G. O. P. Sniffs Smoke of Battle in Vice Presidency Clash Bowden's Stand Gives Impetus to Hoover Boom Cabinet Member Said to Re Acceptable to Coolidge— Score of Others, Includ ing Iowans Mentioned. Bt Aisoflufed Profit. tCleveland, O, June 9—Th* con test lover the vice presidency has eivoj>. the republican national con vention its first smell of the smoke of battle 1 Tk* fall of the gavel at the open •» ing**session tomorrow morning will f'mC President Coolidge's nomination virtually an accomplished fact and the,* major tenets of the party plat form a? good as agreed upon; hut the race for second place on the ticket will still be anybody's. Almost a. score of full-fledged vice rrestdential booms were actively un der way tonight and the passing of the hours appeared to complicate rather than clarify the situation. The name of Secretary Hoover was heard more and more often in the swirl of convention eve speculation, but no I one seemed to know whether the tide really was turning to him or whether it was only one of those unorganized drifts of opinion that get nowhere. Frank O. Lowden. despite his reit erated refusal to be a candidate, still was declared in the running by those who are insisting that the party should put him on the ticket by an exercise of the draft. Acceptable to Coolidge. Mr. Hoover is said by his support ers, who include some of those high in the councils of the adipinistra tion, to be one of the candidates emi nently acceptable to President Cool idge. But the same is being said of others and the delegates waited throughout today- in vain for any word from the Coolidge managers definitely indicating a preference. The list of those whose names were linked with the vice presidency tn the days discussion and gossip reached large proportions. There was a revival of talk for Senator Borah of Idaho, although his friends said definitely he would not accept. Senator Curtis was strongly endorsed bv some scattered groups, although the delegation from his own states voted 22 to 1 for Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, with the odd vote going to Albert J Beveridge of Indiana. There was muchc intangihl# talk of Dr. Marion Leroy Burton of Michi gan, hut it was conceded that his strength probably co"u!d not be ee i urately assessed until after he ap . pears before th# convention Thursday io make the nominating spsech for | Coolidge. Iowa Possibilities. Iowans talked of three possible i andidates from their state Judge W. S. Kenyon, Representative L. J. Dickinson and former Representative John W. Good. Minnesota endorsed Charges H. March and the California delegation pushed their boom for C. C. Chapman. Others whose partisans continued at work among the deiega tions included Governor Hyde of Mis rruri. Charles B Warren of Michi gan, ambassador to Mexico: Senator Jones of Washington: Governor Dix on of Montana; Major General James G Harbord, former deputy chief of | staff of the army; and Major General Frank T Hin»«. director of the vet erana bureau. For the most part, the discussion of vice presidential candidacies pro needed with that calm which has been the characterizing feature of the pre-conviction period, but It pro vid»d one sensation In the form of a statement given out and quickly de nied, endorsing Senator Watson of Indiana for second place on the ticket on behalf of Dr H W. Evans, grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. The pronouncement was made by Milton Elrod, a former publicity director for the klan. who said he spoke with the full authority of Dr. Evans, but the grand wizard denied he had made or authorized such a statement or taken any other part in the convention pre llminaries and Senator Watson dts avowed any connection with the In cident or the klan Another Splash. One other splash In the unusually tranquil convention Pond was con tributed by the Wisconsin followers of Robert M. La Follette, who made a public demand that th# party plat form formally condemn the official records of Albert B. Fall and Harry j M. Daugherty and commit, the presi dent to an extra session of congress thi» summer to pass farm relief, rec lamation and railroad legislation. A suggested platform which will he of fered with I-a Follette s approval, likewise would commend the repub licans who voted against the Mellon tax plan and would single out for particular praise various members of the senate insurgent group for their individual activities during the s»* slon of congress just closed Meantime work on the platform was going forward on the basis of several tentative drafts, one of them brought from Washington after it bad been passed around among mem hers of the cabinet and given ap ! proval in a general way by the re sponsible officials of the administra tion. Ambassador Warren, who will head the resolutions committee, was in conference most of the day with ‘ C. Baacom Slemp, secretary to Presi dent Coolidge; Frank W. Ktearns of Boston, the president s personal friend and adviser, William M Butler, chairman designate of the national committee, and others who have brought from Washington an Inti i mate knowledge of the state of Mr. < loildga'a mind regarding the plat \(---'ll Cleveland Faces Street Car Strike; Motorman Offered Vice Presidency By ‘‘BUGS'* BAFR. Hy l ntsertal Press. Cleveland, O , June 9.