I come out here to help nominate a candidate for president and I want to get through with it and get back to.

First Delegate (persistently) "Aint you been in none of these waffle caves?" Second Delegate (angrily) tell you I aint been nowhere! I'm out here for business, and ail I want now Is to get somebody nominated, such as McAdoo, and go on back to Springfield. I'm sick of this delay.

It's daffy people like yon who are holding us back by runnln' around town, and not being at the convention on time." First Delegate, (astounded) "Well, now that's sure the cat's pajamas! Of course I don't get. to the convention much, but everybody knows I'm for Jimmy Cox, and they vote me that way whether I'm there or not If you, and all the other McAdoo peo-ple'd vote for Jimmy we'd get through, but I'd just as soon stay here another week, at that" Second Delegate (bitterly) "You're Just dafly, that's all. Get me back to Springfield, and you can have your cabarets, and wop joints, and grappa, and all the rest. I don't want none of it in mine. I've seen It all." First Delegate, you aint seen nothln' if you aint seen what I've seen.

I know you aint seen it in Springfield, because I been there. I been to Boston, too, and there aint (nothing doing 'there neither, since they turned off the Woodcock Inn." Second Delegate, (defensively) "Say, there's plenty doing in Boston If you know where to look for it and in Springfield, too, as far as that goes. If a pretty lively town if you know where to look for things. I wouldn't trade Springfield for this town." First Delegate "You wouldn't? Well, now, aint that the beetle's busi ness! Say, I come from a pretty rood town myself. I rpme from Newburgh, New York, up the Hudson, but I got to hand it to San Francisco.

I hope I get to stay here the rest of the week, that's all." Second Delegate "You're daffy all right. Well, I got to go meet my wife, and take her out to the park." P'irst Delegate (suspicious) "Say, you got a wife with you?" Second Delegate (bristling) "Certainly, I take my wife everywhere with me." First Delegate "Oh, I see."

SHAUB. -Staff CrrwMtat Uahartal ttrvtaa. Watch for some new line of strategy in the Democratic National Convention today.

Leaders on Saturday resorted to every old time devico known to politicians, and wets nd drys, administration and anti-admlntstration forces, failed to put over their favor-ites. Straight balloting; failed. 1 Attempts at combinations failed. Threats to "fight Jt out, if it takes all summer," failed. Everything that was cooked up at a recess failed.

Stampedes failed. Pleas on the ground of personal friendship failed. And persuasion failed. So the leaders will use something new today. They may try to overcome delegates wiQi something psychic.

Or they may resort to a wave of spiritual emotion, and attempt to sweep some one to victory during a 6emi-religious and patriotic frenzy, when the good sisters and earnest workers will half prayerfully work personally to make "converts' of opposing delegates, while the big pipe organ plays "Onward, Christian Soldiers" and other hymns. There was one suggestion of this Saturday night, but it was unorganized, and failed. During the last demonstration for McAdoo, when it looked as though he had made a gain, because Tennessee and Georgia had given him a complimentary vote, the old organ was ordered into line with the well-known hymn. The object of course, was to create an emotional atmosphere, in which McAdoo's opponents should feel like sinners, while the others rejoiced over the coming into the fold of some of the lambs. But no one went to the mourners bench, because the movement had not been properly planned.

But the leaders had time yesterday to nw-ke their plans, and they will spring them, w.hen they believe the proper lime comes during today's balloting. One wwnan in the Aadltortum gallery Saturday was beard to -com plain because the. convention was nearly over. She said her book of tickets was good for twelve sessions and it looked as though some one had framed tip to beat her out of the last five. Chairman Robinson seemed to be partial to women Saturday.

He repeatedly shouted that "the gentlemen in the aisles will be seated," and never once called on the women to sit down. Miss Fannie Hurst, Universal Service writer, was the only person at this convention, with the exception of William Jennings Bryan, to receive flowers. She was presented a large bouquet Saturday by the girls of the University of California. It was not until the end of the fourteenth ballot that the convention band thought Cox had a chance of winninsr the nomination. After that ballot, however, it played "Ohio, Ohio," and came in strong tn the "we'll nom inate Cox, or know the reason why." ne nas mmocn.

This is a great town. You ought to be with us last night You certainly nV.sped it not being with us last nipht. I only hope the convention lasts all this week, and then noml nales Jimmy Cox." Second Delegate "You're leaping, all right' They can't get me back to Springfield any too soon, and I think this delay is an outrage! Just an outrage! Chances are it's a frame-up of some kind!" First Delegate "Well, now ain't that the cat's pajamas! Why, say, it's hotter than the hubs of hell in Springfield now, ain't it?" Second Delegate "It's never too hot for me. I'd like to be there. that's all" First Delegate "Another thing.

