300 TO ATTEND !. UNITY SESSION
 IN CHAT lNOOGA
Southern Methodist Gen eral Conference To Be
 Assembled July 2

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 29.-(By Associatd Press. )-sWith the special session of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, con vening at Chattanooga, Wednesday. July 2, for consideration and ballot on the unification plan drafted by the joint commission on unification of the northern and southern churches, and ratified almost NnanipOusly by the northern church general conference at Springfield, Mass, every phase of the question that split the church in 1S44 and which has kept the two branches apart in administration although hold ing virtually the same doctrines and policies, is expected to be discussed.
 Bishop Edwin D. Mouzen of Nash vile, chairman of the southern com mission on notification, is one of the members of the college of bishops favoring unificat tion, while Bishop War ren A. Candler of Atlanta, senior bish- op of the college, is strong in his opposition to unification.
 LeagaIity Questioned
 It is said by some that the legality of the called session will be contested on the floor. It also is believed that a resolution probably will be brought forth early in the meeting asking that unification.
 Bishops Candler, Collins, Denny, U. V. w., Darlington and J.. k. Dickey take the position that a called session prior to the round of annual confer ences, which finally must ratify any action taken by the special session, is unconstitutional.
 Several foreign delegates are speed ing to the states to take their places in the conference the call of which was issued by the College of Bishops, May 20.
 500 Delegates Expected
 Five hundred or more delegates will attend, it is estimated.
 While the question of slavery was the original cause of dissension in the Methodist church, the specific cause of the separation was constitutional, leaders of Southern Methodists assert. A conflict arose between the civil laws and ecclesiastical rulings.
 Until 17S0, when the general confer ence of the church met at Baltimore, there had been no conference action on the question of slavery At that time the first official action was taken. dis approving slave holding and in 17S4 the most rigid laws were passed by the church bearing upon this subject.
 Following the Baltimore conference a tone of moderation marked succeed ing conferences until the limit of con sessions to the views of the south ern delegates was declared reached,

FORTY BALLOTS ARE PREDICTED BEFORE BREAK Groorners Of Dark Horses See Long McAdoo-
 Smith Fight
CANDIDATES BUSY
 LINING UP FORCES
Both Leading Contenders Claim Gain In Action
 On KIan Plank

NEW YORK, June 2s.-on tn, eve of balloting in the democratic national convention, leading candi dates were busy tonight concentratT l ing their positions and issuing pro nouncennents of their confidence ir the outcome.
 Meantime, those seeking the nom. l ination but admittedly without any 1 thing like the numerical strength on the first ballots that will be mus. tered by either Wm. G. McAdoo oi Alfred E. Smith, were continuing their quiet campaigns and laying plans against the time when, they predicted, there would be a break away from both the former treas ury secretary and the New York governor.
 Wherever leaders or delegates con. gregated today there was discussion of the possible effect upon the fortunes of this candidate or that resulting from actipn of the convention early today in rejeetin& the anki-klan plank Both the McAaoo and Smith managers con tended that the result, if anything, strengthened their positions, but other candidates or, their managers were in disagreement with that view.
 Dark H0rso Talk Grpws
 With baIloting only few hours away theSe was more than the usual crop of dark h0fees talk Lenders grooming such horses expressed the opinion tonight that 10 ballots would he taken before tlle Smith atid AfcAdoo forces tF0li is to A comp pennAise caididake;
 Those interested in the candidacy Of Senator Samuel Ralston, Indiana, heard that in the event of Smith McAdoo deadlock the adherents of these two candidates would swing their votes to John W. Davis of West Virginia. It also was stated that either Governor Charles Bryan of Nebraska OF Cover nor Jonathan NJ. Davis of Kansas would be second on such a compromise ticket.
 Some of the Ralston supporters, how ever, suggested a Ralston-H Homer S. Cummings or a Ralston.Governor Sil- ger ticket to offset such a nomination, but Thomas Taggart, the Indiana lead CT, who is backing Senator Ralston against the field, has agreed to neither 50 far as has been made known. Both McAdoo and Governor Smith held if nal conferences with their chief lieu tenants today for discussion of the open ing phase of the battle of ballots. Mo Adoo spent much of the day quietly in his suite in an uptown hotel, but in the afternoon he visited William Jen- nings Bryan and tonight he addressed a rally of the delegates who are counted in his column.
 Claim 400 For McAdOO
 Predicting that McAdoo would re- ceive mot less than 400 votes on the first ballot" David Ladd Rockwell. his campaign manager, declared Me Adoo would make gradual gains until he would receive a majority of the convention on the fifth or sixth bal lots.
 We will hold that majority" he added, land the delegates, most of whom are in no temper for long drawn out fight; will realize that a minority can not block the will of the majority. Then they will start to jump on the Me Adoo bandwagon."

Declares Democrats In Panic
 Over Religious Issue

CHICAGO, June 29.-Former Sena. tor J. Hamilton Lewis, who returned to Chicago from the democratic nation al convention in New York to plead case, referred today to the demo- cratic convention as "mob ruled to the extent the republican convention at Cleveland was boss-ruled."
 Democrats at the convention" he said. "are being driven into panic on the question whether the citizens should worship God according to the dictates of conscience or of politics.
 Referring to himself as a candidate for the vice presidency, Mir. Lewis said ::
 "The states putting me forward do so because the republican candidate, General Dawes. is from Chicago For this reason think Mayor Dever or ex- Mayor Harrison would be ideal. I am not candidate-I do not want the place"

NEW YORK. June 29.-Worn by five days of convention sessions and nerves on edge from the bedlam of noise within the convention hall, hun dreds of delegates to the democratic convention today welcomed "a day off and took advantage of entertainment features arranged by the New York committee.
 One group, with Mayor Hylan as host, went to Coney Island and spent the day amid the world famous hot dog stands, giant coasters and other amusement features. The trip was made on a municipal ferry boat and the New York mayor personally conducted his guests around about the resorts amusement places.
 The other group, composed of the more staid delegates, alternates and their families, boarded a Hudson river steamer and viewed the scenery of the Hudson-Bear Mountain, Storm King and Tappan Zee, and finally reached West Point, where the militay academy cadets staged a drill for the visitors.

 Troops Keep Order
 Despite the devastation at Lorain, where the tornado tore down a quarter Af off fl, went forward smoothly and state troops kept order among the inhabit- ants, hundreds of whom were thrown out of their homes and had to be sheltered in tents and with friends,
 The greatest loss of life was in the State theatre in L.orain, which col lapeed and many of the occupants were killed ct one time. As soon as rescue work was organized last night, survey Of the situation led to the deduction that many scores had been killed, for buildings had been whipped down over the heads of several fairly large as- semblaees. At q bathing beach house the structure was torn to pieces and it was announced that dozens had lost their lives at this place. @
 Factory Workers Escape
 investigation today when light per. Initted search of the ruins showed that probably every one at the beach escaped with his life. The fact that the tornado struck both Sandusky and Lorain while factories were emptied on account of the Saturday afternoon hoIi, day probably reduced the death total by hundreds, for several manufaeturins plants were torn down only a few
