selected for Amidon.
 Big Three Appear Deadloeked
 Most of the McAdoo boomers are saving they do not expect any support from the Tammy delegation of New York unless it becomes apparent that the former secretary will be nominated. Talk of Secretary Meredith for second place as MT McAdoo's running mate continued to be heard in the convention gossip.
 The talk of candidates on the whole tonight is almost where 1t was last week, without any appearances or strength enough for a nomination ar any corner of the triangle. Mir. Bryan and some others still feel that the question of candidates can not become a thoroughly active one until the plat form issues have been disposed Of. Ao- ministration supporters said tonight they were confident that the platform would be written in thorough going terms of support for President Wilson and his administration and many Of them predicted that it would contain neither a wet nor dry plank.
