dential nature so that the gentlemen present might speak out without reser- vation and thus permit the fullest and freest possible interchange of views with regard to the convention situa- tion.
 There existed throughout the confer ence good spirit of fellowship and no disposition to indulge in controversies about individuals. The representatives of the various candidates of course showed proper loyalty to their respect i've candidates but at the same time they exhibited fine party spirit and an earnest desire to facilitate in every possible way the work of the conven- tion..
 Asked whether there had been any proposal of plans for the elimination of candidates Chairman Hull replied:
 No Concrete Proposals
 There were no concrete proposals taken up tonight. There was a general shall hope when we reach concrete pro- posals at our next meeting to make pro- gress and through a general discussion of the different questions get down to clarifying of the situation"
 MI. 11ull TcluScu lO SIdJC WucLuSr the discussion had indicated a dead lock among the representatives of the different candidates. Those who were present are now in a much better situation to offer definite suggestions for consideration and action at the next meeting" he added.
 Asked whether there had been a dis cussion of availability of the different candidates he replied:
 "The members present assumed that they all were entirely familiar with the merits of each candidate and there fore we did not go into that question"
 Combine Fire
 The peace barley had it's real begin hing earlier in the day when the forces opposed to McAdoo joined hands in a determination to definitely and finally accomplish his defeat. l
 The combined opposition lifted Smith to a new level in the balloting, with more than enough votes to veto the selection of any other candidate; de- feated one after another string of proposals designed to either ward off a decision or improve the parliamentary position of the McAdoo followers; and then brought some of the more promi- nenC McAuOo men around the council table and told them bluntly that nomi- nation could be reached only by a com promise. But there was no formal sur render on either side. The olive branch had been offered and not declined, but the McAdoo and Smith managers had passed the word along that while the negotiations continued the opposing forces would stand under arms, ready to return to the fray when the conven- tion reconvenes on Monday if the best efforts of the cooler heads of the party should be without avail.
 Take No Chances
 Hopeful as they were that the out come would be an agreement, the man. agers were taking no chances. The

was the report of one of the important figures after the conference. N
 It was reported tn, National Com mitteeman Mack of New York left the conference several minutes before the doors of the room were opened. He was followed in a very few minutes by Ma yor Hague of Jersey City, Silzer packer.
 Those who represented the interests of David F. Houston in the meeting in. dicated they were prepared to continue their participation in the conference tomorrow afternoon.
 Kremer, who has been active in the McAdoo campaign and is vice chairman of the national committee, left the room in apparent good spirits, exchanging more than conventional p!casantries on the way out with Brennan, generalissimo of the anti-McAdoo forces.
 'In five more years you will be the headliner of the American orators" Kremer said, placing both arms on his rivals elbows and talking at close range.
 You. underestimate him." by stander offered. Give him four years and he'll be the candidate"
 During the first hour of the con- ference talk centered largely around proposals for abrogation of both the unit rule and the two-thirds rule, but the majority opinion was that it would not be quite fair to change the rules of the convention at this stage of pro- ceedings.
 The discussion then swung to the question of the elimination of candi- dates. Spokesmen for the minority" candidates took the position that a solution could be reached if the two leanding candidates would withdraw. This brought immediate objection from both the McAdoo and Smith groups who voiced the opinion that if the minority" candidates would eliminate themselves the convention co give expression to its real entiments.
 Matter Dropped
 At no. time was any, offer made by any of the candidates to retire from the field and after a very general dis cussion of this proposition the matter was dropped.
 It was then that agreement was reached that the representatives of the minority" candidates should hold a joint conference in the early afternoon tomorrow to formulat2 some plan by which in their judgment the deadlock might be broken.
 Further agreement was reached that both the McAdoo and Smith managers should hold separate meetings for the drafting of proposals embodying their ideas of how the convention might be led out of it's difficulties.
 The plans arrived at by these three groups will be submitted to the gen. eral conference late in the afternoon.
 Chairman Hull, after the conferees had disbanded, made this supplemental statement to newspaper men:
 This was a preliminary conference, which we agreed should be of a confi-

DRY LEAGUE GAINS :. COURT REVERSAL
Not Required To File Election Account In New: York

ALBANY, N.. F., July 5. = The court of appeals today reversed lower court order requiring the Anti-Saloon League of New York state to file a statement as a political committee of expenditures in connection with the election of 1920. It was held, how ever, that there was evidence sustain ing the finding that the league had ex- pended money ct influenc oleections. The opinion written by Judge His cock, emphasized that the decision does not relieve the league from supervision or regulation in respect to such expen- ditures.
 .There are other sections of the cleo ton law,'' the opinion stated, "other than those under which this proceeding was brought which would require a corporation permitting the making of po- litical expenditures to fil estatements thereof"
 Those responsible for the prosecution of the action against the league were quoted as interpreting the decision as meaning that had the action been brought under other sections of the state election law it would have been upheld.

