The line-up behind the two propos- als in the conference proved to be representative of the solidified diverg- gence which appeared in the conclud- ing ballots of Saturday's session, which put Smith up to 368 votes on the seventy-sixth and left him at the finish on the seventy-seventh with 367, exactly the number required to block a nomination under the two-thirds rule. After the conference, however, spokesmen for the McAdoo camp said they had no intention of trying to prevent a vote by the convention on the pledges and obligations to candi- dates. - While his counter-proposal being considered by the conference, Mr. McAdoo in an address before a rally of delegates who had supported him throughout the six days of bal- loting, declared he *would feel like the most contemptible traitor alive™ if he “deserted” thém at this ttme, and “must stay and fight to the finish " 50 as not to betray a trus He was in the race, he said, to “carry out the mandate of the pe ople” expressed in primaries and state conventions, and he re-iterated again and that he did not intend to withdraw, A resolution pledging the delegates anew to the support of the Californian was adopted after his address, which had been preceded by about an hour of discussion during which almost every mention of his name was wild- ly cheered and plans were advanced to organize his women supporters more closely to work for his nomina- tion. The rally was arranged, it was emphasized, at no suggestion from the | McAdoay campaign “headquarters, but by leaders in various state delega- tions, The question of selecting a com- promise candidate was kept in the ob scure background of possible ways out of the difficulty d¥ring all of the week-end conferences, and after the adjournment early today, Chairman Hull asserted that such a plan would be taken up only a a final extreme measurs even if the convention should give epecific authority for its consid- eration. None of those taking part, he sald, “considered it our function to discuss any compromise candidate." The initigtive in the proposal for releasing c#hdidates was taken yes- terday by the representatives of the 14 candidates in the favorite son class, ’including Senator Glass of Virginia, Benator Underwood of Alabama, Sen- ator Rohinson of Arkansas, Benator Saulsbury of Delaware, David was | again | r Ralste Mary James M.

LEGATES AGREE THAT ITS WARM That's About (he Only Agreement as Convention Opens —— ifl[ Madison Square Garden, New York July 7 il divided inte nen-ma- jority groups, the democratic national convention returned today te its task ol. selecting a presidential nominee with its enurse undecided, Tte firat business was to receive a report from permanent Chairman Walsh and National Chalrman Hull | on their conferences with representas tive of the sixteen aspirants for the presidential nomination, The report a8 drafted contained the declaration signed by ail the candidates except 'Willlam G. McAdoo, releasing their delegates unconditionally and also the | declaration of Mr, McAdoo releasing | hin delegatés conditionally upon | abrogation of the unit and two-thirds rules and an agreement for progres- | sive elimination of minor candidates. The report was the sole accomplish- ment of the week-end conferences conducted by Chairmen Walsh and Hull, and opinion differed as to whether it represented an accom- plishment at all, Some of the McAdoo people went into the session belleving that little had been accomplighed and that after a parllamentary nmnllo the situation would hevert to the status of Raturday Norman E. Mack, one of the floor managers for Governor 8mith ‘said he saw no change In the situation ex. cept that he belleved some of the Me- Adoo delegations were showing signs of disintegration, The Smith forces, | he sald, were standing firm. * McAdoo Jeadery expressed the same sentiments in reverse fashion, All gorts of opinions were expressed’ as'the delegates assembled. The most unanimous one was that it was going to be broiling hot under the glass roof of Madison Square Garden. N The forecast of the preliminary procedure today was that Chairman Walsh would present the report of the Sunday conferences containing the two proposals advanced by the fiftecen minority candidates and by Mr. Me,, Adoo and leave it to the convéntion to decide what it was going to do about it.
