Wilson's Silence Adds to
Confusion of Situation

Auditorium, San Francisco, July
4.-The Cox, McAdoo and Palmer
forces and those hoping to develop a
dark horse spent the hours between
recess and reassembling at s p. NJ.
tonight in hurried conferences and
desperate efforts to line up a COM
promise ticket. Word from Wash
ington that President Wilson was
pursuing 'hands Off policy added
to the confusion of the situation.
10 every argument advanced for
some dark horse, objections were
heard in opposition. Those opposed
to Cox argued the Ohio governor
had reached the maximum of his
strength and lost his opportunity
when the suspension of the balloting
was permitted for the recess. Nc
Adoo and Palmer forces were i'm
portuned by each other to find way
to stop him.
Despite the statements of some
administration leaders that 1T can
not go to Cox the Cox forces
pointed out that the dark horse
movement had found no rallying
point and that Cox still remained a
potential force which from a small
number at/the start had taken the
lead in the balloting and nosed Nc
Adoo out of first place.
White House Statement.
The statement as issued at the
White House said:

San Francisco, July 4.-Favor-

cratic vice presidential nomination
here continue to have hard time
getting delegates to give them a

this message back:

OF all the candidates mentioned
for the vice presidency, the man

he might consider second place if
he is not nominated for president

removed and system of orderly ex-

"The convention resolution also
permits the holding Of national con-
vention when the auxiliary is estab-
lished in 10 states. The proposed
national convention was authorized
to change the name Of the auxiliary
and to broaden its eligibility clause,
and the Legion agreed to amend its
to that effect. believe
that the women's auxiliary Is one Of
the greatest potential forces for good
in this country and I shall see that
the Legion backs It to the limit"
The women's auxiliary, which in
