Indiana Bell Telephone Com
pany, beneficiary of the Federal
Court order making increase
in rates possible whenever the
utility felt like it, had a taste
of another kind of court action
today. 1t did what a court

Assistant Bailiff w. O. Nc
Kinney called the company
over another phone and served
notice that if the repeated de

tell why.
Phone was fixed in twenty

thirty-fourth ballot was accompa-
MED by a rousing demonstration on
the part Of the McAdoo delegations,
but this vote of the 445 was still
thirty-f3ur votes short of what Nc
Adoo polled on the first ballot Tues
day, and he has a considerable way
to gain his initial strength.
Mississippi has agreed to stand
by McAdoo for five ballots in or

just what he can do. After five
ballots Mississippi delegates viii be
free to go elsewhere if they wish.
Governor Smiths managers were
still smiling confidently. They point
ed out that McAdOo was gathering
no new strength whatever and the
increase in his vote today was the
return of voters he had on the first
ballot.
The McAdoo people were putting
up a desperate fight. Locked in his
room in the Madison Square Hotel,
McAdoo sent for his floor leaders and

him, and there was a constant
stream of followers moving in and
out Of the conference room.
Meantime Governor Smith was in
the Manhattan Club. next door to
the Madison Square Hotel He spent
his time chatting with friends and
receiving reports from the floor and
manifested no concern.
While the convention was much
stirred up over the increase in the
McAdoo vote, nothing has happened
as yet to change the cold politics of
the situation. This is, that McAdoo
and Smith are apparently hopelessly
deadlocked
A report was in circulation that
National Chairman Hull planned to
take the platform late this afternoon
and appeal to the warning factions
to try and get together.
He intended, it is reported, to point
to the possibility Of victory for the
Democrats this year and urge the
leaders not to go too far into their
fight and run the chances of arous-
ing the animosities that would en-
danger the party in the election.
A part of this reported plan would
then be for Hull to suggest an ad-
journment until 1890 tonight. to en-
able the leaders to get together in
a series of conferences in an attempt
to agree upon a man who can be
nominated.

Senator Ralston of Indiana was
found to be the compromise pick Of
an increasing number of delegations
as voting was resumed today.
There was little change on the first

over the last taken Tuesday night.
McAdoo got 41512 votes, exactly the
same as on the thirtieth. Smith
held 322h. Davis polled 1271a and
Ralston 80.
The situation on the thirty-second
ballot was practically the same: Nc
