3.-The Cox. McAdoo and Palmer
forces and those hoping to de-
velop dark horse spent the hours
between recess and assembling at
p. m. tonight in hurried con-
ference and desperate efforts to
line up compromise ticket. Word
from Washington that President
wilson was pursuing a hands off"
policy added to the confusion of
the situation.
To every argument advanced for
some dark horse objections were
heard in opposition. Those op-
posed to Cox argued the Ohio gov
ernor had reached the maximum
of his strength and lost his oppor-
tunity when the suspension of the
balloting was permitted for the
recess. McAdoo and Palmer forces
were importunod by each other to
find way to stop him
Despite the statements of some
leaders that sit can

pointed out that the dark horsn
movement had found no rallying
point and that Cox still remained
u potential force which from
small number at the start had
taken the lead In the balIoting and
nosed McAdoo out of first place.
McAdoo supporters Confer.
MCAdoo supporters had con-
ference and according to their an
decided to stand pat
and attempt to hold all the votes
they could. They said no attempt
would be made TO coalesce with the
Palmer people tonight because
they felt a breaking Of the Palmer
block would turn votes to Cox. The
Cox people at the same time had a
and announced they
also would stand pat"
As matter of fact 1t appeared
that either the Cox or Palmer
forces would be willing to go to
somebody else If the transition re-
suited in losses to each other.
IN short, the Cox people were
determined to beat McAdoo and
the MCAdoo people were no less
determined to beat Cox.
