It will be afternoon before the ballot- ing begins anf whether a nomination can be effected before the session ad- journs is a matter of speculation. If a deadlock should develop, the conven- tion will adjourn till tomorrow to per- mit the leaders to r ch a compromise agreement on the ticket. In any event it Is not likely that the candidate for vice president will be nominated until tomorrow. The contest between Wood and Low- den had reached an extremely hented stage by last night. The Wood man- agers were being accused of attempting to win over Lowden delegates by unfair means.
