Brewer while harrington gained in
Brunswick.
According to a statement issued
Friday from Brewster headquarters
at Portland the inspection is being
made in order to be in a position to
ask for a state wide recount, IL that
course should be deemed advis lie.
1t is planned to inspect ballots in
every city and town in the state. 1t
Is believed sufficient information will
be at hand early next week to make
definite decision on a request for q
recount.
1.-THE Committee investigating the
rumors and reports regarding the last
primary election are proceeding as
rapidly as possible with their work
with the coopeation OF everyone con-
cerned," the statement says. :.
"The committee first took up the
places where specific reports as to
errors have been received. It has
been intimated by some of those In
terested that ballots could not be
called to Augusta for rehabilitation
unless there had first been an ins4ec-
ton in the several municipalities
For this reason the committee deem
ed It necessary to have inspection
made in towns all over the State In

advisable.

Davis Followers
Present Name and
Hold Renewed Hope

New York. June 27-The West Vir-
ginia friends of John w. Davis car
ried out today their purpose of plac-
ing his name before the Democratic
national convention for the presidkn-
tial nomination and then were e2ated
tonight with the greeting his name
received.
The West Virginian was last of the
long, long list of nominees to be
named. Despite the fact that the
convention was tired of hours of ora
tory and noisy demonstration, both
Judge John H. Holt of Clarksburg,
who nominated Mr.. Davis, and Mrs.
Izetta Jewell Brown, who seconded the
nomination, received cordial hearings
and the nominee was roundly cheered
by more folks than the loyal group
of West Virginia delegates who led
the demonstration. Mrs. Brown, re-
membered by many of the delegates
present for the woman suffrage ap-
peal she presented at San Francisco
four years ago, was~recalled to the
convention in that role by Senator
Walsh. permanent chairman, when
he introduced her.

Ready for Battle

/
| New York, June 27-After four
days of oratorical flourish and color
full demonstration, the Democratic
national convention is ready for its
| final showdown on nominees and
| policies. In another long and noisy
session today it received in formal
| nomination the names of the last OF
It's 16 presidential candidates and
| was informed that it's platform had
| been completed in committee except
| for the troublesome planks of the Ku
Klux Khan and the League OF Ma
| tions. which must be perfected on the
:. floor at the convention itself.
Meeting an hour earlier than usual
| tomorrow, 1t will fight out its diff
! ferences over the Khan and the
| League and then. probably at a night
session, begin balloting for a nomi-
nee.
The developments of the last few
hours before the test of strength
| showed outwardly no shift OF senti-
| ment on either candidates or plat
, form. McAdoo and Smith still led
the field in the delegate strength
| pledged to them on the first ballot.
and the supporters of John w. Davis.
Ralston, Glass, Richie and several
others claimed victory after the
deadlock had run its course. The
debate over open condemnation of
the Khan went on with growing Bit
terncss, and the extent to which the
party should rcaffirm it's faith in the
League of Nations appeared to be as
much an open question as when the
convention assembled on Tuesday.
The decision to adjourn until tomor-
row was accepted generally as meaning
that the convention must run over into
next week as most of the delegates APP
peared to agree that n drive to wind
up by Saturday night would be futile.
Besides the &c entered formally on
the roll of candidates, three or four
others probably will receive the COM
plimentary votes of their states for the
first ballot or two. distributing .he con-
vention strength so widely that SOW
eral roll calls will be necessary before
the rival managers can completely get
their bearings. These trial votes. to
be taken before final adjournment to-
morrow night, will give the political
captains n working basis for The jock
eying and maneuvering that is expected
over the week end.
The 16 placed in nomination when
the roll closed tust >bs fore adjoutnment
