THE CONCORD TIMES
the Presidential nomination. The report
as drafted, (.‘on-tained the declaration
signed by all of tin* candidates excepting
Wm. (1. McAdoo, releasing their dele
gates unconditionally and also the decla
ration of Mr. McAdoo releasing bis dele
gates conditionally upon abrogation of
I the unit and two-thirds rule, and on
agreement for progressive elimination of
minor candidates. ?
i The report was the sale accomplish
ment cf the week-end conference con
ducted by the two chairmen, and opinion
differed to whether it represented any
j accomplishment at all.
Some of the McAdoo people went into
j session believing little had been accomp
lished, and that after a parliamentary
wrangle the situation Would revert to
I the status of Saturday.
• Norman E. Mat 4. one of the door
j managers for Governor Smith, said he
saw no change in the situation except lie
believed some of the McAdoo delegations
were showing signs of disintegration. The
i Smith forces, he said, were standing firm,
j The leaders expressed the same
! sentiments in reverse fashion.
All sorts of opinions were expressed
as the delegates assembled. The most
general one was that it was going to be
broiling hot under the glass roof of Mad
ison Square Garden.'
| The many canvasses conducted on the
! floor to find out where the favorite sous
delegates were going to developed that al
though released from flieir pledges the
1 sentiments of the individuals seemed to
still stand for their favorite sons.
Immediately after Chairman Walsh
called the convention to order today.
Charles R. Wilson, of Huntington. W.
Ya.. asked unanimous consent for- con
sideration of a resolution to express the
sympathy of the convention to the Presi
dent and Mrs. Coolidge in the critical ill
ness of their son. It was adopted by a
rising vote.
Chairman Walsh then asked the unani
mous consent for the report of himself
and Chairman Hull on the over-Sunday
deliberations. There wa,s no objection
ami the report was read by the secre
tary.
- It recited that tlie conference had been
held and that a document testifying to
the action cf the fifteen minority candi
dates in releasing their delegates bad
been ~presehT&f. The text of the agree
ment was included in the report and
read to the convention. It previously
had been published.
Then, as part of the same report, the
clerk read McAdoo’s letter and counter
proposal which included the abrogation
of the two-tliirds rule and the unit rule,
progressive elimination of low candidate
on succeeding ballots, and including the
right of delegates to cast votes of
those who have gone home.
At the conclusion of the reading. Gavin
McXab. bf California, asked to know
about previous rulings of the chair re
garding the unit rule. Bruce Kremer, of
Montana, a McAdoo man. inovinl the
suspension of the rules so both sets of
proposals could be referred to the rules
committee for repyrt. Newton I). Baker
and Wm. Jennings Bryan both claimed
recognition of the chair.
Tar Heel Delegation is Not in Need of
Charity Just Yet.
Raleigh. July 6. —New York today be
came solicitous about North Carolina's
finances in the state delegation. “If any
movement in your state to finance con
vention delegates wire SIOO early,’* the
Herald-Tribune asked. No "movement”
has been heard. The state's delegation is
usually prosperous. It has two million
aires. by a curious coincidence the present
and the incoming governors, and has
numerous members whosese wealth
ranges into the hundred thousands.
They have not called for charity yet.
They have asked that folks who make
them stay up there and vote monoto
nously or McAdoo do not send collect
orders as they have been doing.
VOTE GOV. SMITH THE
BEST DRESSED CANDIDATE
Two Correspondents Also Say Mrs..

Governor Alfred E. Smith, of New

A questionnaire with a stamped envelope

porters at their respective hotels, and .the
answers showed that in their estimation

one other candidate for the, Presidency.
Congressman Charles A. Mooney dele
gate from Cleveland, Ohio, was voted th
best dressed delegate. Newtdn D. Baker,
of Shaker Heights. Ohio, a|id secretary
of war in the late President \V llson s
cabinet, was voted the fcond best
dressed candidate, although! up to the
fourth day of the convention Mr. Baker
was not even considered a remote possi
bility for the nomination.
William (J. McAdoo, California s can
didate. and former secretary of thetieas
urfy in his father-in-law’s cabinet was
leading the race Thursday by almost 2(
votes, but was accorded only a few’ votes
bv the hard-boiled reporters, so far as
good clothes are concerned.
Two correspondents sent in the name
of Mrs. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster, S.

