Should the delegates’ reaction Prove unfavorable, it was believed the guardamen, who claimed to hoid the “balance of power,” would throw their full strength to Lowden and tell Johnson to do his wernt. All of this was based on the as- jsumption that Wood's vote would lreach its peak early today with a |gain of not more than € over the 314% he polled on the last ballot |yesterday.

BALLOTING STARTS ON Massachusetts senator vigorously pounded the table in front of him until it popped to the floor, He was particularly incensed at the Indiana delegation, which paid absolutely no attention to his bombardment. The convention finally came to or. der and Lodge introduced Bishop Nicholson of Chicago, who uttered an invocation VOTES TO HARDING ARE NOW TALKED ‘The hot weather continued and the Coliseurn waa stuffy from the tense hours yesterday Aa delegates assembled there was increasing talk of a move being afoot to throw big blocks of votes to Harding. Denpite reports that Chairman Lodge intended to start the session exactly at 10 & m., that hour passed unnoticed. At 1015 the Star #pangied Ban- ner brought the vest assemblage to its feet, Members of the Wisconsin delega- tion said that they planned to throw all of their 24 votes to Jahnadn. They all voted for La Follette yes- terday except on the last ballot, when two went to Johnson, Sena tor Johnson and Governor Low4 were in their suites at the Black- stone hotel, connected by special wire with the Coliseum, The minister prayed for delivery from pretense and hypocrisy and asked Divine Providence to lend vis- ion to the delegates on the floor and imbue them with a sense of their great responsibility “O, God," said the bishop, “let Yote be cast with a very deep of the responsibility that at- en to the man who casts it.” “May the Ynen chosen here today,” the bishop continued, “be worthy of | the best traditions of our great re public and the declaration of inde. pendence.” When Bishop Nicholson concluded the uproar again broke out, and Lodge had his usual difficulty in bringing the delegates to order. At this juncture the New York} delegation filed into their seats It wan headed by Senator Wads worth, who wore a wide smile. The New York delegation was the center of an inquisitive group at once. Replying to questions, Senator Wadsworth said that “Lowden prob- ably will show a gain on the firwt ballot.” He refused to explain or amplify his statement. ‘The delegates still milled about in the aisles, while Lodge stood beside Gleason, gaveling with rythmic beats and crescendo.

Lowden, for tht» first time sinc@ balloting began, supplanted Gen, Wood in first place on the fifth ballot for the republican presidential nomination, with an unofficial total of 303 votes, The Illinois governor topped Wood by four vetes. Hiram Johnson retained third position in the list, tho he dropped seven votes from his total after yesterday's final bal- lot. When the official count was read there was a great Lowden demonstra. tion, Gillett restored quiet with dim. culty, MICHIGAN DELEGATES LEAVE JOHNSON A Michigan delegate demanded a poll of the delegation on the sixth ballot.

Gillett had temendous difficulty in obtaining order after the sixth ballot, owing to the great din creat- ed by the Harding, Wood and Low- den enthusiasts, The alsies were filled with conferring delegates. The Ohio delegation was the scene of great activity, practically all its members standing and conferring. There was a wild shout from the Johnsonites when Michigan swung her 30 votes back to the Californian on the seventh. A Michigan dele gate demanded a roll call and it was ordered by the chairman. The first two delegates polled voted for Johnson, the next two for Wood. Three ballots for Johnson, one for Wood and another for John- son followed. A rapid fire of replies quickly ran the totals to 8, Lowden then got a vote; then one for John- son, followed by two more for John- son. Wood got the next and John- son the next two. One each then fell to Johnson and Wood. Two more followed tor Wood and the next two went one each to Wood and Johnson. Johnson took the last one.

During the poll the galleries had remained quiet but as the tellers wrestied with the ballots the no! became tremendous, The Texas poll was announced: Harding 7, Johnson 1, Lowden 9, Wood 6; unchanged.
