Delegates heard that Secretary pf Agriculture Henry Wallace was the President's first choice for a running mate. Action on picking him or any other from a list of seven or eight said to be semi- acceptable, was expected late this afternoon, following which ad- journment would come, a full-day ahead of schedule. Republican commentary on the convention’s choice of Roosevelt was favorable, mostly. Party heads here reminded the nation that their candidate had summed up the subject in these words: “T' want to meet the champ!” Only foreign comment on the action taken by the Democrats was that from London. England, according to the dispatch, consid- ered that her cause was safe enough in the hands of either Roosevelt or Willkie.

The squadron, under command of Lieut.-Com- mander R. N. Smoot, included his flagship,- the Aulick, the Mead, the Swasey, the McLana- han, the Laub and the Edwards.

Mr. Cates was told that if he could furnish the board with a notification from the hospital at} Bay Pines that he would be ad-| mitted to the institution, the} board would furnish the trans-} portation. There being no further busi- ness to be brought before the meeting, it was adjourned.
