OF course the ships vary greatly in SIZE

1000 per ship, probably rather less than
more, for while a few ships might bring
1000 steerage passengers Or more per

But if we assume an average of 2, 900 per

Coolidge Well Pleased

BOSTON, June Ex-Governor Cool
idge, when notified tonight that he
had been nominated by the Republican
convention for the Vice-Presidency,
authorized The Associated Press to
say that he would accept the nomina-
ton.
Governor Coolidge received word of
his nomination in his apartment at the
Adams House, in company with Mrs.
Coolidge and his aid, Captain Charles
S. Riley, and his secretary, Henry F
Long. The Governor indicated that he
was very we'll pleased with the honor.
Governor Coolidge tonight sent the
following telegram to Senator Harding:
"Please accept my sincere congratu-
lations and the assurance of every sup
port in Massachusetts,"
Among the first to send congratula-
tory kilograms to Senator Warren G.
Harding on learning that he had OBJ
tanned the Republican nomination for
President was Herbert C. Hoover, who
was regarded as possible dark horse
in the Chicago race.
~ hasten to tender you my most
cordial personal congratulations on
your nomination." telegraphed Mr.
Hoover from New York, "and on the
great opportunity which it affords you
to interpret the desires of the Amer
ican people"

Choice OF Convention
for the Vice-Presidency

COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June l2.--
Only one ballot was required tonight
to nominate Governor Calvin Coolidge
Of Massachusetts. for the Vivc-Presi-
dency. From the first q landslide toward
Coolidge was apparent. 1t was Pennsyl-
vania's vote which gave him his ma
jority in the race, just as it was the
Pennsylvania delegates who made SEN
ator Harding the Presidential nominee.
Governor Coolidge was put in NOM
ination by William Grant Webster. of
Oregon. The nomination was seconded
many other states. There was a great
burst of enthusiasm for Coolidge as the
delegates fairly fell over themselves
for a chance to second him.
Governor Allen Nominated
Above the uproar and din member
of the Kansas delegation got on chair
and nominated Governor Henry j. Allen
for the Vice-Presidency Other names
were put upon rapid succession by
speakers whose words were not heard
above the tumult Colonel Henry w.
Anderson, of Richmond, was proposed
by member of the Virginia delega.
ton. A woman delegate from Maryland
climbed on chair sand tried to make
speech. The convention saw her ges
lures, but never heard word.
Senator Medill Mccormick put up
the name of Senator Irvine L. Lenroot
of Wisconsin, and there was wild ap-
plause from those who could hear. The
other candidates suggested were: Sena-
ators A. ]. Gronna, of North Dakota.
and Hiram w. Johnson, of California,
and Judge j. c. Pritchard, of North
Carolina.
All over the hall delegates were
standing on chairs or climbing on posts
devoting themselves to the business OF
making noise. 1t probably was reaea
from the tension of ten ballots and five
gruelling days in an intense heat.
Coolidge Gets 674Ia Votes
The poll for candidates stood:
Coolidge, 674k; Lenroot, 1864
Allen, 6SA; Anderson, %; Gronna
"a; Johnson, %; Pritchard, 10.
While the balloting for Vice-Presi-
dent was being done, the suffragists
were active. They unfurled a large
yellow banner from balcony bearing
"Why does the Republican party block
suffrage?"
Within five minutes after Senator
Harding had been nominated, the
suffragists from their headquarters
across the street were issuing state
ments announcing that they proposed
to center their demands for action on
the constitutional amendment upon the
nominee.
New-York tribune., 1920-06-13
Calvin A. Coolidge

sylvania had the honor Of casting the
vote that nominated him, and I am
deeply grateful to the members of the
state delegation for the splendid sup
port they gave me throughout the bal
loting."
But ler Congratulates Nominee
The first person to congratulate Sem
ator Harding on his victory was DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, the favorite
son of New York. DR.. Butler, in COM
menting on the nomination last night
at the Blackstone, said:
"Senator Harding is an old and warm
personal friend, and l greatly rejoice
at the distinguished honor that has
come to him. He is thorough going
American, and a Republican who be-
longs to no faction. 1t will be keen
pleasure to do everything in my power
to promote his election in November.
BY good fortune l was the first person
to congratulate him on his nomination,
as I was shaking hands with him in
the rooms Of the national committee in
it was reported that he had just re-
ceived enough votes to constitute a ma
Jority of the convention. 1t is safe
prediction that New York State will
give literally tremendous majority
for Harding and Coolidge"
Charles D. Hilles, the New York
member of the national committee, an
enthusiastic supporter of DR.. Butler,
said that the Republicans will elect
Harding and Coolidge.
Samuel S. Koenig, chairman of the
Republican County Committee of New
York, says that the selections could not
have been better
He issued the following statement:
"The nomination for ice-President
coming to me unsought and unexpect-
edly l accept as an honor and duty.
1T Will be especially pleasing to be
associated with my old friend Senator
Warren G. Harding, our candidate for
President.
"The Republican party has adopted
sound platform, chosen wise leader
and is united. 1t deserves the conf.
dence Of the American people. That
confidence l shall endeavor to secure"
Mrs. Coolidge Delighted
Mrs. Coolidge was plainly delighted
She said:
Il am surprised and gratified and
wish to thank the newspaper men for
supposlng the public would be inter-
ested in my feelings on this occasion"
At the moment Mrs. Coolidge was
reading the Life Of Harding" and had
recalled that she and the Governor had
heard the Senator speak three years
ago and were much impressed by him.
II would like to become acquainted
with Senator Harding" remarked Mrs.
Coolidge, which caused the Governor
to smile as, hanging up the telephone
receiver, he told her of the latest
news from Chicago.
TO the newspaper men he said: 81
am pleased and shall accept. l am
particularly pleased that | am to make
the run with Senator Harding"
The Governor then withdrew to pre-
pare a formal statement for the press.
He expects to go to Amherst, his alma
mater, tomorrow, where commence

