Cox. of Ohio, was nominated for the presidency by the democratic c -nentinn in the early hours of this morning after breaking a deadlock which held the convention tlii-enij ii forty-i. ur ballots. The end came tudden'y anel dramatically at 111 a. rn . at the cIofc of a n grit session which had "i itn?ssed the v ithdrawal of Atty. Gen. A. JlftcheM Palmer and the slow- beating down of Wm . Gibbs McAdoo. President Wilson's son-;n-lacv by rhrrr force of vote. NAMED DV ACCLAMATION The nomination was finally accomplished by acclamation at the end rf the forty-fourth ballot, and Gov. Co$ will go into the official records as the unanimous cho ce of his party. Actually, at the time of' his nomination, the Ohia governor had 712 cotes 01 15 '-j less than the required two-thirds of the convention vote. However, when the motion was made ! to make his nomination by acclamation 1 there were half a dozen delegations clamoring for the recognition of Senator Joseph T. Robinson, the chairman, in order to register changes ia their votes, which if they had beea recorded, would have given him a substantial majority over the required twei-thirds . DELEGATES WERE TIRED OCT The end of the long gruelling; tight. j w hich had its beginning Friday night. found the delegates weary ana heavy eyed from lack of sleep. For nearly twelve hours they had sat in the hard seats of the auditorium keyed up to a high pitch of excitement, which had found outlet a score of times in mail. ncr e w racking demonstrations. Twenty-two ballots were taken during the day and it was not until Monday that any of theni gave promise of eicvloping a nominee. OM.Y Q.I EST IOW OF TIME On the forty-third ballot, after Falmer had announced his withdrawal from the race and released his delegates, it became apparent that Gov. Cex would be the nominee. It bocamo then, only a question of time. Two motions were made from the floor by jCAdec supporters to adjourn the con vention until noon today but each of them were howled down by Cox adherents. G"v. Cox polled 56$ votn on the forty-third ballot. It was the first that any of the e'andidatts in the more than two days and nights of constant balloting had received a majority vote. Between the forty-third and forty-fourth ballots the Cox people staged a memorable demonstration, a ritous procession, participated in by wearily delirious partisans, the scenes of which will live long in the memories of those .who witnessed them. GOT MAJORITIES FROM START The last ballot started by giving the Ohio governor majorities from the very start.
