COMPROMISE MAY - CONTROL AJORTY Must Have Unqualified Back- ing of All Who Freed Delegates, However. BREACH IS WIDENED Californian’s Firm Stand and At- tack on Rivals Bodes Il for Unity. v BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Staft Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, July 7. — William Gibbs McAdoo, addressing several hundred delegates last night at the Commodore Hotel, practically two weeks after the opening of the dead- locked Democratic national tion, assured his supporters that he himself and they themselves were the only hope of the Democratic par- ty. These not his exact words —but they convey the meaning back ©f his talk. Before Mr. McAdoo was introduced several other speakers, all McAdoo adherents, delivered ad- dresses, all declaring for a last-ditch fight for Mr. McAdoo's nomination. One of them, Claude N. Sapp of South Carolina, practically read out o©f the party the Democrats of the hortheastern states, insisting that the hope of democracy lies in the south and the west. The meeting, which was called to reinstill gates fighting spirit on the eve of the reconvening of the convention, and which was addressed by Mr. Mc- Adoo after he had nefused to sign an agreement entered into by all the other candidates, including Gov. Smith, to break the deadlock, showed a bitter spirit which bodes little good for the chances of the Democratic Party in November. The speeches made might well have been delivered by Democratic spellbinders attacking the arch foe—the Republican party. But when it is remembered that the attacks were aimed at fellow Demo- crats, it doesn’t look so good for the party conven- were undoubtedly in the dele- See Majority Vote. Mr. McAdoo =znd supporters have insisted that tere would be no withdrawal while Mr. McAdoo was the leader in number of votes cast in the convention. They have insisted that he will rece a majority of the votes cast in the convention, sooner or later, and that when he does, he then should be delivered the Demo- cratic_nomination At the conferences held by called “harmony committee” since the adjournment of the convention Sat- urday, all_the candidates, except Mr. McAdoo, fifteen in number, reached an agreement on procedure, proposing that all delegutes shall be released from their instructions and pledges, and allowed to vote as they see fit. These candidates have controlled a majority of the convention up to date. Mr. M doo has never been able to get more than 530 votes, or 20 short of a majority. Check Is Obvious. One way to checkmate Mr. McAdoo 1s obvious. If these candidates should unite on one man for the presidential nomination, and throw all their votes to him, that man would receive a ma- jority of the votes cast. It is even probable that with such concerted action, the compromise candidate would receive between 600 and 700 votes on the first or second ballot. Mr. McAdoo's claims for considera- tion as the leading vote getter in the convention then would vafiish. His the so- SPECIAL NOTICES. HEDGES TRIMMED, LAWNS CARED FOR; weeds cleaned off of lots by F.

Stubbornness General. But in order to bring about this situation, the fiftecn candidates and their majorities must be able to agree on a compromise candidate, and the delegates back of them must be willing so to vote. Jt must be said that up to date Mr. McAdoo has not had a monopoly of stubbornness in this convention. Gov. Smith and all the other candidates hnave held on like grim death, hoping that out of the jam something would come their way. If there is to be a compromise can- didate he must be a “dry.” it is said. This on the surface would appear to eliminate Smith and Underwood. and vet the Underwood forces here are mong_the most insistent that their man shall be given the nomination. In fact, they are confidently expect- ing to inherit the strength of Gov. Smith. Castigatex Wets. During the McAdoo meeting last a white-haired old lady from Mississippi, one of the delegates, de- livered a phillipic against the “wets,” ng the women of the country would never support a nominee who could be considered the least bit opposed to national prohibition. She took the occasion in this connection to de- nounce Senator La Follette of Wi consin, who just accepted the nomi- nation' to run on a third ticket for the presidency. Senator La Follette, she declared, was a negligible factor Dbecause he had always been a “wet.” No woman, she said, would support him. Not the least interesting part of Mr. McAdoo's remarks, although it was subordinated to his declaration that he did not intend to withdraw his name from the race, was his frank statement in support of the foreign relations plank of the Democratie platform, which pledges a referendum on the league of nations after the November elections are held. Mr. Mc- Adoo insisted that the democratic party had been most wise in this move to “take the league of nations question out of politic; In this position he diametrically opposed to Newton D. Baker of Orio and others, who have nsisted that the Democratic platform should contain a pledge to put the United States into the league if the party is successful in the coming elections. The McAdoo address last night merely served to emphasize the ad- visability of having the contenders for the nomination remain away from the convention city so as to allow the delegates themselves to settle all questions that come before them, it was said by delegates today who have been aroused over the frequent prodding they have received from the candidates now on the spot. IRON GRIP IS SHOWN ON CONVENTION’S COURSE BY McADOO STRATEGY (Continued from First Page.) finds himself this situation and get away, letting the future