TwO-Thirds Rule
Retained by Democrats
BY Unanimous Vote

New York, June 20.-The Demo-
cratic convention today voted I'M
animously to retain the two thirds
rule for nomination of candidates
for president and vice president just
as it was framed last night by the
rules committee. Under the plan of
procedure as adopted a two-thirds
vote means two thirds of the ballots
of delegates present and voting and
not a two-thirds vote of the num-
Der of accredited delegates.
The question of changing the unit
rule which governs the vote of many
delegations did not come up in the
convention when the rules were
adopted. There is prospect,
though, that the issue may be raised
when balloting begins. as the minor
ity members of some delegations
want to bring the question to the
floor in the hope that they may be
freed from he unit rule as imposed
by he majority members of their
delegations.
Members of the convention, most
of them hoping that the convention
will not go as long as has been pre-
dicted. appeared to welcome foday's
plan of putting nominations ahead
OF consideration of the report of the
platform. This will speed the ma
chiacIy and will mean that delegates
will get away at least one day, per-
haps two days earlier than If the
convention paused to await the plat
form now in process of framing by
the platform committee.

Senator Arthur A. Sherman of Ports
mouth, r, l., Republican floor leader,
has beeni appointed strategist of the
group of exiles. The roll is called
three times daily, at meal hours. So
stringent are the precautions observed
against kidnapping. which the senators
profess to fear, that tonight one of the
party asked permission of the floor
leader to go to a little village store,
so feet from the hotel. The permits
sion was granted with the condition
that a guard must accompany the wan
derer.
In a statement tonight Senator Sher-
man declared that a three-fold guaran-
tee must be made by Governor William
S. Flynn and Lieutenant Governor Fe-
lix A. Toupin before the 81 will agree
to reenter the Rhode Island senate
chamber.
"They must assure us of our personal
bar
must promise to end the Democratic
filibuster in the senate. Thirdly. they
must agree to permit the Republican
majority to go on with the regular call
endar of business.
''If this three-fold promise Is not
made we are prepared to remain in
Massachusetts until January next.
when the present Rhode Island legis-
laturc goes out. You see. we intend to
stick 1t out. Do not forget that many
OF us are doing so at great personal
sacrifice, but we have pledged our
selves to remain here until the recalci-
trant Democratic minority yields to or
derby procedure in the senate"
The wives of several of the senator's
are now here, preparing for lengthy
stay. The wives of others are on their
way, the spokesman for the party said.
The eXiles have excited considerable
interest among the Inhabitants of Rut-
land and vicinity and tonight Senator
Frederick b, Cole of Warren was invit-
ed to address a meeting of county
farmers at the hotel.
Tomorrow the visitors planned to in
spect the United States veterans hos
pital about mile from their hotel

ceedings aimed at more than SO Of the
principal oil companies of the United
States, including all the Standard COM
panies, were instituted by the gov
eminent in federal court here today.
The action in equity, taken by Attor-

man of the board of directors of the
Indiana company, said tonight in for

REFUSE ORDER TO
: SEIZE LIQUOR ON
Liner BERENCARIA

New York. June 25.-(By A. P.)
Federal Judge Knox today denied
an order sought by officials of the
Neptune Association of Masters and
Mates directing Federal District At
torney Hayward to seize all liquors
aboard the Cunard liner Berenga-
ria.
The applicants for the order con-
tended that the recently adopted
treaty whereby ships of British reg
istry may bring liquors into Ameri-
can ports under seal was unconsti-
tutional. Judge Knox held that it
was I'm accordance with the eight
zenith amendment. and did not con-
fiict with the country's prohibition
agreement.
Silas Axtcll, attorney for the pc
titioners, said no further attempt
would be made to prevent the de-
parture of the Berengaria late to-
day but declared that he probably
would seek a warrant for arrest of
the vessels master on charges of
violating the prohibition laws. ~
No further attempt being made
to prevent her sailing, the Beren-
Earia slipped from her pier on
schedule late this afternoon in the
midst of thunderstorm.
Among her passengers was Roger
w. Kahn. the 17-year- son of
Otto II. Kahn, who recently organ
lied a jazz band despite his fathers
disapproval. Young Kahn was not
accompanied by his orchestra.
II am going abroad to do some
serious jazz work." he said.
