INDIANA DELEGATES

Realizing Their 80 Votes May

Developments.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 28.-Realizing that
Indiana's 80 votes might prove to be
the balance of power in the Democratic
National Convention, the Hoosier dele
CATION, under the guidance of Chair
man Frank McHale, had not announced
last night its presidential preference.
A caucus which was to have been
held was postponed until today to give
the Indiana strategists more time to
study the situation and await develop
ments.
Paul v. McNutt, Indiana Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, denied en-
phatically reports that Indiana was
holding off in order that he might ig-
ure on the national ticket.
The dropping of the two-thirds rule
fight by the Roosevelt forces also was q
factor in eliminating last nights eau
Gus. At caucus Sunday night, Indiana
voted to support Jouett Shouse for per-
manent chairman, but deferred action
on the two-thirds question.
The Hoosier delegation buzzed with
excitement during yesterday afternoons
session when it was learned that the
Resolutions Subcommittee had requested
another copy of the Indiana prohibition
repeal plank This plank recommends
that Congress Immediately propose an
amendment to the Constitution repeal
ing the eighteenth amendment and
that such amendment be submitted to
non partisan conventions.
When the prohibition repeal demon
stration took place during the keynote
speech of Senator Barkley, the Indiana
standard. held high by McHale, was
among the first in the parade.
There is every indication that major
ity of the Indiana delegates would vote
which ever way it was decided best
for the States interests. Although un
instructed, the delegation, McHale said,
is strongly disposed to harmonius action.

Stunning control of his presidential cam

dropped back into his customary silence
today as his forces faced their first big
battle on the convention floor.
After his dramatic move late yester-
day in calling of his lieutenants from
their fight to abrogate the two-thirds

He had portable radio set installed

NEW YORK, June 28-"Its a presi-
dental year."
This phrase invariably sends a tre-
NOR through the average investor or
speculator-but there is little in the
long record of American finance to JUS
tify it. A half century of market his

conclusiveness:

speeches by political campaigners and
the candidates having limited effect.
2. Declines or rallies have followed
the presidential elections in almost
equal number and except for few in
stances appear to have had their mott
waiting force in forces other than relief
or alarm, growing out of the popular
ballot.
Price Movements Charted.
A study of stock market averages

omist, carries the record of price move
ments back to 1875 In that period
there have been IA presidential cam
paigns, not including the present. The
sensitive stock market has rallied dur
ing the height eight of these and has
declined during six of them.
With few exceptions, the price
changes have not been sharp. Follow

.R|TCH|E MAY GET
TAMMANY VOTES
Curry Represented as Becom-
ing Doubtful of RooSeveIt'S
Chances to Win.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. June 2s.-While all the
enemies of Franklin D. Roosevelt pooled
undivided energy today in the struggle
to pull him down, talk began Of combi-
nations to lift one or two rival candi-
dates out Of the ruck
Discussions, with no actual results
visible, were undertaken last night over
the possibility Of linking Tammany's
votes, those of New Jersey and other
Alfred E. Smith States behind Gov.
Ritchie of Maryland The idea was
that John F. Curry, Tammany leader,
although still maintaining neutrality.
was becoming doubtful of Roosevelt's
victory chances, and was, therefore, re-
ceptive to plans for another candidate.
However, in delegate conversations It
is assumed to be certain that If Roose-
velt forces fail to win they will at least
pull down any candidate picked by
Smith. The theory, or rather the Cos
sip, is that then the Smith delegations
would swing to the generally unopposed

vigorous objection to the Roosevelt plan

he long ago professed to have no ex-

But all of the campaigning was being
delayed by the need to first play the
entire field, as it stands, against
Roosevelt If he is to be brought to a
stop and any other man is to have q
chance.
Hague Sounds Out Curry.
Mayor Frank Hague, Smiths campaign
manager was understood to have sound
ed Curry on the feasibility of throw
ing support to the Maryland Governor.
Curry was reported to base his opin-
ion on Roosevelt's chances on the
change of plans on the two-thirds rule,
since Tammany quarters generally felt
this indicated weakness.
The discussion began apparently be-
fore it was clear that supporters Of
Roosevelt regarded his message only as
request not to bring UP the fight
on the two-thirds rule until the voting
was under way.
Hague, Curry and John H. McCooey,
Brooklyn leader and Tammany ally,
went into conference Immediately after
word spread through the convention
hall that the two-thirds rule fight was
being dropped.

veltians to discard the rule in the event
of a deadlock would make any change

VOCAL GROUPS VIE
/. FOR NOISE HONORS
Convention CROSSROADS
Looks Like Miniature AID
and Broadway.
BY KIRKE SIMPSON.

ny the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June ga heavy-eyed
horde of delegates trooped back to the
Chicago Stadium trenches today, un-
certain about almost everything, so far
as the rank and file was concerned, but
that an old-fashioned Democratic Ma
tional Convention was being had.
Yesterdays little repeal outburst in
response to Keynoter Barkley's hot
shot at Republican fraud" punctuated
as it was by few flying fists, proved
to be merely an appetizer. Back on
the hotel route later, things warmed
up in the lobbieS while leaders wran-
gled over compromise ideas about the
two-thirds rule row, or whitfield sharp
ly deworded platform declarations into
shape.
Noise HOnors Divided.
The mass Of delegates and their wives
and friends took to stirring things up
in main Hobbies, aided and abetted by
the visiting bands. whether the bare
kneed, killed lassies from Oklahoma
CITY or the Texans with the ''Workin'
on de Railroad and "Ol' Gray Mare"
leaningS. At times highly vocal groups,
of no certainly indicated candidate
preferences, challenged the bands for
noise honors. Usually it sounded like
O dead heat.
For another swarm Of the delegates
as well as untold numbers OF just curl
Gus onlookers, candidate row at the
Congress, with its convention cross
roads like another AID and Broadway
in miniature, proved the main attrac-
ton. 1t was well past midnight before
AL Smith called it night at his head
quarters in the row and vanished up
stairs by elevator with croWdlng
group of the curious staring aloft
after him.
The New Yorker epitomizes the anti
Roosevelt movement to the convention
circle generally, whatever the niceties
of non-coalition minority candidates.
may be. He never fails of a gallery
as he moves about.
Candidate Row Thronged.
Smith was not the only major con-
vention figure passing by that cross
roads in the Congress eleventh floor
lobby. About everybody of note will
show up once or oftener each day at
that corridor intersection. Wait long
enough, and almost every delegate, al
ternate or party official will work his
way through the continuous traffic jam.
Be it business or pleasure. everybody
goes by sooner or later.
And even after the big guns had with
drawn from sight in the we sma' hours
to confer, scheme, plan, plot, connive
or just sit down and rest their feet and
vocal chords awhile, the convention
tourists, official or unofficial, refused
to abandon candidate row to the hotel
white wings for much needed cleanup
purposes.
1t still took effective elbowing to
make progress when this second day
of the 1892 Democratic convention had
arrived, fraught with nobody knew
what significance in the battle for
highest party honors, the presidential
nomination.
