for a full four minutes before Chair
man Robinson could put the question
on AmidOn's motion to suspend the

ton.
At 1 :43 o'clock this morning the mo-
ton was formally voted over with n

1oting and predicting further aces
Slons, defeated a motion to adjourn
the convention which had the support
sf the AcAdoo forces. The Cox peo-
