While the convention waited for the committee’s work to be completed, wets and drys were ldcked in a struggle which some members thought .t might take hours to terminate. Leaving the subject until last because was the most troublesome of all, the commissittee had made its decisions on the Irish question and the league of na- tions and bhad cleared away all of the lesser controveries delaying its report. ¢ so jong as prohibition remained in itiee members agreed that heir les were far from over. Aside from the wet and dry issue, the biggest fight of the day was centered in the 1 plank Overruling its sub-com- mittee the committee threw out the ad- istration piank proposing to leave the iroblem to the league of nations and adopt ts stead a declaration of sympathy an pledge o ke what- ever diplomatic action would be in con- somance with I comity In making ision the platform a two to one plank proposed by organized zers and backed by a Irtsh v caueus of about 200 canvention delegates npa for & the 1Irish republic. At the same time in an adjoining room the caucus laid plans for carrying its fight to the convention floor. League of Nations. prospects for floor fights on prohibition and the Irish problem were increasing, all likelihood that the league of nations also would be a sub- ject of open hostilities virfually disap- peared. The word was passed around that most of the administration’s chiefs here were content to let the league plank stand as it was when it emerged from jast night's stormy committee meeting. The reference to Feservations, added at ance of antiadministration lead- lomatic recognition of T Put wh le :'r; was not inconsistent with the stand taken by President Wilson, his managers re believed. mor in confiict with the party’s record. P mong the other planks completed during the day was that relating to wo- man suffrage. the committee after a long argument following the advice of. the subcommiliee by approving an appeal o democratic officials in Tenpessee, orth Carolina and Florida for/ quick ction on the suffrage amendment.

DEMOCEATS MARK TTME WAITING FOR PLATFORM Anditorium, San Francisco, Calif., July 1.—Midnight in the east found the demo- sratic natienal convention gathered for a night session, marking time while still waiting for the presentation of the plat- form. The resolutions committee, unable to meitle the prohibition issue, had finaily decided to let it come to the floor and agreed on a programme which provided fo rcne speaker on each side. William J. Bryan, of course, was to speak for & prohibition plank, and Brainbridge Col- by, secretary of state and an administra- tion leader, was to take the other side of the argument With the bope of hearing the commit- tee report at § o'clock the convention as- that hour and the big audi- torfum was packed from floor to roof with a record breaking crowd to hear Mr. Bryan champloning his favorite cause a2d expecting to see the fire works of the wet and dry fight. Postponement _followed _postponement. hewever, and while the throng was en- tertained wifh band mnusic, singing and % i ! THA i i ¥ 4 ? glig !gi;iiig 1 : % b tional committee, an attempt was made to suspend the rules which required the platform to_be adopted prior to balloting, and go ahead With the voting for a nom- inee. Such a suspension of the rules required a two-thirds vote of the delegates and it was quickly apparent from the shouts of disapproval coming from all corners of the hall that the prevailing wish was to dispose of the piatform before proceceding to balleting. Mr. Marsh therefore withdrew his me- tion, and the convention recessed until 8 o'ciock. while the platform committee continued to labor. “Big Three” Head Candidate: ‘When it disposes of the platferm, with the inevitable contests rhibition, the league of nations anl the Irish question, and goes on wrh ihe busmnoss of balloting, the conventicn will hava ve- fore it a field of fourteen candidates, headed b ya “big threz —McAdoo, Cox and Palmer—a scatteriag of lesser jights and including a paddock of darx norses near by Unless some of the expected platform fights petered out, there sesmed little prospect of the conve.itini getting to the business of nomiuating a candidate at te night session, uatess it prowwse dio re- main at work unii daylight. The movement to perfect a combina- tion against McAdoo still was goirz on when the convention went into the night session, but consideration of the candi- dates still was obscured in some measure by the platform fight and the question of whether William J. Bryan was going to win or lose on his prohibition plank. The convention went into the night ses- sion with a row on the floor brewing over the attempt of Irish sympathizers among delegates to force into the platform a plank declaring for recognition of the Irish republic. In a caucus of the pro- Irish factionists heid in a room next to the resolutions committee room plans to carry the drive fo the floor were made after a caucus uitimatum had been ig- nored by the committee. which voted not to hear Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City in further presentation of the case of the Irish republic. There was some question as to how convention rules would affect the pro- posed attempt to plunge the convention itself into the Irish fight. As a member of the resciutions committee, Senator ‘Walsh of Massachusetts spokesman for the caucus during the day, could bring 'n a minority report which .would let down Chatrman Fitzgerald of Providence, R. I., the bars for the struggle, it was said. heading the executive_commitice created by the caucus, said it would be possible to move an amendment to the committee report, however, should other parliamen- tary means to precipitate general debate be lacking. 5 The caucus demanded action recognition plank sider a platform approach to question from any other 21.gie. on the It voted not to con- the sh MOVEMENT AGAINST M'AD0O NOT GAINING NEADWAY San Franeisco, Cali tempt 1t a combination against the no ination of William G. McAdoo was still being carried on when the convention went into its night session but it still was witheut any definite results. Lack of headway was ascribed to the absence of central control and to the feeling among many of those importuncd to join that it was really directed against President_Wilson rather than wholly a movemeft against Mr. McAdoo That feeling, its managers agreed, was its weakness. Another real difficulty was that many of the supporters of candidates having enthusiastic followings, chiefly Palmer and Cox, argued that thev should not be asked to desert their candidates until it had been developed whether they can gain strength. In these camps were scat- tering delegates who preferred McAdoo to any dark horsee. The promoters of the attempted combination against McAdoo were proceeding desultorily and one aft- er another they continued to bring for-| ward such names as former Speaker Clark, Vice President Marshall, Homer S. Cummings, Brainbridge Colby, and even William Jennings Bryan. Clearly and admittedly there (was no name about which they could rally. The Cox and Palmer leaders laughed at the idea of "swapping off” at so early a stage and asserted it had not been dem- onstrated that Mr. McAdoo commanded a place in the runnihg to cause them to fear him—it was with them plainly a case of waiting to be shown. While the real leaders wers dealing with the platform question those who for one reason or another oppose Mr. McAdoo, Palmer and Cox kept up their informal conferences. Many contended that a few ballots would easily show the mpossibility of nominating either Palmor or Cox and the bitterest administrition opponents warn- ed delay in effecting a programme which migh bring them to the issue at a time oo late to defeat McAdoo, MeADOO STILL STLENT ON NOMINATION Huntington, N. Y., July 1.—William G. McAdoo retired at $ o'clock tonight without having broken his silence as to whether he will accept the nomination for president on the democratic ticket should the delegates name him.

