At the end of a lack luster day of opening formalities, the real work of the republican conven tion gathered momentum Tuesday night in renewed attempts to settle the difficulties over prohibition and nomination of a running mate for President Hoover. Just as it has been since the first delegates arrived. those two questions monopolized the general attention. Not even the first get together in the flag span ned expanse of the stadium, or the old time rally call sounded by Sen ator Dickinson of Iowa in his key note speech diminished the criss crossing currents of opinion and rumor. On the surface all was placid enough. For an hour and three- quarters the convention listened more cr les3 apathetically while its offi cers dispatched the routine of organ ization. Occasional applause and several cheering demonstrations for the administration, each lasting a minute or so, provided an outward evidence of harmony that was belied I y talk that ran thru the gathering privately. This gos-sip, none of it conclusive or consistent, led in the main back again to two major expectations. One was that the dyed-in-the-wool ad ministration forces will succeed in having the platform committee rec ommend submission or prohibition to a popular vote, on the understand mg tnat congress would put forth a substitute amendment that might be chosen as an alternative to the eighteenth. Persistent Talk for Dawes The other was that regardless of Charles D. Dawes expressed wish to the contrary, a coterie of delegates will try to stir up a stampede to get him the vice presidential nomination Advocates of renominating Charles Curtis remained undaunted, count ing assuredly on the support of the cabinet members that are seeking to guide the convention as Mr. Hoover wants it to go. !'nder the chairmanship of James R. Garfield, the mild mannered for mer secretary of the interior chosen by the president for the trying as signment, the resolutions committee congregated in the Congress hotel late in the day. In executive session they faced long and arduous hours endeavoring to complete the party expression that the convention will be called upon Wednesday to ap prove. The only outward hint of the fun damental dispute that bothers them came in the closing minutes of the session 01 the convention. It was when Nicholas Murray Butler in a voice so low that he could not be heard above the confusion on the floor, presented his proposed plank for repeal with the request that it be referred to the Garfield commit tee. The assemblage in the main had no Inkling of what it was about un til after Senator Dickinson had said the request would be granted, and abruptly adjourned the gathering until 11 a. m. central daylight time. Moments later the 1,154 delegates, and their alternates and the thou lands of spectators had risen in their seats and were on their way. Only Minor Interest. That the day's formal proceedings held little interest for the party clan was evidenced from the outset, for the scheduled starting hour of eleven o'clock arrived with but a fraction of the red-painted chairs oc cupied. Delegates and spectators strode in a few at a time with the national organization talked things over on the sneaker's Dlatform. watching quietly for a chance to be gin. An American Legion band, the Buckeye Republican . Glee club from Columbus O., and an organist play ing on the $200,000 instrument of the stadium took turns on martial and sentimental tunes.

CST, every Monday evening! next welcomed the convention and won applause for themselves. Then the trumpet-tongued Senator from Iowa was ceremoniously escort ed from his delegation's place to the platform, to enunciate the positions and contentions of the party on which all could agree. He ignored prohibition. Before getting far in the reading of his twenty-two page address, he brought forth the first short demon stration by a reference to Lincoln, followed with the statement that the party bad met in another grave hour to nominate "another stalwart Am erican, Herbert Hoover." First ap plause ran its course, and then the delegates stood cheering the Hoover name while Governor Rolph of Call fornia lifted high the state flag of California and waved it.

TRAYL0R BOOMS PROGRESS delegates stood about in consultation, castigated by Dickinson, who said 'two long years hampered the presi dent at every turn."

"Their sole thought was of partisan political ad- or pointing out notables of the party as they arrived, or admiring the red- whitc-and-blue decorations which made the tremendous arena a scene characteristic of such quadrennial political gatherings.

After his resignation unexpectedly last week as president of the Recon struction Finance corporation to re turn to private busincHH in Chicago, General Dawes again wnn drawn In to speculation as a poHsible sucreHsor to Vice President Curtis. Chicago. Charles G. Dawes' an nouncement he was not a candidate for the vice presidential nomination was accepted generally in republican j convention circles as overturning' Chicago. Two proposed national tickets emerged from the gossip about the democratic presidential race. Tltcy xvcro "Roosevelt and Traylor" pud "Traylor and Roosevelt." Mel vln A. Traylor. Chicago banker and imio of the "dark horse" candidates for ptrntdent. was visited by James A. Farley, ro-ordinator of the Roose velt forces. Mayor Cermak, Illinois democratic leader and ally of Tray lor, also conferred with Farley. The rumor was thus revived that Gov. Roosevelt would welcome the Chicago banker on the ticket with him if he succeeds In winning the presidential nomination. Meanwhile from the campaign headquarters set up by Traylor's friends, came the statement that "democratic success might well be assured If the party could promise a Traylor-Roosevelt administration."
