San F,n.ncisco. .July s<Jamesi NJ.
Cox. thres times governor OF ohio,
was nominated for the presidency
early this morning by the democrat
ic national convention in the break
up OF one Of the most prolonged
deadlocks in the history Of national
political parties.
z It took forty-four ballots to make
a choice and it was not until the
thirty eighth. when Attorney Genera
Palmer withdrew from the race, tina,
the long succession Of roll calls
showed arly definite trend.
McAdoo Men Give Up.
When the ba1loting on the forty
fourth vote had reached point
where Coz: had TOE votes and was
rapidly approaching the necessary
two-thirds, or 72s, Sam b. Amidon,
OF Kansas, manager Of McAdoo forc-
es and vice chairman Of the demo-
cratic national committee, moved the
nomination. Of Cox be made unani-
nous. Immediately there was a roar
lasting four minutes, and when
Chairman Robinson put the motion
1t carried with q rolling chorus OF
ayes and O, crash Of brass bands. AT
.s11AQ oscJool, fbfs ~ oyV,~. <v.Au .E,l,-

voted. In the hour Of confusion anu
excitement OF tho nomination the
delegates apparently lost sight of
naming vice president, but while
they demonstrated leaders figured on
list which prominently included
Franklin d. Roosevelt, assistant sec
retary Of the navy. Leaders arranged
adjournment until noon and during
recess will canvass the situation and
meet again prepared to complete the
ticket.
Palmer Eliminates MoAdoo.
In the turnover sof the Palmer
delegates Cox gained the advantage
over William g. McAdoo, his rival
for first place since early in the ball
loting.
n Should II be decided to give SEQ
ond place on the ticket to the east,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Of New York.
assistant secretary Of the navy, seems
to be the f,ayorite, but If the nomina-
ton goes to the west, there are sew
trail possibilities talked about by the
leaders.
Battle Tide Shifts Many Times.
Supporters Of Governor Cox won
the way tc' the nomination by per-
sistcnt battering at the McAdoo and
Palmer forces in many states thru
out long series of shifting and rail-
lies which put now one and then an
other Of the candidates In the lead.
On the opening ballot Friday the
governor was in third place. He soon
passed Palmer, however, and on the
twelfth ballot went ahead Of McAdoo.
Then began a seesawing between the
Cox and M,:Adoo totals which, at the
end of the thirty ninth roll call at
midnight, found them virtually the
same.
Palmer Forces Break.
On the forty-second ballot the ac-
cession of most Of the Palmer
strength to Cox put him ahead. and
after that great and little state dele
cations went into the Cox column in
procession.
OF the forty-four ballots, two were
taken last Friday night; fourteen at
the first session Saturday. and six at
the Saturday night session. There
were twenty-five recorded yesterday.
fourteen at the all-day session and
eight lest nigh.
Cox Starts Low.
Cox began the fight with 134 on
the first ballot and climbed steadily
until the fifteenth. when he had 1854.
