PRESENTAI‘ION
N
COMMITTEE PROBABLY READY
LATE TODAY
3 8 .
NOMINATION FEATURE DAY
Campaign Managers and
Delegates Well Prepared
for Arousing Enthusiasm.
San Francisco, June 30.—The doni
guratic convention as:semb]od today
to hear the candidates placed in nom
ination and wich the last minute
changes of the plans of the McAdon
terces which precluded the presenta
tion of his name to the convention.
Although it was said among admis
istration chiefs that tlie platform sub
committee had virtually agreed in all
the important particulars, the sub
committee, after it had been in con
ference with the entire committee,
made public the announcement that it
was not ready to report and would
work in secret until seven-thirty to
night, when it will report again to the
full committee.
Administration chiefs declared that
a “slightly’ moist” plank had been
agreed on. ) S
The decision to have Jenkins -speak
was not reached definitely until today
because certain of McAdoo's friends
thought his last tetlegram, urging that
the speech should not be made should
be adhered to. The tottal McAdoo
‘strength on the first ballot, according
4o i Ry % iSRRI,
ate three hundred votes, some say
it will not reach over two hundred an:
fifty.
This far the McAdoo men say they
have suifered only one defection, tha!
of Maryland, which, according to in
formation five are cut today and will
cast their first votes for Ambassado:
John W. Davis. The McAdoo sup
porters say they expect the Maryland
vole to return to them after a few
bhallots.
Both the Cox and Palmer force:
viewed with evident satisfaction the
scrimmage withing the McAdoo ranks
which threatened to bring McAdoo to
the front at-once and make the nomi
nation, a three cornered contest from
the beginning.
Palmer headquayters, in a forme!
statement said that the Attorney
General's bositionl is “Ustronger than
it has ever been before.” and an
nounced his forces intact and claimed
the votes which on the first ballots
will be cast for favorite sons. -
Despite the promise of the coliven
tion to have a “Big Three” at the difl,:'
sot, the dark horse talk was never'
more persistent than at present. 'l‘hc'
names of Marshall, Cummings and‘
Davis are always heard. The Com
mings boom grew from a mere demon- !
stration of enthusiasm to formidable |
nroportions in 24 hours after his open- i
‘ng address and today it had taken full |
jorm with hand bills being circulated
leclaring “a great moment has pro- |
lnced a great man.” i

San Francisco, June 3\').—Stri‘p'pe'.lg

swung today into the business of se- |
ecting a nominee, meeting an hour
warlier than usual, under the program !
which permitted the presentation 01'§
randidates before the platform is adop |
ted. The convention entered a day
»f oratory and demonstration and it
was pasgsible that all the speeches
weuld pe o vored today in time for
clearing the way for the presentation
of the platform Thursday morning, if
the committee completes it by it
time. .
At the eleveénth hour the friends of
;M(-Adon abandoned their efforts to
orevent his name being place in nom
[fnation by Dr. Burris Jenkins.
A great crowd came to the conven
tion hall preparf-(f for a day of ex
sitement. Campaign managers andl
{elegations actively supporting candi
lates were well prepared. All sorts
of devices for arousing enthusiasm
ind for noise making purposes were
brought in.

SUBCOMMITTEE
WILL BE ABOPTED AS WILSON
WANTS IT
AVERT THREATENED FIGHY
Agree on Virginia Platform
Endorsed by President
- and Presented by Glass.
San Francisco, June 30.—Some of
the subcommittee are optimistic over
the prospects of harmony on the
League question. They had “slept
on’ administration and other proposei
planks stuffed into their pockets whea
the meeting broke up shortly before
twe this morning. Some -of them,
even more hopeful, expressed the view
that the threatened fight in full com
mittee might be averted.
There was no basis for the settle
ment o fihe liquor dispute reported
last night. 'When the subcommitten
resumed work this morning the drys
were said to be insistent in a prohi
bition expression. The proposal to
keep the platform entirely silent on
the subjcet was also still prominently
discussed. So far as the main body of
the platform is concerned, the suh;
committee found little trouble in |
agreeing on the Virginia platform en
dorsed by President Wilson and |
brought here by Senator Glass. It is |
said to have furnished the basis f(n'\
the declarations already agreed to re
garding the general principles of party ‘
"z part of its deliborations was Geo.'
Creel, head of the public information |
bureau at Washington during the war. l
It was said he had heen called to clari- |
fv the language for the platform.
It was said the agreement would
preclude the adopticn of Bryan's bone
dry plank. It was predicted further
with finality the League of Nul.ionsl
plank would Le adopted “just as Wil
son wants it."” l
A demonstration by the Cox (lele-,
cation delayed the opening and it was|

was called for nominations immedi

ment to Volstead Act.
i San Francisco, June so.—Secretary
Colby early this morning was waging
l a fight before the platform subcommi: -
tex for a light wine and beer plank.
He is arguing it as a political experi
; ment and not necessarily as personal
; views. The fact that Secretary Colby
conferred with the President befove
leaving Washington added signifi
cance to his stand. None of the com
mitteemen are of opinion that the Vol
stead act should be amended so as to
make its enforcement less stringent.
The subcommitte adjourned without
completing its work, to meet again at
nine-thirty, according to announce
ment made by Chairman Glass.
