By DAVID LAWREXCK
(C?p?rt?ht. 1921. Si Th, Atf*?nc?>
Madison Square Garden, New Yolk, July 3. ? The endurance
- of the delegates to tile Democratic Xauonul Convention Tfriows ne
bounds.
Most of them are so deter
mined upon their own candi-j
dates that the convention will
probably sit over the Fourth of
July and a record number of i
ballots will be taken.
Little change was anticipated for
today's voting, though here and
there the McAdoo camp expected de
fections. Oklahoma started the hall
rolling by voting for Senator Robin
son of Arkansas. Other states are
inclined to compliment Robinson
too, and. In the parlance of the con-j
ventlon, after Robinson has had his;
"ride" there will be h tendency t??i
get behind Senator Ralston of Indi
ana to see what strength he may de
velop.
The tacticB of giving favorite sons
a chance are designed to batter |
down the two leading candidates but
the principal effort is directed
against the McAdoo states. Inas
much as Oklahoma left the fold to
vote for former Senator Owen only I
to come back to McAdoo last night. |
the supporters of the former Secre
tary of the Treasury were not in the
least perturbed today. "We can have
Oklahoma back whenever we need !
their 20 votes." said Thomas I). !
[Love, the McAdoo leader from Tex
as.
Certainly the fluctuations of Mis
souri and Oklahoma have not had
the significance iht^y would other
wise have if the vote were perma
nently kept In one place. Talk of
a conference of representatives of
the leading candidates still contln
n? but Judge David Rockwell, the
McAdoo manager, said today he
?would enter a conference only if Mc
Adoo were given the same propor
tion of voting strength in such a
council as he had delegates In the
convention Itself. This is only an
other way of saying that Rockwell
would not compromise but would
make another efTort to dictate the
selection of McAdoo.
From all this the reader con in
fer that the* two score or more of
ballots which have been taken have
not In the least worn down the two
leaders and that It may take another
20 ballots before either Smith or
McAdoo will concede defeat and be
ready to talk compromise.
The real reason for the deadlock
In this convention, is not merely the
tug of .between McAiloo " -??d
Smith but the tenacity of the favor
ite sons. Virginia favoring Senator
Carter Glass, Arkansas with Senator
Hoblnson, Indiana with Senator
Ralston, Alabama with Senator Un
derwood, Maryland with Governor
Ritchie and Ohio with James M.
Cox all Insist upon sticking to their
own men without helping either of
the two leaders.
Ordinarily In a convention of so
many ballots the favorite sons are
dlMltld at an early stage of the
game because It Is apparent that
their respective candidates cannot
get anywhere. In this convention,
however, the strength of McAdoo
and Smith having for several weeks
been discounted, the favorite sons
think they have a good chance, so
they are wearing out the leaders
and trying to make the McAdoo and
Smith dolttgfttnn ?n thrm. Tlrrrf
Is no cohesion between the favorite
sons but a common purpose holds
them as tightly together n? if th< y
had an Iron bound agreement to
block Smith and McAdoo.
The balloting lias already exceed
ed the record of the Ilaltimore and
San Francisco conventions and will
probably go to 60 ballots before
there Is a decision.
The best proof of the character of
the deadlock which Is holding back
a nomination Is the vote of the for
ty-fifth ballot. The combined vote
of McAdoo and Smith amounted to
802H. which leaves 20514 votes
among the favorite sons. McAdoo
with 4 A3 needed 249 vote* to reach
two-thirds, while Governor Smith
with 319 needed 413. The strategy
of the McAdoo forced has horn to at-|
tain a majority which Is 550, hoping
that th* intlmental effect of such i
an achievement would bring the fa
vorite sons Into line and would fur
nlsh the necessary two-thirds.
But there appears to be a consist- j
ent effort to prevent McAdoo from |
reaching even a majority. Virginia
Is friendly and so Is Indiana and.l
while there Is a cbance they may I
break to McAdoo during the day, the
attainment of a majority will not be1
a vital factor. The Smith men say
they will refuse to recognize It and 1
they have enough to veto It. Champ!
Clark had a majority for several bal
lots at Baltimore, but was ultimate
ly '?aten by Wilson; so there Is pre
cedent for Ignoring a majority vote.
The flght has become to some extent
a wet and dry controversy. William
Jennings Bryan's speech has solidi
fied the drys. Over night hundreds
of telegrams came to the delegates
from drys urging them not to sup
port a wet but to name a dry. Mr.

IIARI) WIND STORM
HITS DARE COUNTY
I Manteo, July 3. ? So far no death
j nor serious injuries have been re
ported as results of the whirlwind,
cyclone, or whatever it may be
I termed, the hardest wind that has
passed through this section since the
j cyclone in February of 1919 that did
; so much damage at Wanchese, turn
ing houses around and turning some
over, passed through hero about 3
.o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
| The hardest of the wind did not
last many minutes but such as own
I ings and large trees stood very lit
tie show while It was passing.
The gr-iltfl rtom-i-r.. V' ?
; Is the unroofing of a part of the
t Peoples Fee & Storage Company's
ice plant, the total destruction of all
the awnings on the yacht Lotus,
j which was at the time hauled out
i on Creef's railways. and the
i bursting of a fishing boat that was
up on the bank. It Just picked up
? the- boat, threw It back down wlth|
; sijch force that it was. torn up so a
part of it was blown" and drifted to
I the other side of the creek.
If the wind had been as hard on |
the land as It was Just a short dis
tance out In the bay far greater
! would have been the damage. Larger
'boat lying out at anchor were
{thrown down so low that It was
i feared by many who were watching
I them that they would be filled and
| sunk before they could regain the!"
I earlier position.
| People who have come to town
since the storm report a very hard
i wind but nothing compared with
j what it did here.
| Bryan's endorsement of Senator Bal
aton. Senator Robinson and Senator
;Walsh of Montana Is considered sig
nificant. His attack on Davis and
{Smith has had an appreciable effect.
I Incidentally, the chances of Senator
| Walsh of Montana and E. T. Mere
dith of Iowa for Vice President ap
pear to be growing, but with no day
light ahead on tl#> Presidency, the
second place on the ticket Is not get
ting much sttcntion.
Several of the McAdoo delegations
were encouraged today by the cir
culation of the report that Senator
Carter Glass of Virglnls had written
a letter to the Virginia delegation re
leasing them to vote for McAdoo.
