Groomers of all the dark horses Who .think they, have chances, agreed that their best strategy was to lay back and let the Smith and McAdoo people ride it out before they began their own drives, Efforts were made during the night to get Virginia and Arkansas to join the McAdoo standard, while the McAdoo managers had the ad- vantage of holding Missour!, Missis sipp! and Oklahoma. The- negotia- tions were unsuccessful, Virginia was not willing to leave Senator Glass until her delegates were bet- ter satisfied they could join a win- ner; Arkansas was solid for Sena- tor Robinson so long as he wished to hold it, but it developed that the Arkansas delegation was not ready to join some one else. Mississippi, Missour! and Okla- boma had been held in the McAdoo column by slender margins under the unit rule. Today's session was called to start at 10 o'clock and Chairman Walsh had announced. balloting would begin promptly at that hour. It did not, however, and the dele- gates places were sparcely settled when the hour came. The floor leaders and convention | managers were looking tired and fagged and so was everybody else but the delegates who have not been doing anything so far but vote when their names are calle At the outset. of today's business the convention was within two ballots’ of the 44 ballot record at San Francisco and within four of the 46 ballot record at Baltimore, which so far holds the ribbon for all Democratic convention history, with the single exception of the con- vention of 1860 which nominated Douglas by taking 57 ballots, It was plain that a new reeord was to be made today in Madison Square Garden. ARKANSAS CUTS McADOO'S TOTAL McAdoo's total went down on the forty-third ballot today because Okla- homa with 20 votes jumped out of his column and joined the forces of Senator Robinson of Arkansas. Senator Glass today released the twenty-four Virginia delegates from their pledges to him, but the delega- tion decided to continue voting for him until they could agree where to 50. At 10:30 Chairman Walsh rapped for order. Reverend John E. Hein- del of the English Evangelical Lutheran church of Jersey City offered the morning. prayer. ‘The clerk went to the roll call for the forty-third time, The first change came in Florida where the single vote which had been cast to Underwood went to Ralston. The Ralston people said they were ready to start thelr drive today after ‘the second ballot “if things look right.” The first breaks for the Indiana senator were expected to come from the middle west. Mis- sourl, Iowa and Oklahoma, where Thomas Taggart “had been making friends,” were being counted on by the Ralston people to contribute something. The Ralston people were claiming they had a hundred votes ready at once, Nebraska took one from Smith and entered it for Davis. The Mc Adoo people said they were ready to give Ralston a run, Taggart, more taciturn than ever, was hurrying noiselessly over the floor, saying a word here and there, Members of the old Indiana-Illinols-New York coalition seemed to be working in harmony again. The drop in the McAdoo total caused by the switch of Oklahoma to Robinson, threatened to have en effect. which might cost him some more, a8 Mississippi’ was threaten- ing to turn back to John W. Davis if McAdoo did not at once make some substantial gains. The forty-fourth ballot produced no nominee as it did in San Francisco four years ago.

As there was again no nomination on the 4#rd ballot, the roll call was resumed for the 44th ballot. That was the one on which Cox was nominated in San Francisco four years ago. Tilinots, still scattered her vote among the field, and took a vote from Dayis of Kansas, giving it to Senator Edwards, formee governor of New Jersey. In the 45th ballot the Tilinols dele- gation took the vote cast previously for Edwards of New Jersey and gave it back to Governor Davis of Kansas. In. Maine there was a change. Two votes were taken trom Underwood and given to John W. D: Vir- Taggart, still working about the floof shaping up the Raiston forces, said “I want them all. to have their run, Others sald they were lIny- ing back to see what the others Were doing. The most common ex pression among the delegates was: “We don't know where to go.” Senator Owen of Oklahoma was asked by a friend for “the low down.” “Dissolution {s rapidly approach- ing,” said the senator. The convention then went into the 4éth ballot and tied the ballot record with Baltimore, where Wood- row Wilson was nominated tn 1912. At the rate the balloting had been going it seemed headed for the 67 ballot record of the convention of 1860 which nominated Douglass. On the 46th, in, Maine, Davis: Jost a half vote and McAdoo gained a half. In Nebraska, McAdoo gained one and Ritchie lost one. North Carolina passed, Indicating a movement for a change. McAdoo gained a vote in North Carolina on the reecall;. Underwood gained a half vote, taking them from Davis. GLASS THROWS HIS SUPPORT TO McADOO Having passed the Baltimore rec ord, the convention went on the forty-seventh ballot, It developed that Senator Glass, releasing his del- egates, advised his friends to vote for McAdoo. The antl-McAdoo men A. proposal that the Democratic national committee take affairs in hand and end the deadlock by getting McAdoo and Smith to withdraw ai- multaneously was blown up when it got as far the Smith people. They announced that they had dug in and were ready to stay until the McAdoo people were ready to give up the seige. As the convention went into the 48th ballot McAdoo delegates: dis- played a personal letter from their candidate, urging them to stick for while. At the start of the fifty-fourth rol! ca!l Arizona took one away from Ralston and guve it to Franklin Roosevelt of New York,, field mar- shal of the Smith forces and the party’s nominee four years ago for vice president. During the fifty fourth ballot the leaders are understood to have reached an agreement to adjourn at the’ end of tho roll call until 8 o'clock tonight. On the fiftieth ballot Nebraska took one from Robinson and gave {t to McAdoo and North Carolina took two from MeAdoo giving ong to ston and a half each to Underwood and Davis of West Virginia. As the poll of the Oklahoma dele gation proceeded, it doveloped that again cast her vote for McAdoo for Missourt 36. MeAdoo Montana 8: McAdoo 7; Smith 1, on the delegation in the majority contend that the delegation is !n structed for Glas# and he cannot re-| lease jt. They decided to permit a breakup at this time. the row was over a proposal to switch ¢rom Robinson to Ralston. Senator Owen, among the delegates at large, still voted for Robinson but a number of others, including most of the women delegates were} for Ralston.

Infant mortality ‘statisties for 1923, pub- lished today by the American Child Health Association of New York City, show that 102 bables out of every 1000 born in the two Wyo- ming cities of more than 10,000 died during thelr first year.
