BEGIN BALLOTING ON NOMINATION
(Continued From Page One) spots and issuing final instructions.
Thomas Taggart, the veteran pilot of Senator Samuel Ralston, was exceptionally busy on the floor. He seeing to it that the anti-klan people had copies of a telegram sent by the Indiana senator to his friends, asserting that he is "not a member of the klan or any of its branches."
Ralston's telegram stated that "if nominated, I shall stand on the platform of the New York convention and insist upon every citizen having his constitutional rights scrupulously safeguarded."
It was the expectation when the convention met that at least ten ballots would be taken before an adjournment was proposed.
Bruce Kremer of Montana, one of McAdoo's floor leaders, and Congressman John J. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, one of Smith's lieutenants, hold a conference with Chairman Walsh on the platform just before the session began.
It was 10:27 when Chairman Walsh began pounding for order and instructed the delegates to take their seats.
Invocation was offered by the Rev. George Crastensen of The Holy Road Episcopal church, New York.
"The next order of business," said Walsh, when the minister finished, "is the vote by states on the nomination for the presidency.
Chairman Walsh summoned Jos. B. Shannon of the Missouri delegation to the platform for a conference on whether Missouri's vote was to be cast under the unit rule.
Missouri poll shows: 25, McAdoo; 3, Davis; 8, not voting.
Shannon was given 5 minutes to debate his challenge on the unit rule.
At Shannon's renewed charge that money had been used, there were bisses and boos from the Missouri delegation.
State Senator Ferris of Missouri was then recognized to answer Shannon's argument.
During the balloting, Joseph B. Shannon and Chariza M. Hay of the Missouri delegation almost came to blows. A policeman kept them apart. There were cries of "boo" from the floor and galleries as the individual roll call of the Missouri delegation went on.
Smith made a gain of about 10 votes on the second ballot while McAdoo lost a half vote.
The field continued widely separated among a score of candidates. Both the Illinois and Pennsylvania delegations kept their votes widely scattered.
When Shannon's name was called on the roll in the Missouri delegation, Miss Sarah Turner, his alternate, cast his vote for John W. Davis.

Missouri poll shows: 25, McAdoo; 3, Davis; 8, not voting.
Shannon was given 5 minutes to debate his challenge on the unit rule.
At Shannon's renewed charge that money had been used, there were bisses and boos from the Missouri delegation.
State Senator Ferris of Missouri was then recognized to answer Shannon's argument.
"I do not propose to settle by reference here the controversy that belongs to Missouri. Whether or not this delegation is a representative delegation reflecting the desire of Missouri cannot be disputed for the fact is well known and my colleagues, if fair, would tell you every delegate elected was publicly known and publicly committed to McAdoo long before the state convention."
"We were all elected in a convention of more than 1000 so I contend we were elected to vote as a unit.
He read the resolution as presented by the state convention. It provided that a majority should be able to put in effect the unit rule.
"Is a Democratic doctrine that I can come heer and defy my people?" demanded Ferris. I deny the doctrine as democratic, that a majority shall not control and voice the entire vote of the state."
Walsh ruled that Shannon's protest could not be upheld, as it was contrary to precedent and he ordered the entire vote of Missouri cast for McAdoo.
He then proceeded to read a resolution expressing the regret of this democratic convention at the death of the late President Harding.
The resolution was unanimously adopted by a rising vote.

CHANGE HOURS OF SERVICE STATIONS
The Standard Oil Co., to conserve electric power, has changed its hours from 6 a.m.-10 p.m. to 7 a.m.-8 p.m. By this means it manages to cut its juice from 2900 to 450 watts per day.
