No . Over-Sunday Compromise
For Breaking Deadlock Has
Been Developed
(By AH?Ited Press) '.; -
SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.' The
identity of the democratic presiden
tial nominee was as great a mystery
as ever to the delegates to the nat
ional convention when ' they recon-
i vened today and entered upon the
twenty-third nauoi.
Campaign managers for Cox, Mc
Adoo and Palmer, who were in the
lead in the-order named on the
twenty-second ballot Saturday night,
continued ,to. predict early victory
for their respective candidates, but
the rank and -file of the delegates,
having no other source, of informa
tion, remained in the dark regard
ing the nomination.'
Managers Optimistic
Conjecture that the over Sunday
recess might possibly have brought
about some- compromise plan : for
breaking tha deadlock was not sup
ported by any announcement on the
part of , party ' leaders or admission
by campaign managers, v Instead the
leaders remained. silent and the man
agers ridiculed' all suggestions of
surrender or compromise, declaring
they were in the fight to the finish
and that their forces would receive
Important accessions on each suc
ceeding ballot. ; : m i
Judged by the outward , appear-1
ance the situation has resolved it
self into a Jriangular war'of attrl-j
tion. Supporters of each of the three
leading candidates are determined toi
hold the votes they now have and!
are hoping f or Increases from rival
camps as well as from state dele
gates which have thus far, cast their
ballots for favorite sons. ,
They; are proceeding on the military-theory
-that the. vanquished, army
is that which buffers a lowering oi
its morale.' Realizing that the dele
gates are restless on account of the
convention's delay and are anxious
to return to their homes, the various
campaign managers ? have devoted
nearly as much time 'since Saturday
night's adjournment to strengthening
their own line as they have to mis
sionary work outside the fold.
' Delegates Are Restless .
Old time convention observers as
sert that at this stage of the pro
ceedings, when the delegates are
anxious to get back borne, any no
ticeable movement toward any one
candidate is likely to be followed in
increasing proportions on subse
quent ballots. The Cox, McAdoo and
Palmer managers 'are , hoping that
their particular candidate may be the
beneficiary of such an eventuality.
In the event that all lines remain
unbroken efforts will be made to put
forward some compromise candidate
of the dark horse variety upon whom
the various factions are united. Thus
far negotiations along this line have
not been encouraging. v : j
Cox Still in Lead. '
The twenty third ballot, first of
the day, showed no material change
in the deadlock, although there
were fluctuations on all sides. The
leaders stood: . .
McAdoo, 364 1-2: 'Cox, 425: Pal
mer, 181 1-2; Davis, 50 1-2.
The changes showed that Cox lost

As the favorite sons vote stood pat
some of the delegates added a touch
of humor. Missouri threw a half
a-vote for Ring Lardner and Wash
ington and Kentucky between them
threw a vote and a half for Irvin
Cobb. . ' . ' " "
Norman E. Mack, of New York,
said if Cox could get the nomination
there would have to be "a brand new
deal." ;
"It will be a very grey horse." said
Mack. By a grey iorse "rather than
a black" Mack meant a compromise
candidate satisfactory to all. -
Virginia caucused on the floor and
decided to stick with Glass. Vance
McCormick, of Pennsylvania, former;
national chairman, said he found it
hard to define the exact situation in
the convention as it got under way,
but that many seemed to think theru
was a line they must not cross. He
added there had been no -break and
that he did not expect a nomination
at the morning session.
May Be a Grey Horse.
When Judge Moore, manager of
the Cox forces, came on the floor he
said he felt sure Cox would be nomi
nated within six ballots.

break the deadlock and there were
