While crossing the square we
were detained by the traffic officer,
and when the semaphore was
turned for us to proceed, the auto
mobile very stubbornly refused to
advance. Horns footed from i'm
patient vehicles in our rear, and
we became the cynosure of grins
and scoffing from pedestrians. One
ruffian shouted, Have you had
your iron today?" which made me
wax hotly, you may be sure. The
operator of the car then suggested
there was nothing to do but push
the auto on to a side street. Hav-
ing no knowledge of automotive
mechanism, begged to be excused
from the ordeal, and made my way
back to the auditorium, which af-
fair will relate in full detail to-
morrow.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 10.
Coolidge's S choice still
seems the likeliest prospect for
the vice presidential nomina-
ton. The opening day of the
convention found it a case of
Herbert Hoover against the
field. The field had grown
larger, but Hoover had grown
stronger, apparently. This
seems to be due to quiet in
timations generously circulated
among the State headquarters
that Hoover had ended his
period of prayerful considera-
ton and had finally agreed to
heed the call should it come
from the convention as we'll as
from the White House.
These intimatons came not from
Hoover. but from Sources close to
the President if there are any
such.
Evidences appeared last night
that Chairman William II. Butler
was playing regular old-line politics