Sherrill, of Lincoln county, was instant
ly killed; his brother. Francis Sherrill,
was badly injured, and a companion.

Liuco’n county, was run fnto and
wrecked by another car occupied by
negroes.
The accident occurred about 1) o’clock
last night, when the boys had reached
a point, just over the Catawba county
line. There were two cars of the negroes,
the one in front running into and climb
ing nearly over the Ford car occupied
by the young men. Young Sherrill was
killed outright and his body badly
mangled. Little was brongh to a hos
pital here, where very little hope is
held out for his recovery.
There were eight or ten* negroes in
the party. Several of them were placed
under arrest and will be held for trial.
One of their number was badly injured.

' STUBBORN BATTLE FOR LIFE
General Condition Sunday Was Slightly
Worse. —His Condition Critical.

was made at oite o’clock this morning
that there had been a very slight change
for the better in the condition of Calvin
Coolidge, Jr., son of the President who
is ill at Walter Reid army hospital of
■septic poisoning.
Coming after tnany hours of anxious
watching at the bedside when hope all
but been abandoned, the change gave
some encouragement. • The hours just
before dawn, however, were looked for
ward to with apprehension.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge were
at the bedside through the long night
hours and close at hand was the Presi
dent's persona! secretary, E. T. Clark.

patient, however, after twice being at
the hospital during the night returned
to the White House after midnight ac
companied by Frank W. Stearns, the
close friend of the President.
Tlie Flag Must Be Honored.
Fayetteville. N. C., July Y. —The
American flag must be given the proper
recognition and respect and used in the
mooxt sacred ways in the region Where
Mayor Robinson of this city has any
jurisdiction. He not only says so but he
shows that he means it. for issues
orders and then carries them oout him
self. This was evidenced the other day
when a negro minsfrel was parading
through the streets of Fayetteville with
an American flag at the head of its
column, which the mayor promptly took
away from them on the grounds that
it was being used as an advertisement
which is an unpatriotic purpose.
The minstrel had just started on its
noon day parade which was to bring at
tendance at the night performance when
the mayor saw the flag. He wenjt to the
leader and told him that the flffg must
be given up. An argument ensued in
which the mayor came out the. victor
and walked away with the flag/proper
ly fo’ded under his arm. The par Ade con
tinued on its course with the aid of the
symbol of American liberty.

