Of three contests, the one involving’ efforts to give Senator Reed of Missouri a seat with the delegation, fronr that state, promised more than routine interest. An effort to place Reed on the floor of the convention, although the Missouri state convention rejected him as a delegate, is expected and because of his attitude, toward the administration during sen- ate battles over the peace treaty, it was said to be possible that strong re- sistance would be met before the com- | mittee. Overnight developments showed two matters approaching more definite shape. One is the mysterious, persist- *|}nt boom for the nomination of Wil- Nam G.“McAdoo, even against his flat declaration that he is not a candidate. and the conflict as to a prohibition en- | forcement plank in the platform, Me- Adoo adherents are said to be shaping their plans to withhold his name from the balloting through the early stages. They said they would not present his name unless the expected deadlock be- tween Palmer and Cox should develop. Then McAdoo probably would be put forward to break the deadlock with the assurance of considerable strength at the start. There developed yesterday a sudden movement. to ignore the question of prohibition entirely in the platform: Suggestions of this nature’ came to Chairman Cummings of the national committee from camps representing va- rious shades of opinion, ranging from bone dry to almost as completely wet. ‘These feelers toward a harmony ‘pro= gram are not clear enough, however, to show that all parties to the contest had arrived at the conclusion that such @ course would be wise. It was sug; W. J. Bryan plans to follow on his ar- rival. He is reported having determined to carry the war into the enemy’s coun- try in meeting the wet drive at plat- form conferences which began a weelt ago, and offer an emphatic bone dry declaration on his own account.
