Nebraska quit Governor Bryan en- tirely on this ballot and gave to Sen- | ator Walsh of Montana the two votes which had been hanging for him fhere. Senator Walsh also picked up three in New Hampshire taking them | from Smith and McAdoo. Ohio gave |a slightly changed alignment, but [ the vote was scattered among seven candidates with Smith getting almost | halt of them. | At 11:36 daylight Chairman Walsh rapped for order. The Rev.