THE McADOO COUNTER
PROPOSAL TURNED DOWN
By the Representatives of the Other Fif
teen Candidates.
New York, July 7.—The McAdoo
Adoo counter proposal for .breaking the
deadlock in the Democratic national
convention was turned down early this
morning by the representatives of the
other fifteeu candidates.
Iu a conference of candidates man
agers only the McAdofi people support
ed the plan which would have abrogated
the unit and two-thirds rub's at the
same time that the delegates would be
released from all obligations of further
support to a particular candidate.
The representatives of the other 15
candidates then voted unanimously to
lay before the. cauvenjiun when it re
assembles at 11 a- m. today The joint
statement of their candidates releasing
delegates.
Having released unconditionally the
delegates supporting them, all the candi
dates save McAdoo will afck the national
convention to compel a similar uncondi
tional release of the McAdoo delegates
as well.
Whether the convention can do more
than express its sense in the matter is
not certain. *
At the same time a qualified counter
proposal submitted to party leaders by
McAdoo tonight when he was asked to
join in the action of his 15 opponents,
will be laid before the convention as a
substitute- It provides that the release
«f the delegates shall be accompanied by
abrogation of the unit rule and the two
thirds rule that favorite sons be dropped
from the balloting by a process of
progressive elimination and that state
delegations be permitted to vote their
full strength even if there are absentees.
A conference of the representatives of
all the candidates late tonight found the
McAdoo counter proposal unacceptable,
the McAdoo manager alone supporting
it. Unable to make further progress
toward a solution of the long conven
tion deadlock, the* conference then ad
journed subject to call and authorized
Ghairman Hull to go before the con
vention when it meets tomorrow morn
ing and submit to the Democratic nat*>mil
committee to the two proposals.
The situation pointed to a show down
(ui the question on the convention
floor with the Smith and favorite
forces standing solidly on one side and
the 3lcAdoo supporters on the other.
Convention officials were uncertain
whether a simple majority or a two
thirds vote would be required to decide
the issue.
All Candidates Except 3lcAdoo Sign
Resolution.
New York. July o—Fifteen of the 10
candidates for the Democratic pru
dential nomination tonight approved a
statement declaring each willingly re
leased all delegates committed to him
"as completely as if his name had been
withdrawn from the convention.” The
only signature missing was that of Wil
liam G. McAdoo*
The 15 approving the. declaration,
which was originally put forward at a
meeting of representatives of minority
candidates, included Governor Alfred E.
Smith, of New York, who with Mr. Mc-
Adoo, stand as leaders among the candi
dates before the convention.
The representatives of the 14
"minority” candidates first affixed the
signatures of their principals and then
Governor Smith personally placed his
signature upon the document which had
been drafted in the form of a resolution
for presentation to the convention- It
reads as follows:
"Resolved: That the time has arrived
when in the opinion of this Democratic
convention all delegate* should be and
are hereby iVeased from an pledges or
instructions of any kind whatsoever,
touching any candidacy for the nomina
tion for President.
Statement: The undersigned do here
by release all and every delegate from
any pledge, instruction or obligation of
any nature whatsoever, insofar as his
candidacy for the Democratic nomina
tion for the presidency is concerned as

Last Point of Gravity .Was
Reached This Afternoon on
Condition of Calvin Cool

PRACTICALLY \LL
' HOPE ABANDONED
Physicians Marvel That the
Youth Lived Through the
Night as He Was Near to
Death Three Times.
"Washington, July 7/ —The last point
of gravity laws reached this afternoon in
the condition of Galvin Coolidge. Jr.,
son of the President, suffering from blood
poisoning at Walter Reed Hospital.
He was clinging to life with wonder
ful tenacity, but .hope was about all that
was held out for his recovery. All of
his physicians were remaining by his
side, and were finding the stamina the
boy was exhibiting marvelous.
Gas was said to be forming iu the
stomach, an additional evidence of the
progress of infection, and making him
impossible for him to take ntutrition by
ordinary means. The President and Mrs.
Coolidge were remaining immediately at
ha nd.
After a consultation of physicians
early thi«s afternoon, President and Mrs.
Cociidge decided to go to the White
House for luncheon, indicating that the
doctors felt that their patient was not
actually in a dying condition.
The needs of a stomach specialist to
cope with the later developments brought
in another physician, Dr. William Gary
Morgan ,of Washington. A washing
out of the stomach was successful)’ com
pleted.
Washington, July 7. —After a night
during which the patient was said to
have been near death in three separate
sinkings spells, Calvin Coolidge. Jr., sou
of the President ,was still fighting brave
ly for his life early today with his safe
passage through the early morning hours
giving slightly increased hope of his re
covery.
It was announced shortly after 7
o’clock this morning that the President's
w4» ihrotnewhat moro oomfortahl*', ~-~
After "having passed through hours re
garded as marking the most critical stage
of his illness from septic poisoning.
At 9 o’clock this morning the physi
cians said the boy “had little more than
a fighting chance for his life.” They
called another consultation for 10 o’clock.
Meanwhile the President who with Mrs.
Coolidge went to the White House for
breakfast, returned to the hospital.
One of the physicians who remained in
attendance, described his survival of the
night as a miracle, adding that he now
had “a bare fighting chance for recov
pry.”
The physician confirmed reports that
a blood transfusion had been resorted to,
and said the youth had “reacted well
to the transfusion and other things that
have been done for him.”
