PART IN THE NOMINATION OF HARDING
rBy a star Correspondent.) )

Chicago. June 1S Delayed in Trans fnissio sN Connecticut isn't pivotal state and its size is not such as to make i ia big factor in the national republican convention. but it nevertheless played an important part in turning the tide that led to the nomination or Warren G. Harding of Ohio for president fo the United States.
 Connecticut started out to stand as unit. and with the exception of the vote of John T. King on the entire ballots and couple of others on two ballots, its delegation held together both for presi- ient and vice president
 In view of the majority of the delega- lion favoring Lowden, he rec /led 13 of 1I for six ballots. On the last day Sen stor Bowers who had always favored wood, changed his vote and supported his favorite on the next two ballots. On the eighth ballot Delegate Alcorn cast hi. vote for Coolidge, but thereafter there was a decided change and quick ending of the balloting. It was realized that both Wood and Lowden had ceased to gain. that Harding was going strong and that his nomination was probable Ken lucky in asking for recess indicated that it was ready to flop and it came with whoop as the convention reassembled and Connecticut, me nltn Slate u De pOiioU' swuEE into line for Senator Harding witli ls votes, the King vote still going to Johnson. This aroused the convention to a high pitch of enthusiasm and soon after Kansas Kentucky and Louisiana follow sd. Connecticut changed because it real ized that Lowden could not get the necessary number of votes, while Harding would make an excellent compromise and could be expected to get Lowden support He crossed the goal line on tie second ballot thereafter.
 The Connecticut delegation feels highly pleased at the result. which is likewise the view of Senator Brandegee, who did not return with the delegation as expect ed but remained in Chicago for a few days as the guest of Senator Mccormick.
 When it came to the vice presidency, Connecticut was enthusiastic for Coolidge as the running mate for Harding. The delegation was unanimous in it's vote with I3 voting Delegate King, however, did not remain to vote.
 The delegation left for home this morning but without the accommodations that had been promised for second time by the railroad. Secretary Klett saw the party off but leave here tonight for the Pacific coast to attend the Shriners convention.
 The Connecticut delegation reached Hartford at 1925 o'clock Monday noon and immediately left for their respective sections of the state. The return trip was without incident.

CLOTHING SUITABLE FOR
 SAN FRANCISCO WEATHER

San Francisco, June 14.-Folks who as- sociate national conventions with torrid temperatures, lightweight suits and lattice work underwear had better disillusion themselves if they are coming to the na- tional convention of the democrats herI according to the United States weather bureau. All sartorial effects should in- clude fairly warm inner and outer cloth ing and a light overcoat.
 If the weather runs to form," smart westerly winds, carrying a penetrating chill, will blow in off the Pacific ocean and cool afternoons and cooler evenings wiliSbe the order. This last phase will be assisted by fogs in the late afternoon.
 The bureau believes it will be goon convention weather" with plenty of op- portunity for the average orator to warm up without looking like a bundle of wet wash. If the usual hectic parades for the convention are staged toward the end of the afternoon, there need be no shedding of coats, collars or galluses.
 But" the weather bureau said, "un- less man seeks to keep warm by his enthusiasm alone, he had better come prepared"

more votes than Lowden."
 Tt was clearly necessary. therefore" the statement continues, for New York to become the Belgium of the war and I cheerfully gave my approval for the plan to turn New Works vote to Lowden in increasing volume on the second. third fourth, fifth. sixth and seventh ballots. I sent word to the New York delegation by James R. Sheffield that with me party success and party honor came first. I also said that no personal interest Of mine should be considered until party success and party honor had been pro- tected.
 Tt was this New York vote for Low den taken from the ss votes that had been cast for me that gave Lowden his lead on the fifth Eallot and that enabled him substantially to equal the Wood vote on the ballot immediately following. When after the seventh ballot it was clear that Lowden could not be norninzt- ed. we helped the drift toward Harding and on the ninth ballot became the de- cisiye psychological factor by giving Harding e6 votes
 The few New York votes that con- tinued to support me to the end were cast iu pursuance of earnest requests from delegates in Connecticut New Jersey Michigan, Minnesota. Illinois. Iowa. Mis-. souri. North Dakota, California, Wash ington. Texas and Kentucky. in order that if the effort to nominate Senator Harding should fail. my name might stiIl remain upon the list of candidates before the convention.
 The New Workers who care for the l republican party and for the success of it's principles and who are jealous of the honor should rejoice and take satisfaction that their representatives in the repubii- can national convention. although hy no means unified in sentiment or in organ ization, were yet able to exert so com i nanding an influence in a great emer- | gency."
 Harding and Coolidge" the statement closes, 'are first of all patriotic Ameri- cans. next republicans to the core. We are to have the satisfaction of supporting 1 and electing a real republican ticket We may now look forward with complete con- fidence to the restoration of the national

New York. June 14-Charges that "a motley group of stock gamblers, oil and mining promoters, munition makers and other like persons seized upon so good man as General Wood and with reckless audacity started out to buy for him the presidential nomination" were made in statement given out here tonight by Nicholas Murray Butler. an unsuccessful candidate for the republican nomination.
 It was the cause of genuine sorrow to me as to many others of General Woods personal friends" he said, to see him put in this unhappy position There was nothing to do in order to save the republican party but tc> Iefeat the band of men that were behind him with their bank accounts and their great financial influence. This meant that we had to defeat General Wood himself" The forces that were defeated in their insolent attempt to buy the nomination. 1" ke added, represent all that is worse in American business and American political life. It is really too bad that they hit | upon General Wood as their choice. They should have found someone to support for whom the country has less respect and less regard"
 The chief task of the convention" the statement said. was to prevent the sale | of the presidential nomination at auction 10 the highest bidder. Had this not been i done, the party faced not only certain | defeat but crushing dishonor The eS New York delegates who voted for me or the first ballot were the chief factor ir stopping the Hindenberg drive to over

 out that the first ballot gave Genera
 Wood a substantial lead and that "th,

 Owing to local and state complications
