Mndison Square Garden, July 7.—Mis souri with her 36 votes slid to Senator Glass on the 80th ballot, deserting the McAdoo column where it had been voting under the unit rule. j Madison Square Garden, July 7. Brushing aside the pending proposals for suspending the rules nnd to release del- i egates, the Democratic National Conven tion today went back to the dreary busi ness of balloting for President. The proposition of the iiftten minority ' candidates including Governor Smith and the counter, proposition by Mr. McAdoo were reported. An attempt to refer the proposals to the rules committee led by McAdoo men. was defeated by a large vote. The effect of the move which was beaten was that a report from the'rules committee to eliminate the two-thirds rule could have been adopted by a major ity of the convention, whereas a two thirds majority now is required. With that, the convention went back to the tussle, and apparently to demon strate that all sides are just as stubborn and unyielding on Monday morning as they were on Saturday night. It started as usual with: “Alabama, 24 votes to Underwood.” There was no change in the voting un til Colorado was reached, and there Mc- Adoo gained a half vote, Smith lost one and Davis lost a half. In Florida Smith lost one. In Illinois Smith gained 5 and McAdoo was unchanged. McAdoo lose one-half vote in Maine. Michigan rearranged its vote entirely, going back to Ferris with 17 and giving Underwood 3. It took 8 1-2 from Mc- Adoo and 5 1-2 from Smith. Robinson got 2 from Minnesota. It was obvious through the first ballot today—the 78th of the session—that if the delegates were looking “for -a place to go,” they still were looking around for it. Nebraska quit Governor Bryan entire ly on this ballot, and gave to' Senator Walsh of Montana, the two votes which had been banging for him there. Senator Walsh also picked up three in New, Hampshire, taking them from Smith and McAdoo. Ohio gave a slightly changed alignment, but the vote was scattered among seven candidates, with Smith get tine almost half of them. The first business of the convention to day was to receive a report from perma nent Chairman Walsh and National Com mittdknan Hall on their conferences with representatives of the 16 aspirants fori I the Presidential nomination. The repori ns drafted, contained the declarator signed by nil of the candidates exception I Win. G. McAdoo, releasing their dele gntes unconditionally and also the decla ration of Mr. McAdoo releasing his dele' gates conditionally uiron abrogation ol the unit and two-thirds rule, and on agreement for progressive elimination oi 1 minor candidates. The report was the sale accomplish -1 meat of the week-end conference con ducted by the two chairmen, and opinion 9 differed as to whether it represented any accomplishment at all. Some of the McAdoo people went into session believing little had been accomp > fished, and that after a parliamentary wrangle the situation would revert to the status of Saturday. . Norman E. Mack, one of the floor managers for Governor Smith, said he l saw no change in the situation except he | believed some of the McAdoo delegations 1 were showing signs of disintegration. The Smith forces, he said, were standing firm. The McAdoo leaders expressed the same sentiments in reverse fashion. All sorts of opinions were expressed . ns the delegates assembled. Tire most p general one was that it was going to be broiling hot under the glass roof of Mnd ison Square Garden. The many canvasses conducted on the floor to find out where the favorite sons delegates were going to developed thnt al though released from their pledges the 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. Va., risked 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 was no objection and the report was read by the secre tary. It recited that the eonference had been held and that a document testifying to the action of the fifteen minority candi dates in releasing their delegate* -had' Been presented. The text of the agree ment was- included' in the report and read to the convention. It previously had Seen published. Then, as part of the same report, the clerk read McAdoo’s letter and counter proposal which included the abrogation of the two-thirds rule and the unit rule, progressive elimination of low candidate on succeeding ballots, and including the right of delegates to cast the votes of those who have gone home. At the conclusion of the reading. Gavin MeNab, of California, asked to know about previous rulings of the chair re ' garding the unit rule. Bruce Kremer, of Montana, a McAdoo man, moved (he suspension of the rules so both sets of proposals could be referred to the rules , committee for report. Newton I). Baker j » u d Wm. Jennings Bryan both claimed recognition of tire 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 orddrs as they have been doing. VOTE GOV. SMITH THE Best dressed candidate Two Correspondents Also Say Mrs. Leroy Springs is “Best Dressed Candidate.” Governor Alfred E. .Smith, of New York, was voted the beet dressed candi date after n poll had been taken of ap proximately 500 newspaper men cover ing the Democratic convention and cam-1 paign headquarters in New York City. A questionnaire with a stamped envelope for reply was sent to all accredited re porters at their respective hotels, and the answers showed thnt in their estimation the man who got his early business ex perience at Fulton Fish Market, New York City, wore better clothes than any one other candidate for the Presidency. Congressman Charles A. Mooney, dele gate from Cleveland, Ohio, was voted the best dressed delegate. Newton D. Bnker, of Shaker Heights, Ohio, and secretary of war in the late President Wilson’s cabinet, was voted the second 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 G. McAdoo, California’s can didate, and former secretary of the treas nrfy in his father-in-law’s cabinet, was leading the race Thursday by almost 200 votes, but was accorded only a few votes by the hard-boiled reporters, so far as good clothes,. are concerned. Taro correspondents seat in the name of Mrs. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster, S. C., gs the “best dressed candidate” in their opinion. Other candidates who polled votes were Carter Glass, the sena tor from Virginia; Albert C. Ritchie, Governor of Maryland, and James Ham ilton Lewis, from Illinois, whose sar torial effects have never been questioned at the Capitol. •t ************** n * £ g * ALL DELEGATES RELEASED. .* ?■ IK : i- )K (By the Associated Press) % Madison Square Gar-den.

