 MeAdoo's letter as read was the
 same as previously published except
 that it contained the phrase, "any
 plan for breaking this deadlock which
 does not accomplish the purpose will
 dissppoint the expectations of the

 The McAdoo proposal was rejected the report said. although some of the representatives Of the iS expressed willingness to assent to some features of 1t.

Baker and William Jennings Bryan both claimed recognition Of the chair. Senator Walsh ordered Kremer's mo- ton read again for the clear informa- tion of the delegates. Then the chair recognized Mir.

 NfcAdoo Gains Here
 The breaks in the Virginia and west Virginia delegations on the 18th ballot where McAdoo got some votes for the first time gave the McAdoo people on the floor chance for some cheering.
 In North Carolina McAdoo lost A two and a half; Underwood gained it., John W. Davis gained one also.
 resolution was offered by former Governor Gilchrist of Florida It pro- posed that the rules be suspended for the adoption of resolution which in turn would adopt the proposals em- bodied in the report of the conferees on the over Sunday negotiations.
 The proceedings were held up for a moment while McAdoo leaders con- ferred on the platform. A delegate wanted the resolution read again but 1t developed the official stenographer had disappeared with 1t. The read | ing was postponed until the end of the next ballot. a The call of the roll then went on k for the seventy-ninth time.
 The roll call developed little but t a challenge of thevote of the Canal a Zone which had been voting for Me- " Adoo under a unit rule. T On the poll three of the Panama Canal delegates cast their votes for McAdoo and three for Smith. The n challenge contended that there was D no unit rule imposed by the home con- b rention and that the delegates should n be permitted to vote their convictions. Q The chair had ruled that week that the Ii delegation was voting as a unit. q F. M. Robinson of Ancon was given P to address the convention. lo Robinson argued that the delegates gi were bound to vote for McAdoo. tf Chairman Walsh reversed his previous h' uling and ordered the Canal Zone bi 'cte record three for McAdoo and hree for Smith. of
