If Ziegfeld think New York will pay

why not give Seattle a chance to see her

Why not, in fact, arrange to give a bene

in Prospect
COLISEI'M, Chicago, June 12.- After taking four more
ballots, making eight in all, the republican national conven
tion recessed at.l :U7 p. m. until I p. m.
The recess came after a sensational spurt by Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio, which apparently disconcerted
his opponents. The Ohioan's floor managers were called into
conference on the platform after a retess had l>cen moved.
Harding became, apparently, the dominating figure of the
convention.
A leap of 28»s votes for him on the eighth ballot, while
th« ftiength of Wood and Lowdm slightly decreased, was
l*li«ved by observers to indicate a trend in !he vote.
