they could pound down (he McAdoo strength far enough to discourage
his supporters.
Nothing like this happened. On the contrary, the McAdoo boom
seemed to take on a now lease of life and ho went into the lead on the
thirtieth ballot.
McAdoo continued his gaina slowly until the thirty-third ballot, when
he reached 421 votes, while on the following ballot he lost one-half a vote.
On the thirty-fourth ballot Cox had 379Va votos and Palmer 184 votes.
Rumors of Break Circulate
Rumors then began to circulate that the Mississippi delegation, which
has been casting twenty votes solidly for Cox, would swing to McAdoo.
The Palmer people, assisted by the band and the great pipe organ, started
a demonstration with a view to holding their lines fast. The Palmer
workers marched around the hall singing "I aimer. Palmer, Pennsyl?
vania," to the time of "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!''
The demonstration delayed the balloting for about ten minutes. No
effort was made by the steam roller chauffeurs to break up the outburst,
the "organization" being apparently perfectly satisfied to let the Palmer
? copie do anything they wanted.
On the thirty-fifth ballot Palmer/jumped to 222, a gain of thirty
eight vors. McAdoo's total sank to 400 and Cox's to OT?.)1?.. Davis lost
tvr-jint*; vrit??
Palmer'? voto took another jump on
?.ho thirty-sixth ballot, reaching 241,
while McAdoo'? fell to 309 and Cox's to
87?.
Fsimcr leaders met all overtures of
the Ccx and McAdoo managers with
the assertion that the Palmer dele
gate?-, were powerless to break the
deadlock, even by withdrawing Palmer
j?nd releasing his. delegates. They
??aid their 180 last-ditch Palmer men
that being the number they declare
ihey can hold through thick and thin
until they are released would divide
.'.list about half and half between Mc?
Adoo and Cox if me contest could be
"arrowed down to those two, with a
alight possibility that Cox would get
more th:u?. McAdoo. In view of the
two-third', rule, this would accomplish
nothing toward solving the problem.
Bryan's Aid Cheers Owen Men
The indorsement, of Owen late last
night by William Jennings Bryan, who
?tas been voting for Owen since the
Nebraska delegation was released from
its primary instructions to vote for
Hitchcock, caused a great deal of noise
'rom the Owen rooters, especially when
occasionally during the roll calls would
come ballots t'or the Oklahoma Senator.
Hut there is absolutely no sign so far
cf '.ho convention turning to any dark
horse, despite the belief of many deie
gates that no one of the leaders tiow
can win. and notwithstanding the
crowing desire on the part of the del?
egates to get the convention, with the
heavy cxper.se of staying in San Fran?
cisco at convention hotel rates, over.
There is more friendliness for Vice
president Marshall than for any other
dark horse, so far as inquiry among the
delegates discloses, but there has been
no move in his direction.
All during 'he balloting, which began
at 10:30 sharp this morning, there were
conferences galore between the leaders.
Charles F. Murphy was the target of
every compromises and fixer who had a
plan to end the deadlock, but after a
report to Murphy from Tom Taggart
that he had not been able to count up
'?? lugh votes to nominate Vice-President
Marshall, whom Taggart would like to
- ??? nominated, the Tammany chieftain
Hid not -eem much interested in any
other maneuver.
Judge K. 11. Moore, of Ohio, manager
for Governor Co*;, was busy conferring
v. th Charles Carlin, chief manager of
?'.. Palmer forces. They were adding
ip numbers of delegates in a compara?
tively quiet spot out in one of the
corridors when a policeman stopped
? .; m because they were writing figures
on the wall, This incident illustrated
1 "w utterly up in the air the leaders
are.
After a late talk with Murphy, Tom
Taggart went to the Cox people and
told them Indiana and other states
??? ould support Cox for the Vice-Pres?
idency if they would step a.-ide and
permit McAdoo to be nominated. The
< people rejected the proposal.
Tennessee Swings to Palmer
On the thirty-fifth ballot Tennes
? e. which had been going solid for
i1 eis all nay, swung to Palmer, bring
? g a brief renewal of the Palmer dem
i.uration. The band and organ, did
not join in this cru?, however, su it
?-peedily died down.
It sprang up with renewed vigor,
aided by the band and organ how
ever, when the result of the thirty
fifth ballot was announced.
_Several hundred I.eland Stanford
University students were marched into
the hall at this point, and in college
cheer-leader fashion marched around
the aisles singing the frazzled "Palm
i r. Palmer, Pennsylvania" song.
