HEARST SEEMS TO BE FAR FROM/PLEASED With the Choice of the Dem ocratic Convention.—Miss Margaret Wilson Congrat ulates Davis In Person. (By the Aamdatet Pica".) Now York, July 11.—There remains some wonder as to the position of Wil liam G. McAdoo in the campaign. The New York World prints a front page story suggesting that Mr. McAdoo may form another party, possibly with the nid of W. It. Hearst, whose newspapers have indicated that the publisher is far from pleased with the choice; of the Democratic convention. Mr. McAdoo has maintained silence since sending a telegram to Mr. Davis, limited in effect to the words “Pleasp accept my congrat ulations.” Some of Mr. McAdoo’s friends who doubt the suggestion of a bolt, point out thnt Mr. Davis has re ceived by wireless the congratulations of Bernard M. Baruch, a warm McAdoo supporter in the convention fight, Miss Margaret Wilson. Mr. McAdoo’s sister in-law, and other active McAdoo par tisans. • Miss Wilson was presented to Mr. Davis yesterday, and gave her con gratulations in person. New York papers are frankly skeptic al of the attitude toward the national ticket of Mayor Hylan, who has had the constant support of Mr. Hearst and some even suggest that a Smith-Hylan battle for control of Tammany looms. ' Some political circles expect thnt New York will be the center of the Davis campaign. With 226 electoral votes nec essary for success and with Davis reas onably assured of 147 from the Solid South, plus Maryland and Kentucky, uc cordbig to these opinions, the 45 of the Umpire. State will be vital and next to New Y'ork much attention must be de voted to Ohio, Illinois and Indiuna. The fact that Mr. Davis has indicat ed that he will shortly select a tempor ary residence here is taken to corrobor ate the opinion that New York State will . be the main battleground. , PRESIDENT AND FASftS 11 RETURN TO WHITE HOUSE i President's Father and Mr. and Mrs. ) Stearnes Return With Them. j (By the Associated Press.")

BRAN NOT A MEMBER OF ANY CHURCH Members of His Family Are Baptists, and He Wishes to Be Claimed as Such. i . (By the Associated Press.) New York. July 11.—Although he is not a member of any church. Governor Charles W. Bryan, vice presidential nom 'nee of the Democratic party, wishes to be classed as a Baptist, he said last night when questioned as to his religious affiliations. Mrs. Bryan and the Gov ernor’s children are members of the First Baptist Church of Lincolu, Neb., and Governor Bryan attends this church regularly with them, he said. Governor Bryan's parents were Bap tists, and the Governor was brought up in that religion, although he never for mally affiliated with any church. The vice presidential nominee is a believer in Christianity and a believer in what the chlreh sta/.ds for, he said, but he is not a modernist. John W. Davis, the Presidential nom inee, is a Presbyterian. CHARLES W. BRYAN HAS RECORD FOR ECONOMY Vice Presidential Nominee Instituted Reforms As the Nebraska Governor. Chicago, July 10.—-Charles IV. Bryan, governor of Nebraska and candidate for re-election, nominated early this morn-1 ing as the Democratic vice presidential candidate, attracted national attention by his purchase of a coal yard from which lie retailed the fuel over the state in an effort to reduce prices to the consumer and his efforts to bring about a reduc tion in the price of gasoline. During his term as governor Mr. Bryan claimed to have reduced the num ber of state employes, and to have effect ed a saving of $1,000,000 in operating expenses of the state government. Governor Bryan in 1015 was selected to be mayor for the elected city com missioners of Lincoln and immediately pushed city gas rate legislation that had been slumbering for years. Later he established a municipal coal yard. He was elected governor after a truce was declared between the Nebraska Dem ocratic factions to which he and his brother, William Jennings Bryan, be longed, and that with which Gilbert M. Hitchcock, former United States senator, was affiliated. Upon election Mr. Bryan faced the problem of .working with a Republican tepislnturs and in. commenting ■dtc Stia record in office before the Democratic state convention in Omaha last May, de clared that where pledges he had made had failed of fulfilment Republican leg islators were responsible. Charles W. Bryan became identified with his brother .in Nebraska politics in 1806. Together they warred against the saloons. In the same year Sir. Bryan was appointed a member of Gov ernor Holcomb's staff. When the publication the ‘‘Commoner” was started in 1001 Charles W. Bryan became assistant editor, William Jen nings being editor and publisher. The paper in recent years ceased publication, j William Jennnings Bryan moving to ! Florida. Governor Bryan was born in Salem, j Illinois, February 10, 1807. He was a educated at the University of Chicago. 