DAVIS IS SILENT.
Nothing for Publication is Watchword
 on His oHice Door.

New York. June 25,---rhc nothing for publication" sign was still on the door Of the John W, Davis boom headquarters today, with adherenis Of tho GTest Nlrginian's cause limiting, however at mysterious assurances of ultimate support for their man re- cpived through underground channels
 That particular sector Of Boom Row" has been strangely heavy with silence lately. Possibly its captains have overheard the same criticism from experienced political generals that have been available to others, oontonding that the Davis boom was set going too soon. At any rate, the Dayia squad leaders were working in ambush and waiting for opportunity to permit raids into surrounding ter- ritory for votes after the smoke of the r.ain McAdoo-Smith engagement had cleared away.

HARRISON INJURIES
 M'ADOO'S CHANCES
Reference to Oil Is Considered Harmful to Former Secretary
Special to the HeraId.D

New York. June 25.--Pat Harrison did some harm to the McAdoo boom TOW rolling it's Way until the day Of the ballot when he made his keynote speech at the opening Of the demo- cratic national convention in the Gar den. Democracy will have 10 be very Inconsistent if. after wildly cheering clever thrusts at the oil industry and its fingers in lhe political pie. if 1t chooses for it's standard bearer one who has connection with that interest, however remote the connection may be. Public opinion rightly or wrong ly connects the Californian with the oil scandals and if it works out that most of the campaign thunder is di- rected at the error of official republi- cans, as 1t probably will he, McAdoo Will be a poor man tb lead the as- sault upon the G. Q. r. While any thing may still happen,-this IS democratic ConFcntiou--u appears quite possible that some at least, Of McAdeo's promised delegates will easily turn from him after ballot or so because of the growing conNic- tiun that Pat Harrison'G words may truly indicate the thoughts Of many Independent Hoters-and the beliet that McAdoo may be regarded as d member of the oil clique
 The convention, on is opening day. gave promise of being somewhat sim iur in several respects to the famous Baltimore affair of 1912. Twas a long hot siege. that session; twill he another one this. Sweating delegates then filled the chairs and bitterly fought for their fayoritc', Underwood and Clarke being leaders in the bal loting until ", J. Bryan took d hand, eliminated both Of them wi reso- lution that no democratic convention could refuse and virtually obtained the nomination for Woodrow Wilson.
 Underwood fought through many ballots for the romination, eventually both being defeated by Wilson.
 Delegates. who were sleeping when and where they could for few hours daily, perspired profrsely in their shirt sleeves longing Tor a decision, al tho same time hanging grimly to thdr choices until the final result be- came obvious and d rush was made io get on the Wilson haud-Wagom.

TO DISCUSS MERGER
Combine of United Textile Workers and Federated Organization Will Be Taken Up At Convention.

New Bedford, Mass, June 25.-The proposed merger of the United Textile Workers of America with the feder- ated textile workers will be discussed at the ninth annual contention of the American Federation of Textile Oper- atives, which opened it's four day ses- sion here today. The federation is affiliated with the federated textile workers.
 Steps for conservative policy for the improvement of conditions in the textile industry will also be consider ed by the so delegates present.
 President James T. Ansey of Fall River si1i in his annual report that serious business depression was being caused in the industry by over-pro- duction due to an excess number of working hours. He advocated the passage of a federal forty-eight hour law similar to that now in force in Massachusetts.

NADOO FORCES IN
 NEW YORK HUSTLING
His Scouts Are Keeping Close
 Tabs on Activities

New York, June 25.-McAdoo Headquarters hummed today wxh ac- tivity.
 Mir. McAdoo and his managers con- tinued to express optimism with re- gard to strength he will poll when Lalloting begins, but it was admitted tLat disturbing reports had been brought in by some workers of ln- creased activity on the part of politi- cal foes to alienate the support of delegates, particularly those from western states.
 In the face of these reports, how ever, the McAdoo campaign managers were emphatic in the declaration that they were holding their own In all delegations and were confident Of gaining strength here and there.
 As on yesterday Mir. McAdoo re- mained away from the convention kall. In his hotel suite conferences were held in rapid-fire order with various political advisers and dele gates were received for a word Of greeting.
 Although their candidates was ab- sent from the convention floor the McAdoo managers were at Madison Square Garden when the convention opened again to watch developments and keep their lines intact. They were in constant touch with thelr chief by telephone.

We cannot say whether this forecasts the adoption of dry plank in the platform of whether it is due to the zoalcuzness and efficiency Of federal officers in the new times.
