Rumblings of Democratic discord over the prohibition issue became hourly nore ominious today as delegates and party chiefs arrived in increasing numbers for the national convention. Hope that the gathering storm night spend itself behind tje closed doors of the platform committee virtually was abandoned by the leaders aid they prepared to lace an outbreak of tempestuous debate on the floor of the convention itself. Such a development, it was agreed everywhere, would hold many dramatic possibilities, including a further complication of the uncertain outlook as to the presidential nomination. Already lie overshadowing lsgiie in pre-conventlon conferences, the question of a platfornl declaration against the present "bone-dry" law took the whole: stage fof it-Klf today as the gathering delegates leard of Postmaster General Burle-Eon's pronouncement for a modlfi-tation of the Volstead acti By many, accustomed to regard the postmaster general as a political spokesman for tie White House, the development accepted as a warning of whitli vay the wind of administration in-Sience would blow-.

The situation elsewhere in the New Cabinet In Germany Formed; Faces Hard Task London, June 23 Formation of a new German cabinet is reported in a Berlin dispatch printed in a late edition of the Times this morning, the message saying new men have been found for a couple of posts in the ministry. This cabinet is regarded as an emergency one, the dispatch quotes the Tageblatt as saying, that newspaper adding that "it must walk warily to maintain itself, but- will at least be able to go to Spa as representing a large majority of the German people. "This will lend it certain strength." the Tageblatt continues, "and will eventually empower it to say no if the entente, as at Versailles, should demand what can not be fulfilled." Stability Depends on Socialists.

The Tageblatt says frther that the cabinet will meet the Reichstag on Thursday, when Konstantin Frehren-bach, the new chancellor will read a declaration relative to the policy of the government. The Times correspondent asserts the new government's prospect of remaining in office depends upon the willingness of the Majority Socialists to observe "benevolent neutrality." An earlier Berlin message to the If P's if AAV jH- yy yy yy yyy" yy yyVv 4Jy? yy y' 7 are described as being "among the few available men taus far mentioned." To be available this year, Mr. Bryan asserts a candidate must be known to be for woman suffrage, for prohibition and "against Wall Street." As to Attorney General Palmer, Mr. Bryan says he entered the campaign in a position to "deal sternly with the profiteer and an expectant public stood ready to applaud, but the profiteer seems to have things all his own way and the attorney general is now suffering from the reaction." He adds that t'je attorney general is "unfortunate, too. in having to espouse the ratification of the treaty without reservations." Former Speaker Champ Clark is mentioned as, having his own state behind him, while oppoeitlon to Governor Edwards of New Jersey and Governor Cox of Ohio is reiterated.

"Governor Cox's friends," the article continues, "will urge 'jlm as a compromise between the wets of the Edwards type and the bone-drys." Vice President Marshal is accused of making "a feeble bid for the wet vote." "Judge Gerard's candidacy has South Dakota's support and he has many personal friends among other delegates," Mr. Bryan said. Woolworth Building Mortgaged For 3 Million For Taxes New York, June 23 For the first time since its erection a decade ago the Woolworth building tallest office structure in the World is to be encumbered by a mortgage. It was announced today that heirs of the late F. W.

Woolworth, founder of a chain of five and ten cent stores, had arranged to borrow $3,000,000 on the structure to provide ready funds to meet state and federal inheritance taxes, which total $8,000,000. The Woolworth building, 792 feet high and covering nearly an acre of land in lower Broadway, returns an annual income of $1,550,000 and is valued by federal experts at $10,000, Rioting Keeps Up At Londonderry Londonderry, Jane 23.

The committee also adopted a res olution endorsine the national Ren ublican platform and the candidacy of Senator Warren G.

Chairman George A. Glvnn of the committee was authorized to appoint a commute to draw up resolutions of regret for the death of former state Senator Francis Hendricks. however, is that both sides of the controversy are cementing their lines and bringing their heaviest artillery for a finisra fight.