0 When a young man he went to Lincoln, t Neb., where William Jennings Bryan c had preceded him. t A short while later he went to Omaha. There he worked as a traveling sales man, but soon returned to Lincoln and became active in politics. f Governor Bryan married Miss Eliza beth Broknw, of Salem, Illinois, there November 29, 1892. They have two children, Mrs. E. W. Harnesberger, 22 ] years old, of Ashland, Neb., and Silas i Millard Bryan, aged 30, a practicing at- ! torney of Minneapolis, Minn. t Governor Bryan is not a member of i any church. ■ Mrs. Bryan and the two : children are members of the Baptist ] Church. With the nomination of Governor j Bryan, Lincoln achieves. the distinction of having been the home of the vice presidential candidates of both major parties, Charles G. Dawes, of Evanstown, 111., the Republican vice presidential nominee, having practiced law in Lin coln from 1887 to 1894. DAVIS CONFERS WITH BRYANS William J. Says to Hint, “I Am at Your Command.” New York, July 10. —After a crowded ' day, during which he surrendered good ' naturedly to a throng of admirer* and ’ photographers who beseiged him repeaj ' edly at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, John ' W. Davis, Democratic nominee for President tonight escaped from an in ! undation of congratulatory telegrams, ' had a conference for about an hour with CharleH W. Bryan, his running mate, and William Jennings Bryan and pre -5 pared to go to his country home at Locust Valley, Long Island, for a brief ] rest before taking up detailed plans for _ his campaign. t William J. Bryan, when he left Mr. . Davis, was asked if he would take an i active part in the campaign and said: “I will help if I can after I have a rest.” When William J. Bryan, who had op posed Mr. Davis' nomination, met the n nominee in a corridor of the hotel im r. mediately after Mr. Davis’ meeting with h newspaper men this morning, Mr. Bryan held out his hand, smiled and said: “I am at your command."

DAVIS NOMINATION VS BLOW TO G. 0. P Washington Leaders Would Have Pre ferred Any Foo to Able Lawyer- Statesman. Washington, July 10.—John William, Davis—law professor, country lawyer. Congressman, Solicitor General of the United States, Ambassador to Great Bri tain, president of the American Bar As sociation —these rungs that mark his phenomenally quick art’ent of the ladder to international prominence and fame convey but a fragment of the picture. Cultured Statesman. The John W. Davis known to Wash ington as the quiet, cultured, forceful statesman who is profoundly respected and admired by men of all political par ties. When a member of the House he spoke seldom but always so a larger, at tendance than any maij of his day com manded. Mr. Davis has probably won more cases before the United States Supreme Court than any of his contemporaries at the bar. He was dismissed by poli ticians a few months ago ns a Presi dential possibility because he was cata logued in the fast-vanishing breed of statesmen who live and act by principle instead of politics. LaFollette Is Silent. Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin, , probably will assail Davis. But this afternoon found LaFollette silent' and his advisers disconcerted. They believe they can make political capital by ac cusing Davis of being a “Reactionary,” or at least a “Conservative.” and by hprping on the fact that among the clients of his law firm is the politically obnoxious house of Morgan. I But LaFollette and his adherents rec ognize Davis has a stronger claim upon the attention of the labor elements of the country than almost any man ina*p tioned for the Presidency. As author of the Clayton act, as counsel for unions, as one of the reading champions of work men’s compensation laws, Davis, they realize, stands upon a cold record that is hard to blast with political assaults upon his legal clients. Republican politicans would have pre ferred any other nominee to Davis. Wherever Republicans were gathered this afternoon there was tin* same dis appointment that cut of the chaos of the convention, which had been a growing delight to them, should come the one figure who commands the respect and admiration of all parties, the man who was supposed to be safely eliminated as “too much of a statesman aud not enough of a politician.” ’ Samuel Gompers is away, but there was no doubt expressed at American Federation of Labor headquarters that the A. F. of 1a will be behind Davis. aet -fe often, hibm^ not forgotten among' the Federation ists'. Nor is Davis’ record in championship of liberal legislation affecting labor forgot ten. Party Prestige Saved. One of the most prominent Republi can leaders declared this afternoon that the Democrats had retrieved all the prestige they may have lost during the convention deadlock by uniting on Davis. This Republican called Davis the best equipped man in either party for the Presidency. Everywhere there was the (greatest surprise that Davis should emerge tri -1 uinphant from the malestrom of Madison 1 Square. Every professional had relied upon the eternal paradox of politics that ■ Davis was too big a man to be accept -1 able. For months prominent leaders of both parties have said in one breath 1 that Davis va)< the best man the Demo -1 crats had and in the next that he could notbe nominated. WALTER MUIR HANGED Strenuous Efforts Had Been lifade to Get a New Trial. (By the Associated Press.) Montreal, July 11.