A pectacular effort to steal the
demonstration was then macte by the
McAdoo people. Several girls with reel
' sweat-31's, carrying large signs, marked
: . "The Women Want McAdoo," were
counted on the press stand, and the
McAdoo delegates began marching
around ihe hall a? the band played
: "Dixio "
The first ballot, to-day was n terrible
disappointment to the Cox supporters.
They had confidently expected to start
a stampede the moment the balloting
began. On the contrary, they lost Ivc
votes as compared with the last ballot
on Saturday night. Palmer showed n
' fair gain, while? McAdoo los*. 7% votes.
When Ohio was reached on the sec?
ond roll call. Judge K. 11. Moore. Cox's
manager, provoked a laugh by saying:
"To save time on the rolls just put
Ohio down every time forty-eight for
Cox without calling her.''
Delegates Begin to Show Strain
The worn out condition of the dele
gates and their impatience to get
home was demonstrated when the Vir?
ginia delegation on ihu second ballot
voted for (?lass. Muttered resentment
at this policy, which, of course, holds
back the break whici. will end the
deadlock, was heard all over the hall.
The little Alaska derogation gave the
Palmer managers, and for that matter
the Cox and McAdoo managers, a shock
early to-day by proposing on early
ballots to throw their six votes to ex
Senator .1. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois.
The delegation had been voting three
for Palmer, two for McAdoo and one
for Cox. The three delegates for Pal
mer are anxious for the Attorney Gen?
eral to oust the United States Marshal
at Nome.
"Tr.n is no time to be monkeying
around with complimentary votes or
snringing dark horses,'' snapped ono of
the Palmer managers, probably with
visions of'the big Illinois delegation
swinging to Lewis to make a real com?
plimentary vote.
Presiden; Wilson lost two votes oi,
the first ballot to-day when the two
Missourirtns who had voted for him on
the !r;st ballot Saturday night switched
back. Roars of laughter followed the
announcement, however, of a half a
vote for Ping W. Lardner from the
Missouri delegation. Not to be out?
done Irvin Cobb was given a full vote
by the Washington delegation.
Pershing Given a Vote
On the third ballot of the day Mis?
souri gave General Pershing one vote
at which point it began to percolate
that some good natured Missouri dele
gates wer." not only kidding the con?
vention, but providing the reporter.
from Missouri papers with some
"?oca!" copy.
In an effort to break the deadlock s
motion was made just a.'ior the com?
pletion of the thirtieth ballot by Sena
tor Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, oik
of the Cox managers, that after eacl
ballot the candidate receiving th<
lowest number of votes should b<
eliminated. Tins would have the? effect
if carried out literally, of forcing ?
nomination at the end of a given num
her of ballots, since on the last bailo
delegates would br entitled to vot'
only for the man receiving the large
vote on the next to the last, ballot.
Thomas J. Spellaey, of Connecticut
made a point of order against t!i
motion. which Chairman Robinsoi
overruled. Senator Smith, of Soutl
Carolina, .-aid the convention coul<
not deprive a delegate of the right t
vote for whomever he pleased, on whic
point Mr. Robinson refused to rule.
The convention then rejected thi
speeding up process by a vote of 8'JO'
to 250.
Chairman Robinson then ruled tha
the motion wouid not have been effec
tive anyhow, sustaining Senato
Smith's contention.
Walter Burns, of New York Cit;
varied the monotony on the next ballc
by voting for .Tosephus Daniels, a vot
on which Daniels's first assistan
Franklin V. Roosevelt, did not joi
him.
Walker Hines, late federal Railroa
Administrator, got one vote from Ket
tuckv, his sta'te, the ballot being ca:
by P. H. Callahan.
Stampede Plan Fails Despite
Indiana's Break to McAdoo
SAN FRANCISCO, July ,">. Leaders'
in the Democratic convention were
agreed as they came into the h?ll for
the day's Bcssion that the first hallo':
to day, the twenty-third of the conven
i on, would be much the .-ame as the
last taken Saturday night.
"We're going to do some business
"ete to day," said Chairman Robinson
?? he got into position at the speakers'
f ; ru nway.
the convention was opened with
prayer and then was led in the recita?
tion of the Lord's Prayer by a Chris
? an Scientist practitioner. The sing
: g of "The Star-Spangled Banner"
ollowed. By unanimous consent the
Declaration of independence, was read
! to tue convention by former Governor
F.alston of Indiana.
While the reading was going on the
leaders took opportunity vo do some

