May Change Two-thirds Ruie.
[By Hugh Baillie, United Press Staff
Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, June ia de-
termined effort is being planned to
bring before the democratic national
convention the question Of changing
the rule whereby a tWo-thirds vote
is necessary to nominate, it was
learned today.
Chairman Homer S. Cummings and
other national committee members
opposed to the change believe they
can beat it. William J. Bryan is ex-
pected to take a leading part in the
fight for the change.
A rule making a majority vote suf-
ficient to nominate, the same as in
the republican convention, is wanted.
The change was proposed at the last
meeting of the national committee.
It was never considered. Now its
proponents think that If they can get
it before the convention they can
win.
A few individual delegates were
struggling in today, but no solid
delegations are expected until next
week. Several are enroute.
There was much interest among
the few here in President Wilson's
interview given to the New York
World, in which he reiterated that
the democratic convention should
make the league Of nations an issue.
Few Bryanites were on the ground,
therefore little opposition was voiced.
Miss Mary E. Foy, of Los Angeles,
a delegate to the convention, de-
clared the president had struck the
proper note; that the majority of
the women voters, regardless OF par
ty affiliations, wanted ratification of
the league Of nations, and that they
would follow Wilson's judgment and
advice in the matter.

25 will hear arguments over seating
