McADOO AND COX GAIN IN BALLOTING

HOOSIERS START WITH MARSHALL, THEN BREAK Taggart Declares Fight Between Me Adoo and Cox, Former Leading. THINKS PALMER LOST By Robert A. BUTLER, Editor of Times. • SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.—Pursuant to the advice of Thomas Taggart, the Indiana delegation agreed in a caucus to cast a solid vote for Marshall until a well-defined break appeared. This move was made to counteract a division In Jiie delegation between the McAdoo and Cox adherents, who wanted to split the vote on the third ballot. Mr. Tsjrgsrt vai considering the advisability of throwing the whole delegation to Cox and attempting to lead the break to McAdoo from the Cox camp, bet was uncertain of the strengtl'. which the Ohioan might have on the third ballot. In a talk to the Indiana delegation Taggart declared that the fight was between McAdoo and Cox, with Palmer possibly leading on the next few ballots Taggart indicated, privately. that Palmer could not win and laid special strength on McAdoo’s popularity with the women. The general opinion was, when the convention opened, that a choice would be made before 8 o’clock. The New York delegation planned to leave at 8 o’clock. Indiana's plans were to leave Sunday morning at 9 o’clock. A desperate effort Is being made here to make Cox take second place. 9 With Its obligation to Marshall fully discharged, end Its support of Wilsonian democracy firmly established, Indiana s delegation was called to caucus by Thomas Taggart an hour before today's session of the convention. The caucus was to determine how Indiana's thirty votes would be bandied as McAdoo strength Increased. There wai some talk of going to Cox on the third ballot and gradually breaking to McAdoo, but It was doubtful If McAdoo’s friends In the delegation would consent. They felt that McAdoo was certatn to be nominated and could see no need of waiting to give him their votes. Taggart's directions, however, were awaited by all and there *n be no question that his word finally will determine whom Indiana supports. In the platform fight there were no deflections from the support of the ofganixatlon wNbfiut his permission. Taggart* xhowed his consideration of the attitude of fofir delegates when, wlthoat protest, he permitted them to vote for Cockrsn's moist plank. The four were A. L. Dennis. Rochester: Will Cronin. Terre Haute: Edward Gsynor, Mnnde, and Henry Downey, Hammond. Alyln Padgett, Washington: John McFadden, Rockville; Charles Murdock, Lafayette, and Gaynor, Downey and Cronin voted for the Irish liberty plank. The delegation stood solid with the national committee on other votes. Nona expressed dissatisfaction with the platform as finally adopted except Vice President Marshall, who said he agreed with It, but wished It had been condensed. . The general feeling of the delegation vgas that McAdoo would be nominated •Act Cox and Palmer had locked with approximately the same number of votes, oentfruerrt being that the votes would break from Palmer first. Considerable surprise wss expressed over the fact that nearly every date without a candidate gave McAdoo votes, showing his strength to be general. Desperate efforts to form a coalition against McAdoo brought no unanimity as to bis opponent and through Inability to agree on any one candidate to oppose McAdoo his opponents are believed to b unable to check the tide that has set In his way.

Ahnk! Z-Z-Z! Ahnk! JLk2iS£l§E A rattling sound that resembled firing by far-off Infantry, then a deep rumbling ending In a noise like a factory whistle, attracted the attention of Lieut. Woollen and Serg. Marrem at 4 o’clock this morning. The officers were In an automobile on the Burdsal parkway. As they rounded a turn In the boulevard they diacovered the source of the strange notsoe—they came from an automobile parked on the boulevard, and In that car the police say they found two men and two women, all negroes, asleep. The noises were snores, according to the police. Ed Porter, 38. 742 North California street, wss arrested on the charge of operating a blind tiger and driving on the left side of the street. The car waa parked on the wrong side of the street, but Porter denied that he owned a bottle of "white mule” whisky which the police say was in the car. Jtike McGuire. 22, so the negro gave h!a name, was charged with drunkenness; and the two women with vagrancy.

Large downtown shops are planning to Increase their forces each Friday and Saturday, In order that all orders may be filled. The filling of telegraph orders by outof town florists has heen a large factor In the adoption of the Sunday closing plan. It Is said that tomorrow will be the first time in forty years for some of the downtown shops to b closed on Sunday.