. , stori v of the various managers, there

i i re th.'ee weeks " The McAdoo people
t?.ado practically the same prediction
?- about Cox.
Many Alternates Voting
Many o? the delegate eeats were
''?led to-day with alternate?, and there
? ere new sets of faces in many of tho
caucuses and conferences. Th.t Mc?
Adoo peopio turned considerable utten
ti->rt to tbe Maryland delegation, of
which Joshua W. Miles, of Baltimore,
Internal Revenue Collector, was a
eader. There were many empty seats
itt tho New York delegation space, and
it waa said that both delegates and
Altern?tes bs-d departed. The same
i"?tuution prevailed i?i the delegations
01 some oth"r Eastern s'ates. Delega
i ion chairmen, however, said they were
prepared t.> cast tho ful] votes by

"It. will be a gray horse," said Mr.
Mack. By "a gray horse," rather than

Deadlock Continues
The twenty-fourth ballot failed to
I break the deadlock, and there were
growing signs oi irritation among del?
egates at. the attitude of the favorite
son states, which refused to break.
The figures wore: McAdoo, 364%;
Cox, 429; Palmer, 181%.
The changes showed Cox gained
! four; McAdoo, no change; Palmer lost
i throe and a half.
(in the twenty-fifth ballot, the lead?
ers stood: McAdoo, 364 % ; Cox, 424;
t Palmer, 160.
McAdoo was unchanged on the bal
! lot. Cox lost live and Palmer lost. nine.
The first votes for Oscar W. Under?
wood to he east in the convention came
from Alabama on the twenty-fifth bal?
lot. It turned out to be only a flurry,
however, so far as that ballot was con?
cerned. General Pcrshlng got one vote
from Missouri on that ballot.
On the twenty-sixth ballot the
leaders stood: McAdoo. 371; Cox, 424%;
Palmer. 1 *>T; Davis, 55%.
On the twenty-seventh ballot the
leaders stood: McAdoo, 371%; Cox,
423%; Palmer, 166%, Davis, 60%.
The changes on the twenty-seventh
ballot were: McAdoo gained one-half
vote. Cox lost one. Palmer lost onc
hnlf. Davis gained five.
On the twenty-eighth ballot the
leaders stood: McAdoo, 368%; Cox,
421!; Palmer, 165%; Davis, 62%.
The changes on the twenty-eighth
ballot showed that McAdoo lost three,
Cox lost, one-half, Palmer one and
Davis gained two.
M. T. Anderson, of Macon, Ca., moved
to drop the low candidate on each
ballot, but was ruled out of order.
First Sign of Break
The first evidence of a break in the
deadlock came on the twenty-ninth bal?
lot, when Tom Taggart rose in bis
place in the Indiana delegation and
gave twenty-nine of tho Hoosiet
State's thirty votes to McAdoo.
It was the first turnover.of the day
and for a moment, the McAdoo crowd
was stunned. Then, as it. dawned upon
them that the shift contained the pos?
sibilities of a stampede, thev gathered
breath and proceeded to use it in a
demonstration. The usual processior
was organized immediately and the
McAdoo rooters began prancing about
the hall roaring and shrieking, rfx
horting other delegations to follow
them. The Cox people, professing t<
he undisturbed by the outbreak, hat:
heard of it in advance and sent wort:
to their warhorses to stand pat and re?
fuse to be stampeded. Most of the Co>
crowd remained m their scats ant
watched the demonstration.
Judge Moore, of Youngstown, Ohio
the Cox manager, viewing the demon?
stration without evidence of alarm
said:
