OUTCOME REMAINS
GUESS AT RECESS
Slight Roosevelt Gains May
Mean Victory or That New
Yorker Is at Peak.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CHICAGO, July Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt cf New York is closer to the
necessary two-thirds vote than any
candidate has ever been in Democratic
convention history without actually win
ming the presidential nomination.
Whether the adjournment taken after
a 12-hour session means that the New
York Governor has reached his maxi
mum and will never attain the goal, or
whether he is only temporarily halted
on his way to a hardfought triumph
is something which the sleepy-eyed
delegates, tired and exhausted leaders
and weary onlookers could hardly try to
answer as they left the convention hall
this morning when the gavel fell, eager
for food and sleep.
1t was a gruelling session. Arthur
Mullen Of Nebraska, Roosevelt floor
manager, thought he could win on the
first ballot or two and hence he forced
the issue by keeping the convention in
session through the night and well into
the morning. The opposition, however,
was ready for the endurance test and
grin1ly set itself TO the task Of blocking
the Roosevelt nomination and bringing
about deadlock.
Two Viewpoints.
There are two ways to analyze the
three ballots taken before adjournment.
One is to look at it from the anti
Roosevelt viewpoint and another is to
appraiSe 1t from the Roosevelt view
point. The opposition to Roosevelt. or
rather the Roosevelt votes, amount
ed to 472, which is 86 votes more than
the 1856 which constitutes the veto
power in a Democratic National Con-
vention As long as the votes opposed
to the Roosevelt nomination are CO.
hesive and have 10 to 30 votes to spare
beyond the necessary one-third they
can carry on the balloting from now
until past the Fourth of July in dead
lock or prolonged attrition.
The purpose would be to convince the
Roosevelt delegates that their candi-
dates could not be chosen and that some
other candidate would be preferable.
The weakness in this situation is that
the on-Roosevelt delegations have not
any single candidate on whom they
are agreed, and there is always the
possibility that between Roosevelt and
a compromise choice offered by some
Of the non-Roosevelt forces, that about
80 or 80 votes could be found that
would not go along with the new
candidate proposed, and would prefer
Roosevelt.
Looking at the picture from the
Roosevelt viewpoint, the New York
Governor is the leading candidate. He
is lacking less than 80 votes to go over
the top with the necessary tWo-thirds
Why should any one now on the Roose-
welt band wagon get of? What in
ducements can the opposition offer in
a political way? The Roosevelt dele
cation will expect to find S8 votes here
and there, somewhere in the 472 votes
cast for the half dozen other candi-
/ dates.
The adjournment was agreed upon

The Government ended the fiscal
year last night with a s2.s85 oO0, 900
deficit, compared with one of $685.

IN making the announcement today,
Secretary Of the Treasury Mills said
total receipts for the year amounted
to 2,121 100000. decline Of sl,196,-
100000 from 1881, while expenditures
were $5,OO6,0OO,00O, a gain of $685.
900, 600 over the previo~s year.
The increase, Mills said, may be ac-
counted for by expanded governmental
construction activities and payments
under the settlement of war claims act,
the postal deficiency and payment for
the capital stock of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and the Federal
land banks.
S4I2,OOO,OOO Debts Retired
Mills said retirements of United
States obligations to meet sinking fund
requirements chargeable against ordi-
nary receipts total S412, ,000,0 900. SO the
deficit, exclusive of debt retirement,
amounted to S2,473 100000.
The total gross debt outstanding was
increased by s2,686, 100000 during the
year.
One of the principal tasks of Congress
this session has been the enactment Of
legislation to make the budget balance
during the present fiscal year.
1t passed the new revenue law to in
crease taxes by more than a billion
dollars and the national economy bill
to reduce expenditures by S150000, 900
to SITS, 5000 In addition heavy
slashes have been made in some Of the
appropriation bills.
Deficit Above Estimate.
Mills said "the Federal finances for
the fiscal year just closed reflect the
effect of the unprecedented depression
upon both the revenues and the out
lays of the Government"
The deficit was S762,000, 900 larger
than the estimate of S2,l23,0 900 900,
which was presented in the annual re-
port of the Secretary.
Expenditures exceeding the estimate
of S4,482, 900. 900 by $524 100000 as a
result of subsequent authorizations by
Congress for the purchase of capital
stock of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and Federal Land Banks,
which together aggregated S625, 000,000.
Expenditures exclusive of these two
items were S101 900. 900 less than esti
mated Total ordinary receipts were
S238 100000 less than estimated. due
to the fact that business did not main
tain the expected level of activity.
