When the balloting had gotten half

states the figures were running
along almost the same as those of
the ballot previous Some Of the big
| single first choice and second
choice after that. still were dividing
their votes among the Held, giving
each Of the two leaders some, OF
course. Obviously, the play was for
| time on both sides. a wearing-dow n
process, which the leaders took ad =
vantage of to hold conferences inside
and outside of the hall. Some of them

show any signs of impatience

Traces of Struggle Remain
| Lingering traces remained, as the
delegates assembled today. of the
emotional struggle under which they
| labored for hours Saturday night and
! early Sunday before the platform
was finally declared adopted annie
scenes of almost incredible chaos. The
day of rest and recreation had healed
| many OF the scars of conflict. how
| ever. and they were ready for the
| new struggle.
Talk OF reopening the Khan issue
through motion for reconsidera ton
| of the platform was heard from time
to time yesterday, but steadily lost
| weight when 1t was found that none
/ of the leaders on either side was
| willing to commit himself to such a
| course.
All Sides Satisfied.
Supporters of the general religious
liberty plank expressed themselves
as being satisfied. and proponents
! oil the minority proposal specifically
| denouncing the Khan said they weulc
not challenge the decision. The bat
! tie over, all insisted the party was
i once more united and that, despite
| the bitterness which had wracket
| the convention for four and a hall
| hours, no permanent religious issue
| had developed.
Although most of the delegates
| listed under the McAdoo banner
| voted against denouncing the klar
| by name, and those known to favor
| Smith supported the specific deciara
| ton, the managers of both candidates
| declared instructions had gone
| out from headquarters during the
| fight beyond advice to the supporters
to vote their own convictions.