"All right; we will r-till have fifty
votes the best oi' McAdoo when thit
ballot closes."
A McAdoo man nearby remarked tha
Moore had just lost $500 betting on th<
early nomination of Cox.
The McAdoo crowd got a lot of stati
standards in their procession and lej"
about half of them at their places. Thi
demonstration was rather a tired one
It seemed as if everybody had demon
stratcd himself to exhaustion in th?
roaring spectacles of last week anil hat
little energy left.
The band, too. laid oiT during th
demonstration to-day. and without it
blaring accompaniment the tacke
failed to gather much momentum, hi;
trailed alone steadily, with efforts t
whoop ii up being not over succe.ssfu
Yells ot "Come on, Georgia," from th
McAdoo paraders failed to bring th
Georgia votes for Palmer into th
parade. The Georgians were detel
mined not to have their state standar
snatched by any of the passing McAdo
crowd and tour husky lads held it dow
to the floor, taking no chances.
A slide of fourteen Washington vote
to McAdoo also took place in the twei
ty-ninth ballot. But in spite of th
Indiana and Washington votes, the Co
lines held fast. On the ballot the leat
ers stood- McAdoo, 394%; Con, 404M?
Palmer, 166; Davis, 63.
The changes shown in the twentj
ninth ballot were .McAdoo gained '_'?
Cox lost IS1,?.; Palmer ?jain a half vol
and Davis gained a half vote.
When Senator King, of Utah, nctin
at the gavel for Chairman Robinsoi
called for order after the McAdc
demonstration had been going aboi
live minutes, he had no difficulty ?
all in getting it. The band apparent!
was the secret to the demonstration
Without it an attempt fell flat.
McAdoo Takes Pirst Again
Or. tho resumption of the roll ca
Iowa stood fast antl cast the usu
twenty-six for Cox, and the Cox pe
pie jeered in delight.
On the thirtieth McAdoo overean
the- Cox lead and sprang back to fir
place by gradual accessions which fc
lowed a slide from Indiana and Wat;
ington.
On that ballot the leaders stooi
McAdoo. 403%; Cox, 400%; Palme
165; Davis, 58.
The changes on the thirtieth ball
showed that McAdoo gained 9, Cox lo
!, Palmer lost 1 and Davis lost 5.
Senator Harrison, of Mississipj
moved that the rules be suspended ai
that on the next ballot th.- low ca
dictate be droppod on succeeding b:
lots until there was a nomination. 1
ptcposed that the same order preva
A point of order was made against it.
Various delegates wanted to know
the dropping of the low candida
would not drop the second ma?! wh
only two were left. The chair gave
opinion that it would not.
Chairman Robinson overruled pnir
of order against the proposal. Pari;
liientary inquines came in a flock

while they wer?? being answered,
roll call was demanded.
Twenty minutes debate for a
against the suspension of the rul
was in order, and another motion
table was made, [t was not debatab
A roll call on the original moti
to suspend the rules was finally ordei
out of the tangle. A two-thirds v<

The result was SviO'a against, and 7

Virginia broke on 'he thirty-fir

one, Davis one-half and Glass twe
and one-half. on tins ballot t
leaders stood: McAdoo, ?114%; Cc
391%; Palmer, 174: Davis. 57%. 'I
'changes wore: McAdoo gained eleven,

Davis lost one-half vote.
On the thirty-first ballot the leaders
Htood: McAdoo. 416%; Cox, 301 ',4 ;

