23rd poll, first of the 90 more the
convention was TO go through, during
the day and night to follow, showed
their forces relatively as strongly
entrenched as ever.
Time and again the rival forces
launched their noisy demonstrations
in an effort TO force the issue. The
roll calls went through swiftly except
for those interruptions. Chairman
Robinson and his aides on the plat.
form kept up constant pressure for
speed.
No noon recess was taken. The
convention drove ahead through two
new surges, one toward Palmer, and
the other toward McAdoo, neither Of
which produced any decided results.
All three of the leaders yere going
strongly when a dinner recess gave
opportunity for the final setting Of
lines on which the battle would be
carried to a finish.
Delegates High-Keyed
Galleries again were jammed and
delegates were keyed up to a point
where shouts and cheers greeted
changes of a single vote. A slight
continued gain for McAdoo on the
first night ballot sent his partisans
off into a roaring, gesticulating par
ade about the hall in which western
or southern state standards were
prominent, but which no amount of
shouting could induce New York or
Pennsylvania to join. New York
reached a division Of 20 for McAdoo
and 70 for Cox, on which it stuck
throughout while Pennsylvania as
steadily had voted''73 of its rs dele
gates for Palmer.
Palmer Begins to Slip
With the 37th ballot, however, Pal
mer strength took another drop.
Amidst wild jubilation by the McAdoo
supporters, Chairman Robinson fought
for order and led former Representa-
tive Carlin Of Virginia, Palmer's man.

crowd hushed.

and break up in the long deadlock
Men halted where they stood in tho
aisles to listen. Corridors poured back
hundreds of loungers to the floor TO
pack the doorways and jam even the
entrances to the galleries, An cleo
tric feeling of expectancy, was in the
air.
Carlin briefly stated that Attorney
General Palmer was not willing long
er to delay nomination and author.

Futile Efforts to Check

The McAdoo managers made a des-
perate fight to stop it in time. Their
candidate twice had held the leaG
and lost it, however, and many dele
gates supporting him had given up
hope that he ever could be nominated.
On the last four ballots, McAdoo lost
steadily, several solid state delegations
deserting his banner for that of the
leader.
Besides, the scattering Palmer dele
cations who at first had swung to Nc
Adoo, drifted over to the Cox camp
in increasing numbers and he began
to take a commanding place in the
balloting.
When Victory Was Sure
Once he had more than q majority,
the fight was easy. At the end or
another furious struggle the conven,
ton stampeded to Cox, flung aside
its rules and made his nomination
unanimous with q roaring shout.
A terrific uproar followed. The
whole mass of delegates threw them
selves into a wild demonstration.
greater than any of the orgies of noise
that had proceeded.
Won Without Deals
In the midst of the din, Chairman
Robinson succeeded in restoring a
semblance of order to get the adjourn
ment until noon, so that Governor
Coxs wishes as to his team-mate
could be learned. r. Fl. Moore or
youngstown, Ohio, national committee
man from the state and leader of the
tireless and uphill fight that won the
nomination for the Ohio governor, said
it had been made without promises.
Second Only to Baltimore
The struggle was exceeded in voting
duration In democratic annals only by
the fight at Baltimore in 1912, which
gave President Wilson his first NOM
ination on the 46th ballot.
On the seth ballot. Fresh from
an over-Sunday study of the %
ballots taken last week the conven-
tion went to work Monday seemingly
hopelessly tied up in a triangular
deadlock between Cox, McAdoo and
Palmer. Leaders had no predictions
to make, although they then thought
that Cox with lead Of some 60 votes
over McAdoo and more than 200 over
Palmer on the 22nd roll call, which
events proved to be just the half way
point, had n decided advantage.
Undaunted. They Fought On