cock resolution but mustered only 496 votes for, while the opposition boiled 5s9. TWo-thirds would have been re- quired for adoption.
 A. Fl. Ferguson of Durant, Okla, then proposed that the convention ad- iourn and reconvene July 21 in Kan sas City. Many of the McAdoo work CTS who have complained of the treat ment of their candidate by New Workers in the gallery of the convention hall here. went out to seek adoption of the proposal, but the personal aversion Of the delegates to a plan that would 1n- yolye the min another controversy after this is over, triumphed over all else and the resolution was beaten, 1,OO1 to S2.
 A Third Plan
 A third plan for eliminating the favorite sons and letting the full con vention strength decide between the two high men was laid before the con vention later by Thomas H. Ball of Houston, Tex, another McAdoo dele gate, who proposed that after a cer- tain number of ballots both the unit rule and the two-thirds rule be aban- doned together. His resolution was voted down without a roll call.
 Should the convention run far on into next week without a decision the move for adjournhent to another city may be revived. Mir Bryan has drafted a resolution to move the proceedings to Washington and several other delegates are considering proposals that would permit the convention to hold it's clos ing sessions elsewhere. A precedent for such a step was furnished by the demo- cratic convention of 1860 which after a prolonged deadlock moved from Charleston to Baltimore and found there a solution of its difficulties.
 As To Second Place
 Should the conference which. began tonight, facing an all night session, result in an agreementPon presiden- tial candidate, it is possible that it will carry with it an understanding as to second place.
 Active consideration has been given in all compromise proposals hereto fore to the selection of a complete ticket, properly balanced from the view point of probable support, and several of these who went into the conference tonight took with them several tenta- lively arranged combinations for presi- dent and vice president that they be- lieved might appeal to the convention as a whole.
 Although only the candidates placed formally in nomination before the con. vention were invited to send represen' tatiye to the conference it was made clear the Efield of possibilities would not be confined to this or any other | group, nor circumscribed by any nmi. , tation based on the respective strenstl

Convention Once-O Overs

ously as it. is possible to spend weeks there without any clothes to speak of. Alaska, the Philippines and Hawaii were offered as suitable place to hold the convention late today by the United States proper, but the officials of these places rejected the proposal and asked protection from further threats of this nature.
 Most of the day! was taken up vast ing time over resolutions expressly drawn up to avoid wasting time. If the convention does not close up Monday it Twill be closed by the sheriff.
 . This is no idle jest. The democratic committee has run short of funds. To- day all but one of the huge Kleig lights were removed from the garden as the committee had no money to pay for them further.
 A truck backed up yesterday and took away. the piano.
 Wagons have been lurking around the garden for three nights trying to take away the chairs.
 The. owner of the 2,500 American flags inside the hall is said to be de- manding. his money or his flags back.

 ;l There was only one delegate asso- ciated with this convention who. was happy tonight. He was Brooklyn man, Mfr. Sherenstein, who was hit on the head by the Walsh gavel when it flew out. of his hand, and knocked him unconscious.
 This man came to his senses for a moment after being felled. He strug- gled to his feet, but collapsed in heap again when the chairman demanded flor what purpose. does the gentleman arise.'' The injured man managed to gasp that he rose to ask unanimous consent to call an ambulance.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July 6-The democratic national convention was closed for re- pairs this afternoon.
 Attempts will be made by. the cain didates and leaders eff any) over Sun day to patch up the darned thing and see what's the matter with the ,cafbure- tor. If they can get it ih working or der by Monday they will do 50.
 The closing was by unanimous con sent, the delegates realizing after ar- other futile day that while love may laugh at deadlockssmith they giggle right back at you.
 It is believed a solution will be found. by nominating all the candidates so far named for the presidency and letting them serve one month each throughout the four; years, if elected. f There were times today when it looked as If Tex Rickard might get his garden back quite abruptly and be al- lowed to 20 ahead with his regular fight and swimming pool business. M
 Most of the morning WAS spent read ing, interpreting and rejecting resolu- tion to take the convention by the neck and drag it out of New York to some more neutral point.
 Kansas City and Pensacola were prominently mentioned as cities upor which it was proposed to inflict the gathering. What these cities have done to deserve any such treatment was not revealed.
 When the motion to shift was put to an aye, ear and nay vote there seemed to be as many ayes and nayes but when the delegates got down to a roll call vote the nays won by a landslide. Pre- sumably upon sober reflection they realized the hotel keepers of New York wouldn't let them move their trunks to any other city until they settled the back bills.
 These bills are now in the nature Of huge indemnity. It may be necessary to issue a new liberty loan to liberate them.
 Not a delegate in the garden had sense enough to propose to move to At lantic City or some other nice, cool place fairly adjacent watering place. This might have been carried unanim-

