AS the roll call of States proceeded
and neared the end today leaders
were attempting to agree on whether
to begin balloting on candidates at
once or wait until resolutions COM
mittee had agreed on Klan and
League of Nations planks and the
convention had adopted a platform.
A fight on the convention floor
over the Klan was made certain this
afternoon when the subcommittee
voted, 10 to 4, to submit Il plank to
the fun committee denouncing prin-
ciples of the Klan, but not naming
it. The quartetts demanding the
Klan be named will submit a minor
ity report, and the flood gates of de.
bate will then be open.
a floor fight on the league is also
certain. Former Secretary of War
Baker will not consent to any change
indorsed and that the party be
pledged to Americas entrance. The
subcommittee is presenting this
question to the full committee. but

not adopted as it stands he will make
a minority report and take the floor
to fight for his principles.

are still in the making. roll calls may
be started for presidential nomina-
tions.
In either event the first real test
of strength will come between the
McAdoo and Smith factions, although
opportunity for the most vital test
will be afforded when the Klan and
anti-Klan forces mix in discussion Of
the platform.
The McAdoo forces have been
seeking to bring on a situation that
would force the convention TO start
halloung before the platform is re-
ported. They will have to muster
two-thirds majority to bring about
this change in the rules.

committee said 1t was nothing better
than a f1fty-f1fty chance that the re-
port on the platform would be ready
for submission to the committee to-
night.
