Managers Optimistic
When adjournment came and the
convention, broke up, managers for
the leading candidates were as posi-
tive as ever in their claims of ap-
preaching victory, but state leaders
not directly aligned with any camp
admitted that they did not know
what their delegation would do in
any circumstance. For that reason,
they declared they saw little pros
pect of successful efforts to fix up
a ticket over Sunday. Some of these
leaders, wise, old campaigners, de-

"a dark horse will be chosen on
Tuesday. If neither develops the
necessary majority, and 1 have no in
formation tonight that indicates any
change in the deadlock, something
will have to be done, and I look for
nomination not later than Tues

will cast that opportunity to the
| winds and rob the Democratic party
of the privilege of continuing as the
party of progress.
There is more at stake here than
the personality of the candidate"

the Cox manager. said Sunday night
he cared to make no statement on
the situation, but related an Incl

would be nominated within an hour
and a half after the convention be-
gins balloting Monday morning, and
offered to make it even money that
Cox would be nominated within two
and half hours.
1t was agreed that the winner
would contribute the money to
the Democratic national campaign
! fund
Vance Mccormick, of the Penn
sylvania delegation, said: we are
holding fast and expect to make
gains tomorrow"

ferencas held during the day and
that tho Palmer outlook was hopeful.