take care of itself. McAdoo though bitterly blamed by his foes for his obstinacy in refusing to accept the proffered compromise and held responsible for the plight of the party, is not feazed. He is intent upon securing the nomination and is pursuing his objective merci- lessly and vigorously. The Democratic national commit- tee, which under the instructions of the convention last Saturday, had undertaken to assume the helm of the convention, was dismayed today at its failure to set a course lead- ing to a break in the deadlock. Its members were at their wits' ends seeking further expedients. McAdoo “Real Boss.” The spectacle is now being pre- sented of a real boss in the party. There has been criticism of lack of leadership and absence of a strong dominating figure in the convention. The party seemingly has a boss, all right, and one with a mailed fist. While Mr. McAdoo is not actually in the delegate body, he is physically close at hand and his spirit is con- trolling at this time. At the outset this morning it seemed that the day's proceedings would possibly include a try-out for Senator Robinson of Arkansas and possibly a sprint for Senator Glass of Virginia. The McAdoo forces ap- peared to be very much heartened by the attitude of their leader, dis- played at last night's meeting in the Commodore, and they started the day in a spirit of grim determination to push every advantage to the utmost. — — BARING HELD INSANE.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. Release of Delegates by 15 Candidates Opens Way to Break Kill Unit and Two-Thirds Rules, McAdoo’s Plan to End Deadlock Counter Proposal to Other Candidates’ Offer to Withdraw Is Rejected. By “Peace” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 7.—William G. McAdoo last night accepted the pro- posal of the fifteen other presiden- tial candidates that all release their delegates, but with the proviso that the unit rule and two-thirds rule both be abrogated. This proviso was later objected to by the conference of leaders. Mr. McAdoo further stipulated that with the resumption of voting, the low man be dropped on each suc- ceeding ballot until a nomination is made. He also stipulated that “each of the delegates present from each state shall be entitled to cast his pro_rata vote of the delegates from such states as are absent from the convention.” Mr. McAdoo's counter-proposal, pre- sented in the form of a letter ad- dressed jointly to Chairman Hull of the Denocratic National Committee and Senator Walsh of Montana, chair- man of the convention, was as fol- entlemen: ‘The agreement just submitted to me, signed by the various candidates before the convention, for releasing their Gelegates from any pledge, in- struction or obligation of any nature whatsoever, in so far as their can- didacy for the Democratic nomina- tion for President is concerned, does not, in my opinion, 6ffer a solution of the unfortunate deadlock in the convention. We must, therefore, adopt a practical plan which will end the deadlock, no matter what effect it may have on any individual can- didacy. “1 therefore propose that. in addi tion to releasing all delegates, as proposed in agreement submitted, the unit rule in this convention be ab- rogated: that the maljority rule be Substituted for the two-thirds rule in nominating a candidate for President and Vice President; that each of the delegates present from each state shall be entitled to cast his pro rata of the vote of all the delegates from such states as may have delegates ab- sent from the convention; that after Convention Sidelights NEW YORK, July 7.—The economy plank in the Democratic party's plat- form may have to be carried out at once so far as the party's convention is concerned. Those in charge of the financial ap- propriation for the convention went over their accounts during the Sun- day lull and fourid that unless more cash was found some time before the beginning of today's session the serv- ices of the band which has been en- tertaining the delegates and galleries through the seventeen sessions would have to be dispensed with. Operation of the powerful but ex- pensive Klieg lights also will be stop- ped in the interests of economy and to the disadvantage of photographers and spotlight seekers. The Sunday lull also was used by some of the delegates to ascertain the state of their “cash-on-hand” ac- count and to wire home as to the standing of their bank balances. An unofficial committee which un- dertook to ascertain if there were delegates who needed money in order to stay, and, if so, how many, has found few unable to take care of Maj. John S. Cohen, na- tional committeeman from Georgia and publisher of the Atlanta Journal, has started a fund in Atlanta to take care of the Georgia delegation, and similar movements have been report- ed ready for inauguration in other states if the need arises. The delegates from the southern states appear to be more exercised over the treatment accorded them by the galleries than over the Increas- ing expenses. Gov. Cameron Morri- son of North Carolina is particularly concerned over the matter. “The south will not soon forget New York people for insulting them in the .Democratic convention,” he was quoted by the New York World as saying. “Southern people have bought millions of dollars’ worth of goods from New York merchants an- nually for years. They never ex- pected to have their women jeered at because they were from the south. Our delegation is on one of the back tiers of seats, and the language hurl- ed at us from the galleries could not have come from any other than a tough element. The New York delegates had no part in this.” Last Ballot Saturday SEVENTY-SEVENTH BALLOT.

