Washington, June 12.—Senator Borah, of Idaho, informed administration lenders in Cleveland early today that he would not accept the Vice Presidential nomina tion. He said that on being informed of the agreement by leaders on him for the nomination, he had sent telegrams to C. Bascom 81emp, secretary to the Presi dent. and Secretary Weeks saying that he “could nor and positively would not accept.’’ He conferred with President Coolidge again today and afterward said that his attitude toward the Vice Presidential nomination was unchanged. He left the White House at 10:55, and refused to add to his earlier state ments. Kenyon Acceptable to Butler. Cleveland, 0., June 12 (By the Asso ciated Press).—Nomination of Judge William S. Kenyon, of lowa, as the Re publican candidate for Vice President became a strong possibility shortly after noon today, with announcement by Wil liam M. Butler, President Coo\i(lge's cam paign manager, that Kenyon would be acceptable. The announcement began to spread through the convention, and conferences began looking toward the consolidation of strength behind the former lowa sen ator. Mr. Butler himself dispatched agents to ascertain sentiment among the delegates. The plan proposed by leaders was to. recess the convention after the nomina tion of President Coolidge, to meet again tonight with a view to giving the Ken yon movement an opportunity t» get underway. " ' forces opposed to the lowa .man, and in dications of a fight on the convention 1 floor began to develop. The arrangement'' to recess the convention until night was' abandoned, however, in favor of the ear lier arrangement for an hour and a half's recess. One group opposed to Judge Kenyon, consisting of Senators lodge of Massa chusetts, Reed of Pennsylvania. ' and* t Wadsworth of New York, and Secretary Mellon, held what .was understood to have been a protest jneeting in a com mittee room in the basement of the con vention hail.

As Was Expected President Was Given Nomination Without Opposition That Amounted to Anything. DR. BURTON MADE f NOMINATING SPEECH Greeted With Cheers as He Began His Speech.—No Decision About the Vice ■ Presidency. (By the Associated Frees.) Convention Hall, Cleveland, 0., June 12—Galvin Coolidge was all but unani mously nominated for the Presidency to day in the Republican national conven tion. He received ,1,065 votes, to 31 for Senator LaFollette, of'. Wisconsin, and 10 for Senator Hiram Johnson, of California. The voices of the little group of La- Follette men from Wisconsin and North Dakota, who had stood through the con vention in militant insurgency against the policies of the party leaders, was al most swallowed up in the tremendous’ wave of acclamation that formally rati fied tlie choice of Mr. Coolidge. It was the plan to choose the President’s run ning mate at another session this after noon. The convention will then ad journ and the party will go before the country. Not in many years has a Re publican convention come so near to unanimity in its selection of, a nominee for the Presidency. Convention Hall, Cleveland, 0., June 12.—The Republican party not only pledged its faith to Calvin Coolidge today, as its choice for the Presidency, but fol lowed out his wish that the selection of his running mate be left to the delegates themselves in open convention. In assembling the convention this morning to go through the formalities of ratifying Mr. Coolidge's nomination, the, convention managers agreed to a recess of only an hour and a half afterward be fore proceeding to a selection for the Vice Presidency. The convention was <r ♦ ‘ formally called to order at 10.40 o’clock. Senator Borah’s reiterated refusal to take second place on the ticket after he ’ had been selected at an all-night Confer ence of the Republican leaders, left the in the air. and it was agreed that the short , recess arrangement would give lit tle opportunity for conferences that might lead to any definite agreement. It appeared probable that despite his attitude, Mr. Borah's name would be i presented to the convention, along with those of at least a half dozen others, and some of the leaders forecast an old-fash ioned floor fight for the nomination. The formalities of nominating Mr. Coolidge himself to head the ticket were , comparatively simply. The honor lof placing his name before the delegates went to Dr. Marion Leroy Burton, once his neighbor in Northampton, Mass., and now president of the University of Mich igan. A half dozen delegates from as ; many states were allotted time for sec onding speeches.