SILZER EXTENDED 30 MINUTE DEMONSTRATION (Continued From Page One) carbon copies of a letter he received from R. F. Walker, chief justice of the Missouri supreme court, protesting against the Missouri delegation casting its vote for McAdoo. The letter aroused keen indignation among the McAdoo faction in the declination. Judge Walter wrote that he made a thorou canvass of Missouri confession since the Springfield convention and "the masses of our people do not favor McAdoo's nomination." The letter served to emphasize the radical factional differences which divide the Missouri delegation. A second time Chairman Walsh was forced to call the convention to order while O'Dullian spoke. ade around the room. After circling once alone, Pennsylvania came in as did Rhode Island and the Jerseyites took advantage to again cart the picture of Governor Silzer. Congressman Berkley restored order by heavy pounding with his gavel. "A speech was made inviting all ex-service men to meet at the Imperial hotel tomorrow morning at which time they will endeavor to agree upon an ex-soldier for vice president. By this time the broad center alsie of the garden was again choked up with casual visitors from Jersey and New York.

Walter Hagen of New York, American professional golfer, this afternoon won the British open golf title in a thrilling duel with E. R. Whitcombe, English professional. Hagen won the title by one stroke. The American had to do 77 or better on the final round to defeat Whitcombe, who had a total of 302 to his credit when he finished his two days play. Hagen played his last round in 77, giving him a total of 301. The final standings: 1—Walter Hagen of New York, 301. 2—E. R. Whitcombe, England, 302. Tied for third — MacDonald Smith, Calif., and Frank Ball, Eng. 304. A huge crowd followed the American golfer when it was seen that he had a grand chance to win. Both Whitcombe and Hagen were extremely nervous and played poor golf when they started on even terms on their final round. Hagen, however, recovered his "nerve" before the Britisher. Whitcombe went out on the last round in 43. Hagen lettered this by two strokes, going out in 41. Coming back the Englishman played "his game" and shot the last nine holes in 25. Hagen took one more stroke than Whitcombe on the final nine holes. Hagen's finish was most exciting. Huge crowds pressed up to the last hole. On the final hole he drove well, but was long on his approach. He needed to sink a six yard putt to win and he sunk it. HAGEN MAKES BID FOR BRITISH OPEN HOYLAKE, England, June 27. Walter Hagen, one of the "big four" from America, made a strong bid for the British golf title this morning when he went around the course in 74 for a to- The letter aroused keen indignation among the McAdoo faction in the delegation. Judge Walter wrote that he made a thorow canvass of Missouri sentiment since the Springfield convention and "the masses of our people do not favor McAdoo's nomination." The letter served to emphasize the radical factional differences which divide the Missouri delegation. A second time Chairman Walsh was forced to call the convention to order while O'Sullivan spoke. The end of O'Sullivan's somewhat lengthy speech was the signal for a demonstration for Governor Bryan, led by the Nebraska delegation. The McAdoo delegations seemed to be following the lead of Tom Taggart and paying all the native sons some compliments against the time when the real voting of this convention begins. Nebraska started a parade, Georgia fell in behind then Oregon and Montana. Florida dropped in on the second lap. The Nebraskans waved small American flags as they marched. All marchers do in this convention. When the call of the roll was resumed, Nevada passed and New Hampshire then sent forward Francis Clyde Keefe to place in nomination Governor Fred H. Brown of that state. New Jersey was called and John A. Matthews of Newark, formally tossed Governor George S. Silzer's hat into the ring. The Jerseyites applauded vigorously. When quiet was restored, Elmer H. Geran of New Jersey made a short speech seconding the nomination of Silzer, at which the noise broke out afresh. Congressman Alben W. Berkley of Kentucky, took up the gavel at this point. The roll call proceeded. New Mexico passed, as did N. Carolin and then North Dakota sent up J. P. T. O'Connor. O'Connor added North Dakota's endorsement to the McAdoo candidacy. He spoke with great feeling about agricultural conditions in the northwest, particularly in the Dakotas and the states hard hit in the wheat depression. He dwelt upon McAdoo's record as secretary of the treasury and particularly McAdoo's efforts while in Washington to relieve the credit stringency in the northwest. New York, New Jersey and other anti-klan states jumped to their feet with cheers, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Montana, Indiana and all other states stayed in their seats. New Jersey's state standard was seized and started on a parperial hotel tomorrow morning at which time they will endeavor to agree upon an ex-soldier for vice president. By this time the broad center alsole of the garden was again choked up with casual visitors from Jersey and New York. The Kansas and Missouri delegates began yelling for Barkley to have the alles cleared. He responded by ordering it done but the police went at the task half heartedly and without much success. The clerk resumed calling the roll. Oklahoma passed. Pennsylvania sent forward Mrs. Emma Guffey Miller of Pittsburg, who seconded the nomination of Smith. FAMOUS COMEDIANS IN "HILL BILLY" Jack Pickford uses three of the funniest men of filmland in his latest photoplay, "The Hill Billy." At the United tonight and Saturday. Two of the comedians are of the old school having been starred in own rights for several years. They are Billy Franey, Harry Todd and Snitz Edwards. "The Hill Billy" is a tremendous melodrama of the Kentucky mountains with Jack Pickford better than ever before, swift action, love sorry—all in all a good clean picture for all the family. Buddy Messenger, the popular boy comedian, in his latest two-reel comedy, will be an added attraction. The Pathe current news events with its latest news in pictures will make up a splendid show. Saturday Kiddies Day Children will have a big time Saturday at the United matinee. The management has arranged a program that will be remembered by the kiddies for a long time.

