Meantime Harding pushed his total
to 1913, individual delegates from
many states swinging to him from
the columns Of the leaders and Of va
rious favorite sons. The Johnson
managers, fearing landslide was I'M
pending. then made last play TO
save the fortunes of their candidate.
They moved to recess for couple OF
hours in order to take an inventory
and seek a new combination.
The Wood and Lowden forces. both
virtually at the peak Of their strength
but both disheartened at the long
string of ballots without material
gains, fell in with the recess plan ana
tho convention adopted 1t.
In the dramatic succession OF con-
ferences that followed the fate OF the
candidates virtually was sealed. Some OF
the Wood and Lowden managers tried
Intellectually for an agreement which
would hold their delegates In line and
kill Oft the Harding boom. Some tried
IN get a wood-Lowden-John agree
ment to adjourn until Monday with
out making a nomination. There also
was a conference between johnson
and Harding supporters. In which the
Ohioan's supporters tried without
success to have the remaining john
son strength swung to Harding.

which apparently bore tho most fruit
when the balloting began again, for

was in almost continuous applause as
state after state announced accession
to the Harding standard. It was re-
served for Pennsylvania to add the
crowning touch Of enthusiasm. When
the Keystone state was reached the
Ohio senator needed thirty-two votes
to nominate him. and Pennsylvania
gave him sixty.
It was Gov. Sproul himself, the
candidate Of his state on every pre-
ceding ballot and mentioned many
times as a possible dark horse to
break the deadlock. who announced
the big Pennsylvania vote for Hard
ing. Entering tho Coliseum floor for
the first time since the balloting be-
gan. he made his way to the Pennsyl-
vania standard and. amid cheers, re-
leased the delegation from longer sup
porting him. Then he took a poll, got
the floor and threw in the winning
Harding votes.
A demonstration Of several minutes
followed. most Of the delegates and
spectators standing and cheering
while a procession carrying largo pic
lures Of the candidate and standards
OF some OF tho states that supported
him took UP its march around the
