FRIENDS OF McADOO DETERMINED TO PUT MS
NAME BEFORE CONVENTION IN FORMAL MAN.
NER AND TUG WITH PALMER AND COX.
By the Aaeeciated Preset
San Francisco, June 30.—At the eleventh hour, friends
of McAdoo abandoned their effort to prevent his being placed
in formal nomination. His total strength on the first ballot,
according to the latest estimate of the McAdoo supporters,
was approximately 300 votes. Maryland will cast its first
votes for John W. Davis, but the McAdoo supporters expect
Maryland's votes to return after a few ballots. The Cox and
Palmer forces view with satisfaction the scrimmage within
the McAdoo force., which sre threat- ~" - 1 —

immediately and make the nomination

ginning. The Cox and Palmer forces

that the convention will have the big

Cummings boom grew within the
twenty-tour hours which followed the
chairman’s opening address. Today
It had taken full form, with hand bills
circulated declaring that “the great
moment had produced a great man.”
The Cummings Boom
Twice yesterdhy Cutfimirtgs drew
new demonstrations from the conven
tion flrat when he announced that he
had taken the Initiative In proposing
that the convention congratulate Gov
ernor Roberts ot Tennessee for his
action in calling a special session of
the legislature to act on the suffrage
amendment, and agam when he res
cued the resolution to double the size
ot the national committee and give
the new places to women. His grow
ing boom, however, brought with it
a forecast of opposition from Bryan,
who some time ago denounced the
national chairman for making a
speech at a banquet grven for Ed
wards an avowed wet candidate.

"WET PLANK IN PLATFORM
SECRETARY OF STATE BEFORE COMMITTEE URG
ING LIGHT WINF AND BEER PROVISION.
By the Associated Prbea
San Francisco, June 30. —Several
hours of debate failed to bring the
platform sub-committee Into final
agreement on the prohibition issue.
With Secretary Colby leading the
fight for a light wine and beer plank,
the problem showed signs of becoming
the most troublesome facing the lit
tle circle of platform builders. A
canvass of the sentiment soon after
the meeting began last night is said
to have shown a majority against any
wet declaration, but when the sub
committee came formally to take up
the prohibition proposals in their nat
ural course of its deliberations, it
was decided to reopen the whol e sub
ject.
Besides the plank offered by
Mr. Colby, various wet declarations
in different forms were suggested, and
