open fight would be likely, il is pre-
! dicted, to furnish many thrilling
| turns.
Bryan May Head Prohibitionists.
William Jennings Bryan would be
| expected to head the bone drys and
he. probably would find pitted against
him strategists and orators of the first
rank
w. Bourke Cochran of New York was
mentioned as one of those who might
be asked to match wits and eloquence
with the 'Nebraskan in the debate.
Although Mr.. Bryan is expected to
make a fight also against the admins
tration treaty plank, the general belief
of his friends here is that he will re
serve his greatest effort for the pro-
hibition problem. Senator Carter Glass
of Virginia, who is credited with hold.
ing President Wilson's commission to
write the administration league of ma
tions plank, is the leading candidate
for chairman of the platform commit
tee and the general prediction to day
was that he would be chosen to that
position with little opposition.
Chairman Cummings said to-day
that it still was an open question
whether the adoption of the platform
or the choice of nominee would come
first on the convention program. The
prospect of prolonged fight in com
mittee over prohibition and perhaps
some other subjects has led to move
ment to go ahead with balloting while
the committee sits.
Such talk as there was to-day re-
garding candidates seemed to strength
en- the prospects of deadlock for sew
eral ballots. Some of those in the in
ner circle of plans said it was hard to-
conceive how the two thirds necessary
to nominate could be brought into one
column for two or three roll calls at
least, and they pointed out that II
two or three candidates divided the
bulk of the voting strength among
them. favorite sons and dark horses
would be encouraged to prolong the
deadlock by holding to their balance of
power.
In the generally accepted view, the
of William c. McAdoo viii
operate to make a deadlock more like
lv bv distributing more or less widely
the strength which had been lined up
behind him. Some thought. however,
that a considerable following would
vote for him despite his public with
drawal, while the most enthusiastic
of the McAdoo supporters still were
predicting that he would be the nom
inee.

Londonderry, Ireland. June %
There was no cessation to-day in the

derry in terrorstricken state for
some days past. During the night the
rival factions erected additional bar.
ricades, from which they kept up cen
tinuous fire. At times the shooting
reached the intensity of volleys.
The malcontents to-day were in
charge Of most Of the city and it even
was impossible 20 learn the number
of casualties from the authorities. Re
ports were in circulation that several
bodies have been seen lying in Bishop
street, but any attempt to- get to Bish-
op street to verify the reports was
virtual suicide.
The military remained passive, the
troops watching forces of armed men
pass through the side streets TO their
battle positions. Considerable fighting
occurred on the waterfront. which was
cut off from the rest of the town. The
central police station was isolated from
the other stations and the police vir-
tuslly were besieged,
II was rumored that force of Sim
Feiners was gathering outside the city
and also that the Irish volunteers were
about to take hand. No more troops
had arrived in Londonderry up TO this
afternoon. II was reported, however,
that an additional battalion had de
trained at Colerain, about 30 miles
northeast of this city, and was march
ing in to escape the danger of its train
being wrecked.