CONVENTION ADJOURNS UNTIL 10 THIS MORNING Auditorium, San Franeisco, July 1. fter a futile night session given over rincipally to wait for the wet and dry fight to come off. the democratic nation- al convention finally found the platform committee unable to report and without prospects of making a report before to- morrow morning, it adjourned at ten twenty-ive o'clock until ten o'clock to- morrow morning. While the convention marked time down in the big hall, tucked away in one corner of the big building the plat- form committee continued its effort to harmonize its Teport. Atter practically closing up the question once, the com- mittee decided to give William Jennings Bryan another opportunity to present a prohibition plank. Apparently Mr. was its m be- 1 the Brysn made such headway with his arguments that the committee, which it was once thought would soon make its remort with a ma- Jority determined to lea # the prohibition issue out of the document, found itself unable to make report at all.

The sugar and banana planters are fast becoming wealthy and if the present wave of prosperity continues for few more years the island will have at least a dozen millionaires. Before the war sugar fetechel only $30 per ton: today it is bringing $600 per ton in the English market. The island's in- habitants are experiencing great diffioul- ty in getting adequate supplies and it is only through the actlon of the Food Controller that eight per cent. of the ont- put is kept for home consumption. The prosperity of sugar planters has led to large sums being invested in the pur- chase of the most up-to-date machinery for the manufacture of sugar. Another but as a result of conferences with W.

CROWDS THRONG HALL FOR EXPECTED PROHIBITION FIGHT Auditorfum, San Praneisco, July 1.— At eight o'clock the hour set for the re- assembling of the _democratic national convention the. platform committee was not ready to report and the prospects were that the convention would not get under way for some time. In anticipation of the prohibition fight the conventfon hall was packed at the appointed hour. The delegates were ready and the last tiers of the galleries up un- der the edges of the roof were as full as they could be. The band, the organ and the singers entertained the crowd. Friends of William Jennings Bryan, recalling threats of bodily harm made upon him at Baltimore in 1912, had ar- ranged to be prepared to defend him. At 8.40 the chairman finally got under way and directed that the aisles be clear- ed. While the_eonvention was waiting for the report of the committee on platform, Chairman Glass told inquirers there was “a possibility that the report might go over until tomorrow morning.” At that time the committee was giving William Jennings Bryan another opportunity to present a prohibition plank. As usual the proceedings started with prayer and the singing of The Star Span- gled Banner. At 8.50 the platform committee report- it was still not ready. On motion of Delegate Linebaugh the convention went in{o a temporary recess while the state dglegations caucused to name their natiosfal committeemen and national committee women. The word came down from the plat- form committee meanwhile that if good fortune’ prevailed there’might be a re- port about 10.30 o'clock and that en the PFONIDTTON ~ Hight i{ “might be agteed to have only two speakers—Mr. Bryan on the one side and Bainbridge Colby on the other. The meaning of this was that the platform ‘committee could not decide the prohihition issue and was going to let it come fo the floor. Thé nose count made by the conven- tion managers to determine whether the two-thirds vote could be obtained to sus- pend the rules and go ahead with ballot- ing, developed that all of the candidate managers were opposed to it because they felt it would get them ‘out of posi- tion. At _9.30 o'clock, San Francisco time, the word came doown frm the platform committee that it would be ready in an hour. This agreed with the previous word that they hoped to be ready by ten thirty. The task of the convention man- agers was to keep the convention amused. Chairman Robinson, fresh from a con- ference with Chairman Glass and expect- ing to make a report on the progress of the platform committee stepped to the speaker’s runway, but the Ilinois dele- gation loudly demanded a speech from James Hamilton Lewls. Mr. Lewis, however, did not speak and Senator Robinson went on to announce that the national committee selections would be announced and that imme- diately afterward he would make an an- nouncement regarding the progress of the resolutions committee. Senator Robinson then told the con- vention that after conferring with the platform committee he had found them still in session with prospects of con- tinuing for a considerable time. He said the. chair was assured the committee would be ready to report earl yin the morning. 3 ed GREAT LAKES TO THE SEA WATERWAY PROJECT Detrolt, Mich,, July 1.—Crystallization of sentiment favoring the Grea tLakes 1o the sea waterway project is expected by proponents of the plan to result from the Gréat Lakes-St. Lawrence Tide- water congress to be held here July 22, 23 and 24.

The women ~throughout the na- tion are deeply interested in the national campaign, and the ratification must be closed soon if they are universally to participate in the federal election. I would be gratified, of course, to have re- publican Vermont close the gap, but Governer Clement understands I was not trespassing on his authority in giving him such an opinion in the course of our conference.” Governor said: Clement in his statement have been calling on Senator Hard- ing, and we discussed the state of the union agreeably, you can be sure, and we discussed suffrage ratification by Ver- mont. Our state republican convention asked me to call the extra session. Chair- man Hays has urged it on behalf of the national convention.