The changes were that MrAdno

lost nine and one-half, Davis lost one
j half vote.
On the thirty-second McAdoo gainurl
] .six and one-half, Cox lost one-half,
Palmer gained two ami Davis lost two.
! After this ballot a move t"J recess
I until 8 o'clock to-night was voted down
j in a great roar of disapproval and the
? thirty-third roll call began.
On the thirty-third ballot the leaders
?stood: McAdoo, 421; 'Cos, I180'/j;
j Palmer, 180; Davis, 56. The changes
; showed McAdoo unchanged, Cox lost.
I ten and one-half. Palmer gained four,
I Davis gained one-han.
The vote on the thirty-fourth ballot
i was: McAdoo, 420 V4 ; Cox, 379MG
1 Palmer. 181; Davis. 54,
McAdoo lost one-half; Cox lost 1,
. Palmer gained 4, and Davis gained 2.
Palmer's lead on the thirty-fourth
was the highest, he had since the four?
teenth. Cox had shown a steady de?
cline since the twenty-fourth ballot.
McAdoo had been down and up. Be?
tween the thirty-fourth and the thirty
fifth the Palmer pcopie went in for a
demonstration, marching about to tho ,
I chorus of "The: Battlo Hymn of the
Republic."
The chairman let the demonstration
? run. Everybody was glad of the res?
pite from balloting,
Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and
the District of Columbia and Virginia,
were the only banners seen in the'
| marching line as the eii ?,.::::m1 ration j
started off. In the marching Palmer ?
lino was Roland S. Morris, Ambassador !
to Japan, who joined loudly in the j
chorus of "Pennsylvania." The state I
1 standards of Connecticut and Maine j
also got into the march.
Meanwhile the Cox and McAdoo man- j
agers used the occasion to be very ;
busy in conferences and attempted ar?
rangements.'
There were various reports of dele- '
gates being tired of the deadlock and
getting ready to switch. The conven- j
tion was a rumor factory for a half
hour and then got back to order and ?
went, on to the thirty-fifth ballot.
On the thirty-fifth ballot the leaders ]
stood, McAdoo, 409; Cox, 376V?;
Palmer, 222. and Davis, 39. It showed :
these changes: McAdoo lost 11 Vs. Cox
lost 3, Palmer gained .18, Davis lost 20.
Palmer Rises on 3.">th
When Palmer on the thirty-fifth bal- '
lot hit a higher mark than he had at j
any time' since the eleventh the Palmer
people set up another demonstration. ,
There was a movement on foot for a
recess until 8 o'clock after the thirty
fifth ballot, but the Palmer people
wanted one more ballot before that
and the recess idea was not pressed.
While the Pennsylvanians were
chanting "Palmer, Palmer, Pennsylva?
nia" to the tune of "Glory, Glory, Hal- ?
lelujah" the Cox people took a hand ;
at making a parody, and when the
.McAdoo pcopie set up a counter dem
onstration the Ohio and Pennsylvania'
crowd chanted out a verse which went:
"All the Hoys Are on the Payroll."
When the convention got back to
order and Alabama was called on the
thirty-sixth ballot Pr.imer made an?
other gain, taking seven from Alabama.
He took them from McAdoo, Davis and
Cox. It was the voto which liie Palmer
people' had been promised and was the.
reason they did not want to recess.
Then Palmer nicked up four more in
Illinois, taking from both McAdoo and
Cox. Kentucky having previously cast
one vote for Miss Laura 'May, cast
one for Miss ('ora Wilson Stuart. The
Kentucky delegation was giving com?
plimentary Presidential votes to Ken- I
tuck y women. Palmer made a gain of
one in Massachusetts. Montana, which
had been giving McAdoo eight straight,
?ave three to Paimer. Then the* At?
torney General picked up four more
in South Dakota and one' in Virginia. .
He lost, however, one and a half in
Washington, In return he picked up
three in Wisconsin. Then, after the
thirty-sixth ballot and on motion of
Fred H. Lynch, of Minnesota, tho con?
vention recessed until 8:30 o'clock.
Note for Annette Adams
(M? the thirty-seventh ballot, the first
of the night session. Arizona nominated i
a full ticket. The state chairman, an-]
nouncing that "Arizona believes the |
ticket should be McAdoo and Cox.":
cast four for McAdoo and two for the '
Ohio Governor.
Annette Adams, of California, receni
ly appointed an Assistant Attorney
General of the United State;, got one
vote from California. On the first
seven states called McAdoo gained one
i'or each in Alabama and Arizona and
had lost, one in each e)f California and
Delaware. Cox lost one from Arkansas
and gained one from California, while
Palmer gained three from Alabama and ,

