(Frisco time) today after their day of rest and evidenced the same grim determination to stick to their respective favorites to the end in the twenty-third" bal lot as they had in the twenty-two which had gone before.

Twenty-fiirst ballot, Cox 426 1-2 McAdoo 395 1-2, Palmer 144, Davis 54, Cummings 7. Sunday recess belligerently deter mined to take up the battle over the presidential nominee just where they left off after the 22nd ballot Saturday night. Backers of N the various candidates "propose to fight it out if it takes all summer." Any hopes that the recess would furnish opportunity -for unifi cation of interests either with the idea of getting together on Governor Cox, McAdoo or Palmer or deciding on a compromise candidate were shat tered after the first tentative at tempts at conciliation were rudely bluffed. "Dark horse" talk was again revived today. The names of Davis, Colby, Cummings, Marshall, Clark, Owen and Glass figured prominently. Cox people based their hopes on the fact that their man led from the 12th ballot. They had practically all the bosses on their side. Plans were made for spectacular demonstrations for McAdoo during the day. Reports were current that Glass has released the Virginia votes, but these were later declared untrue. Bryan let it be known that Owen is his candidate as a compromiser. The Southerners like Glass but the North einers don't want him. Colby is said to be favorably regarded by the Northern delegations, but the South em members object to him on the grounds that he is a "life-long Demo crat of a few months." Among the most startling claims by rival camps was that of the Cox 'people, who said they would make great inroads in Palmer's Pennsyl vania delegation and that of the Mc Adoo backers that they would gain again. u,!,lr"" iwnei Deiore the conven tion opened was that Cox would be given another chanc eto show what he eoukl do. Should he fail again to get two-thirds of the votes McAdoo would Riven his run and then Palmer Us. Should none of the three make good it was considered obvious that a turn would be made to a dark horse. Saturday's Balloting. -San Francisco, July 5.

Followers of each of the three leading candi dates today professed their intentions of keeping up the fight, although they expected some minor shifting of votes early in the balloting. There was no ndicatftn of a material change in the ineup. A definite statement was made that Mississippi would change from Cox to 'McAdoo. After the 23rd ballot the Iowa delegation was ex pected to go to McAdoo. Motor Alcohol Made From Molasses in the Hawaiian Islands Now. to San Francisco, July 5. Hail lowly and stick molasses! From it is being produced "motor alcohol" a substitute for gasoline. Discovered by J P, Foster, chemist of one of the big sugar plantations on the island of Maui, Hawaii, produc tion within the next three months will be sufficient to furnish fuel for all cars on the islands should a gasoline shortage occur. According to the first reports of the new fuel, f"jnotor alcohol" gives more power, greater mileage, easier starting and more freedom from car bon than gasoline. It can be used without an adjustment of the carbu retor. ' The new fuel is performing in au- and tractor engines. BUY 15. S. kept as a holiday at score of points Idia, spreading.

K. & T. freight train struck a carnjval train today. The latter was unloading when the freight plowed into it Several deaths are reported to have been caused' by a fire which broke out at once. COLONEL KABLE DEAD. Staunton, Va July 5. Col. W. Gibbs Kable, 48, president of Staunton Military Academy, died at a camp near here today.

Twenty four prisoners escaped from the county jail here today by sawing out. Six were recaptured1. They laid the jailor out unconscious with an iron bar, took the keys and leisurely walked out. LONDON EXPECTS DAVIS. London, July 5. If a dark . horse is nominated at 'Frisco it will be Ambassador Davis, the Daily News declared in an editor ial today. "His nomination would give greatest satisfaction to most Englishmen." (By the United Press) Washington, July 5. A pamphlet entitled "Cotton Production in the United States 1919" will shortly be issued by the Bureau of the Census. The revised figures of cotton ginned from the crop of 1919 are 11,324,541 running bales, counting round as half bales. This is the fifth successive short crop, all of those from 1915 to 1919, inclusive, ranging between eleven million and twelve million bales. Compared with the crop of 1918, all of the states, with the ex ception of Arizona, Missouri, Okla homa, and Texas show a reduction. Dairy Scores Improvement Shown in Scores Given Out by Health Bureau. by WEEKLY WEATHER FORECAST. Issued by the Weather Bureau, I Washington, for the period July 5 to IJuly 10: For South Atlantic and East Gulf States: Occasionally local I thunder-showers, although mostly fair early in week in South Atlantic States. Temperatures near or slight ly above normal. Following are the scores made dairies here during June: R. G. Hodges, 87. Caswell . Training School, 87. J. V. McDaniel, 70. Orva Frederick, GO. J. A. Dfcbruel, 62. T. B. Biirt (sells butter and butter milk only), no score given. Moses Phillips, 53. Practically all the dairies have made better scores this month than they did in May. This is due to the fact that improvements in equipment have been made or are in process Improvements in methods of handling the milk have also been noted. There are now two dairies that are first- class. At least two others should be able to make first-class rank within the next 30 days. There may be other dairies selling milk in Kinston, but none has regis tered. When milk is purchased from the .dairies whose scores appear above the consumer knows pretty well what kind of milk he is getting. "If milk is secured irom a dairy that is ashamed to be seen, it is obvious that there is something to hide." Milk, when properly handled, is the best food that can be had, says the bureau. "When it is not properly handled it is capable of doing more injury than any food we know. Every thing possible to improve the milk supply and safeguard its purity should therefore be done." LaGRANGE GETS THE NEWS FROM FREE PRESS. LaGrange people got the election returns through arrangement be tween The Free Press and the Le horian of that town Saturday night The gist of the stuff which came to this newspaper from San Francisco, Raleigh and other places was relayed to the LaGrange paper by long dis tance telephone. Much interest was manifested in that town. BUY THRIFT STAMPS. Gardner Choice of Lenoir Citizens by a Big Majority MASS MEETING FOR Lenoir County's choices in Satur day's primary were O. Max Gardner, Judge W. P. Stacy and Baxter Dur ham by big majorities. It made one bad bet by supporting Gardner, but its other favorites in aH probability have, been nominated. Gardner was a candidate for, Governor. Barring the remote chance of a Republican victory in November Durham will be come State auditor and Judge Stacy will take his place on the Supreme. SCHOOLS TUESDAY NIGHT. Court ,uccessor George Brown of Washington. Interest here Saturday night was intense. Hundreds thronged the streets, and the bulletins at The Free Press office attracted crowds. This newspaper gave the county vote com plete except for one small precinct, informed the crowds that Morrison was leading Gardner for Governor and kept them posted on develop ments at 'Frisco. The vote by townships in Lenoir follows: The school authorities will take their $900,000 bond issue proposition I Kinston No. 1 ihefnre another mass meeting Tues-1 Kinston No. 2 dav night, for the reason that the I Trent meeting at which their plans were I vance first made publie was not largely at-1 Neuse tended.

