KENYON PUT FORTH
 BY 1s FARM STATES

WASHINGTON, June i2.--'T am not going to accept tho nomination for viee.nresident," Senator Borah de- cIared here early today after being in. formed that Republican leaders at Cleveland had agreed on him for the nomination.
 CLEVELAND, June 12.-(By Associated Press. )-1Senator Borah of Idaho was agreed upon by ad- ministration leaders here early this morning for the vice presidential nomination.
 Word came from Washington that the Idaho senator would be satis- factory to President Coolidge, and the conferees agreed to recommend his nomination to their delegations.
 Present at the conference repre- senting their state delegations were Senator Wadsworth of New York, Secretary Mellon and Senators Reed. and Pepper of PenHsylyania ; Bascom SIemp, aecrstarx lo fne President; Charles 1l Aiiies and Theodore Roosevelt of New York, and William M. Butler of Massa- chueetts, President Coolidge's cam pAien manager, and Frank B, Stearns of Boston, his friend and adviser.
 So great was the weight of influ- ence thrown behind the Idaho senator as a result of the conference that most of the party leaders were inclined to regard his selection ds virtually as. sured.
 At the conclusion of the conference, Mir. Butler hurried to a meeting of the committees representa- delegations of 13 western states to communicate to them the decision of the first con- ference.
 From the start of the convention Sem ator Borah has been listed as one of those most favored by party leaders, but he has steadfastiy declined to be- come an active candidate and the i'm. pression had been general among the delegates that he would not accept even if nominated.
 Had Turned To Good
 In their search the leaders had turned earlier in the evening to James ". Good of Iowa, and after his boom ha7d begun to slump as a result of consultation with various state leaders, pronounced swing was started to Senator Curtis of Kansas. Failing, too, to get for Senator Curtis the unanimous support that was regarded as requisite for the admin (COntinued on Page TwO.)

 The chorus of noes from the Wisconsin section whe nthe ques- ton was put on the adoption were almost lost in the great convention hall which had not finished rever- berating from tornado of ayes.
 Charles B. Warren, chairman of the resolutions committee, read the plat form as it finally was approved and moved it's adoption. Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin, presented the LaFollette platform and spoke in its support. Mir. Warren made no ex- tended argument against the LaFollette blanks, merely reminding the conven- tion that the platform as brought in from the committee had been approved by every member except the member
  tees action might be considered a fair cross section of the sentiment of the convention.
 Nominations Due Today
 The platform out of the way in rec ord time, the convention adjourned un- til tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to take up nominations for President and Vice President.
 Sharp opposition to several blanks of the platform, worked out by leaders at their all-night conference, developed today at the final meeting of the resolu- ton committee. As a result, one plank was rewritten and notifications were made in several others.
 The world court, the Ku Klux Klan and the railroad question were the chief fighting points.
 When these had been ironed out aft CT eight hours of deliberation the re- publican insurgents platform was pre- sented for approval, but was rejected after fiery debate by an almost unani- nous vote.
 The world court plank as recom- mended by the drafting committee was approved only after Chairman Warren had given his personal assurance that it had been written by President Cool idge.
 Attempts to alter this provision were made by Senators Watson of Indiana and Harreld of Oklahoma.

 The Ku Klux Klan issue was pre- scented by R. B. Creager. national com mitteeman from Texas, who insisted on unmistakable and vigorous declaration o aoiDet that aN0o uizo f;0p Ho affn,ad a substitute stronger in language than

NEW PRESIDENT
 TO RAISE FLAG
 IN PARIS FRIDAY
Painleve, Although Super stitiOus, Expected To
 Take Office On 18th

