No word against the Wisconsin
Senator has been heard from any
of the delegates since his message
to the delegates yesterday in which
he agreed to lead the progressive
element gathered here, and the
resolutions committee of the conven'
ton openly announced that it was
taking LaFollette's platform, rejec-
ted by the Republican onvention, as

Madison Square Garden, New York.
July 5.-(By the A. P.)-Still OBJ
durate to peace proposals the Demo-
cratic convention struggled on with
its nomination deadlock today with
out material change in the standings
of the leaders.
Under the surface the forces of
disintegration and compromise were
at work, but they were making but
little progress. Overnight confer
ences among the leaders appeared to
have gone for nothing.
Like two fighters in the ring.
wearied almosts to the point of ex-
haustion and crumpled into a state
OF blind and dogged resistance after
more than 20 rounds, the Smith and
McAdoo forces went on with their
ballot before an audience that long
since had become tired and restless.
If either had a real punch left it
was reserved carefully for the su-
preme moment that each side seemed
to think was somewhat in the lnde-
finite future. .u
Reject Custer Rule
After two ballots this morni ~.
the convention received and prompt
ly rejected proposal that thereafter
the favorite son given the low vote
be dropped on each succeeding ballot
until only two candidates remain in
the field. The plan was interpreted
by many of the Smith and McAdoo
delegates as in reality move to
eliminate the two leaders and was
voted down without a roll call.
Unanimous consent first was
sought for consideration Of the reso-
luton but it was refused by George
E. Bremen of Illinois. The McAdoo
and Smith people seemed to believe
that if the favorite sons were elim-
mated, one after another, and the
two-third rule remained in effect, the
time would come when Mr.. McAdoo
and Gov. Smith would face each
other alone with each side unable
to lock up more than u third of the
total convention strength and thus
veto any nomination. Then, they
argued, both the leaders would have
to get out and let the convention
have new deal all around.
The efforts to eliminate the favor
ite sons by formal resolution was
renewed in different form by former
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who
presented resolution providing that
after the 18th ballot, the low man
on each ballot should withdraw. The
process. OF elimination would 90 on
under the Hitchcock resolution until
five candidates remained in the
field. The resolution was defeated
on a roll call.
Delegates Tired
AS the sing-song of the roll calls
succeeded one another today, the
delegates literally seemed to be in
daze over it all. Responses to the
call of the tally sheet were shouted
back in weary monotones. ,ss
The convention seemed to be pre.
ceeding wholly by force Of habit.
This state Of affairs led some of
the wisest of the party chiefs to pre-
dict that any serious sffort toward
compromise must be DELAYED at
least for over Sunday conferences.
"The delegates all are tired out
today and in no frame of mind for
sensible reasoning" said one of the
leaders. "A little rest and a Sab
bath of reflection will do them good.
We are not pressing them"