July 7.—Announcement was made at one 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 Waiter Reid army hospital of septic poisoning. Coming after many hours of anxious watching at the bedside when hope all but been abandoned, the change gave some encouragement.

C., July I. —The American flag must be given the proper recognition nnd respect nnd used in the moost sacred ways yi the region where Miayor Robinson of this city has any jurisdiction. He not only says so but he shows that, he means it, for issues orders and then enrriee them oout him self. This was evidenced the other day when a negro minstrel 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 tlfe grounds that it was being used ns an advertisement which is an unpatriotic purpose. The minstrel had just started on tt-s' noon day parade which was toi bring at tendance at the night performance when the mayor saw the flag. He went to the leader and told him that the flag must be given up. An argument ensued in which the mayor came out the victor and walked away with the flag proper ly’folded under his arm. The parade con tinued on its course with the aid of the symbol of American liberty. McAdoo Accepts Only on His Own Con ditions. New York, July 6-—William G. Me-.

URGES GLASS AND WALSH Richmond Paper Says Both Sides Would Accept Virginian. Richmond, Va., July s.—The Rich mond News-Leader this afternoon urges the convention to settle upon Senator Glass, with Senator Walsh, of Montana, ns his running mate. “Glass,” says the News-Leader, “ra ins ins one of the very few Democrats of national prominence whose availability has been unimpaired by all the disputes of the convention. He stands almost alone in that he is acceptable to the drys nnd to labor; to the East and to the West, as well as to the South; he has not the ill-will- of the klan, and he right ly enjoys the respect of the Catholics for his courageous advocacy of religious liberty. “If the convention wants victory and conciliation, it can attain both by the nomination of Glass and Walsh.

New York, July 7.—Hie 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 fifteen candidates. In a conference of candidates man agers only the McAdoo people support <*d the plan which would have abrogate*] (he unit and two-thirds rules at the same time that tlie delegates- would be released from all obligations of further sqpport to a particular candidate. The representatives of the other 15 candidates then voted unanimously to ,laj before the ooiovenllou wjicn. at v r».-., assembles at 11 a- m. today the joint statement of their candidates releasing delegates. Having released unconditionally the delegates supporting thorn, all the candi dates save McAdoo will ask the national convention to compel a similar uncondi tional release of the McAdoo delegates ns well. Whether the convention can do more than express its sense in the matter is not certain. At tlie same time a qualified counter proposal submitted to party leaders by McAdoo tonight when ire was asked to join in the action of his 15 opponents, Will be laid before tlie convention as a substitute. It provides thnt the release of tlie 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 nre 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 tlie long conven tion deadlock, the conference then ad journed subject to call and authorized Chairman Hull to go before the con vention when it meets tomorrow morn ing and submit to the Democratic national committee to the two proposals. The situation pointed to a show down' on the question on the convention floor with the Smith and favorite son forces standing solidly on one side and the McAdoo supjrorters on the other. Convention officials wore uncertain whether a simple majority or a Two thirds vote would be required to decide the issue. All Candidates Except McAdoo Sign Resolution. New York, July 6. —Fifteen of the 16 candidates for the Democratic presi 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.

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 uiron 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 lias arrived when in the opinion of this Democratic convention all delegates should be and are hereby released from an -pledges or instructions of any kind whatsoever, touching any candidacy for the nomina tion for President. Statement: The undersigneq 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 completely as il bis name had been with drawn from the convention.” SOM OF PRESIDENT NO IffiiEllTTOOJiy Last Point of Gravity Was Reached This Afternoon on Condition of Calvin Cool idge, Jr., Says Report.

Washington, July 7. —The last point of gravity laws reached this afternoon in the condition of Calvin 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 in 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 hand. After a consultation of physicians early this afternoon, President and Mrs. Coolidge decided to go to the White House for luncheon, indicating that the dwtors felt that their patient was not actually in a dying condition.