After many conferences in an effort to lay a basis for harmony, Homer S. Cummings, the national chairman, said today it seemed to be a "fair bet" that the question would be taken to the con vention floor for a settlement regard less of what decision was made in the platform committee. Platform Given First Consideration Closely intertwined with the pro hibition question is the problem of selecting a nominee in accord with fhe platform as finally agreed on and among many of the practical politicians there is a feeling that the two decisions must be settled at one stroke. So the pleas of candidates' managers are falling on deaf ears for the present while leaders get their bearings on the more immedi ate question of a bone-dry or a beer platform. The League of Nations disagree ment along with several other dis puted platform issues, has followed llie question of candidates into temporary eclipse.

Among most of the leaders it is agreed that whatever trouble develops over the treaty will be only a drop in the bucket compared to the prohibition fight. Leaders of the bone dry forces wsrfi confident today they would command a good majority In the platform committee, where each state ftas only one member, and it keeps out of the committee report any declaration for a change in the present law.

"While I hal not met Governor Coolidge personally, I had obtained a great deal of information about him and became convinced that he possessed the qualification whicvi is perhaps above all else in this time of unrest, namely unquestioned Americanism." The testimony of Mr. McCamant squares indeed with what was observed from the press box In Chicago and reveals for the first time what was behind the movement for Coolidge.

"T'ae someone who had nominated Lenroot" was Senator Medill Mc-Cormick of Illinois who was further disturbed when Alexander Moore of Pittsburgh Jumped to his feet and seconded the nomination of Coolidge in behalf of Pennsylvania. This caused McCormick to rush over to the Pennsylvania delegation to find out what was t'lie trouble. He asked Gov. Sproul, who was chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation, what it all meant, since Senator Penrose was understood to have agreed to the nomination of Lenroot. But the seconding had already been done and Mr.

Moore's prestige in the Pennsylvania delegation was oiirh that his eolleasues stood back of him, for evidently the word about Lenroot had not been passed to the Pennsylvania delegation soon enough and the action taken was spontan eous. By the time senator Mccormick and Governor Sproul had finished talking, the momentum for Coolidge was in full swing and could not be stopped, so the leaders accepted Coolidge after all. They had no objection to the Massachusetts governor-in flie first instance. Their idea in advancing Lenroot was to put a Western progressive on the ticket, who would contribute strength from Wisconsin and states west of the Mississippi. It was believed that two conservatives would not make a stron" ticket.

On the other hand, now that it is all over, many Republicans feel that it might have been a mistake to put two United States senators on the ticket, as it migt have lent color to the charge that a handful of men in the United States Senate controlled the Republican National Convention. Indeed, in many parts of the West, Coolidge is better known than Harding and some Republicans say frankly that the convention "put the cart before tfie horse," but In Oregon the ticket la popular enough to carry the state without much trouble.

But Halifax immigration officials said she must marry the Canadian who had paid her passage or she mush sail on. So she sailed on to New York, with Captain Miller hastening here by rail. Vainly he pleaded at Ellis Island for her release, at least a temporary release in order for him to marry her. But a special board of inquiry decided that if she was not to be Ad mitted to Canada she was not to be admitted to the United States.

McAdoo is handicapped as a candi date "by "nis close relationship with the President," while President Wll son himself, he says, "need not be considered." Asserting that Mr. McAdoo is also handicapped by "his silence on the peace treaty," Mr. Bryan declares Mr. McAdoo is unable to call to his support "those to whom the President's candidacy appealed with special force," and fciat he would "furnish an easy mark for all of the President's enemies." The article says, however, that Mr. McAdoo has considerable strength among the wage earners.

"Shortly after the nomination of Senator Harding," relates Mr. Mc-Caraant who has just returned here from the Chicago convention, "the ord was passed around that Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin was to be as running mate. In common with ether members of the Oregon delegation, I did not receive the suggestion with enthusiasm for several basons. In the first place, Mr.