- Senatoi* LaFollette’s Wisconsin dele gates and their half dozen sympathizers from North Dakota, booed and taunted by a roaring circle of. their colleagues last night when they refused to join in a demonstration for Mr. Coolidge, were in their seats when the convention opefled. They decided not to formally place the ' name of their leader before the conven tion, but to cast their ballots for him from the floor. When the roll call for nominations for President was started, Alabama, the first state called, yielded to Massachu setts, and Governor Cox, of Massachu setts moved that Dr. Marion Leroy Bur ton be accorded the privilege of placing in nomination “the candidate of Massa chusetts.” So, as it turned out, l)r. Burton spoke ns representing Massachusetts, the Presi , dent’s home, instead of Michigan, his , own. ! Dr. Burton, a tall, striking figure, , stepped briskly to the front of the plat , form, and calmly survey the great; iudi enee, waiting for the applause and cheers to die down so he could begin his speech. I “Fellow citizens of America, thegreat ( est country the world has ever seen,” he began, while the hall rocked with 1 cheering. He spoke clearly and rapid . ly. without manuscript, but followed his I prepared address generally, shortening it I here ami there, but preserving the sense I of the speech he had prepared, and which r was undoubtedly .approved by President I Coolidge. . f Meehins Spoke For South. I .Cleveland, 0., June 12.—Speaking for I tne South, Isaac M. Meek ins, of North ; I Carolina, seconded the nomination of [ President Coolidge before the republican i I national convention today. “The great Southland,’’ he said, “is ' I alive with hundreds of thousands of loy- : I al, brave and enthusiastic men and worn- I en, who cast their votes with the repub- ' I lican party. Tremendous gains have been accomplished. In my state nearly a quarter of a million votes were polled ' for Harren Harding in 19a). The last national Section saw, Tennessee walk in to the republican column. More will ! follow in due time. “The electorate vote of North Carolina ■ alone gained to the Republican cause would offset the loss-of more than four republican states I could .name. The same effort to carry North Carolina that will be made to carry either of those four states and the trick would be turned.!, The democratic regime there, torn with WAscord anil dissension from within, t hangs like Abeolom, tty the hair.” in * CONCORD, N.

Convention Half, ■eveland. June 11— In a brief session miked by n prolonged demonstration for president Coolidge, the Republican Rational Convention to night adopted its platform as reported by the resolutions ' Committee and re jected the LaFollette planks presented from the Wisconsin delegation. The ehorus Os “noes” from the Wis consin section when the question was put* on the adoption were almost lost in the great convention hall which had not finished reverberating from a tornado of “ayes.” , '* Charles B. Warren, chairman of the resolutions committee, read the platform as it finally was approved and moved its adoption. Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin, presented the LaFollette platform and spoke In its support. Mr. War rent made no extended argument against the LaFollette planks, merely re minding the convention that the plat form as brought in from the committee had been approved by every member ex cept the member from Wisconsin and that the committee’s action might be considered a fair cross-section of the sentiment of the convention. The platform out x»f the way in record time, the convention, adjourned until to morrow morning at ■lO o'clock to take up nominations for iPresklent and Vice President. Tonight’s session, though brief and orderly, was noisy and colorful. It brought out the first real oldtime demon stration and show of convention .en thusiasm. Chairman Warren, reading his report, mentioned the name of Presi dent Coolidge and the enthusiams cut ‘ study-at Washington following the convention proceedings by radio, must have heard the shouts and call of “Coolidge,” the tramp of the marchers and the predic tions of party victory. Through all the demonstrations for the President and the platform the dele gates from Wisconsin remained silently in their seats, taking no part and ignor ing the eat calls, his.-es, jeers and shouts directed toward them from the marching throng and from the galleries. Six delegates in the North Dakota delegation ask) took no- part in the dem onstration for the President, but they scarcely were noticed in the attention which was directed upon Wisconsin. The Coolidge marchers, however, were determined to get the Wisconsin delega tion on its feet and it finally accom plished it by forming a circle around them and singing the “Star Spangled Banner.” The LaFollette delegates solemnly rose and stood at attention throughout the singing and then stolidly resumed their chairs while the demonstration for Corfl idge proceeded. It was half hour before Chairman Mondell restored order and the delegates got back to their places to hear Chair man Warren present the platform. Daughters of Liberty Meet in Spencer July 14.
