-LooK OLDER THAN LoNpoNs

Looking back on lt all. realize that America never struck me as a new country. although it's inhabitants often seemed to bs a new people. The cities arc mors mature than the citizens, New York. Chicago. Boston. Philadel- phiA Waahington-- Rll have an air of parmmnneos and age. The buildings, swen when most fantastic. suggest in- aiwenousness or at least stability; nor would the presence of more ancient structures increase this effect.
 To tho eye of the ordinary English man. accustomed to work fin what we call the city, in Fleet street. in the Strand. in Piocadilly or in Oxford strogt, New York would not appear to be a younger place than London. and Boston might easily strike him as older. Nor is London more than a little older. except i'm spot, such as the Tower and the Temple and the Abbey and that little Tudor row in Holborn. all sep aratsd by vast tracts of modernity.
 Indeed. I would almost so further and cay that London sets up an illusion of heing newer even than New York. by reason of It's moro disturbing street traffic both fin the roads and on the eootwayu. and the prevalence of the wnyfy colored omnibus which thunders along co many thoroughfares. in not abie contrast with the sedate and sober vehicles that serve Fifth avenue and arc hardly seen elsewhere-E.

H'ADO() WON'T Be:
PUT IN NOMINATION
OBy Associated PressI

San Francisco, June 30.-DefiniSe
and full instructions came from the
east today that McAdoo's name is not
formally to be placed before the
Democratic National Convention. DR..
Burris Jenkins has revised his plans
again and has decided not to make
III; nominating speech.
His supporters expect McAdoo
to have 500 votes on the first bal
lot. They claim only the defec-
tion thus far is Maryland and
they expect those votes to return
after tie first few ballots.
Both Cox and Palmer forces
viewed with evident satisfaction
the scrimmage within the Nc
Adoo forces to make the nomin-
alton a three-cornered contest
from the beginning. They have
insisted all along they would not
permit McAdoo to wait for the
psychological moment when the
convention was unable to throw
d two-thirds vote to either OF
them and would turn to some one
else.
Palmer headquarters issued d
statement that Palmer was
stronger than ever before
Cox forces are professedly TN
disturbed by the wet and dry ar
gument, and have frightened up
their lines.
Meanwhile, dark horse talk be-
came more persistent with Mar
shall, Davis and Cummings the
most frequently mentioned.
