Meredith and Postmaster General Burleson already having joined the convention throng.
 MT. Meredith's coming was sigma lized by new manifestation of the kinship of his presidential boom with
 that of former Ambassador Gerard.
 Announcement already has been
 made that joint headquarters had
 been opened for these two, a thing
 unknown to the oldest habitue of
 political conventions. Today a huge

 Gavin McNab, in way host to the Democratic party ss a national com
 mitteeman for California, was host ;n fact last night at dinner to his committee colleagues.
 Out of gossip started by entertain
 ment came new report of an inn pending fight on the cnairnanship of the convention resolution commit tee which will draw up the platform. Senator Glass of Virginia has been , generally accepted as slated for tie pest although there has been strong talk within the last day or two that l Senator Walsh of Montana might get l the job. Glass arrived two days ago ! while Senator Walsh came in yes | terday.
 The Montana senator has the back l ing of William J. Bryan, who also l arrived yesterday armed and equip | ped, he intimated for a knock-down- l and-drag-out fight against any at tempt to slip a wet or even slightly | moist plank into the platform. Sena- tor Walsh has expressed opposition to a prohibition plank.
 MT. Bryan also is credited with l ideas of his own as to the League of Nations plank, not in accord with the Virginia state platform declaration approved by President Wilson. Owing to these considerations, the fight over the resolutions committee chairman
 ship was generally taken to be a
 struggle between administration and Bryan forces for control.
 MT. Burleson's coming revived in
 terest in his recent public castigation of certain provisions of the Volstea d
 enforcement act as absurd" That statement gave wet plank talk in
 platform discussions zest it had not |, previously known. Even now when
 many forces appear to be combining |. to suppress this issue completely and , leave the platform silent on the sub , ject there is great interest in watch ing the course, MT. Burleson will take and argument as to the extent to which he should be viewed as ad- , ministration spokesman on the point. Tom Taggart, former National Com mitteeman from Indiana, declared to- day that the Indiana delegation would 2 be for Vice President Marshall on - whatever road MT. Marshall elected for himself.

 Committeeman expressed confl- dence that the Georgia case would be put through, probably without vote against seating the delegation lined up for Attorney General Palm CT for president. They were not quite so sure of the result on Senator Reed.
 Previously it looked certain that he would be denied a seat, having been refused election as delegate at large by the state convention. There were intimations ;. overnight. how ever, of a disposition among some committee members not to oppose the senators plan for getting on the convention floor.
 The influx of delegates which be- gan yesterday continued and added hourly to the physical and conversa- tlonaI congestion in hotel lobbies. Out of the din arose what some observers professed to recognize as a spurt of nomination sentiment toward Gov. Cox of Ohio.
 The elusive McAdoo boom also put in a new and this time a public ap- pearance. Bobbing serenely into sight despite MT. McAdoos personal efforts to chloroform it some days ago, the movement for his nomination took the shape of cards appearing in hat bands of delegates here and there with the legend "Mac'll Do." As there is no McAdoo headquarters nor agency authorized to stimulate senti- ment for him so far as known, the source of the new manifestation of political immortality on the part of his boom was not clear.