(Coprrictt, 19J0, by Tba Anybody who attempts to say what will happen today in the Democratic National Convention may be basing his prediction on the soundest Judgment at the moment he expresses iimi opinion, diu he runs the risk of having all calculations upset by any of the dozen or more turns of fortune which convention strategy and tacticians may evolve before the balloting is resumed. Governor Cot unouenflnnahiv the lead. The band waaron Idea.

h. been spread by his supporters all day with a consequent effect upon wobbling delegations, which may put the Ohio executive over the top in four or five ballots, But the chances of Governor Cot rest upon the decision of Attorney General Mitchell Palmer and Representative Carlin of Virginia, his cam- paign manager. If the Cox and l'almer forces reach an understanding the race is over and the Ohio Governor, wins. McADOO MEN DEFIANT. There is no chance of an agreement between Cox and McAdoo men for the latter are determined to die in the trenches.

Furthermore they believe a repetition of the Baltimore convention of 1912 is coming and that mere stick-to-it-lveness will triumph in the end. But while there Is abundant confidence in the McAdoo camp, there isnt any demonstration of votes. And to forge ahead, McAdoo must gain from delegations that are not now thinking of supporting bins but going to Cox. For instance, Kansas has been held under the unit rule for McAdoo by a margin of one vote. North Carolina has been twice reported as shaking in its loyalty to McAdoo.

There's a fight inside the Georgia delegation. Clark Howell is said to be eager to go to Cox. Many want to go to McAdoo, but the Palmer instruction will probably hold Georgia for a few ballots, anvway. DARK HORSES OUT. The adjournment over Sunday did a good deal toward squelching dark-horse ideas.

For, while a candidate aiay be sprung in the first fifteen or Sixteen ballots, the endurance of the main contenders is such that in tlie end one of them must win. 1,750,000 Carried By Cars; One Hurt Fred Boeken, superintendent of the Municipal Street Railways, announced yesterday that during the week ending Saturday, July 3, the municipal cars carried 1,750,000 people. During this period but one aecMont occurred. A woman was aliehtlv bruised when she fell in a car. Shoes hxxxHBCxrr Fine Shoes' te priced faotofn the fftrel SAN 111! BUCKHECHT Dress LLT HELD 1'ADQO FORGES The McAdoo forces In the convention held a mass meeting last night at the Palace Hotel In an effort to stiffen up the support in the poll.

Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City, who put McAdoo in nomination, and others from among the supporting delegations pleaded that they "hold the line" today. In the speeches from various state representatives there was note of de fiance as well as of urge lest the vote shall slacken. Judge Cone Johnson, chairman of the Texas delegation, who presided, Insisted that the McAdoo supporters expected to stand "like a stonewall" throughout. Edwin T.

Meredith, secretary 01 agriculture in President Wilson's cabinet, 'said that they were fighting in the Iowa delegation, some members of which he said was "hand-picked," but he announced he saw signs of bringing them over to McAdoo. Governor Cooper of South Caxolina, Senator Nugent of Idaho, Francis J. Heney of California, Governor Brewer of Mississippi, Mrs. Peter Olesen of Minnesota, Tom Love of Texas, Mrs. Bessie Richards of Oregon, J.

O. Carr of North Carolina, and others urged the delegations not to yield. WOMAN FRIEND OF N. Y. MAYOR'S WIFE IS ROBBER VICTIM (Continued from Page 1.) :1 Mrs.

Moller twisted her feet loose from the bands with which they were tied to her chair and made her way to the door. With her hands still tied together, she was able to turn the knob and call for help. The first man to respond was W. J. Burns, the detective.

Mrs, Moller is a member of a wealthy sugar family of New Yonk. She had accompanied Mrs. Hylan 'on the trip to California for pleasure. Her room at the Fairmont was just opposite hers.

That fear is growing. Impassioned appeals to Washington to know what to do have had no response. Strained ears listening for the long distance telephone to jingle have heard nothing. Weary eyes watching for a signal smoke on White House Hill have seen no blur of it No carrier pigeon has come. No courier has arrived.

There is nothing no sign, no portent, no intimation silence. GREAT CHIEF SITS SILENT. The Great Chieftain of the party sits at Washington like a Grand Llama, in hushed detachment, and gives no word. They do not know whether to translate that Bilence into satisfaction over the tribute that has been paid and the endorsement be has been given, or whether it means that the ultimate in appreciation and loyalty is expected a renomination. They do not know what is the status of any dark horse, or whether the official dark horse is the President himself.

They do not know whether to march boldly to the front and demand that the convention shall cease this trifling with others, and place the wreath for a third time on the Wilsonian brow, nor dothey know what would happen if they did make this demand. They are afraid the conventiin might not cease Its trifling, and might refuse. They are torn between the demands of their loyal hearts and the fears of their political miads, wise to the temper of this gathering of Demo crats wno may not noia me i-resiueui. in such reverence as the Wilsonians hold him nor in such fear.

The 'friends of the President noted this and it added nothing to their comfort over the situation in which they are placed. Tbey are In a dickens of a fix, and so is this convention, and when it meets this morning anything may be expected, from an attempt to inject the President into the situation as the solution of the problem, On the assumption that he wants the nomination, which many hold to be the fact, to a hurried combination on some one to close it up before they have to go to Wilson as the only way out of the dilemma.