went into a loud demonstration. That
threw Lowden gain of eight and a
half on the balloting so far.
Ohio Asks for a Poll
Ohio asked for a poll. In the midst
Of the poll one of the Wood delegates
started to say:
Senator Harding last night, having
relied for the Senator"---, but the
uproar in the delegation shut him off
and the poll went on. The man who
tried to speak voted for Wood.
The Ohio poll showed Harding thirty
nine, Wood nine. No change Oregon
also demanded q poll. Pennsylvania
stood pat with seventy-fve for Sproul
and one for Knox.
There was no nomination on the fifth
ballot. Wood lost fifteen and a half
votes and Harding and Lowden both
made gains.
The sixth ballot then was ordered
The calling of the roll logged along
on the sixth ballot uneventfully until
Georgia was reached and a poll de-
manded.
BY the return of an absent delegate
General Wood got back the one he lost
in Georgia. That restored the Georgia
poll to Lowden nine, Wood eight.
In Indiana Lowden gained four, Wood
lost two and Harding gained one.
Michigan Gives Wood Eleven
Michigan's thirty, which had been
standing solid for Johnson. broke after
delegates from that state and been
called fQr poll.
Eleven Of the thirty went to Wood
and one to Lowden. The remaining
eighteen stood pat for Johnson. 1t was
the first break in the solidly instruct

No Statement from Johnson

Gains Sho,un on Fifth
Ballot; Neau York Then
Threav AZ to LO,uden

COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June H.
When the Republican National Conven-
ton was called to order at 1925 a. m.
to-day, the New York delegation was
still trying to determine what to do
with its vote. Indiana caucused on the
floor.
AS the men who conducted the dark
horse conferences arrived they said
the situation was unchanged and that
the attempt to nominate Senator Har-
ding would be continued. Some Of the
men running the Lowden campaign on
the floor predicted that the convention
would keep right on balloting until the
Lowden total passed Woods.
Bishop Nicholson, Of Chicago, offered
tAe prayer.
At 1O:45 the fifth ballot was ordered
and the clerk called the roll.
When Kansas was reached Wood had
lost seven votes and Harding had gained
six.
Wood had lost fourteen and a hal.
votes when Missouri was reached
Lowden had lost one and half. Har.
ding was making an occasional gain.
When New York threw forty-two tc
Lowden, a great roar swept the con

raising his gain on the sixth ballot to
nine.
Wood had gained twelve and a half
by the time Nebraska was reached.
The lineup of the Ohio delegation
broke on poll during the sixth ballot,
some of the Harding s,rength going to
Wood. Wood gained four. The vote
was: Harding, So; Wood, 13.
Gains for the Wood forces in Ohio
caused another demonstration on the
floor. The word came up from the yari
ous managers that they intended to
stard pat and fight 1t out little
longer.
Lowden Gains in New York
In New York Wood lost one and Low
den gained two, making him forty-four
from the state.
Wood Gains in Michigan
Wood made gain in Michigan on
the seventh ballot. The poll stood:
Johnson, 16; Wood, 13; Lowden, i.
Wood, Harding and Lowden. al made
small gains from New York on the
seventh ballot.
Ohio stood on the seventh the same
as on the sixth-35 for Harding and
13 for Wood. Pennsylvania continued
to stand pat on Sproul amid the cheer
ing OF her delegation.
AS on the sixth ballot, there was no
nominate on the seventh.
On the seventh ballot the Lowden
and Wood positions were scarcely
changed, while Senator Harding made
all the gains, carrying him past the
100 mark.
The eighth ballot then was ordered.
Harding got gain Of another two
from Alabama. He also got a gain Of
three from Indiana.
On this ballot Michigan broke again
and Lowden votes appeared. At that
time Charles B. Warren, former ma
tional committeeman from Michigan,
was comforting with the New York DEL
egation, and Lowden accessions were
expected
Michigan's ballot as it stood on the
eighth was 10 for johnson, 13 for
Wood and for Lowden.
There was little change in New
York's ballot. and it was certain there
would be no nomination on the ballot.
-Four of the Wood votes went back to
Harding on the ballot, restoring his
original SO.
Wyoming Goes to Harding
for Harding on the eighth ballot. That
took three from Wood and three from
Lowden.
A pledge had been made to some Of
the delegates to recess after tho
eighth ballot, and there was great con-
fusion through the convention while
conferences on the subject went on.
When order was restored Mr.. Hert, of
Kentucky, the Lowden manager, moved
a recess until p. m. There were loud
cries Of "No, mol" 1t was seconded
from Pennsylvania and California.
Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, who nomi-
mated Harding, demanded a roll call,
unwilling to have recess in the midst
Of an apparently rising tide for his
candidate.
Mr.. Willis was called to the plat
form and told that the recess was be-
ing taken at the request CT the Har-
ding people. He returned to confer
with his delegation.
Ohioans Oppose Recess
The Ohio delegation refused to agree
to the recess, and former Governor
Willis and Myron T. Herrick, denying
that they wanted a recess, went up to
the platform for a conference. While
the conference was going on. the con-
vention was standing in the create st
confusion. Chairman Lodge finally in
duced the delegates to take their
seats. The conference on the platform
evidently resulted in something to the
satisfaction of Mr.. Willis and Mr..
Herrick, for they agreed to the recess
