The jubilant delegates were only half through their demonstration when Chairman Walsh called them back to order to hear former Gov. McCorkle of West Virginia formally thank the con- vention -for its action. He assured the convention he had a worthy standard- bearer. He predicted that the animos ities of the convention would be forgotten and that the Democratic hosts would be united on election day under the leadership of Mr. Davis. Then Josephus Daniels, former retary of the Navy, was recognized. He proposed a recess b the nomina- tions for Vice President were taken up The convention ther s §:30 o'clock tonight. soon rec ‘Walsh Delays Action. b Mr. Daniels urged the rece: wisdom might follow wisdom every delegate have an to consider what candidate he weuld and opportunity choose. Immediately ~onvention gponded with roars of “Walsh, Walsh, Walsh!™ blushing chairman busily rapped for order, and despite his efforts, M. F. Igoe of the lilinois delegation, whom he declared out of order, placed him in nomination. When quiet W.’\fl.res‘ori‘d Cha Walsh told the convention he deeply sensible of the honor the con- vention had done him. but he begzed them to adjourn so that nothing migh! be decided in haste or Wwithout careful consideration. He urged the convention to ad- journ and come back at 8:30 tc ht to co der the vice presidential nomination. But the only answer he got was cries of “Walsh, Walsh.” It seemed as if every delegate in the convention was intent on nominating the senator for Vice Pr dent on the spot. But the chairman was de- termined not to be nominated then at any rate, and although a chorus of noes swept the hall on the adjournment resolution banged down the gavel and declared the convention adjourned. the re- The he New Contest Looms. haif awake, convention re- Weary and only Democratic national assembled today to gather up the pieces from last night's explosion and attempt to reassemble them into a national ticket. McAdoo support- ers were awaiting word of formal withdrawal from Gov. Smith before Proceeding to throw their strength elsewhere. The indications were for a contest between John W. Davis, who was riding a rising tide as the session adjourned early this morning, and E. T Meredith of lowa, former Secretary of Agricultural in President Wilson's cabinet, to whom McAdoo leaders were attempting to deliver ‘most of the McAdoo strength. At the begin- ning of the sessicn today tlere was an undercurrent indicating a burst for Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama whose supporters expected to draw strength from several states, ing New York, Ohio and Illinois. the Many Delegates Absent. It was in quite a different atmost phere that the convention met today. The marching, singing bands of Me- Adoo women, waving flags and in- toning that they intended to stay until Christmas for “Mack-ee-doo,” were absent. There were scores of empty chairs in the delegate and al- te-nate sections, and canvasses of their forces by delegation leaders showed that few of the delegations were up to full strength. The con- vention was running from today on- ward at the expense of the Demo- cratic national committee and the band in the loft, although still play- ing vigorously, was doing s6 at the expense of the mayor's committee. Apparently the musicians were still on full pay, for they tackled “Wil- liam Tell” for the forty-first time with enthusinsm and gusto. Meredith workers were busy on the floor carrying the word from the McAdoo people and the plans were for Georgia and Texas” which have been solid McAdoo delegations, to go for Meredith on the first ballot today. J. Davis Seeks Backing. Gov. Davis of Kansas was not con- vinced that he was out of it and was trying to recover his delegation from John W. Davis of West Virginia. The availability of a dirt farmer on the ticket was being discussed to his advantage. ‘When the remaining McAdoo woman delegates did come into the conven- tion they came noiselessly, but with some fight still left. They distributed leaflets pointing out that while Mr. McAdoo had released his delegates he had not actually withdrawn. “We will stand by him to the end,” said the women deflantly. Today's session began with a prayer by the Rev. William Wilkinson of Trinity. Church—*"the Bighop of Wall street.” s The first ballot of the day was the 101st of the copvention—an unheard of and undreamed ot record.

Davis continued to pick up a vote here and there as the voting pro- gressed through the 103d ballot, and when ennsylvania had been counted his total was close to 400. Enough votes were scattered against him, however, to prevent a nomination on that ballot unless votes of some dele- gates should be changed.

