Gravity of

NOW SECONDARY
Managers Firm in
Stand to Fight
to Finish.
BY N. o. MESSENGER,
stan Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, June 28.-The most
dramatic scene in a national con-
Nention which has been witnessed
III any national convention since the
silver Republicans walked out OF
the Republican national convention
OF 1896, was presented today when
Homer 5. Cummings, chairman OF
the convention on resolutions,
graphically told the convention OF
the gravity OF the situation over the
ku klux plank and asked for a re-
cess until 3 O'Clock.
Speech Impressive.
His frank and clear speech made a
profound impression upon the au-
dience. He confirmed the statements
reiterated in these dispatches of the
seriousness-not only to the Demo
cratic party. but to the whole ma
tion-of this religious issue.
An almost prayerful silence fell
over the entire vast audience as he
proceeded and when he told of Will
liam ]. Bryan's making a prayer for
divine guidance for the committee
"in this hour of stress"
The purpose of Mr.. Cummings was
to prepare the conventions mind for
the possible presentation of a com
promise and to quench the fires OF
religious dissension in the convention,
which are growing in intensity.
There were evidences of the gath
erinG clouds as the delegates assem-
bicd this morning. The text of the
denunciatory Klan plank was pub
ished in the morning papers and was
read with deepest interest by the
delegates. Looking down from the
press desks over the faces of the
delegates, evidence can be discerned in
the seriousness of their faces and de-
meanor of their appreciation of the
gravity of the proceedings that are
to follow and realization of the con-
vention consequence that may follow
whatever action is taken by the con-
vention on the Klan plank.
Candidates Subordinated.
For the moment. while intent upon
taking this first hurdle of disposing
of the klan crisis, interest in presi-
Dental candidates is subordinated
There will be many hurdles to take
and some water bitches, too, when
the convention enters upon balloting
on the nominations that have been
made The only hope for the early
selection of nominee lies in the re-
didateS of votes to another candidate,
thereby gaining the credit of having
Influenced the selection. Gov. Smith

is in the fight to a finish, and he, OF