—Walter Muir, of New York, was hanged at Vnlley Field, Quebec, early today, for the murder last September of Henri Lavoilette. Muir shot Lavoilette after a quarrel in a bar room. According to court testimony Loivette had struck Muir’s friend, a crip pled friend. Not until the noose was slipped was it certain that sentence would be carried out, so unremitting had been the efforts of the Countess of Richelieu, Mrs. Walter Muir, the boy’s mother, and scores of other persons to obtain a new trial. Muir claimed that when he drew his pistol during the quarrel he only meant to scare Lavoilette. He fired two shots into the floor, one of the bullets glancing and striking the man in the breast. Davis and Bryan Make Peace Publicly. New York, July 10— John W. Davis and William Jennings Bryan buried the hatchet today in the Myrtle room at the Waldorf-Astoria. While the new nominee was receiving newspaper correspondents, the Common er, who had attacked Davis in the con vention, approached and they shook hands cordially. “I didn’t want to see you last night, because I didn’t want to do anything that might be embarrassing to you,” Bryah said. “I am counting very much on your help for winning this campaign, Mr. Bryan,” Davis responded warmly; witli a smile. “I shall be glad to do anything I can,” Bryan replied. “Tank you; I shall appreciate having! a private conference with you some I ■ time.” . To which the Commoner answered: “I am at your service at any time at i all.” i All Sales of Treamtty Savings Certifl ettfas SupnM. Washington, July 11.—The Treasury - today ordered suespended all sales of i Treasury savings certificates and stamps, t effective July 15th. Acting Secretary Winston said the present money market did not warran the Treasury paying 4 1-2 . per cent interest on the savings securi . ties when funds may be obtained at a much lower interest. | Just' About All In ___ This remarkable snapshot of William Jennings Bryan was caught near the end of (he Democratic convention when the “Commoner,” weary from arduous sessions and a bit dispirited by unfriendly receptions given him, shows in his face that he is an old man whose political race lc riu> - COX WORKED FOB VOTES FOR JOHN W. DAVIS Confered With Ohio Delegation Just Before Night Session in West Vir ginian’s Behalf. New York World, 9th- James M. Cox spent yesterday in Madison Square Garden trying to eliminate the confusion contributed to the deadlock by the minority candidates and to effect, party harmony. The former Ohio Governor, announcing himself definitely out as a candidate, came into the situation as the titular head of the party. He conferred with representatives of the dark horses and although he kept confidential the names of those he saw they were understood to include repre sentatives of all candidates except Gov. Smith and William G. McAdoo and Rerastor Ralston. -*r •*. • - Mr. Cox’s first more wn« to throw a few more votes to Gov. Smith, hoping later to trade on them. His real fight, however, was on hehalf of John W. Davis. He believes Mr. Davis should be the Democratic nominee and tried to get friends of other minority candidates to agree. His setback came almost im mediately when he found he could not deliver his own State’s delegation to Davis. On the ninety- third ballot, most of the Ohio delegates divided their votes among Gov. Smith, Senator Ralston and Senator Underwood. In an eleventh-hour effort to swing Ohio’s forty-eight votes to Davis, Cox conferred with the delegates before the night session of the convention opened. RALSTON IS PLEASED BY CHOICE OF DAVIS It Woukl Be Hard to Select an Abler Candidate. Hoosier Senator Declares. Indianapolis, July 9.—Senator Sam uel M. Ralston made the following statement when he learned of the nomi nation of John W. Davis: “It would be hard to select, from our party a man who could more ably present its cause that John W. Davis. Ho is in the prime of life, he is a high grade gentleman and one of the really great lawyers of our country. I shall be constant support throughout the campaign.” Senator Ralston sent the following telegram to Mr. Davis: “Mrs. Ralston joins me in warmest of congratulations to you and Mrs. Davis on your nomination for Presi dent- I shall . McAdoo booked steam ship passage for Europe yesterday. He is going for an extended stay—at least a month, possibly a good deal longer. He will leave before the end of the week, possibly today. He is sore at his defeat and hitter at the unfair treatment, lie claims to have received in New York City and at the action of some of Ms chosen delegations in deserting him before they were told to go.

