that the caucuses which took place on the floor during the recess gave evil dences of the feeling. There was shouting, waving of arms and some shaking of fists and great deal of scurrying about Platform and con- vention hall floor were damned with arguing, gesticulating masses of men and women-mostly men-but the ar gument was no greater in volume with them despite their preponderance in number.
 Both the McAdoo and Cox forces were claiming the bulk of the Palmer delegates The claims were so con- f1icting that 1t was apparent that on ly the 39th ballot could tell the story.
 During the recess there was circu- lated about the floor copies of tele- gram from Judge Moore, Coxs man. ager. to Daniel c. Roper of New York accredited with being one of the McAdoo managers, charging that "a crowd of government employees and treasury officials are for their own
  McAdoo's expressed wishes improper ly using his name to create dead lock in this convention"
 Charging that several delegations were packed with government em- ployes, holding out for the nomina- tion of McAdoo, Moore's telegram charged the action is creating na- tional scandal to the ruin of the Dem ocratic party"
 "They know there is no chance to noimnate him" the telegram con- tinued, but hope to bring about a sit uation where they can deal off the delegates to some candidates where their jobs will be protected"
 Cox forces, soon after midnight, jubilant with a new level In the bal loting and predicting further access sions, defeated motion to adjourn the convention which had the support of the McAdoo forces The Cox peo- pie wanted to press their advantage, the McAdoo people wanted to adjourn. A roll call was forced and the conven- ton proceeded to the forty-second ballot.
 Chairman Robinson called the con- vention to order for it's night session and the beginning of the 37th ballot. On the 37th ballot the first of the night session, Arizona nominated 8 full ticket. The state chairman, an; nouncing that Arizona believes the ticket should be McAdoo and Cox" cast four for McAdoo and two for the ! Ohio governor.
 When the chairman announced no choice on the 37th the Cox. McAdoo and Palmer rose up and called to one another to join and end the deadlock.

 There was roar of "Hurrah for Palmer" as the lines broke and the convention went into recess. The an. nouncCment, coming at the end of 3S hard fought and fruitless ballots, gave the same effect as does an overin. fiated automobile tire when it bursts with bang and then sizzles down.

While the leather coat fad has been popular in other cities for a long time New Britain merchants report that last year was the most popular season here. There were very few real leather coats sold in this city. as the majority are leatherette. These do not wear as we'll as the real coats, but they were much more reasonable in price and are good for all season.
 On account of the high cost of ma terials, returned soldiers have had their army coats made over and dyed. These are exceedingly warm and have proved most desirable.

S1, 100000 FIRE ON
 U. s. BRIDAL SHIP"

steamer St. Louis Nearly Destroyed by
 Flames of Unknown Origin in New
 York.
 New York, Jan. 9.-Damage to the American line steamer St. Louis, which burned at a Hoboken shipyard last night, was estimated at S1.OO0,OOO early today. The interior Of the ship was wrecked and her plates badly warped. When, at midnight, the St. Louis listed and settled against the steamer kroonland, it was feared that craft was in peril. However, boats standing by kept streams of water playing on her and she did not take fire although the sides were scorched The St. Louis seacocks were opened shortly before she settled against the kroonlund.
 The St Louis was being retitted as q passenger steamer after service as the transport Louisville during the War. Launched at the Cramps ship yard in Philadelphia. in 1894, and christened by Mrs. Grover Cleveland. she was the first passenger vessel to be built in this country in more than 20 years.
 The craft at that time was the third largest in eNistenC2 and was the fast est. She and her sister craft, the St. Paul. launched the following year, were used as auxiliary cruisers during the Spanish American war. The St. Paul cupsizcd at her pier during the war.
 The St. Louis brought home so many French wives of American soldiers in her later days as a trans port that navy men called her the "bridal ship.
 The origin of the fire was being in vcstiGated today.