July S. Returns received and compiled here fromt- 70 counties indicate that Cameron Morrison of Charlotte, Km won the gubernatorial nomination over 6. Max Gardner: o Shelby by more than 5,000 majority. The count is as follows Morrison 50,757, Gardner 45,200. Heriot Clarkson, manager for Morrison predict that th official count will give the Mecklenburg man a lead of from 7,000 to 10,000. Gardner's manager. Judge J. Crawford Biggs, has not vet conceded defeat but admits that Morrison is leading. Later returns from the 30 missing counties are not expected to change the result, but on the contrary will likely increase Morrison's lead. Judge W. P. Stacy of Wilmington, has apparently been nom inated for Supreme Court over Judge B. F. Long of Stateavillfc and Baxter Durham has defeated J. P. Cook for State Auditor by a substantial majority. Monday there appeared to be little doubt that Cameron.' Morrison, of Charlotte, had been nominated for Governor by the Democrats in Saturday's second primary. Sunday night Morrison s manager claimed a majority of approximately o, 000, but ). Max Gardner's manager claimed that the Mecklen burirer's ad was only 1,800, with many counties vet. to Bend' in final reports. I'rom incomplete returns from less than three-fourths oil the; counties the Raleigh News and Observer Monday morning gave Morrison 50,757, Gardner 45,200. From all indications Judge W. P. Stacy of Wilmington, youthful candidate for the Su preme Court, defeated Judge B. F. Long, while Baxter Durham, Beau Brummell of the aspirants for State offices, defeated J. P. Cook for auditor. Most of the counties of this section gave Gardner majorities. though in many instances he lost a part of the first primary vote given him. Shelby's candidate was especially popular in Le noir and Beaufort and they gave him large majorities. The- leutenant-governor lives in the way-western part of the State. but during the strenuous campaign he made himself sufficient- y known hereabouts. Craven County gave Morrison a big majority, although every county around it with the possible exception of Carteret seems to have favored his opponent. In Pitt the vote was close, Gard ner getting, 1,478 and Morrison 1,156. Looks Like Charlotte Man Is Safe. Raleigh, July 3. With 50 counties heard from, including the majority of the larger ones, Jlorrison has a lead of approximately 5,000 over Gardner, and while the Gardner camp has not conceded the nomination friends of the Shelby candidate agree that there seems little doubt that Morrison has been nominated -by from 5,000 to 10,- 000 majority. Gardner made some gains on Mor rison at some places, but in most places where there was a contest, Morrison came out with the big end of tho vote. This was particularly true in John ston County, in New Hanover and in certain portions of the Seventh Dis trict. The returns so far are so in complete that it is impossible to make an accurate guess as to the vote by congressional districts. The Morrison headquarters here has reports from many sections which indicate that the Morrison majority will be even larger than the figures compiled by newspapermen here in dicate. Heriot Clarkson continues to predict that the majority will run as high as 10,000, possibly higher than that amount. He has heard from all of the doubtful counties and is well satisfied with the result of the con tests there. The News and Observer has just figured from its returns from 619 precincts in the State, including all of the larger ones, that Morrison has 41,195 while Gardner has 36,948.' The returns from 25 counties, in eluding all of the larger precincts, in dicate clearly that W. P. Stacy of Wilmington, has been nominated over Judge B. L. Long of Statesville f or the Supreme Court. The majority of the counties reporting in this contest, however, are from the East, and the West will increase the Long vote, but not enough possibly to overcome ad ditional strength Stacy will get from other Eastern and Piedmont counties. At the present time Long is running more than 1,000 votes behind out of a total of 23,000 so far compiled. ' For State auditor Baxter Durham 236 is leading. 3. P. Cook by about 2,000 votes out of 24,000 votes compiled. Godwin apparently has been defeated for renomination for Congress from the Sixth District by Homer L. Lyon by 2,000 majority. Indications Grow. Raleigh, July 3. There now seems to be no doubt of the Morrison elec tion. Incoming returns from tha Western counties are rapidly over coming the Gardner lead of earlier in the evening. Gardner is also los ing some of the Eastern counties which he carried in the first primary Craven County, Morrison leading: by 400 to 500. Williams leading toi Sheriff by 200. Farrow for register ol' deeds. Durham and Stacy leading. Duplin, eight, about half, of the precincts give Morrison 431, Gardner 514. Durham leading Cook by a majority. (Both Sides Claim Victory. Raleigh, July 3. Unofficial and general telegrams to both managers, here claim the nomination before any official counts begin to come in. Gard ner wires his manager here that all news coming to him at Shelby looks has a larger number of' assuring tale grams from all sections of the State. First Returns. . Raleigh, July 3.
