convention concurred not only in La- t'ollette's endorsmeent, but also in last weeks conference decision to postpone vice presidential nomination until after the democratic convention. It also pledged itself to cooperate with the conference in the national elections and in such state and local elections as may be endorsed by the smaller units of the socialist party.
 Debs Has Influence
 One of the strong influences in favor of the majority report was a telegram sent by Eugene V. Debs, from rani- tarium in Elmhurst, III. It was ,ex- plained by Mrs. Bertha Hale White, executive secretary, that this message was written after she had sent to the old socialist leader, the full or ganization report adopted. by the con ference.
 T think it wise," said the telegram. " for our party to make no nomina tions under the circumstances, but at the same time, to hold the socialist party intact, adhere rigidly to its principles and keep the red flag flying. The so- cialist party is the, 9arty of the work ing class and faces the future with lb- solute confidence and without fear"
 The Debs sentiment echoed the opinions expressed in the debate by such party leaders as Morris Hillouit. New York; Victor Berger, Wisconsin

| .a4 the House of Representatives" said Mir. Huddleston, "the decision will be made by the House as now constituted
 This means that some twenty or thirty
 progressive republicans and possibly, a few democrats will vote for LaFol- lette." Mir. Huddleston believed that with this condition existing the progressive group would hold the balance of power and could prevent an election altogeth- CT or dictate terms to the successful candidate. MT. Huddleston thought it might result that the House would find itself unable to- agree and that no elee- ton would result. In such an event a vice president elected by the Senate would become President.
 Choose Between Vice Presidents If the FaI.ollette movement should stand third in number of electoral vUtes," MT. Hudd; >ton continued in his analysis of the situation, ''the Sem ate will be forced to choose between Dawes, the republican nominee for vice president and the democratic nominee. Tt may occur from this that the democratic nomination for vice presi- dent is more worth seekings than the lead of the ticket said Mir. Hud, dleston. "The nominee should be of the highest character and most forward looking principles. He must be chosen with the thought of the Norris -Ladd- Brookhart- La Toilette group in the Sen ate"
 'sThe situation at New York is .,reviors to any good democrat or to any friend of the masses" said Mir. Huddleston. Politicians have played game of desperate selfishness. They have staked the good of the party to further their own ambitions. They have probably destroyed the democratic aspects. Their game has apparently been set each element and faction against every other in the hope of some way to win power for themselves out of the melee"
 Mir. Huddleston will remain in Bir- mingham during the summer and has taken a residence at Eleventh avenue, south and Cotton avenue. He has been in Birmingham several days and will leave October for Washington.

 This was loss of 29.5 for McAdoo 7. a loss of 5 for Smith a gain of @ for Ralston; a loss of 6.5 for Davis and n loss of 312 for Glass.
 Further InrOads
 Further inroads were made on the McAdoo strength during the eightv-fifth ballot, reducing, it to a new low record On that ballot, the leaders stood: Me Adoo, SSO.6; Smith, 36S; Ralston. ST :. Davis, 68, and Glass, 67.5. This was loss of 8 for McAdoo and two for Smith. It was a gain of one for Ral- ston and gain of 2 for Davis, and a loss of five for Glass.
 There having been no decision on the eighty-fifth ballot, the clerk went again at the interminablee job of calling the roll This time, he was on the eighty sixth lap, the only calling clerk in the world who ever called an eighty sixth roll call in the demoeratic national con vention.
 Iowa Deserts
 On this ballot Iowa deserted the Me AuOO SOAuAAu anu WE'LL tO D. I. Mere- dith, her favorite son. Unless McAdoo gained from states yet to come he was about to lose his one-third veto power.
 During the Seth ballot Nevada. which had switched from McAdoo to Smith, switched to Governor Ritchie of Maryland.
 Just before adjournment Senator A. A. Jones of New Mexico, under unani- nous consent introduced his resolution, which he asked to have laid on the table until tomorrow, providing for a con- ference of the delegates, comparable to the conference of the representatives of tn candidats Sunday.
 At the conclusion of Senator Jones' statement Chairman Walsh announced to the convention the death of Calvin Coolidge, Jr. A wave of expressions of sympathy and regret swept the floor and galleries as Chairman Walsh sug- gested an adjournment of the conven- tion as a mark of respect and sympathy The convention adjourned until 10 80 tomorrow morning in the greatest quiet and the most perfect order of any time it has been in session.

