planned to continue their campaign
to wear him out. The McAdoo peo-

effort had been to wear out, argued
that 1t had been failure.
Scattered seventeen ways from
the three leaders to Champ Clark
and Woodrow Wilson. there was no
doubt whatever that the voters of
the, convention were ready for any
those, lucky tricks of convention
legerdemain which pull presiden-
tial nomination out of a. hat.
With the three leaders knocking
their heads together. friends of can
didates Of lesser strength showed
renewed determination to keep their
favorites in the running.
The attitude of the dark-horse
hackers. who, on the last ballot of
Saturday night, held combined vot-
vention, helped to lock the situa-
tior tighter. For the present the
task of putting over any one of the
big three without breaking into that
block of votes seemed to be a re-
mote one.
List of Dark Horses
The list of dark horses for whom
movements seem to be on foot still
included John w. Davis, of West
Virginia; Senator Glass, of Virginia;
Senator owen, of Oklahoma; Homer
S. Cummings, of Connecticut, and

President Marshall. There was an
indication that Indiana, which sup
ported him soliGly at the outset,
might socn return to him II the
deadlock continues.
The tive votes for President Will
son on the twenty. second ballot the
first to be cast i"r him throughout
the long grind of roll calls, were
not ,reg"rded as prophetic Of a swing e
nomination fer a third term seemed
to be farthesr from the thoughts of
even his most devoted followers
among the big men of the convention.
Or the four heading the lesser
group, Ambassador Davis had the
greatest strength. His vote on the
final call Saturday had been 81. But
all efforts to start :. serious break
in his direction had been unavail-
| ing, and after conferences his friends
tonight were claiming more strength
for him, but no.h:r Ike a stampede

| Demonstrations began with the
switch of a handful of votes. The
! band and pipe organ Joined In re-
peatedly and wrought nightly to
stimulate the efforts of par paTtis aadto
standards where support for the
candidates was decided. Rival parti-

Georgia's Change
| When an announcement from the
platform showed Cox's strength to
be approaching 500, there came
tumult Of Cox enthusiasm rivalling
their earlier outburst, when New
York broke and planted 70 votes
behind the Ohio governor: The red
coated Cox band, the red-headed yell
ers jumped into the uproar.
McAdoo supporters scented dan
ger. AS by magic, they organized
on the floor in opposition and, with
the Texas standard leading, began d

tirement and a flock of southern
and western state banners were
thrust into line. The Cox band be-

elderly but agile Ohionian exhorting
spectators to join in the uproar.
Ohio delegates on the floor Joined in.
Followed by group OF middle west
dern and eastern standards and led
through the aisles in one direction.
while the McAdoo parade surged
slowly and jerllingly ahead through
the crowd in the other.
The Ohio band and the regular
convention musical forces got at
odds. They hurled musical lombard
ments at each other over the heads
of the delegates. A terrific din
and blare of sound was the result
Nobody but the musicians knew
what they were playing, and APP
parently nobody cared.
When the storm and noise and aV-
ton reached it's height, Palmer hosts
in the Pennsylvania delegation again
got into action. The maroon pen
nants associated with the demon
strations for the attorney general
!appeared again. At the gallery rail

When Georgia's 2S went over to
McAdoo as a compliment from the
state of his Nativity. a new uproar
came. McAdoo followers 1eaped ~
their feet all over the hall, prepared
to begin all over again, even while
still drawing breath from their last
effort. There were some looks of
agitation among the Cox groups as
they watched the poll vote by vote
when order was restored
Each change of one vote caused
| a roar.
The ballot showed a distinct gain
for McAdoo and some loss for Cox.
The whole convention began talk
