Number of Ballots Promises to Break All Records FRIENDS SAY BRYAN MADE BAD MISTAKE Speech for McAdoo Held Only to Have Made Lines of Hatred Harder. NO RELIEF IN SIGHT Bitterness Over Religious Issue Seems to Make Compromise Impossible. BY G. GOULD LINCOL Staft Correspoudent of The Star. NEW YORK, July 'he Demo- cratic rational convention today en- ters upon its tenth day since the ses sions began still deadlocked. The number of ballots required to select a candidate promises to exceed the record set by the Baltimore conven- tion which nominated Woodrow Wil- son in 1912 on the forty-sixth ballot and that set at Francisco four vears ago when James M. Cox of Ohio was nominated on the forty-fourth ballot. The fact that the Democrats have succeeded in naming their candidates in spite of the two-thirds rule after such long contests gives hope to the present convention that it will ulti- mately reach a decision. But in no Democratic convention since 1860 has ther been such bitter- ness shown as in the present conven- tion, due principally to the religious and’ Klan _issues that have been raised. William Jennings Bryan, peace advocate, has sought in vain to smooth the troubled v The op- ponents of his candidate, W. G. M Adoo. insist that he sceking to throw too much “oil” on the party.

SMA NEW YORK, July 3.—More and more it has been borne in upon the Democrats that New York City is not an ideal place for a national conven- tion.

New York always has prid- od itself before on its fairness, its tolerance, ity hospitality.

Tha oratory on this roused the passions and | prejudices of the local people, and |they expressed their desires in the matter in no uncertain terms. The legitimate business of the con- vention has been scriously retarded by the noisiness and unruly conduct of the galleries and by the crowding and commotion on the floor.

NEW YORK, July 3.—Many who still belleved with Henry Van Dyke that woman's participation in politics gave the country only “twice as much of the same thing” witnessed an incident around the New York banner in the conven- tion hall yesterday which con- vinced them that at last the de- corum of the demonstration is made more exacting by the fem- inine presence. When a wild and protracted demonstration began to lose some of its woman participants, the floor managers of the candidate favored by the enthusiastic out- breakewere perturbed and began to seek the cause. They cheered for their man louder than ever and finally signaled for the band to offer a march, but it was of no avail. . The women quit the party. When the tumultuous gather- ing thinned, a kindly old gentle- n from South Carolina took the marchers’' leader to one side, placed his arm around his neck and whispered earnestly. “Pardon me, brother,” he said, “but your shirt is slightly out.” nels” for frying the sausages have constantly been added to the Garden equipment, and the price of the ani- mals has never varied from 10 cents. In the convention newspaper club, maintained by the New York World and the Baltimore Sun, the “doggles” have been served with the compli- ments of the two newspapers. Some folks insist that this contin- uous and alarming consumption of hot dogs accounts for all the growl- ing and barking heard in the conven- tion. The most sepulchral voice in the convention belongs to a long. tall Texan, who occasionally announces the vote of that delegation for Wil- liam Gibbs McAdoo. The voice always gets a hand. The delegate uses it in the convention with a smile. But if it were ever raised in anger it would strike terror to the soul. Volunteers constantly are being rushed W the chairman’s desk as re- lief workers for the reading @ad tally clerks. The con- fusion a®d crowding in the hall ‘have made e work of these officials ex- tremedy difficult and trying on the nerves. It is almost next to impos- sible for the clerks to hear the re- plies of the states, and in order to make themselves heard they have to stretch their voices to the limit. sepulchral voice from Texas has helped out on a number of occasions and it has been a godsend. Texas also has furnished the only real, re- liable “rebel vel heard in the con- vention. The author of this yell gives a whoop every time a vote is an- nounced for MéAdoo. What the Democrats apparently need are a few smoke-filled rooms in a headquarters hotel where they can get together and compose their dif- ferences as to candidates. The diffi- culty about the Democrats emulating the example of the Republicans. in this respect is that Mr. William Jen- nings Bryan does not smoke. And if Mr. Bryan is left out on anything he is going to get up on his hind legs in_the convention and how He has proved that on too many occasions to leave any doubt in the minds of the delegates. Some of these delegates very rudely ap- plauded on Wednesday, when Mr. Bryan said this might be the last national convention he would ever attend. These same delegates know that a Democratic convention without the commoner would be like “Ham- let” without the ghost Everybody knew the silly season in the convention had arrived when an undertaker delegate from North Dakota cast a ballot for Edward L. Doheny for president. The wheeze got a very thin laugh. ' “Give us McAdoo or we will make you take Bryan:" This threat was hurled at the con- vention by one of the Texas dele- gates during the disorder Wednesday afternoon.

Some of the McAdoo men predicted | that the Smith vote would not go over 470. While the Smith drive is on. they said, the McAdoo forces will be satisfled to hold their lines and await developments.

Add, he ! sald, the votes in any ballot of can- didates favored by the so-called “wets and reactionaries” and then total the votes of the “drys and progressives” and it will be found that the totals are about even. In the group of “wets and reactionaries” the McAdoo leader placed Smith, Underwood and Davis, | r group McAdoo, Glass and Ralston, while he divideg bétween the two groups the sixty votes given to Cox. It is this evenly balanced grouping, he thinks, that makes for a long deadlock, which Norman E. Mack has | said would not reach a solution until after the Fourth of July. There was a report today that the Smith forces, if they should reach an impasse. might give Underwood a trial. Underwood adherents through- out have maintained a hopeful and even confident attitude despite the fact that the balloting has added no strength to the Underwood standard.