With the vote of Wisconsin Davis aled the highest vote McAdoo had poiled in the convention. Alaska carried Davis past 540, more than a mi rity « the convention. It was the first time that any candi- date attained a majority in the con- vention. It was the goal for which McAdoo had fought without effect on a hundred ballots At the conclusion of the roll call the chairman would entertain a mo- tion to make the nomination unani- mous. The general talk about the con- vention hall was that the vice presi- dency would be offered to Senator Walsh of Montana, the chairman of the convention. Towa changed to Davis. California changed its vote to <o its pro- portion for Davis, Illinois was ready to change. Seramble to Band Wagon. New York and delegation leaders all over the hall were on their feet clamoring for_ recognition to change their votes to Dav! Illinois changed 10 Dayis, making his total 639. Tnen New York gave him 60 more of her ninety, making the-Davis total 699. The hall was in an uproar, the Davis band wagon was moving with full momentum and everybody was scrambling to get on. Changes in votes piled in faster than the clerks could record them On the ninety-ninth ballot last night McAdoo had 353.5 votes and Smith had 353. On the next roll call, after his letter was read, McAdoo dropped to 190, while Smith held 351.5. Davis, whose total had been driven up from 68 at the—end of the day session to 210 on the ninety-ninth ballot, was in second place with 203.5. o Meredith, whe had been receiving a favorite son vote trom Iowa from the eighty-sixth ballot through the ninety-fifth and had then lost it back to McAdoo during the.evening drive, returned on the ninety-nimth with 37 and advanceq on the one hundredth to 76.5.

Eryan of Ne- braska 2 and Maj. Berry 1. That was the situation, on'the sur- face, with seventeen candidates on the list—twenty-six received votes during the day and night—when the 101st ballot feil due and was put off until today. Many Signs of Break. Under the surface, however, were many portents, but only impending developments could disclose their real meaning. Reports culated that McAdoo and some of his leading ad- ers Wvanted his strength to go to Meredith, others said David Ladd tockwell, his campaign manager, fa- vored Chairman, Walsh. All asserted that, in releasing his delegates, Mc- Adoo was not their course The to any specific column.

SOCIALISTS SCORE KLAN, AFTER FIGHT Condemn_Efforts “to Divide Workmen on Racial or Religious Lines.” By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, July 9.—The Socialist party late yesterday officially con- demned the Ku Klux Klan by name after the sharpest debate in the na- | tional convention that has been meet- {ing here for three days, then at 6:40 p.m. adjourned sine die. The resolution said: “We emphatically condemn the Ku Klux Klan and every otier effort to divide the workers on racial or re- ligious lines and to effect political purposes by secret or terroristic methods Opposition developed on the ground that the party was Injecting itself into a religious fight with which it was not concerned, and that a pro- nouncement, covering only the par- ty's stand in opposition to attempts to divide the workers, was better suited to a Socialist declaration. The substitute was defeated, 19 to 53, and the resolution was then passed, 56 to 15. This represented less than half the full registration, as many of the delegates had departed { for their homes. Seeks to Heal Wounds. To assuage the feelings engendered by the debate, Morris Hillquit, New York, had passed an instruction to the executive committee to circulate a pamphlet setting forth the party's detailed position on the subject. “This would have a good effect upon not only the general public, but on some of the delegates to this con- vention,” Hillquit said, after George M. Goebel, New Jersey, who moved the substitute, had attempted to shut off_his talk on a point of order. “So long as the klansmen merely hate the Jew or the Roman Catho- fic, or the negro, they are merely e%- ercising a, personal privilege, Yut when they put on their pillow-sfins to intimidate voters and commit rur- der in opposition to the rule, for and by the people, then'it is time for every Socialist to take the stand on the side of civie right and liberty.” William H. Henry, Indiana, said his state was so permeated with the Kian that condemnation of it by the party leaders would require a lot of explaining by Socialist organizers. Miners Fill Klan Ranks. “The mining towns are crowded with union men marching in Klan regalia,” he said. “Then,” rejoined Walter. Thomas Mills of California, “you must explain why workers are at each others’ throats. You must either tear down the flaming cross -or crucify the labor_movement upon it.” FAGARA FALLS EXCURSIONS THURSDAYS ] July 17, 31, August 14, 25, Beptember ol 1T ) A5 octaber's Round $16.80 Trip From Washington Tickets good in parior or sleeping cars on payment of usual charges for space [E occupied, including surcha; On sale B at City Ticket Office, Pennsylvania Build- iog, 613 14th St.’ N.W., and Union TRAIN LEAVES Eastern Standard Time £ WASHINGTON 7:45 AM.

