San Francisco, June 26.-The influx
Of delegations which begun yesterday
continued and added horuly to the phys
ical and conventional congestion in
hotel lobbies. Out of the din arose
what some observers professed to rec
ognize as a squirt of nomination senti-
ment toward Governor Cox Of Ohio.

If the national committees plan is
ratified by the convention, the commit

size and be composed or a man and
woman member from each state, with

boatloads In the busy corridors Of the
hotels the white capped folk of the
quarter deck. resplendent in gold braid
and flowing boat cloaks, took keen
interest in getting first hand view
of political convention proceedings and
were themselves much observed by dele
gates from interior states. On the
streets the snappy sun-browned young
jackes crisp and trim in navy blues
and jaunty white watch caps took
cheerful part in any celebration they
could find.
