BY r. II. PETERS


Washington, March 8, 1925.-With
the country facing the possibility Of
being without a constitutionally
elected president inside the next "a
hours, President Coolidge again
called party chieftans to the White
House tonight for conference. With
them were summoned leaders of in
dustry and labor who have hurried
to Washington within the past few
days to plead for some settlement
which will not necessitate another
general election.
As this is written no hint has
come from the conference. The
three parties that have battled for
supremacy since that fateful second
wednesday in February when the
election went into congress, have not
found an exit from the turmoil that
has proved so fateful to the United
States.
In the house and senate chambers
where, for three tense weeks, repre-
sentatives and senator's have hope
lessly baloted TO name president
and vice president. there is a lull in
the ever rising storm while floor
leaders confer with the president.
Nebraska Unable to Vote.
The 10th ballot in the house to-
night. the last taken before recess,
gave no indication that state dele
cations had been moved by pleas for
Coolidge or Davis. Wisconsin Is
still doggedly casting its one vote
for La Toilette. The solid south
was never more solid. The republican
states are as determined on Coolidge
as they were thre weeks ago.
1t is almost a replica of the demo-
cratic convention at New York with
the mask of tragedy slipped over the
grinning face of comedy.
Five states. Nebraska, Montana
Maryland, New Jersey and New
Hampshire, have yet to cast their
first ballot Each has its own small
deadlock and unless some one m
these equally divided delegations
gives way. not one OF them will cast
a vote before the house goes out OF
existence at noon tomorrow. SO far

 In the first round' Endren carried the fight to Lazarus with haymakers which the Cornell boy met cleverly. Lazarus had the second round we'll in hand until the disqualification A