NEW YORK, July 9.—William G. McAdoo early this morning released his delegates as the Democratic na- tional convention went into its 100th futile ballot at the beginning of its third week. Earlier in the session, Gov. Smith had informed the convention through Franklin D. Roosevelt that as soon as Mr. McAdoo signified his with- drawal from the contest he would do o also. Mr. McAdoo signified his action in a letter to Chairman Walsh of the convention, which was read, as fol- lows: “Dear Senator Walsh: “I am profoundly grateful to the splendid men and women who have, with such extraordinary loyalty, sup- ported me in this unprecedented struggle for a great causc. “The convention has been in session two weeks, and appears to be unable, to make a nomination under the two- thirds rule. This is an unfortunate situation imperiling party success. “I feel that if I should withdraw my name from the convention I should betrey the trust confided in by the prople in many states which” have sent delegates here to support me. "Xna vet 1 am unwilling to contrib- ute to the continuation of a hope- less deadlock. Therefore, I have de- termined to leave my friends and supporters free to take such action as, in their judgment, may best serve the interests of the party. . “I have made this fight for the prin- ciples and Ideals of progressive de- mocracy and righteousness and for the defegt of the reactionary and wet elements’ in the party which threat- en to dominate it. For these princi ples and ideals I shall continue to fight. I hope that this convention will never yield to reaction and priv- ilege and that the Democratic party will always hold aloft the torch which was carried to such noble helghts by Woodrow Wilson. “Cordially vyours, “W. G. McADOO.” CONVENTION SIDELIGHTS NEW YORK, July A compro- mise has been effected by the Demo- | cratic Mothers' Club of the New York | Nursery and Child’s Hospital as a| hint, perhaps, to the Democratic na- tional convention, with which its aims have bheen so closely bound | Formed June 20 with a platform | that the first boy born to| any member should receive the name | of the Democratic nominee, it paral- leled the convention deadlock with an insistence upon girls until the twenty-first birth was recorded last night. But there was no nominee to settle the naming question. So, while party leaders were trying to effect a | compromise that would end the con- vention deadlock, the proud mother brought about a settlement of the club’s problem by uniting the two leading contenders for the nomina- tion—in_ name at least. And Wil- liam Alfred Casper heads the club's ticket. no matter what the conven- tion finally decides. One regular attendant at the Mad- | ison Square Garden show announced today that he had been compelled to have hi¢ red satin badge dry cleaned. A substitute announcer in the Col- | orado delegation was holding up a| roll call while he fumbled in his | pocket with his right hand seeking | the paper that would show the usual | scattering of votes. A woman dele- gate duplicated the figures from | memory on her fan, handed it to an- | other man, and he read it to the| chairman. A while later, as the roll call proceeded, the subantouncer found his poll—in his left hand. { The polls of several delegations have | demonstrated greater endurance qual- ities on the part of women than men on the long hike toward a nomination.

Tell him I can’t do anything for him,” Hague instructed the page. “Here's a quarter for your trouble. what's your name and where do you come trom?" . “I'm from Elizabeth City, N. C. My name is Keith Sanders.” 2 “Are you for McAdoo or Smith?’ asked Hague. “Well, it's like this,” said the thir- teen-vear-old, “when T got here I went up to the McAdoo headquarters to see McAdoo, but I was tossed about from one man to another and it took me more than an hour be- fore 1 got in to see Mr. McAdoo. I didn't like the way they used me and McAdoo said he was too busy to talk to me, so I went up to Gov. Smith’s headquarters. There I re- ceived a hearty welcome, and Al, he took me right up in his arms and asked me a lot of questions about | myself; wanted to know where my father was, where I was.staying and what I was doing. “I told him my story, and he was so tickled that he recommended me for a page at the convention, and I am work- ing inside the hall. They don't pay us anything. We are expected to get our pay_from tips” “How's the going?” asked the big Jer- sey political chief. “Well, I've managed to earn enough to pay my way since I've been here. One day & woman gave me $3 for dis- tributing circulars in my section, and the next day she gave me $2.50, for the You | sisted, must see same work. But the average tip is a dime.” “Who are you for, Adoo?" asked Hague. “Oh, I'm a $mith man, I am,” said Keith proudiy. “A lot of folks down our way are against him because he is a Catholic, but T don't believe that the two thinge should be mixed. Smith was so nice to me and his wife was so kind—both of ‘em wrote their names in my autograph book. Want to see it”” And he whipped out of his pocket a small size note book. In addition to Al Smith and Mrs. Smith, others of prominence, including Bryan, Underwood, Franklin D. Roosevelt and McAdoo, had inecribed their names. “Give me back that quarter,” demand- ed Hague, “here's & dollar.” You're .a g00d kid.”" Keith told the mayor that he had come to the convention all alone and that he had enjoyed himeelf. ‘What have you seen while here?” asked Hague. Well,” said Keith, “I went up to see the fights the other night. Paid a dollar to get in, and believe me I got my money's worth. Sunday I went to Coney Island and took in everything.’ “Go on the roller coaster?” Hague. . “Ye: aid Keith, and. laughing heartily, said: “Lost my. , but re- covered it.

