SAN FRANCISCO, July 1--After a futile night session given over princl- paIIy to waiting for the wet and dry fight to come off, the Democratic na- tional convention finally found the platform committee unable to report and without prospects of making a re- port before morning, it adjourned at 1O:25 o'clock until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 While the convention marked time, down in the big hall, tucked away In one corner of the big building, the plat form committee continued it's effort to harmonize its report. After practically closing up the question once, the com mfttee decided to give William J. Rr-van another opportunity to present a prohibition plank Apparently Mr. Bryan made such headway with ms arguments that the committee, which it was once thought would soon make it's report, with a majority determina- ton to leave the prohibition issue out of the document, found 1tse1 ullaDie to make report at all.
 Permanent Chairman Robinson had conference with Senator Glass of the resolutions committee and 1t was finally announced that there was little nrospect of the committee being ready to make it's report before tomorrow morning
