 + Palmer Releases
 Attorney General A. NJ. Palmer at 9:45 o'clock tonight at the close of the 3Sth ballot released his delegates and left the Democratic national conven- tion free to move out of it's deadlock and nominate a presidential candi- date.
 At the end Of the second ballot af- ter the recess, when the Palmer vote had touched 211 and it was apparent that it could be driven no higher, former Representative C. C. Carlin of Virginia, MT. Palmer's manager took the platform and announced the with drawal of the attorney general from the race. Chairman Robinson in pre- senting him told the convention sig nificantly that he yves presenting d man who had an announcement to make which he was confident the con vention would want to hear. EXpecta- tion was in the air and the conven- tion. which only moment before had been in the height of disorder in rackety demonstration quieted down like magic, until a pin might almost have been heard to drop in the great Auditorium as Carlin took the speak CTS place and said in substance; ;. ." am about to make an an-
 nouncement of greatest import
 ance to this convention at the con-
 cIusion of which l shall move a re- cess for 20 minutes to give the convention opportunity to decide
 what course it shall take.
 "A. Mitchell Palmer asked me
 to express thanks and apprecia- tion to every delegate who had voted for his nomination but is
 unwilling to delay the proceedings
 further and authorizes me to fin
 ally, positively and absolutely re-
 lease every delegate pledged to
 him at the convention.'
 There was a roar of "hurrah for Palmer as the lines broke and the convention went into recess. The de- inouncement, coming at the end of 3S hard fought and fruitless ballots, gave the same effect as does an over in Hated auto tire when it's bursts with a bang and then sizzles down.
 The entire Palmer vote added to McAdoo's total on the 3Sth ballot would give him 616h. The Palmer vote added to the Cox total on the same ballot would give the Ohio gov ernor 5941s. Both leading candidates would fall shoft of the two-thirds which is 729.
 The concensus of opinion seemed that Cox would gain in Massachusetts, Michigan and Maine, while McAdoo 9 would gain heavily in Georgia and that Pennsylvania would split be- tween Davis, McAdoo and Cox. There wa sspeculation as to how long Davis votes would hold.
 Delegations voted solidIy under the unit rule but at heart divided between McAdoo and other candidates, have caucuses which took place on the floor during the recess gave evidence of the feeling. There was shouting. !, waving of arms and some shaking of . fists and great deal of scurrying 5 about. Platform and convention hall floor were jammed with an arguing, F gesticulating mass or men-mostly l. men - but the argument was not r greater in volume with them despite l their preponderance in numerical 3 strength. Both the forces were claim l ing the bulk of the Palmer delegates. The claims were so conflicting that it : was apparent that only the 39th ballot I would tell the story.
 Fred B. Lynch of Minnesota gave i, . as his personal opinion that Georgia $ 2S would go to McAdoo and that most of Pennsylvania's 76 would go to Cox. II The Cox workers said that while they hoped to get a benefit from the re V lease of the Palmer delegates, they did not see a nomination on an i'm. mediate ballot and that there was still some fighting ahead.