Bryan Betters ‘Crown of Thorns’ Speech, But Oratory Is Futile

Commoner Sways Audiences at Will, Then Is Forced to Background. Bv MARLE.V E. FEW. SAN FRANCISCO, July 3—Scenes in the convention hall today were as unlike those of yesterday as the*stoek exchange Is unlike a Billy Sunday tabernacle. Yesterday the convention possessed a spiritual quality, under the magic spell of Bryan, the evangelist, and Bourke Cockran of Tammrfiy, consummate actor, brilliant In debate, lovable for his Irish blarney, who rendered within an hours space an argument concerning personal liberty, in reference to a man’s right to drink light wines and beer of his own manufacture in his own home, which is sure to take its place In permanent records as a classic in. debating, f Many declare that Bryan’s peroration surpassed his famous ‘jeross of gold and crown of thorns” speech which gave him his first nomination. As they counted ballots today the delegates still still tingled with memories of that clash of Intellects on this stage in the late hours of yesterday and lest the words would be lost in ths convention

BRYAN EFFORT AT ’FRISCO HIS VALEDICTORY Commoner No Longer Politician, Just a Splendidly Eloquent Preacher. CHEER HIS PAST CAREER By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD. SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.—William Jennings Bryan is soon going to pack up with the rest of us and going home. What he takes back with him will be mostly memories. For the first time since that golden day when he hit the American people right in the center o ftheif imaginations and as a silver-tongued stranger won the nomination for the presidency, he has failed to dominate his party’s convention. The years do strang things. Today that man, who five conventions ago rose In all his youthful might and drew forth tributes that rocked the very t'nited States, stood on the platform, a hale and smiling old man, no longer a politician, but only a splendidly eloquent preacher. And when his sermons were ended his cocgregathyi rose and with an enthusiasm that came from the heart, spent a good half hour in cheers and songs and : shouting. In showing the hearty old man i that the past was not forgotten. And he, who In other days had experl- ' enced_ah the thrills that can come to a man who has the adulation of the crowds, stood on the platform wiping the tears from his eyes with one hand and holding a great bouquet of flowers In the other.

SALUTATORY HEARD IN 1R96. We had heard the valedictory of the great American whose salutatory of 1806 was still fresh lb our minds. In spite of the little—lndeed. 1 may safely say, nothing—that he gained In this convention, no man here worked so hard as Bryan. Always smiling and rejoicing In th conflict, he put In from twenty to twentytwo hours a day during convention week I watched him purposely during ths week to see what prodigies of work be might accomplish. He came to this convention to conquer Wilson. He goes, with Wilson tinconquered. From the very first it wss apparent to everybody that Bryan would not be able to dictate to ths party what candidate should bs chosen. ~ With his own siste delegation divided, he could not hope to dominate the nomination. He chose to put the battle on other grounds. There were few things beslds the nomtantion that he conld start a fight about. One of these was the dry plank; the other Issues he chose were decidedly side issues. PLANNED HOW TO GAIN GOALS. For hours and hours after he arose at the St. Francis hotel early In the morn lng he would meet with old friends and plan with them how to gain the goals be had set for himself. He nTer bre"kfasted alone. • He had secured a place on the platform committee and It was In the committee rooms that be made his response to Wilson's challenge. He demanded that his Ideas be put in the platform. Carter 11. Glass, representing Wilson, met Bryan's attack. In conferences. In committee sessions, by means of scouts and messengers and (Continued on Page Two.)

Ewbank, judge of the Marlon county circuit court, will be appointed a member of the supreme court to succeed Justice Lawson >l. Ilarvey, who died recently.

uproar stenographic records of them are herewith reproduced. When he was discussing war, Bryan said in reference to constitutional provisions which make It easy to enter war “I am not willing to take responsibility for what may occur. I, like the gentlemen, believe iir a God. Some day I shall stand before that judgment bar of God aud when I arrive there there shall be no blood upon my mind of people ’who were slaughtered while F talked politics.” SECOND CLIMAX IS WITHOUT WARNING. The second climax came when Bryan was speaking about the treaty. He began in low, confidential tones: ‘‘My friends, you can not call me the enemy of Woodrow Wilson. Why, It was my treaty,” he continued In conversational style, “that he took to Paris, and I have helped him to become immortal by giving the world a peace plan.” He spoke these last words slowly and with ponderous effect. “And, my friends,” hi continued, giving little warning by bis attitude of the crashing effect he was preparing to deliver in the next breath, “my friends, If I could get ratification without reservation and give to Woodrow Wilson the honor (Continued on.