fornia.
There were slight variations there
after.
Cox gained two in Massachusetts,
without disturbing McAdoo or Palmer.
In Montana and New Hampshire, Mc?
Adoo took one each from Palmer.
New York stuck with Cox as Indiana
had 'tuck with McAdoo. The report
that Indiana proposed to switch back
to Cox if McAdoo failed to show a
start persisted. Palmer took one. from
McAdoo in North Dakota and then the
familia:' "Cox, Forty-Eight," which had
burrt out. from the Ohio space thirty
six times before,, roared out for the
thirty-seventh time, while the conven?
tion let out a storm of applause.
"How did Ohio go that time?"
queried a delegate with a sense of
humor.
The man who cast the vote had a
voice that probably was heard around
the Golden Gate.
In Pennsylvania Palmer took one of
McAdoo's only two and made bis string
seventy-four in his native state.
Some belated Fourth of July fire
works went off outside the convention
hall during the ballot with loud and
prolonged reports. Of course it was
noised about, among the joke smiths
that "somebody's boom was being
busted."
Accompanying one of the, loud re?
ports Tennessee's twenty-four jumped
out of the Palmer column and back to
John W. Davis, of West Virginia. It
was a jar to the rising Palmer vote.
Alaska's Six for Lewis
Palmer's three in Wisconsin went
one. to Cox ami two to McAdoo. Alas?
ka's six were cast for James Hamilton
Lewis, of Illinois, after being divided
for many ballots between McAdoo and
Palmer and Cox.
Illinois threw eight votes from Palm?
er to Cox. In Virginia McAdoo gainec
live. Cox lost a half and Palmer losi
three.
The thirty-seventh ballot as officiallj
announced follows: McAdoo, 405; Cox
386; Palme,-, 202V?; Cummings, ";
Owen. 33; Davis, 50Vi; Glass, 1; Clark
2; Adams, 1; Bonniwell, 1; Lewis, 6
The changes were: Palmer lost. 38;
Cox gained '.<: McAdoo gained i>; Davi
gained 22V-j.
When the chairman announced n
choice on the thirty-seventh, t,he Cox
McAeloo and Palmer factions rose u;
and called to one another to join an'
end the deadlock.
The convention turned to the thirty
eighth ballot. Arizona switched th
choice between the two leaders, givin
Cox 'I and McAeloo 2. Palmer picke
up three in California. He lost hi
live in Colorado, however.
When Fred 11. Lynch, of Minnesott
announced the same ballot he had bee
calling all day and for some part o
the previous ballots, the humor of th
situation seemed to strike him as i
did others, and the Minnesota bailo
was cast between the chuckles of th
chairman.
Thirty-eighth ballot totals: McAdoi
-405 's ; Cox. 3834; Palmer, 211; Davi
50.
Now Cox vs. McAdoo
A.n eleventh-hour release of Atto;
ney General Palmer's delegates left tl
convention with a light between Mi
Adoo and Cox on its hand and bo'h (
them, claiming the other could not po
sibly get enough out of the Palm<
wreck to attain a nomination.
The chanues of the thirty-ninth ha
lot were: Cox gained eighty-five, M
Adoo gained thirty-four and a ha!
! Davis gained twenty-one and a half.
and Palmer retained seventy-four of
'is 211.
The totals on the thirty-ninth ballot
were: McAdoo, 440; Cox, 468%;
Palmer, 74; Davis. 71%; Cummings, 2;
Owen, 32; Clark, 2; Colby, I.
Cox's vote of 468% was exactly his
previous high water mark as it ap?
peared on the fifteenth ballot. Atten?
tion of Senator Harrison, of the Cox
forces, was called to that fact by Na?
tional Committeeman Guffey, of Penn?
sylvania, who asked what the Cox forces
were going to do about it. Harrison
said they were going out for more.
The convention went into the fortieth
ballot with Cox the leader over McAdoo
once more and with big changes in sight
i for the calling of the rol!.
Pennsylvania gave Cox 12, McAdoo