WOMEN MOST CONSTANT McAdoo Lines to Be Held Until Christmas, They Say, and Men Follow Suit. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. NEW YORK, July 7.—A democratic national convention running into its third week is a political novelty which few of the old-timers alive today ever expected to see. Demo- cratic gatherings often have gone into the second week, but to lap over into the third was a distinction re- served for the snarl of 1924 at Madison Square Garden. This unprecedented state of affairs, as the delegates found it Monday morning, has had a bewildering effect upon nearly every one connected with the convention. The assembly has gone beyond the charted course of its predecessors— gone into unknown seas of political expedience or political futility, and thus far no captain or commander has appeared strong enough to take the bridge and bring the storm-tossed craft of the democracy safely into port. It was perfectly apparent today as the sessions were resumed that no| way out of the difficulty was in view because it was realized that William Gibbs McAdoo, if he continues to pursue that course, can absolutely prevent any other candidates from winning the nomination. Mr. Me- Adoo’s delegates are a loyal lot. They have proved far more earnest and steadfast than even the closest ad- | visers of the Californian had dared to hope. Reports that the McAdoo delegates would _not “stick” were currenm everywhere before the convention be- gan. This alleged luke-warmness of the McAdoo followers was the hope of the Smith adherents as well as the long string of dark hor: . But it proved a vain hope, indeed, for the further they have gone the more stubborn the McAdoo voters have be- come. There is a set to their jaw which discourages any effort at dick- ering on the floor. The McAdoo people, especially the women, have taken on the spirit of real crusadcrs. Women _delegates have marched through the streets waving flags and banners and chant- ing that they are willing to stay here until Christmas to stand by Mc- Adoo. While the women have been singing _and pledging their faith anew, the McAdoo men have been shouting, “Hold the line!" So long as this spirit prevails and so long as Mr. McAdoo declines to release his delegates there would seem to be no way of making a nom- ination along the old lines of the democracy. What new-fangled ideas may solve the problem no one can foresee. But it has been well said that the way out of the diffi- culty is not the changing of the rules, but the rise to power of some leader, some personality. There has been much talk that if the favorite sons or the trailing can- didates would retire from the field, the issue could be resolved as b tween Mr. McAdoo and Gov. Smith, but an analysis of the voting as it ended on Saturday failed to substan- tiate these suggestions. To most observers it has been ap- parent from the first that neither Mr. McAdoo nor Gov. Smith could win without the switch of votes from one camp to the other. On the last three ballots Saturday Mr. McAdoo received 513 votes. Gov. Smith averaged around 368. There were 216 votes scattered among fa- vorite sons and dark horses, If Mr. McAdoo had received all of*the dark horse vote he would have had but 729 and would have been two votes shy of the necessary two-thirds of the 1097 delegates present or ac- counted for. Of course, he would not have received all of these votes if the trailers had retired. Many of the votes would have gome to Gov. Smith and left the deadlock more fast and more bitter than ever. The suggestion that the convention be adjourned to some other city and at some future date, with a time for cooling off in between, was seriously considered by the leaders today. Some one has figured it out that the show should be taken on tour, doing one night stands through the east and central west. It is realized that the transportation costs will be en- tirely too great to extend the tour all the way to the Pacific coast. Ever if the tour idea is abandoned, something may be done in the way of charging admission to the remaining sessions’ at Madison Square Garden, provided, of course, that any one can be found who would be willing at this stage of the game to pay to get ir. Something has got to be done for the relief of poor Tex Rickard, who is losing $1,000 a day every day the show continues in his garden. Maybe the convention could give a benefit session for “Tex.” This idea would go big_if Mr. McAdoo and Gov. Smith could be put on for a fast three rounds. The women of the convertion, who are blamed for the deadlock by some of the men who have been seeking a compromise, say it is nothing unusual for them to stick by taeir convictions. They say women always have been and always will be more constant thar men. From the outlook that greeted the delegates this bright Monday morn- ing it appeared that about as much time was to be consumed in discuss- ing ways and means of nominating a candidate this third week of the con- vention as gererally is required to complete the work of a Republican convention. .
