Youngster Missing Au Night

Charles Elton Houser, nine years

Slow in PhOphesyinE.
No leader in the convention when it
reassembled could predict what the
outcome of today's proceedings will
be- The over-Sunday conferences had
resulted in failure to bring out any
plan promising TO break the deadlock.
McAdoo's refusal to agree to the COM
promise offered by the other fifteen
candidates had intensified the bitter
ness.
McAdoo presented an alternative
proposition which the other candidates
classed as too one-sided in his favor
and likely, if adopted, to result in his
speedy nominal ton. Indeed, many dele
gates believed this morning that the
contest may yet end in his nomina-
ton.
The situation as the day began was
regarded in some quarters as desper-
ate beyond description, fraught with
every prospect of continued roll calls
with but slightly varying results.
Meanwhile many of the delegates and
others connected with the convention
proceedings are near the point of
physical and nervous exhaustion.
Tempers are worn to a frazzle and
some are just living on their nerves.
Many Delegates Ab-ent.
If delegations are polled today and
a show down" demanded of the
number of delegates actually in the
hall, gaps will be disclosed in many
delegations, which fact may have a
potent influence upon determining
the nomination. Democrats have ap-
parently ceased to speculate upon the
possible effect of the wrangling upon
party prospects next November. Their
one thought now is to get out of

Fixe minutes later Charles had re-
Iaxed when the thrills failed imme-
diately to materialiZe. Close-ups of
famous celebrities of Broadway,
snatches of street scenes in New
York and a number of drawing room
views had taken up five perfectly
good minutes at the very outset.
But he came to rigid attention short
ly afterward when there flashed on
the screen the fateful legend:
The Great White Way"
The preliminary scenes, Charles un-
derstood now, were the lull before
the storm. He was now to get an
eyeful of the highway that led into
the jungle night. But something
went wrong on the screen. Instead
of the romantic vision he had
pictured. there appeared plain
