McAdoo and Smith Still Lead,
With Davis, RaIstoh, and
Others Trailing

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Mc-
Adoo and Smith setting the pace
that few believe they can main
tain; Davis and Ralston canter-
ing easily and under wraps; and
behind this quartet a score of
others finding the going more or
less rough and beginning to blow.
This was the Democratic ma
tional convention situation this
morning when the delegates as
sembled in historic Madison
Square Garden for their fifth
session with nothing to work on
save the candidates.
No Platform to Chew On.
They had expected to bite into
the platform today. They had been
promised 1t last night after four
long days of drenching oratory and
nerve-disturbing demonstration and
noise. But the tired, bleary-eyed
carpenters decided before the first
delegate was awake this morning
that it could not be done: 90 they
to its own devices for today.
Ready to Ballot.
Loud and long were the lamenta-
tons that went up when the dele
gates found this morning they had
no platform to chew on. There was
talk of sending an "ultimatum" to
platform builders to the effect IL
they couldn't write a declaration
Of party principles the convention
itself could, but In the end they
trooped to the Garden prepared to
go ahead with the balloting and
give the resolutions committee an
other chance to find a way out Of
the Ku Klux Khan mess 1t has got
itself into.
The anti-McAdoo coalition, com.
prising the Smith. Underwood follow
ing and that of a half dozen or 30
other candidates, was good and sore.
Through four hectic days they have
fought increasingly against the con.
vention doing any balloting at all in
advance Of the adoption of q plat
form containing denunciation of the
khan by name.
On the other hand, the McAdoo
leaders have been willing, even anx-
ious, to shoot ahead with the ballot.
ing with all possible speed, leaving
the platform to be adopted later.
Underneath their exterior of conf
dence, they are fully aware Of the
fact that Mr.. McAdoo's chances are
not getting any better as the conVen-
ton grows older.
The McAdoo handlers even went
so far in this direction as to propose
to their adversaries that the conven.

keep it entirely out of the platform,
and then let the nominee, whoever
he is, state his own position on the
issue. This was promptly turned
down by the coalition. whose leaders
are determined to make McAdoo run

places where he is strongest.

Resolutions Committee Adj
iourns After Vain Effort to
Reach Agreement
By KENNETH CLARK,
International News Service.


NEW YORK, June 2S.-The
Democratic party was locked in q
death grappie over the Ku Klux
Khan issue today after night Of
angry but unrewarded fighting
among the leaders Of its resolu-
tions committee had failed to
break the innpasse which has tied
the hands Of the platform builders
for four days.
From soon after midnight until
long after dawn the committee
jumped from the anti-Klan frying
pan into the Khan fire, then back
into the frying pan in the end
and adjourned until 1880 o'clock
this afternoon without having
reached a semblance of agree
ment. The sentiment of the COM
mittee was expressed best by VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, when, in
explaining to the committee be-
hind closed doors that the Khan
fight was one between Protestant
and Catholic, he said:
eve may touch spark here
which may spread conflagration
throughout the world"
Outright Naming Issue.
The issue was whether or not to
denounce the Ku Klux Khan by
name or whether the party should
pledge itself to rid the country of
unnamed secret organizations mimi
cal to freedom of religious and pc.
litical expression.
A majority group led by Southern
Democrats opposed naming the
Khan, feeling that to do so would
throw the border States into tho
Republican fold IN the November
election. A small but determined
minority faction, headed by Sena.
tor David I. Walsh of Massachu-
sett, demanded that the hooded
realm be stamped with its own
K. X. Il.
Every other plank in the plat.
form was completed by the commit
tee, including the perplexing one
pm the League of Nations, over
which spirited fight had waged
since Tuesday. The league plank
was q compromise of several plans
and satisfied everybody except New
ton D. Baker. formerly Secretary
Of War. who threatened to carry
. minority fight 10 the floor Of the
convention demanding immediate
entry OF the United States, in the
Geneva tribunal.
Sympathy Expression.
The committees plank expressed
sympathy with the league as an
organization to prevent war, but
pledged the party to take no action

Under the spell of Cummings'
dramatic story and appeal, the
rumbling disapproval of the dele.
gates melted away, and on the
vote there was not a dissenting
voice raised against the extension
OF time for which the tired plat.
form-builder pleaded.
But while the convention una1.
imously agreed to give the connrnit.
tee further time, there was mo-
lessening of the resolution on the
part OF the anti-klan people to In
sist upon denunciation Of the
khan in the party platform.