AUDITORIUM, SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.—Keenly expectant of seeing a candidate nominated by noon, the delegates to the democratic national convention was called to order at 9:47 o’clock today to resume the balloting which was suspended last night with William G. McAdoo leading the field. The name McAdoo was the most heard about the hall as the delegates gathered. Among the uninstructed delegates, who form 80 per cent of the! convention, there was little doubt expressed but that the president’s son-' in law will “go over’’ in today's voting. Among the others, particularly among the proponents of Gov. Cox and Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, there were whisperings of agreements which had been reached at night conference, but specific information* was lacking. . If the managers of other candidates had succeeded In getting together to stop the McAdoo movement, that fact was not generally known to the delegates. , ,

Discussion was devoted principally to ‘‘how lon|f"lt will take." Various estimates were offered and predictions made. The most sanguine of McAdoo’s supporters did not expect a winner to be developed under six ballots. Other predictions ran np to higher numbers, but there were a few brave enough to prophesy a deadlock. , Most of the delegates here frankly want to go home tonight. They want to clean up today's session. make a few Anal tourist purchases and use* the reservations on outgoing trains which they have hung grimly on to for a week Many state delegations held lastminute meetings at their hotels and were delayed in arriving. The galleries filled more rapidly. PRAYER CALLS FORTH SECOND. Rev. James L. Gordon of the First j Congregational church, San Francisco, [ Stave the Invocation. The minister prayed for International | thought* In the convention and quoted i Tennyson’s line or. “the parliament of tiutrf the federation of the world,” maa(ug a plea so- the league of nations. The prayer was interrupted by a shout of ‘‘good’’ ns the chaplain asked divine old for President Wilson. After the prayer cam- the mighty tones of tlie organ, pealing the “Star-Spangled Banner” as the great throng stood, many singing. Chairman Cummings of the national committee came forward with a telegram In his hand ready to read It when order was restored. Cummings read President Wilson's reply to the message of greetings sent him by the convention. There was a tense silence, delegates leaning eagerly forward in their seats, as Cummings started reading, very slowly. pausing after each sentence. Spectators were still arriving in the galleries at this period. There was subdued handclapping at Intervals. SHORT BIBST OF HANDCLAPPING. At Wilson's prediction of “victory after victory" for the party, there was a short burst of handelapplng, principally on the floor. The band struck un "Hall to the Chief" at the end of the message and the delegates stood up and cheered for a few seconds. The convention was called to order and roll call of states began at 10:07. There was a lot of confuslon*and gaveling. while Robinson roared for order. The galleries were still only partly filled as the session started. It was evident that all of the delegations had not arrived, as there were many vacant seats on the floor.

McADOO WILL WIN, PREDICTS GLASS By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. SAN FRANCISCO. July 3—lt will he McAdoo and I say about the seventh ballot.” Senator Carter Glass (Va.), said today. After a feverish night following a hectic yesterday three candidate this morning seemed to have anywhere .from a good to a fighting chance to wake up tomorrow, the Fourth of July, the democratic nominee for the presidency of the United States. These three In the order of their chances arc: William Gibbs McAdoo. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer. Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio. Former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo _>’as the big favorite In the betting as the delegates began to arrive at the Auditorium to begin the second day of balloting. His friends predicted a gain of some thirty votes on the first ballot—the third counting from the start last night—and approximately the same on the fourth. Following that a considerable increase Is expected with his nomination following on the fifth or sixth ballot. The supporters of Attorney-General Palmer and Gov. Cox, to the contrary, claim everything Is going precisely as they wish and that they are not terrified by the fact that McAdoo led In the two ballots of last night. LAST EFFORT TO STOP McADOO. It is known that a last desperate effort Is under way today to check the advance of the McAdoo hosts. Caucuses and conferences were scheduled last night In a final attempt to ferret out ways and means to form a coalition of some kind to put over one of the leaders now, in the race, and, falling that, to lead out the prancing dark horse and send him in a winner under the nomination sweepstakes wire. It is understood, however, that these efforts met with little success. Nothing mere than a very casual understanding was reached, it was said, to boost each other's game, while scotching the McAdoo boom. So frail was this entente that it was deemed of little practical uso when it came to the rough and tumble needs of the day. William J. Bryan, it is now quite clear, Is no longer feared. The day when the war horse of the democratic party could control the party and cot\ld make or
