Florida is sending a delegation led by William Jennings Bryan to the New York convention, and it is pledged to Mr. Wilson’s son-in-law. In mapping out their convention plan, the McAdoo strategists are taking account of the probability that the galleries will be filled by crowds overwhelmingly in sympathy with Governor Smith and decidedly wet as to the prohibition question.

LONDON, Friday. — In efforts to aid the plight of people living in the outskirts of London, the Underground authorities have closed fifty-five of the intermediate stations and one entire line. The result was that it was much more difficult trying to get from point to point in London, than from the termini to their homes. Many of the people clubbed together today and hired taxicabs and other motor vehicles of all sorts were commandeered and
and other motor vehicles of all sorts were commandeered and used as a means of conveyance in getting down to the City. There were all sorts of wild scenes throughout the city when suburbanites tried to get back to their homes. Many firms closed early. Realizing the difficulty that their employees would experience in reaching their domiciles, many of the larger and more important firms started sending their employees home much earlier than usual. The dismissal hours ranged from 4 to 5, and some employers let their people go as early as three. As soon as the rush hours started

Metropolitan trains that went within even walking distance of the usual Tube termini were very crowded and it seemed almost impossible to approach them. Many people walked for hours after riding as far as they could on the Underground.

(Paris Times Spécial) BERLIN, Friday. — The Reichstag is expected to rise today for a recess till June 24, after voting confidence in the new Government. The interval is intended to give Chancellor Marx the necessary time for completing preparations for the execution of the Dawes plan. Assured of the support of the three moderate Parties as well as the Social Democrats, the motion of confidence has the necessary two-thirds of the House. The Nationalists, although the most numerous Party, cannot muster enough votes to override the supporters of the

asked this morning when fresh from reading about the London tube tie-up in their newspapers they descended into the métro and found the trains at a standstill. There were, however, no bombs under the rails, and not even a picket of strikers to keep the underground railway from functioning, as it turned out. A mere breakdown in one of the power plants, occurring at 7 a.m., cut into the current to such an extent that it was impossible to move the heavy trains through the rush hours on schedule time. On all métro lines in Paris the trains going toward
On all métro lines in Paris the trains going toward the centre of town waited five minutes at each station during the early part of the morning. Morning Scramble Absent. The métro was a peaceful place as a result, and the usual morning scramble failed to come off. Many travelers gave up the chase after counting up the time it would take to get to their destinations by multiplying the number of stations by five. Others calmly unfolded their papers and digested their breakfasts in the half-deserted cars. Those who came to the surface and attempted the overland route to

It was, however, a pleasant morning for a walk, and up to a late hour strings of jolly shop-girls, walking arm in arm according to their own peculiar custom, were seen tripping down the streets and seemed to be hugely happy over their unexpected promenade.

At one of the largest Paris department stores it was stated that at 9:30 o'clock this morning 800 of their employees were still missing, while all hands are supposed to be on deck at 8:30.

Consul Arrested For Bootlegging An arrest was made yesterday for smuggling large quantities of alcohol from Spain under the guise of olive oil. The arrest was made following a
guise of olive oil. The arrest was made following a year's work by two sergeants of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who masqueraded as traffickers in contraband and liquor smugglers. It is stated that they invoked the assistance of the Spanish Consul, who furnished them with the necessary “credentials” to assist them in dealing with the agents of France and Spain and with ties of Canadian Customs officers and able to bribe them. Mounted policemen spent a year in Spain ferreting out cases of international drug and liquor traffic, when they were informed that the Spanish police had arrested a
they were informed that the Spanish police had arrested a number of drug traffickers, which made the business too dangerous. Therefore, the agents sent them back to Canada with a cargo of alcohol, disguising cans as olive oil. The policemen gave elaborate tales of the whole scheme, with the alleged part played by the Spanish Consul, together with the amount of his share of profits from alcohol, which they had no difficulty in smuggling to Canada through the information furnished by the Spanish Consul. When arrested, the Spanish Consul pleaded diplomatic immunity and offered no defense. The judge stated that

The government's supporters admit today that the president's action in preventing hypocrisy from being presented to the bomber with the western stratification platform; but felt that the remnants for securing permanent peace would be spun out of policy, and that his refusal in this instance was evidence of political piety that should come naturally itself to die.

the new Ministry from the Left Department, according to Constitutional usage, and, in view of Mr. Herriot's refusal to accept the mission offered by the President, Mr. Millerand has been consulting various members of both Houses with a view to giving effect to the Presidential prerogative. This is the "Battle for the Elysée" continues, and the next shot is due from the present occupant of the Presidential mansion.

This consultation was interpreted as a sign that Mr. Millerand would give his next ministers among businessmen, who are naturally much affected by the économie consequences of a Constitutional crisis. Others consulted in addition to MM. Millées, Duroc, and Ratier, were MM. Frankin-Bouillon, Thomson, Frédéric Brunet, and Klots. Non-partisan opinion is much impressed by the fact that, while Mr. Millerand, in an official statement issued yesterday, emphasizes his absolute respect for the Law and his firm determination to
absolute respect for the Law and his firm determination to combat all assaults upon the Constitution, Mr. Herriot, in a subsequent declaration, takes up his stand in a state of fact, as he styles his own subordination to the attitude of the Left majority. Mr. Herriot's explanation, it is held, fully accounts for his refusal to accept office from an authority that is repudiated by his supporters, but it leaves Mr. Millerand's position intact. Under the circumstances, it is agreed that Mr. Herriot was justified in abstaining from discussion of the issue between the Left and the President on its
the issue between the Left and the President on its Constitutional merits. Nor did the prolonged conference, in the evening between Mr. Herriot and his Radical and Socialist colleagues, including Mr. Aristide Briand, the former Premier, elicit any new development from the anti-Millerand camp. Mr. Briand's choice for the Council of War at the Palais Bourbon is accounted for by the recall of that statesman from the Cannes Conference because of his alleged submissiveness to Mr. Lloyd George's suggestions, this recall being stigmatized by the Radicals, as an unconstitutional Briand's persuasive eloquence is, apparently, to be invoked for the Parliamentary
persuasive eloquence is, apparently, to be invoked for the Parliamentary phase of the battle. The Presidential plan, as outlined by Mr. Millerand's friends, provides for a Ministry made up of statesmen belonging to the Left side, who will make a declaration of policy agreeing with the programme already defined by Mr. Herriot, this being in harmony in its main points with the President's view regarding foreign affairs and reparations. It will be difficult for the Chamber to vote against this programme, though the Left organs cite parliamentary authorities to support the view that the Chamber would be justified in declining
