SAN FRANCISCO. June 23.-Fear-

Administration fayorite can get the
necessary two-thirds vote. White
House bosses are engineering a plan
TO abrogate II in this convention.
They also contemplate abolishing
the unit rule
Such was the announcement OF
Chairman Homer S. Cummings, OF the
Democratic National Committee, last
night Chairman Cummings said:
THE two-thirds majority rule is an
ancient party custom. 1t could be
overturned by a special affirmative

When Clark for several ballots had

NEW WORKERS INTERESTED.
Abolition of the unit rule would
leave the New York delegates free to
support whom they choose for the
Presidential nomination.
Charles F. Murphy anu Gov. Alfred

unit rule at the Albany conference
despite protests from George r. Lunn,
Samuel Seabury and other support

Lunn and Seabury are in San Fran

Should they win, ten or more New

vote for McAdoo or Wilson or any
other administration favorite.
Maybe Murphy and Smith under
such circumstances will be unable to
hold more than a bare majority of

Mr.. Won schlegell said yesterday at

II have determined TO answer no
more questiops. make no more state
ments, give no more interviews. This
thing is going too far. and the drag
gipg OF the names of innocent people
into this scandal Is not right"
The growing conviction in the
minds OF the authorities that Elwell
was killed by some one who had ac-
cess to the West SEVENTEEN street
house OF mystery" was crystallized
at a conference OF Judge Swami and
his assistants and officials OF the po-
lice department yesterday afternoon.
Capt. Arthur Carey, head OF the
homicide squad. told Judge Swami HIS

that Elwell or some one in the Elwel

June II. Alleged authority for this

Miss Weishofr said she was not sure
whether the two telephone calls in
question had been received by her
from the Elwell house (96S9 Colum-

Mr.. Swami said last night:
"The Columbus central office re-
ports the recollection of the operator
that the call came in between 1880
and o'clock in the morning. The
ticket in possession OF the telephone
company is dated June II, 1920. II
