By, GRAFTON S. WILCOX. Chirp to Tribune-Omaha B l,eaaed Wire. J5an Franciscp, July 4. Attorney General Mitchell Parmer still be lieves that he and his supporters in this 'jdemocratic national , convention hold the ' balance of power in the deadlock over the presidential nomi nation. Vith no thought of compromising now or of negotiating with any other group, the Palmer campaign managers conferred today and de cided to hold tight their lines to morrow and to urge Palmer as the logical man for McAdoo and Cox supporters ' to turn to. The Palmer managers analyze their position thus: Palmer . represents all factions' in the deadlock, his support embracing delegates on all sides of the issues in the convention. Palmer has staunch friends from Pennsylvania and ofher states, who represent wet sentiment, and as many more who are on the dry side of the convention prohibition-argument. . '."

"McAdoo represents the dry ele- mpn nf the rtrohibition controversy prohibit and the administration sdie of the other issues exclusively, his chief ad vocates being men affiliated with the government. Cox represents the wets and forces opposed to the Wilson ad ministration. In this situation, as they view it, Mr. Palmer and his leaders insist that Palmer holds the whip hand and tliat he should be the last of the big three to give in, if in fact it will ever be necessary to surrender. ' In any event the present intention of the attotaiey general is never to surrender either to McAdoo or Cox. If surrender must come it will be agreed to only after some sort of deal has been framed to utk over a dark, horse. Who might be the Palmer dark horse, his friendus will not say.

So from early morning until nearly midniglu we just sat fast arid stupidly voted 'for the same favorite sons, even when we knew there wasn't a ghost of a chance to elect them, because there vyasn't anybody to point the way to vic tory, or to pick out for us some body to rally around.

"I left my baby at home, and if, I don't get bach it will be too late to put up .any strawberries," wailed a woman delegate, and midst gobs of gloom so thick you could cut them with a knife the convention adjourned until Monday to resume the leaderless fray. .' : Bryan Is Active.

After 22 futile ballots attended by complete failure of the diverse fac tions to negotiate a compromise the democratic national conventioif, in a deadlock on the nomination of a candidate for president, adjourned at 11:40 o'clock last night until 10 o'clock Monday norning. The day of balloting was a desper ate struggle, between the adminis tration job holders endeavoring to effect the nomination of William G. McAdoo and the antiadministration fcrces, led by George Brennan of Illinois and Charles F. Murphy of New York, directing a vigorous drive' for the selection of Governor Cox of Ohio. , ' In the 20 ballots taken during the day the roll having been called twice yesterday, none of the three major candidates came within shouting distance of the two-thirds majority which is 728 votes. Mc Adoo reached his peak with 395J-S on the 21st ballot. Cox's high-water mark was 468 on the 19th roll call.-Attorney General Palmer shot his bolt with 267 on the 7th. ballot and thereafter declined. Deadlock Unyielding. Tfie unyielfling character of the deadlock is shown, by the vote on the ballots tonight after the conven tion reassembled at"8 -o'clock ' fol lowing a'two-hour recess in which unsuccessful efforts were made to select a compromise candidate. The vote on the thre leading candidates on these ballots were: x McAdoo a.

The earlier part of the day had witnessed a grcaf struggle between the' McAdoo and anti-McAdoo forces. Wilson's Silence Adds td' , Confusion of Situation Auditoriuni, San Francisco, July 4. The Cox, McAdoo and Palmer forces and those hoping to develop a dark horse spent the hours between recess and reassembling at 8 p. m. tonight in hurried conferences and desperate efforts to line up a com promise, ticket. Word from Wash ington that President Wilson was .pursuing a "hands off" policy added to the confusion of the situation. To every argument advanced for some dark horse, objections were heard in opposition. Those opposed to Cox argued the Ohio governor had reached' the maximum of his strength and lost his opportunity when the suspension of the balloting was permitted for thjb recess. Mc Adoo and Palmer forces were im portuned by each other to find a way to stop him. Despite the statements of some administration leaders that "it can not go to Cox" the Cox forces pointed out that the dark horse movement had found no rallying point and that Cox still remained a potential force which from a small number at'the start had taken the lead in the balloting and nosed Mc Adoo out of first place. White House Statement The statement as issued at the White House said: "When a. report was brought to Secretary Tumulty's attention of rumors being circulated in San Fran cisco that the president had ex pressed an opinion with reference to a particular candidate he made the following statement. "'ThIV is news to me.

If the prssidential nominee comes from the widdle west California insists that her claims be recognized for the vice presidential place. Raker, of course, is a dry. He is a good strong administration man, right on suffrage, strong in his war recbrd, popular among the people and pretty well known in the est because of his long service in con gress, where he has taken prominent part in legislative affairs. pf all the candidates mentioned for the vice presidency, the man talked about most in convention hall lobbies is Secretary of Agriculture Meredith of Iowa.

Sai) Francisco, July 4. The day of rest brought to the democratic na tional convention no release from Its 22 ballots deadlock and no, promise of relief tomorrow. Fruitless search for a dark horse' who could Win left the tired, muddled and even exasperated "forces with nothing more tangible than the like lihood of a straight-out fight between Cox and McAdoo and growing hopes that a Moses would spring up from somewhere to lead them out of their wilderness. All ears were cocked toward the White House or the .magic word. For tie first time in 24 years a democratic condition was wdrking without the guiding hand of Bryan and for seven years without - the word of Wilson. There -was spirited guessing, de duction and attempted conclusion at what President Wilson might wish, hope or acqufesc in, but apparent ly nothing more. Wilson Still Silent. Senator Glass confirmed reports that President Wilson was not tak ing any hand in the situation. - "The president has not commu nicated with me regarding candi dates," said Mr. Glass. "A report that, in recent conversations, he had indicated ' men whom he op posed is not true.

Each of the three appears to have a strangle hold on the other two. McAdoo forces in "the. late Saturday night balloting recovered one-third veto power they had lest Cox forces retained theirs stead ily from the time they acquired it in the fifth ballot, although their margin fluctuated.

Though fruitful of schemes and strategems and fertile ki renewed hopes of all factions, Sunday conferences of the democratic leaders, lengthening into all night councils, maneuvering and dickering failed to give promise of breaking the. deadlock on nomina tion of a candidate for president un- til after considerable further ballot ing in the convention tomorrow. None of the factions tonight had reached the stage of willingness to sit down with another and compro mise on a candidate.' None is ready to concede that it is time to consider dark horses. If 'hat time should be reached tomorrow or lat er, the contending groups dividing control of the convention will find themselves pretty far apart on the question of dark horse The administration following dis closes a marked preference for Am bassador John W.

The backers of each candidate were con tending that he had not had a fair chance to devetop full strength and were dcnianding a further run in the convention tomorrow. The' McAdoo leaders consider their cause immensely strengthened f by what they regard as the essen tial weakness of the rival candidates in this convention.