CONVENTION
 SIDELIGHTS

NEW YORK, July 6.--A departure for settling the ordinary convention rows without having them come to the floor to interrupt business has been in- stituted by Chairman Walsh, who is holding daily court in a room under the platform with the aid of Representa- tive Clarence Cannon of Missouri, the convention parliamentarian.
 In this courtroom numerous contro- versies over the unit rule in delegations and contests involving alternates have been disposed of quickly and easfiy Such contests, when brought to the floor, are among the things that make life hard for the chairman of a con- vention, but they seem to dwindle when considered behind the scenes.-
 "My idea of inertia and incidence in- carnate," said a floor manager, hastily elbowing his way through a throng in the garden basement, ''is a fellow who comes to democratic national con- vention and then sits in the cellar to get the returns by radio" ~E
 A territorial delegate, who had ob- served his first Fourth of July in main- land by absenting himself from the con- vention hall day, culled from his ex- periences a suggestion which hs prof fered as certain key to the history making deadlock.
 "We're through the seventieth bal lot, do you sayT' the patriot inquired of an impromptu gathering on Fifth avenue several hours after adjourn ment. Well, I'll tell you the way it looks to me. TheSu go right on to-' morrow to the seventy-fifth, and then they'll nominate with the spirit of '76." . Of fifteen invocations with which the convention sessions have been opened, three of the clergymen have been Lutheans, two Catholics, two Jewish, two Episcopalian, two Baptist, one Presbyterian, one Christian Scientist, one Methodist and one non-sectarian.
 Illustrating the wear and tear on nerves from the monotony on ballotinss politician tried to induce a delegate to wear his badge. The delegate promptly invited the sergeant to put him out and gained immediate moral support from a small colleague in a let's everybody fight mood who de-i manded that the big fellow "try to put us all out" The sergeant grumb1ed and moved away, but soon the clerk, safe on the speakers stand, announced that all delegates were requested to wear their badges.

COM MMUNISTS FIND NO FAVOR
 AT CLEVELAND
Are Kept Entirely Out Of Convention Records Of
 Progressives

CLEVELAND, July 5.-(By- the As sociated Press. s.)-Communistic activitie, appeared from several angles during the session today of the conference oi progressive political action, but in ev, cry instance the attempt to keep them out of convention records was success ful. i
 The credentials committee began the onslaught when they pointedly refused to award credentials to William Ma. honey of St. Paul. The committee stat. ed that the farmer-labor federation oi Minnesota, whose credentials Mahoney carried, was entitled to representation, but that Mahoney had been instrumen- tai in forming third party of the St Paul convention of June 1T, and was not fit person to be seated as dele gate in this convention. A protest against this action from Delegate R. D Cranier, St. Paul, was uTlavailing. Pre-. viously Cramer had attempted to get the floor on numerous occasions, but could not seldom get the recognition of the chair and when he did, he was invariably sidetracked with counter mo tions.
 .,a Brings Counter Attack
 The decision on Mahoney brought 6 sharp counter attack from the commun, ists when the workers. party of Ameri ca, represented in the galleries by Will liam z. Foster and c. E. Ruthenberg had circulated statement attacking LaFollette and the convention.
 "In an. economic sense this is the most reactionary political convention held this year," the statement said. ''Ths real struggle is between the great cap itaIists and the workers" added the statement. ''The capitalists have cleal program, expressed by the republican and democratic parties. Against this there must be clear-cut workers pro gram for the socialization of industry.
 "This convention stands for an i'm possible program. Y
 ''This- social group never knows what it wants. It never, stands for progress
 ''King Has Spoken"
 'sTo this bewildered group Senator LaFolIette hands down, a decision tc run an independent progressive The king has spoken. The convention must swallow it.
 "The workers party will fight against the attempt of Robert NJ. LaFollettt to lead the workefs-backward."
 The statement was signed by Foster and Ruthenberg.
 Finally, just before the end of the convention, Cramer got the eye of the chairman, who recognized him, but asked that he permit a few announce ments before making any motion. Ora mer agreed, but after the announce ments were made, Representative La Guardia moved. to adjourn and the con vention voted it favorably over Ora. mer's protests that the steam roller was working. He stated that he wanted to offer a resolution to recognize soviet Russia.

boiled by the respective aspirants under the unusual conditions of the present convention.
 Besides candidates. like Robinson, RaIston, Glass and Davis, who have received substantial totals at one stage of the balloting or. another the names of men like Ritchie of Maryland and Salisbury of Delaware, whose states have stood solidly behind them from the start, were considered likely to figure in the discussion of first and second place on the ticket.