BOSSES FAILED
 | IN PARTY CRISIS,
 SAYS CARAWAY
Convention Has Become 'sThe Great Embossed"
 Senator Ayers

By THADDEUS H. CARAWAY United States Senator From Arkansas Copyright, 1924, for The Age -Herald)
 NEW YORK, July I've got to- gether yesterday for the purpose of les- tablishing such common grounds as ex- ist between rival camps and we accom- plished fifteen-to-one agreement to release delegates from their pledges. Monday the convention ratified the work of the conferees by formally re- cording itself as considering pledges no longer morally binding. And that is as much as any general conference could hope to do.
 Now the convention has eliminated the man who opposed that plan.
 Up-To.D Delegates
 A nomination now.is is up to the dele gates themselves. The bosses have failed to deliver. It will be. many. years be- fore they can restore among their less organized followers the implicit con- fidence with which they were armed at the beginning of this convention.
 This, indeed, is the convention of the great unbossed. Many rider has scrambled into the saddle in the last two weeks, and without exception they still are brushing the dust from their clothing and not a few are nursing breaks and bruises of more than a minor character.
 a, Taggart, of Indiana, and Kremer, of Montana, Smith and McAdoo men, res pectively, agreed on an unusually early adjournment Monday afternoon. The proposed general conference was sug- gested to follow that adjournment but instead several clique gatherings were convened. s
 Will Not Bind
 Whatever deals are attempted will not bind nor influence the euiancipated delegates who found themselves lead erless and who will not look kindly upon tardy captain.
 The nominatio will go to n man un- marred with sectional brands. Such man is Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas. Robinson's chances are as brght as any and fairly glitter when compared to those of most of the can didates.
 We have had disheartening, dis couraging time, but we will not reap the harvest of hate and dissention fore casted for us. Instead, when the heat dies away some hundreds. of delegates will realize that they have. been jousting at windmills, playing. at swords with trumped-up bogies.

 The convention started off today as usual with:

 There was no change in the voting until Colorado was reached and there McAdoo gained half vote. Smith lost one. Davis lost a half.
 In Florida Smith lost one. In H. linois Smith gained five. and McAdoo was unchanged. McAdoo lost a half vote in Maine.
 Michigan rearranged it's vote entire ly, going back to Ferris with 17 and giving Underwood three It took eight and a.half from McAdoo and five and d half from Smith. Robinson got two from Minnesota.

 TO AVOID TRIAL

WASHINGTON, July 7.--E. L. Do- heny and E. L.sEDoheny, Jr., today filed motions in the district supreme court to uuash the indictments recently return ed against them by the special oil grand jury charging conspiracy and bribery.
 They contended the indictments were invalid because of the presence of n department of justice official in the grand jury room during the taking of festimony. Prosecution of the oil cases, their motions said, was taken out Of the hands of the department by a specia! act of Congress and put in charge of snecial government counsel. Hence they contended the department of jus tice official was illegally present with the jury. Concressman and Mayor Daniel Hoan, Milwaukee.

Cent in Last Two Weeks.

Broadcasting of the returns of the
presidential election in which radio

role benefited the radio dealers of
Washington financially. Representa-
tives of various radio firms report
ed at Il meeting of the Radio Mer
chants Association of Washington
yesterday afternoon at Harveys that
the sales for the two weeks preceding
election day, showed. on the average,
an incrca;e of so per cent over the
corresponding period of last year.
Several dealers reported that the
broadcaSting of election returns had
increased their business at least 100
per cent over the first week in No
vember. 1923, while others said the
gain averaged as high as 20 per cent.
20 per cent increase in business
was the smallest gain reported.

tric Co. outlined the plans for the
observance of international Radio
week, November 23 to 80, and urged
the association to take prominent part
in the pretentious program. The or