12. Palmer 18 and Davis 3.
The totals on the fortieth ballot
were: McAdoo, 467; Cox, 490; Palmer,
19; Davis, 76. The changes were: Mc?
Adoo gained_27, Cox gained 21%; Davis
gained 4% and Palmer retained 19.
When the McAdoo gain in Pennsyl?
vania was announced the McAdoo
boomers began a parade, but the band
failed to join in and a McAdoo boome;
shouted n demand to know if "the band
up there belongs to somebody in par?
ticular or the whole convention."
On the forty-first ballot the vote
stood: Cox, 497%; McAdoo, 460; Davis,
55%; Owen, 35; Glass, 24; Cummings.
2; Clark, 2.
McAdoo lost seven. Cox gained seven
and a half. Davis lost twenty and a
half, and Palmer's vote was reduced to
twelve.
During the recess between the forty
first and forty-second ballots Georgia
caucused and it was decided to stick
with McAdoo for another. Some change
was hinted at, but not defined.
A roll call was ordered on a motion to
adjourn until 10 o'clock to-morrow. For?
mer Governor Linebaugh of Oklahoma
moved it and the Cox people opposed it.
fearing the effects of an overnight rest
on their lead.
Former Governor Linebaugh of Okla?
homa moved an adjournment, but the
Cox people set up a great roar. The
motion was defeated on a roll call.
Longest, Costliest
Of All Conventions
N'o national convention n. .Tic history
of either trie Democratic or Republi?
can party has ever lasted as long as
the Democratic National Convention in
San francisco. .Vor has any political
convention entailed such a toll of ex?
pense upon its delegates. The San
Francisco convention has gone seven
secular days at H" average of eight
hours a day. Other conventions have
polled more ballots on various nomi?
nees, but none has consumed the time
of the Democratic convention of 1920.
And the cost of it all!
The fare from the Atlantic seaboard
to San Francisco, under the increased
rates, is $100.53, exclusive of Pullman
fare. The Pullman fare is $24. The
hotel expetise in San Francisco will
average about $12 a clay. The hum?
blest delegate from the Atlantic sea?
board has been put to an expense of
at, least $-100 in attending the conven?
tion. It, is estimated that the average
delegate to the Republican National
Convention in Chicago "got by" at an
expense under $200, including railroad
fare and hotel bills.

William Gibbs McAdoo, for the firs!
I time yesterday broke the silence with
which he has surrounded himself since
I the San Francisco convention began to
! ballot upon his name as a candidate
Mor the Democratic nomination for
I President. At a Fourth of July
Celebration at Huntington, L. L, where
lie has a summer home, he allowed him
self to be cajoled by a crowd of cele
brants into making a speech.
Mr. McAdoo stuck strictly to conven
| tional Fourth of July oratory, with a
special reference to Nathan Hale, in
j whose memory Huntington takes a spe
i cial pride. He said nothing that might
be construed as bearing upon the con
: temporary political situation, unless
! his reference to Halo's famous decla?
ration may be so interpreted.
1 the claim recently, and with n great
showing of facts, that it costs less to
I live in comfort, in that city than in
any other metropolitan community in
the United States; but the leading
hotels in San Francisco are just as
; high in their rates as the foremost
hotels in New York or Chicago.
Figuring the average cost, of the
Democratic convention ar S 100 per
.delegate and the number of delegates
; at 1,092, the representatives of the
Democratic party will spend on per
i sonal expenses at least $436,800. In
' addition, each elelcgate also has an
alternate, and in most cases the alter?
nates went to San Francisco.
There were a dozen candidates also