COUNCIL SEEKS RELEASE FROM EDISON CONTRACT (Continued From Page One) that the growers were so stirred up over the company's action that it would be difficult to make them conform anyhow. One grower, he averred, had 35 men in the field when the power was turned off. These men had to be paid and the grower lost heavily. Delimling answered that the company had had no time to give warning. Garden Grove was made an exception in the case of pepper growers, who claimed that they would suffer a heavy loss if they were forbidden to irrigate. All over the Santa Ana power district consumers now are drawing on their July quota, Deimling HAGEN MAKES BID FOR BRITISH OPEN HOYLAKE, England, June 27. Walter Hagen, one of the "big four" from America, made a strong bid for the British golf title this morning when he went around the course in 74 for a total of 224 for the 54 holes. Hagen's good card tied E. R. Whitecombe who was leading the field up to that time. "Long Jim" Barnes, the American professional was practically eliminated when he took 79 for his third round, giving him a total or 234. Barnes was weak on his approaches and his putting was bad. MacDonald Smith of California, one of the American "big four" and one of the favorites, went into a tie with Duncan when he made the third round in 77, for a total of 227. Frank Ball, also tied Duncan and Smith, turning in a card of 74 for the third round. G. Gadd had a total of 232 when he finished the third round in 74. If Hagen can keep his brilliant pace of this morning in the afternoon round, he stands an excellent chance of regaining-the championship. Whitcombe is playing a strong, steady game. He holds the best record of the competition to date with 70 strokes on his second round. If he can duplicate that performance this afternoon he likely will be returned the winner. But Hagen is fighting hard and apparently will give the Englishman the stiffest kind of a battle. Barnes was eliminated when he played his final round in 75, for a total of 309. MacDonald Smith also fell by the wayside when he finished with a card of 77 for a total of 304. Ball made the final round in 77, total 304. E. R. Whitcombe, the leader after yesterday's play, took a 77 morning, making his total 224, three strokes under Smith and Duncan. P. Boomer had 229 a morning round of 76. Gene Sarazen, American professional champion, and Arthur Havers, present British open golf champion, lost whatever chances they had when they returned poor cards on their morning rounds. Sarazen made the round in 84 for a total of 242. Havers took an 81, his total being 242. George Duncan, the British professional, loomed up as a dangerous contender with 74 for his last hole. On the final hole he drove well, but was long on his approach. He needed to sink a six yard putt to win and he sunk it. New Treatment Never Fails to End Piles Many sufferers from Piles or Hemorrhoids, have become despondent because they have been led to believe that their case was hopeless, and that there was nothing in the world to help them. To these people we say "Go to Gibson's Drug Store, and get an original box of MOAVA SUPPOSITORIES." One of these inserted into the rectum according to directions will be found to give immediate relief. They reach the source of the trouble and by their soothing, healing, antiseptic action first allay the pain and soreness, and then by direct contact with the ulcers and piles cause them to heal up and disappear forever. It's simply wonderful how speedily they act. Blessed relief often comes in two days. Even in cases that have steadily resisted all known treatments, marvelous results have been obtained. All druggists dispense MOAVA SUPPOSITORIES in the original box or can get it for you on short notice. BRITISH AVIATOR LEAVES RANGOON RANGOON, India, June 27.

Down this way, where automobile racing attracts almost as much interest as Jack Dempsey, a row is waxing merry over the use of Leon Duray of a super-charger on his winning 1925 Miller speed wagon. The super-charger, a device used to increase "pickup" power, has been protested by Eddie Richards, holder of the A.A.A. dirt track records; Ralph DePalma and others, who assert that a decided advantage has been given Duray in permitting him to use a super-charger. Duray, who speeded home an unexpected winner in the first of the season's races a few weeks ago, gives credit for his super-charger, which, he admits, is a mighty successful affair, to his assistant, Dick Doyle. The device attached to Duray's car by Doyle resulted in the French racing driver turning in a sensational performance, distancing the dare-devil, DePalma. Interest in auto racing is growing in jumps here and crowds at the track are highly enthusiastic. FOR YOUR VACATION SPECIAL : CASH : SALE! NORWALK CORD TIRES All sizes.