I'm not staying with the delegation, I'm living at the Irving Hotel” “When's your board due?’ Hague. “"Tomorrow,” said the boy. “Here,” called out the Jersey City mayor, calling about him a dozen Jer- serites. “All you guys fork over a dollar Smith or Mec- inquired asked | to_this kid.” Mayor Hague handed the pile to the boy, but he protested, saying that he had already been paid well for what he had done, but Mayor Hague in- and 'he reluctantly accepted the_contribution to his expenses. Keith Sanders got permission of his father and mother to make the trip to New York. He wanted to see the convention and so he started two weeks ago, going to Norfolk, Va., | where he took the boat to New York. He said he was going back the same way. “What are you going to be when you grow up?” asked Mayor Hague. “I'd like to be a newspaper man,” eaid Keith proudly. The father of Alvin Owsley, Texas “lawyer, soldier, statesman and orator,” ' as his campaign _circular states in his canvass for votes for the vice preSidency, has been a con- stant attendent of the convention. He is patiently waiting to see what happens when the apple of his eye goes up against the enemy in the contest for second place. A group of Kentuckians were sitting around-a room at the Waldorf last night after the adjournment of the convention and several of the congressmen in the party were brag- ging @bout their districts while they sipped their mint juleps behind barred doors and stuffed keyholes. “You may talk about your districts” re- marked one of them when the con- versation showed signs of lagging, “but I represent a district that has never cast a Republican ballot and with the help of the All High; what's moré, will never cast one.

The premiers resumed their con- versations this morning at 10 o'clock in the foreign office, though looking very fatigued from their long night session at the British embassy, which did not end until after midnight. Mr. MacDonald and M, Herriot both are understood to be eager to ar- range the® supervision so the United States shall have a share in it on equal footing with the allies. It is even said In British circles that Mr. MacDonald would be pleased if a set- tlement could be made by the elec- tion of an American to the presi- dency of the reparation commission, with the same preponderant rights as are now accorded to the French president. According to arrangements, Mr. MacDonald was to leave for London at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Berlin Request Denled.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1924. LONDON, July 9.—Ambassador Kel- logg, who will represent the United States 3t the forthcoming allied con- ference, will find greater interest dis- played in America’s opinion than has been shown at any other European conference. Where heretofore European pro- moters have folind American ob- servers useful only upon occasion during the course of the conference, America’s representative will take a leading part this time from beginning to end. In official banking circles, satisfaction is expressed that Amer- ica s to be represented by a man of Mr. Kellogg's banking experience, as much depends upon the effect in the United States of the financial meas- ures adopted. Logan May Also’ Attend. Mr. Kellogg's task will consist of advising the allies how best to in- augurate the ideas incorporpted in the Dawes plan without jeopardizing their worth either from a practical viewpoint or as an intangible asset in disposing of the loan certificates. Owing to the presence of expert advisers attending the conferences ‘with allied representatives, it is likely that Mr. Kellogg will take Col. Logan into the meetings, providing thereby further evidence of America’s deep concern over the success of the Dawes plan. British officials are anxious that Col. Logan should give the benefit of his intimate knowledge of the intentions and desires of the originators of the reparations schemes.