About fifteen ne.wspapermen found their way through the gloom which per vaded tlie Vandervilt Hotel yesterday to M!r. MoAdoo’s headquarter)! on the eighteenth floor. The attendants were busy taking down MeAdoo-for-President signs. Now and then one of the women members of the delegations and a few of the leaders drifted to by offer con dolences. Word came out that Mr. McAdoo was preparing a statement, but wished to submit it to friends before issuing it. Half an hour passed and one of the ex-candidates’a confidential men came ont with the word, “Mr. McAdoo will have no comment to make.” Even those who have been in Sir. McAdoo’s confidence apparently do not know whether this means the Cali fornian will refuse to mipport the candidate of the Democratic party, or not. Smith Will Back Davis Loyally. Charles S. Hand in New York World. John W. Davis, in the opinion of Gov- Smith. is Presidential size and a formidable candidate. He will have the loyal support of the New York exec utive and of the city and State or ganizations. Mr. Smith certainly will , exert himself in the West Virginian’s . behalf. He will speak for him. when re quested, in New York or elsewhere, . proving by word and act that there , lingers in his hear no rancor because the convention rejected him. In conversation with several sup porters last evening Mr. Smith referred - to the Democratic nominee as “Davis of - New York and West Virginia.” This . slogan was adopted b.v other among the f Smith zealots, who, though keenly dis r appointed over the failure ot Mr. , Smith to obtain the nomination, pur ? pose to demonstrate their party fealty in no unmistakable way during the coming •- campaign. 1 Concerning the part Smith played in - making possible tlie selection of Davis; both the Governor and his friends pro -9 fer to have the convention's own record t speak. It eloquently reveals, they be a lieve, that Mr. Smith saved the party , from inevitable disaster by preventing the nomination of William G.

HOW McADOO BOOM FAILED WHEN IN SIGHT OF GOAL Loyalty of Virginians to Glass Kept Vote Below Majority. Madison Square Garden, July 9. | Out of the debris comes the story of) where the McAdoo movement faltered) and fell back when it was in sight of a goal. On July 4th the McAdoo forces stood | at their Marne when they pushed their | vote of 530—within striking distance | of a majority. If they could get a | majority they proposed to make a power-1 fill play to abrogate the two-thirds wile. | They appealed tot the Glass delegation | from Virginia to join them, but the del-) egation stuck to Glass. For the next | four ballots the MeAdoo field marshals) managed by one device or another to | keep their strength aronnd the same level while they used all the powerful arguments fit their command tto induce) the Virginia delegation to come over. | But the effort was in vain. The Vir-| ginia delegates stuck to Glass when a turn of their 24 votes would have given) a majority of the convention to McAdoo) and possibly jerked the key from the log rush on to victory. From that point the McAdoo vote steadily declined nnder the battering of the big drive of the coalition and only recovered some of its former strength when, spurred on b.v McAdoo himself, his workers raised its level again just before' he released his delegates. Every convention has its “inside story” of how it happened. This is the accepted explanation of how it happened in 1924. j APPLES CAUSE THE , DEATH OF A CHILD Small Son of Dr. and Mrs. Grogan of Near Madison is Dead. Madison.

HOPE TO ACT IN NEXT FEW DAYS Will Make His First Public Address on the Campaign Issues After He Has Been Formally Notified. (By tbe Associated Preii.) Xew York. July 11.—After his first good rest since the Democratic Conven tion opened. John W. Dnvis today arose at 8 o'clock, and left at 9:30 o'clock by motor for his home at Locust Valley for Xew York to tackle at once the prob lem of organization of the Xational Com mittee and selection of a chairman to take charge of his campaign for the Pres idency. On arriving at the home of Frank L. Polk. Mr. Davis had a long talk with Cordell Hull, the present chairman of the Democratic committee, and other party leaders. Organization of the new Xational Com : mittee probably will not formally take place until after the notification cere mony, after which Mr. Davis will make j his first public address on the issues of the election. But the nominee hopes to complete details of the organization of the party's council within the next few days, since the protracted session of the convention has delayed the opening of tlie campaign beyond the customary time. He intends to get as early a start as possible, and if, as he expects, the choice of a chairman is made before the end of next week, Mr. Davis will then take a vacation of about a fortnight in New England. I Mr. Davis ate breakfast overlooking a sunny garden in his country place, then I took a walk among his flowers, leading by the band Dorothy Milstead, the four-year- I old daughter of his superintendent.
