Nomination Expected On First
Ballot-HOOver Given Noisy
Ovation By Convention
PLATFORM is DRAFTED

With platform drafted and huge
bloc of delegate votes tumbling for
Landon, the Republican national con-
vention last night devoted an hour to
an old-time welcome to Herbert
Hoover.
The former president stirred the
conclave when he stepped before it
to assail the New Deal as a "muddle"
and demanded that it be ousted by a
"holy crusade for liberty"
The final course of the convention
was rapidly shaping itself as the
lions share of the huge New York
and Pennsylvania delegate blocs
were thrown to Governor Landon.
From the platform draft it ap-
peared some dergee of harmony had
been attained between the Landon-
ties and Senator Borah.
Maryland's delegation is in caucus
today to- decide which presidential
candidate will receive the states six
teen votes. Governor Nice continued
his campaign for second place on the
ticket.