PARIS, June 1.-The presidential tri-color today disappeared temporarily from the mast of the Elysee palace when M. Millerand, for nearly four years the chief executive of France, resigned and became a private citizen of the repub- lie.
 Some time between and o'clock Friday, the thirteenth, the colors of a new president, elected by the thirteenth legislature, will be raised to the flag staff of the presidential mansion. The new chief executive will immediately proceed to the formation of a cabinet to succeed the present ministry of IS members. Of the presidential possibili- ties mentioned, Nj. Painleve, president of the Chamber of Deputies, alone is said to be superstitiously inclined. Tonight, however, he is declared to be leading for the presidential post.
 Forced To Resign .
 NJ. Millerand resigned only after ex- hausting every means at his command jority of the left, which finally voted to have nothing to do with any govern ment he headed. In a manifesto issued NAAOA HIS AOGAbhubAOi3 Lhb ACtAEAhB RECo- ident served notice that he intended to remain active in the political affairs of the nation and resume ''the fight for lib- erty for the republic and for France" 7"
 NJ. Painleve, thought now to be the sole avOwed candidate and most likely choice of the coalition of the left at q caucus to be held tomorrow, may have the opposition of many senators and a good many deputies who have declared for NJ. Doumergue, president of the senate.
 To Fight DOumergue
 The leaders of the coalition of the left will endeaNor to choke the Doum- ergue candidacy by invoking party dis cipline and limiting invitations to to. morrow's caucus to those deputies and senators who voted to oust Millerand.
 The caucus thus organized would comprise $40 deputies out of 5S0 and 240 senators out of 311. If all re- spOnded to the invitations, this would leave out 240 deputies and II sena- tors. The majority of full voting strength of congress would be AT. The coalition leaders, consequently, are con- tident that M. Painleve will be nonni- mated by the caucus and will be elected on the first ballot. The voting is secret, however, and discipline less effective.

AUGUST 4 IS SET AS OPENING DATE IN FRANKS TRIAL Crowd Breaks Door To See Confessed Slayers
 At Hearing LOEB ARRAIGNED
 ON 18th BIRTHDAY Plea Of Not Guilty Is En- tered By Sons Of
 MilliOnaires

CHICAGO, June 11.-Before an impetous crowd that broke court room door from its hinges in an ef- fort to see the confessed kidnapers and slayers of 13-year-old Robert Franks, Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb today pleaded not guilty to charges of Kidnapping for ransom and murder and heard Au- gust fixed as the date of their trial.
 The youths apparently were una bashed by the curious hundreds, mostly women. who pushed and scrambled to catch a glimpse of the neatly dressed university students wo have declared they Kidnapped and killed the son of a neighbor to provide excitement.
 Chief Justice John R. Caverly of the criminal court, who will preside at the trial, set July 21 as the time for arguing preliminary motions. States Attorney Grove had asked that the date of trial be set for July 15, the earliest possible date under the law.
 Defense Accepts Date
 The defense attorneys, headed by Clarence Darrow, pleaded that popular excitement has embarrassed their cause, but accepted the trial date set without objection except to stipulate that they will ask for a continuance if unable to prepare for trial by that time. Mir. Darrow's assertion that there is not a person in Chicago who has not read of the case and been influenced by news. paper accounts was taken shy some as an indication that the defense may ask for n. change of venue. i
 Loeb made his appearance in court to answer charges of two crimes, each punishable by death, on his nineteenth birthday. He had planned to sail for Europe today with Leopold. Standing near the boys when they faced the court was brown haired girl who smiled at them repeatedly. They did not glance at her. She is the girl who went to the states attorneys office yester- day and asked to see the boys, but left when asked her name.
 She told an assistant states attor. ney today that she is one of the girls with whom the youths said at first that they went auto riding the night of the staying. The boys alibi was brok- en down by their confession, however, and the state attached little importance to the girls statement.
 Grand Jury Resumes
 The grand jury which may still re- turn a true bill against the youths charging conspiracy to kidnap and mur. der, resumed it's investigation shortly after the boys had been arraigned.
 Dr. James P. Hall, dean of the law school of the University of Chicago, questioned at the states attorneys of- flee, said he knew Leopold quite we'll and that the latter had taken an exam ination for entrance to an eastern law school a few days after the slaying. The examination papers which have been sent to the Eastern institution are desired by the states attorney as further proof that Leopold was sane when the crime was committed.

ROMANCE LACKING
 SAAL TELLS COURT
Both Manufacturer And Artist
 Model Wife Seek Divorce

CHICAGO, June 11.-Rose- -colored romance was lacking when Henry G. Saal, wealthy photograph manufac- turer, wooed pretty Violet Fiel, artists model, Saal testified yesterday at the divorce hearing. Both Saal and Mrs. Violet Fiel Saal are seeking a divorce, she charging cruelty and asked that a pre-nuptial agreement through which she signed away her dover rights to his estate be nullified, and he charging her with indiscretions with Henry T. Roberts, former manager of his phono- graph factory, whom he has sued for $260, 900 damages for alienation of af- factions.
 Instead of romantic duologues in the moonlight, Saal said he and his fianee tossed legal terms at each other in a lawyers office, and instead of flowers, he sent her pre-nuptial contracts to approve while she. hired an expert to estimate his weelth.