—Boston may be the huh of the universe, but Cleveland is the hub bub. There is more hubbub here to the square inch than there is In a parade of runaway tin peddlers' carts. Owing to the fact that Cleveland is within easy jumping distance of Bake Erie, all delegates are carefully watched by the supply sergeants. Everybody Is suspected of being a possible vice pnesldent. That Job seems to he about as popular as a spider in a sewing thimble. Bowden has refused It. Hoorer aleo refuse0 to play second fiddle on a hanlo that has lost Its strings. Since America was a litter of pup colonies the ,|oh of vice president has been goared upon with spasms of scorn. But the sentiment seems to be that an office boy is an office boy, high hgt or no high hat It was offered to George Washington when he was crossing the Pela ware. George got so mad he almost grabbed an oar himself. They wanted Bill Bryan to be vice president ?0 years ago It was then that Bill published that famous magazine remark about accepting no substitutes. Since then, this slogan has been plastered on shaving soap, breakfast food and automatic washtubs. Bryan has never been president. But he can also point with pride to his mirror and congratulate his reflection that he has neven been a White House caddy, neither. A man will break his garters scrambling to be s fourth-class post master in a town where all the important buildings are irees. A politician will push the heavens and earth anound like mah Jong tiles in an effort to be appointed proxy to the second consul on the Island of Tap. But mention the quarantined name of vice preeident to anybody in Cleveland and they start leaping for Hake Erie. There is a threatened street car strike in this town and it is all because a motorman was of fered the glory of being vice president In Washington during the fall equinox. When you figure out this Job, It doesn't look as good as It photographs The salary Is small compared with what the bobbed-haired bandits are cleaning up. It Is something like a farmer trying to sell his cabbages to a perfume factory. It means nothing. Tou have got to shave every day for no reason at all. If anything goes wrong, you ere blamed for It. The p’-esiden* can take a trip out of Washington on the Mayflower, hut there is no yacht for his boy friend. The vice president is chained In Washington by an overwhelming majority. He is like a married man at a picnic. He is always holding the baby. If you w-ant this lob. just writ# In and snatch It. Vo qualifl'-etlons sre essential and anonymous letters are welcome And for the next foui years you will he sure of s high silk hat and no plar# to wear It. tCopvrlght. 1124.) form on which he is to go before the people. Ernst Heads Rules Body. Another detail of convention nr ganization was disposed of hy the selection of Senator Ernst of Ken tucky. to head the convention rules committee. Many state delegations held caucuses to perfect their own organization# and select those who will represent them on th® commit tees of the convention. On the Mass* chusetts caucus slate the name of Senator Henry f’abot Dodge was omitted for the firat time In a gen eration and at a meeting of th# Ohio delegation, Harry M Daugherty d® dined to be considered for delegation chairman and declared his only inter est was to vote as a delegate for the nomination of Cooltdge Despite th* momentary thrill of the vie* presidential fight, th# con vention preparation* ss t whole went ahead with almost as much qplet and decorum ss a New England town meeting. The street crowds in the hotel section of the city picked up a little but there wa# non# of the noise end hurry emid which romen tion history usually has been written. Even the delegate# who milled about in hotel lobbies end corridors talked of almost everything except conven tion issues Oniv two or three hours will be taken up by th# opening sea tion tomorrow. National Chairman John T Adams will call the conven tion to order at 11 a. m., there will be a prayer, Representative Theo dore F.. Burton of Ohio will deliver the keynote address as temporary chairman and then after the usual routine of perfecting a temporary or ganization the convention will art journ until Wednesday. The Oregon caucus tonight ordered Secretary Phillip Metsrham to advise former Governor Frank O. T,owdtn of Illtnolsin view of hla declaration that he could not permit, hi* name to go before the convention, that the Oregon primary instructed the dele gation In vot* for him. .

' Oillett, speaker of the house of tep re*entatlves. was today named as the Massachusetts member of the resolu tions committee, succeeding Senator Lodge, who has held that honor for many years.
