A raiding party of McAdoo adherents charged (he speaker's standard carried it by storm. ‘ine tumut grew until the hall fairly bulged with the sound. For many minutes there was no stopping it. Convention officials let the demonstration take its course. 2 Tramping alohg in time to the pound- ing of drums of the band, all that could be Neard above the general . din, the demonstrators chanted “Mac'll do, Mac'll do” over and over m a droning chorus. In the Missouri section a desperate struggle to get the state standard into the ranks resulted in its destruction. Somebody reached the place before the speaker’s stand carrying a great Lone Star Banner, the Texas state flag. The blazing silver glow of the spot lights caught and held the bright folds as the standard was thrust up to waiting hands on the platform. There was a rush and swirl in the aisles as the standards came hurrying forward. Hands reached for them from the platform. Half the states of the Union were in the group of stand- ards growing up like a great triangle be- fore the platform. The hall rocked ev- ery minute with a new outbusst of cheer- ing. Tennessee and North Carolina standards came staggering forward in eager hands. New volleys of Ccheering greeted them. Florida came in, and from the surging mob of McAdoo sup- porters at the foot of the speaker's stand shouts of “Come .on New York” went up.

In presenting the governor's name, Chardes F. X. O'Brien went into the prohibition issue appealing for personal |liberty policies. He was cheered, also hissed, from some points on the floor, the first sign of disapproval of pri ples in the long day of ferment and roar. When he concluded, Governor -Ed- wards was cheered vigorously and the band continued its musical reminder of othgs and wetter days.

PLAN TO PREVENT SELECTION OF McADOO San Francisco, Callf, June 30—Seem- ingly in agreement that William G. Mec- Adoo has the inside track on the demo- cratic presidential nomination tonight attempts were being made within the in- ner circle of old line demacratic party leaders to prevent his selection by the convention. The plan includes promi- nent consideration of Champ Clark, for- mer speaker of the house of representa- tives, as a candidate. It was understood that efforts were being made to get in touch with Mr. Clark to learn if he would accept the nomination if tendered, and that among those whom the combination. would hope to enlist in its support s W. J. Bryan, who encompassed” the defeat of Clark ‘at Baltimore in 1912 after a ma- jority had voted for him, and forced the nomination of Woodrow Wilson. Bryan's acknowledeA! veto power over any candidate through the operation of rule - which requires two-thirds of the delegates for a nomination made his sup- port to the plan a factor sought by its managers. Conferences among the old e leaders were going on actively im- mediately the day's session Jf the con- vention, and they made it plain in their private expressions that they were go- ing tc any poesible lengths to beat Me- Adoo. Those forwarding the plan were using as one of their arguments for Clark as the strongest man to put up against Mc- Adoo, that the party really owed a nom- ination to the former speaker in pay- ment for its action in Baltimore when it deprived him of the prize after repeated- Iy having given him a majority—some- thing Wwhich never had been done before in_the history of the party. Opponents to McAdoo went into ac- tion without delay after the howling | demonstration given him by the conven- tion will as his champions said, and with the argument that he should be “drafter for cne_service of the nation.” The further statement to-the conven- tion that McAdoo assuredly would accept the nomination if jt#came to him, pro- vided a further shock to the old line party leaders. To each other they pro- fessed imperative need for prompt and forceful action if his nomination_were to be prevented. The first concern of those opposed o McAdoo was to hold the Pal- mer_and Cox lines long enough to find a candiate to whom they could swing a the threatened defections Railway Men Refuse to Move Trains Boarded Police or iers—People Hoard- Dublin, June 30.—The railroad termin- us here was ‘tied up this morning as a result of the refusal of. railway men to move trains boarded by :police or sol- diers, causing a complete stoppage of all trains for the south.

EITHER TROLLEY SERVICE OR JITNEYS MUST GO Hartford, Conn., June 30.—Morgan B. Brainard of this city, a trustee of the Connecticut company, said today. that the time had come when communities like Bridgeport and ‘others would have to choose between trolley service or jitneys, as the two could exist no longer side by side, and the Connecticut company would soon ask for a show of hands. Mr. Brainard's statement was made in reply to a query concerning reports that- the Connecticut company had decided to take its trolleys off Bridgeport's streets. He said the exact date had not been de- termined by the trustees, but the matter would come to a head some, time this summer. “Of course,” he said, “we spring any sudden ultimatum upon Bridgeport and say ‘tomorrow we will take away the trolleys,’ but will give am- ple warning, so that there may be time for deliberation and well considered choice. The trustees are agreed that the case of Salem, Mass., where the com- munity was given the choice behween the trolleys and the jitneys, is the only way effectively to deal with the competition between the two forms of transportation. “If the' community prefers jitney ser- vice, well and good. We have no feling against such action, but will be governed accordingly and remove a form of trans- portation that is second choie. For three will not today when presented against his|, or four years jitney —competition has caused the Connecticut company, serious less, and the trustees feel that it is only sane business to settle the issue with the communities involved.” MERIDEN PRIEST ATTACKED BY UNENOWN MAN Meriden, Conn., June 30.—Rev.
