BENSON WARNS OF POLICY FOR
 U. s. SHIPPING
Chairman of Board Upholds Advantage Given U. s.
 In Export Trade
l4ssoei1ted Press Lsas,d Wire)


 WASHINGTON, July l. - Warn ing foreign interests not to attempt to interfere with the American de velopment of merchant marine. Chairman Benson of the shipping board declared today that the board was going to build up an American merchant marine as contemplated by the Jones shipping act, despite threats and propaganda by such in- terests to defeat the law.
 Admiral Benson's warning was founded in talk to representative of Pacific coast chambers of com merce and trade bodies and Ameri- can railroad representatives which have been disturbed by threats to divert trade from points on the Pa cific coast because of the section of the merchant act which permitted a preferential rate over foreign car riers within the United States on merchandise moving in export and import in American vessels. Such a threat, the chairman said, "is futile ana idle"
 "As this section is to be used only where there is an ample American tonnage to handle the export and i'm port commerce to any particular port in foreign country or possession of the United States, We cannot con- ceive how any one who has studied this law can assume that the ship. ping board would make any general application of this section. There will certainly be no enforcement of ! the provision without concurrent ac. tion which will fully protect all | American interests"
 Admiral Benson said that in the transPacific trade at this tune there seemed to have been specific and successful efforts to prevent Ameri can vessels from securing return car goes at certain points while ships of (CONTTNUED ON FACE TWO)

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1.-The nomination of John w. Davis as a presidential candidate at this mornings session of the Democratic national convention creates new and very interesting situation.

 SAN FRANCISCO, JuIy1.-The platform committee of the Demo- cratic national convention com peted it's Iabors at 12:15 this morning with the decisive defeat of both wet and dry platform blanks. The committee draft of the platform which will be sub- mitted to the convention tomor- row contains no mention of the prohibition enforcement issues.
 After the committee oted 30 to 12 against all blanks offered which attempted to write a decIa- ration in regard to enforcement of the Volstead act, William J. Bryan, field marshal of the dry ad- herents, announced that he would carry his fight for bone-drv declaration to the convention floor.
 MT Bryan further stated that he 1ad amendments to offer to the plat -orm as adopted by the resolutions affecting other matters. He did not state what blanks he would attempt to alter on the floor. saying that he did not feel at liberty -o disclose his plans as the commit tee draft of the platform had not been made public.
 The committee battle over the plat. form began Monday night at the con. elusion of the first session of the com mittee. The committee of nine. which first took up the task encountered many clashing views and eventually its tentative draft for the full committee with the understand ing that the fight would be trans ferred to the larger body.

SAN FRANCISCO, July l. - At o'clock tonight, the hour set for the reassembling of the Democratic nat ional convention. the platform commit tee was not ready to report and the prospects were that the convention would not get under way for some time.
 Tn anticipation of the prohibition fight the convention hall was packed at the appointed hour. The delegates were ready and the last tiers of the gallery up under the edges Of the roof were as full as they could De. -',e band, the organ and the singers enter tained the crowd.
 Friends of William Jennings
 Bryan, recalling threats of bodily
 harm made upon him at Baltl-
 more in 1912, had arranged to be
 prepared to defend their chapion
 in case he should be imperilled in
 the heat of the battle Of the vets
 and drys. They had favorable
 points about the speakers stand
 and on the floor waiting for the
 possible developments they hoped
 would not come.
 Although the big auditorium was packed to the doors and roof, fully 50.000 persons with tickets of admis- sion were on the outside and unable to get in. At S:35 Chairman Robinson wanted to make an announcement but the band and organ prevented it by breaking into The Sidewalks of New York"
 At $40 the chairman finally got order and directed that the aisles be cleared
 As usual the proceedings started with prayer and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner.
 At $50 the platform committee re- ported it was still not ready On mo- tion of delegate Linebaugh, the con- vention went into a temporary recess while the state delegations caucused to name their national committee members Most of them had already been selected and the announcement in that fashion was principally time killing proposition while the platform committee continued to work.
 Cox vs. McAdoo
 While this was all going on, the ef- forts of the combination attempting to form against the nomination of William G. McAdoo was at work and reports which came to the convention hall said it had decided to center on Cox for the present. The McAdoo peo- pie on the other hand, were predicting that their canidate wotld "go over the top" before the fifth ballot. They claimed backing of many prominent administration leaders who are on the ground here.

 the prohibition enforcement question. SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-After a futile all night session given over to

While the conven- ! tion marked time down in the big hall. tucked away in one corner of the
 building the platform committee con l tinued it's effort to harmoniZe its re

 to give William J. Bryan another op- portunity to present a prohibition such headway with his arguments that the committee. which it was once thought would soon make its report. with a majority determination 10 leave the prohibition issue out of the dOcu-

 Permanent Chairman Robinson had

 to make its report before tomorrow morning.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1. - The attempt at a combination against the nomination of William G. McAdoo was still being c.rried on when the convention went into it's night ses- sion but it still was without any def mite results. Lack of headway was ascribed to the absence of coatrol and to the feeling among many of those importuned to join that it was really directed against President Wilson rather than wholly a move ment against McAdoo. That feeling, its managers agreed, was it's weak ness.
 Another real difficulty was that many supporters of candidates who have bright chances. particularly Palmer, and Cox, argued that they should not be asked to desert their candidates until it had been develop ed whether they can gain strength In these camps were scattering dei. egates who preferred McAdoo to any dark horse. The promoters of the attempted compination against Me Adoo were going on desultOrily and one after another, they continued to bring forward such names as former Speaker Clark, Vice President Mar shall, Homer Cummings, Bainbridge Colby and even William J. Bryan.
 Clearly and admittedly there was no name about which they could rally. The Cox and Palmer leaders
