* ACTION %AK1M IK -c INTEREST OP PARTY AND ENDING DEADLOCK (By Associated Press) Madison Square Carden, N. Y.. July 9.—WUliam G. McAdoo early thir morning released his delegates as the Democratic national conven tion went into its 100th (utile ballot at the beginning of its third week. Earlier in the session, Gov ernor Smith had informed the convention through Franklin D. Roosevelt that as soon as 'Mr. McAdoo signified his withdrawal from the contest he would do so also. ' Mr. McAdoo signified hi* action in a letter to Chairman Walsh of the Convention -which was read as follows: Dear Senator Walsh: "I am profoundly grateful to the Splendid men and women who have with extraordinary loyalty supported .me in this unprecedented strugge for a great cause. “The convention has been in session two weeks and appears to he unable to. make a nomination under the two thirds rule. This 1* »n unfortunate Situation imperilling party success. * “I feel that if I should withdraw • my name from the convention I should betray the trust fconfided in me by the people in many states which have sent de’egates here to support me. “And yet I am unwilling to contri , «bute to the continuation of a hope less deadlock. Therefore I have deter mined to leave may best serve the in tsts of the party. "I have made this fight for the prin ciples and ideals of progressive Dem •ocracy and righteousness and for the defeat of the reactionary and wet elements in the party which threaten to dominate it. For these principles and ideals I shall continue t° fifiht. I hope that this convention will never yield to reaction and privilege that the Democratic party will alway9 hold aloaf the torch which was carried to such noble heghts by Woodrow Wilson. “Cordially yours, W. G. McADOO.” Immediately after the reading of tbs HcAdw UU«r*Mi attempt wu made to adjourn which was. defeated on • roll call. When the MeAdo* Utter was read to the convention h# atopd nlaoat Exactly even with Governor Smith after two Week* of balloting. Me* Adoo had 863.6 vote* end Smtih ha t 868. Mr. MoAdoo** fiend* and assist anta in the convention disclaimed that in releasing hi* delegates he Was making any attempt to say where they should go, but some of the prominent McAdoo men were busy at tempting to transfer the McAdoo strength to E. T. Meredith of Iowa, former secretary of agriculture in President Wilson’s cabinet. There was a report that Mr. McAdoo haa declared himself to his lieutenants ;n favor of Mr. Meredith but that his campaign manager, David L. Rock well, wanted die McAdoo strength to fall to Thomas J. Welsh of Montana, permanent chairman of the couven ,ion. 1 But whiU the balloting had been going on the tide of convention for tune had been sweeping the votes up ward for John W. Davis of West Vir ginia, as they Went down .for Ral ston of Indiana, and when the Mc Adoo release of delegates was an nounced Mr. Davia’ strength stood at -210 votes, its high water mark. The question to be determined wit* whether the McAdoo strength mw ;et free could be delivered anywhere and if it could, whether 1t could be made effective against the growing :olumn of votes for Davis. - The collapse of the McAdoo fight came near the end of another drama ic day and night which were the ':limax to the record breaking con tention 0f American political history. After an overnight raid on the Mc kdoo forces which carried them to i new low level the convention met yesterday morning (Tuesday) and ac complished little in its flrat session, n the interval before the night ses on Governor Smith and Mr. Mc Vdoo met for a persona lconference nd discussed the deadlock, but came o no conclusions. The one result of .heir meeting was that Governor Smith sent his floor leader, Franklin 0. Roosevelt to the night session of he convention to make a statement ’eclaring that when Mr. McAdoo aig lified his withdrawal from the con est he would do likewise. Mr Roosevelt’s statement in be M ’*%• **u« Substitutes are gener ally more expensive in the end thau genuine articles. Housewives have learned —they KNOW this is true where bakings are coor cerned.

When Mr. Rockwell, Mr. McAdoo’s manager, was asked what answer he would make to Governor Smith’s pro posal he replied “nothing; except more votes. It was evident that the McAd^o forces were out for a night raid. It turned out that HcAdoo himself had fciven orders for it because he wanted his sagging vote to be restored as nearly at possible to its high water mark before he quit the contest. All through the 94th ballot, which was the first of the evening session, the McAdoo floor managers conduct ed a terrific drive wich swept IdSh.t, %fississippi, Nevada and Oklahoma back into the McAdoo column with a good block from Indiana beside, made possible by the new withdrawal of Senator Ralston, and the result was that the McAdoo total at the end of that ballot was 395. McAdoo was not only back n the lead agan tut he 4iad recovered the one-third veto power he lost in the terrific drubbing the coalition forces had given-him the night before. MR.
