'"WAmio.' the convention has at vottqW w&olved itself into a contest between the 'dry and "wet* forces.

San Francisco correspondent of tte New YoTk Times, describing the balloting on Saturday evening, savs six billots were cut, during which the Votes fluctuated between Messrs Palmer, Cox, and McAdoo, none of whom showed distinctive gains. Mr. Davis, for a ttae, gßised a number of votes, and it believed he would become the com- -.. promise- candidate. Mr. Davis, however, lost ground in the last two ballots, and when the Convention adjourned until Mohdty the situation still presented a serious deadlock. It. was expected the deadlock would fcive the leaders an opportunity to ara re-alignment of forces over HBjJoay, with a probable quick nominatkm when they re-convened—Aua.-N.Z. t Cable Assn. A CONFUSED OUTLOOK. - RE-SHUFFLING OF SUPPORT. Beceived Jnly 5, 5.5 pjn. New York, July 4. , . The Saa Francisco correspondent of the New York Times says the Demo- * critic Party leaders of such pivotal as..New York, Illinois, Minnei sot% and Indiana have openly predicted that should a decision be reached be- : twejtt tham to cast their support to one of the three leading candidates he .would te nominated. Considerable interest attaches to & , Statement by Mr. Taggart, leader of . the . Indiana delegation, that the nomi-, nation of either Mr. McAdoo or Mr. Cut Would be acceptable to him. The Indiana delegation yesterday cast its thirty votes to Mr. Cox. Political obMrvers asked the question whether this Would . materially alter the situation on Monday. 1 T6* tame correspondent states that, detpite an all-day conference on Sunday, the leaders of the combinations forming « tlw interests of Messrs Cox, McAdoo, * tad Palmer remained firm. The Palmer and .Cox forces persisted in their opposi- . tin to Mr. McAdoo. There are many predictions that Cox; Palmer, and McAdoo Will only succeed in killing each other off, leaving the field open for a coirotomiie candidate. HfcMfc Davis and Colby are now pro- . minently mentioned as two of the HkeIfcsfc compromise candidates. It is pointed out that both men would obtain the rapport of President Wilson, . .Who continues to dominate the Con- . t«tion.: i - Observers say the Palmer and Cox - ■ -forces could not withstand President KVilson's opposition should it develop. In flu* event of Mr. McAdoo being definitely out of the running, it is seen fkftt a candidate to obtain nomination most te assured of President Wilson's •fproral.—'Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
