city m PHONE COT DEMANDED Mayor Orders Department Heads to Make Elimination in Retaliation for Rate Boost —Courthouse Question Considered, “By golly we’ll fight the telephone company if we have only one phone left in each department,’’ declared Mayor Shank today. Shank ordered department heads to cut off every telephone which possibly can be dispensed with, as a result of the increase in business rates. Since city hall goes on measured service schedule. Controller Joseph L. Hogue has ordered that employes make outgoing calls only wl.on absolutely necessary and then only upon city business. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary' of the hea.th board, said the system whereby sanitary officers must report regularly makes it imposible to cut out any phones In this department. Other jieads said they believed they could make some eliminations. County commissioners conducted a survey at the courthouse, but said they found no phones which officials were willing to dispense with. The officials, however, gave instructions that phones were to be used for official business only and frowned whenever outsiders asked to use them. Commissioners still are con sidering the question. Business firms are considering means of fighting the increase, which the phone company made without so much as consulting the public service commission, after Federal Court had given it an injunction permitting it to do so.

SSe 10 MON Taggart Only Waiting for Psychological Moment to Put Hoosier’s Name Over as Democratic Nominee, is Report, When the psychological moment comes Thomas Taggart will "lift the lid” and R - Ralston l&oom will swing into life at the Democratic national convention in New York.

And the psychological moment Is likely to come when A1 Smith and William G. McAdoo are eliminate! and the John W. Davis whirl faded outr It was said.

Vigil at Radio At the Ralston home today, the family circle, still augmented by newspaper men and relatives, again took up the daily vigil at the radio. The Senator took an early walk about the farm and later secluded himself in his study with his secretary, Richard T. Buchanan and his stenographer. Meredith Nicholson, Hoosier author who jus* returned from the convention, conferred with Ralston Tuesday night. He confirmed telephone conversations between Ralston and Taggart and Fred Van Nuys, Ralston’s law partner, who placed j the Senator’s mune In nomination at the convention, that Indiana leaders ] were only waiting for the proper time to put Ralston over. Nicholson said that leaders from other States were in constant conference with Taggart and that the In- ■ diana chieftain was the one big man. “Watch Taggart” j “Watch Taggart,” Nicholson said, i was the whispered word. Ralston was greately Interested | j this morning in the McAdoo demon- 1 j stration when Mississippi swung her j twenty votes from Davis back into j the McAdoo column and Oklahoma followed suit. The Senator merely said: “Well, that's quite a demonstration, isn't it?” Ralston appeared today more like a candidate than at any other time since his name lias appeared before the conversation. Although he maintained to newspaper men that he is j not expecting the nomination, re- 1 marks here and there led observers i to believe he is rather optimistic over j the outcome.

Supporters of Californian Renew Efforts to Stampede Convention as Gains Are Made, but Smith Votes Stand Fast. By ROBERT J. BENDER United Press Staff Correspondent MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July 2. Under his personal direction from headquarters just across the street from Madison Square Garden, William G. McAdoo is this afternoon making a determined drive in the Democratic national sonvention to bring about his nomination for the presidency. After determied work on the part of floor managers McAdoo swung Mississippi’s twenty votes into lrs column on the thirty-fourth ballot and Oklahoma returned to the McAdoo standard with twenty more, raising the Californian’s total to 145. But on the thirty-fifth ballot Oklahoma switched back to Senator Owen and McAdoo’s vote stood 439V2- McAdoo lost more ground on the thirty-sixth, receiving 43 votes. Smith polled 323; Davis, 107; Ralston, 33. The solid Smith vote from New York split on the thirtyseventh ballot, giving McAdoo 2 votes. This raised McAdoo’s total to 444 votes and cut Smith to 321.

Demonstrations Staged The change in the voting on the thirty-fourth ballot was accompanied by a rousing demonstration on the part of the McAdoo delegations, but this vote of the 145 was still thirty-four votes short of what McAdoo polled on the first ballot Tuesday, and he has a considerable way to gain his initial strength. Mississippi has agreed to stand by McAdoo for five ballots in order to give him a chance to show just what he can do. After five ballots Mississippi delegates will be free to go elsewhere if they wish. Governor Smith's managers were still smiling confidently. They pointed out that McAdoo was gathering no new strength whatever and the increase in his vote today was the return of voters he had on the first ballot. The McAdoo people were putting up a desperate fight. Locked in his room in the Madison Square Hotel. McAdoo sent for his floor leaders and WHAT NEXT? On the thirty-sixth ballot at the Democratic convention a delegate from North Dakota cast his vote for Edward L. Doheny of Teapot Dome oil scandal fame. chairmen of delegations pledged to him, and there was a constant stream of followers moving in and out of the conference room. Meantime Governor Smith was in the Manhattan Club, next door to the Madison Square Hotel. He spent his time chatting with friends and receiving reports from the floor and manifested no concern. While the convention was much stirred up over the increase in the McAdoo vote, nothing has happened as yet to change the cold politics of the situation. This is, that McAdoo and Smith are apparently hopelessly deadlocked. A report was in circulation that National Chairman Hull planned to take the platform late this afternoon and appeal to the warring factions to try and get together. He intended, it is reported, to point to the possibility of victory for the Democrats this year and urge the leaders not to go too far into their tight and run the chances of arousing the animosities that would endanger the party in the election. A part of this reported plan would then be for Hull to suggest an adjournment until 10:30 tonight, to enable the leaders to get together in a series of conferences in an attempt to agree upon a man who can be nominated. Ralston Gains Favor Senator Ralston of Indiana was found to be the compromise pick of an increasing number of delegations as voting was resumed today. There was little change on the first ballots taken. The thirty-first, the first today, showed no vital change over the last taken Tuesday night. McAdoo got 41512 votes, exactly the same as on the thirtieth. Smith held 32 2 46- Davis polled 12716 and Ralston 32. The situation on the thirty-second ballot was practically the same: McAdoo, 415%; Smith. 322; Davis, 128; Ralston, 32. Michigan furnished the high light on the thirty'-third ballot by returning to Senator Ferrih, casting 30 votes for him. This reduced both Smith's and McAdoc’s total by 11 votes, and brought the Californian’s total down to 40416 and leaving Smith with 31016. The final ballot taken by r the con(Tum to Tage 11)
