McAdoo-Smith Fight Is Cut

By GEORGE r. HOLMES,
BY International News Service.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
NEW YORK. June 27.-Stripped
down at last to a point where the
rival candidates are beginning to
feel out each others strength by
test votes and parliamentary maneu-
vering, and facing fights in such
number and of such nature as to
make party leaders fearful of No
vember, the Democratic national
convention went into its fourth ses-
sion today with the rumble of con.
flict ever growing louder.
Neither William G. McAdoo nor
Governor AL Smith can extract any
great amount of comfort from the
developments of the last twenty.
four hours.
RalstOn and Davis Aided.
These developments, If they have
proved. anything, have only served
to increase the belief on the part
of observers that neither Smith
nor McAdoo is capable of obtaining
the two-thirds majority in this tu-.

to nominate. And correspondingly,

OF $50 to 513.

over candidates. and platform.
Smith Disappointed.
But while the McAdoo managers
were smarting under this first

forces were inclined to guinness
over the showing the New York
Governor made in the epochal
demonstration that followed the
presentation Of his name to the
convention. The demonstration was
the greatest ever seen in a Demo
