WOMEN AT CONVENTION

NEW YORK. July 4.-The Demo-
cratic convention was disappointed
Thursday. Two women openly
clashed on the floor Of Madison Square
Garden, and no hair was pulled, no
bystanders were stabbed with hat
pins.
But the incident, a battle between
Genevieve Clark Thompson. daughter
of the late Champ Clark. and Mrs.
Antoinette Funk of Washington and
Chicago, lawyer and prominent poll
tician, was as worldly acrimonious as
the crowd could demand.
Mrs. Thompson has been doing her
effective best to indicate to doubtful
members of every delegation that
William Gibbs McAdoo is not the best
candidate for the party. Mrs. Thomp-
sons feeling against the former Sec
retary of the Treasury is doubtless
seasoned with bitterness over her
fathers defeat in 1912.
Mrs. Funk is one of the most active
and influential workers among the
McAdoo. forces. Incidentally, both
women are the warmest Of personal
friends.
Yesterday occurred the first clash
between the women of the warning
factions.
Il have come to tell the women Of
the Louisiana delegation that the ru-
NOR circulated that McAdoo will be
indicted is untrue" said Mrs. Funk
before Mrs. Thompson's own delega-
ton.
Il did not circulate a rumor. re-
peated the statement issued by Sem
ator Jim Reed in his newspaper this
morning" Mrs Thompson responded.
Then George Hurley, assistant at
torney general of Rhode Island, sprang
to Mrs. Thompson's defense on the
legal issue raised by Reed.
Il am as good lawyer as you are"
cried Mrs. Funk, land 1 challenge you
to a debate on the subject with some
as judges"
But Hurley did not pick up the
glove. He considered the legal points
obvious, and explained.
More heated discussion ensued, and
Mrs. Funk moved on to spread her
antidote for the Thompson poison.
together with Margaret Wilson who
had paused to hear the argument, and
other prominent McAdoo women
In the meantime Mrs. Thompson
does her stuff.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Although
Senator Ralston's vote rose to almost
a hundred and then dropped back
under 40 in the convention session
closing early this morning. Thomas
Taggart said he was not discouraged.

for the Mississippi shift. The Mis-
siSsippians wanted to go to Ralston
quickly during the morning, so Tag
CART consented. Then came Missouri
in a block, and scattering votes from
other states followed.
McAdoo workers found Taggart
quite willing to release votes when
they wanted them. The Indiana leader
also sent word to the Smith states
which had been giving him votes to
stop whenever they choose. All of
which was in keeping with Taggart's
plan to offend nobody with Ralston's
candidacy.
After the Ralston furry stopped
Taggart went to his hotel to remain
while other leaders fumed about
breaking the deadlock. His plan con-

he saw no reason to discuss any
other solution.

Fate alone appears to have foreseen
the extent of the Democratic dead
lock Of the presidential nomination.
A Mothers Democratic Club was
formed two weeks ago in the New
York Nursery and Children's Hos
pital. and platform was adopted
pledging the members to give the
first boy born to one of them the
name of the prospective Democratic
nominee. No nominee, of course, has
been chosen, but-and here fate seems
to be holding the celebrated scales Of
justice with uncommon steadiness-
neither has a boy been born out of
eighteen births recorded since the
club was formed and the convention
began. This also established the hos
pitaIs continuity record for girl
babies.

ANIM0SITIES GROWING,
STRONG LEADER LACKING
IN new YORK CONVENTION
Continued from First Page.)

Of the Democratic party in this
ture to analyze the motives behind
the actions of men, but in this case
they seem reasonably obvious. In
the case of Mr.. McAdoo, it would
pride: He had wonderful come
back" from his slump at the time of

that he has the larger number Of votes
actual votes, supporting his candi-
! dacy, although up to the close last
night he had not been able to pro-
duce a majority. which might be
the requisite two-thirds.
With Gov. Smith it might be said
that superimposed upon his claim
that he should have the right of way
because he thinks he is the only can
didate who could deliver the east to
the Democratic party over President
Coolidge, is resentment against the
suggestion that religious discrimina-
tion, clothed in the white garb of
the klan, should debar him from as
piring to the presidency CT the United
States.
Claims Of Smith Camp.
The Smith forces, aside from the
religious question involved, have one
claim that he could carry New York,
New Jersey. Connecticut, Massachu-
setts and the remainder of New Eng
land. Many candid politicians are
willing to admit that he could.
But in that convention are thought
full delegates, with a knowledge of
conditions in the territory wes. of the
Hudson River. an area which it is
to underestimate in Importance and
influence, who are convinced that
Gov. Smith has handicap in being
both d Catholic and d recognized
wet"
The viewpoint of these cautious
Democrats is that the assets of Gov.
Smith, in his assumption that he
could beat President Coolidge in the
desirable eastern states, is offset by
the probability that he would lose
to the Democratic ticket the bulk of
all that western territory.
Getting away for moment from
the chaotic situation existing this
morning in the situation obtaining
in the convention, it is in order to
take a glimpse westward where the
La Toilette combination is expected
to function today.
Pay No Heed to Cleveland.
So far as 1 can ascertain, ruling
spirits in the Democratic convention
are not disposed to pay much atten-
tion to the Cleveland meeting of as
sociated independents.
They have troubles of their own,
very immediate and very acute. At
that, however, the most discerning
among them have for several weeks
been discounting the Cleveland meet
ing, feeling that the outcome-that is
to say, Senator La Toilette heading
third ticket-waS inevitable, and
that they might as well go ahead
with their own Democratic game, roll
as it might, regardless of Senator La
Follette's plans.
Obviously, the Democrats cannot
begin to assay and assess the poten-
tialities of the La Toilette great ad-
venture until they have their own
foundation laid, which up to this writ
ing they have not.
Republicans in New York-and I've
talked with several important lead
ers-are watching gloatingly the pre-
dicament of the Democrats. They are
agreed that all this friction among
the Democrats is water over the Re-
publican mill wheel for next Novem-
