(By Associated Press.)
HEW YORK. July 7.—-lts course
rnehanged after a day and two

ilgh of deliberation by party lead-
ers d representatives of 16 candi-
dates; the deadlocked Democratic

National Convention was called at 11
o'clock today to resume its efforts
to select a presidential name.

With delegates who have been
supporting Gov. Al Smith and all
other candidates except \Vm. G. Mc-
Adoo unconditionally released. per-
manent chairman Walsh who with
Chairman Hull of the Democratic
National Committee was instructed
Saturday to confer with the candi-
dates' representatives “for the 'pur-
pose of reaching an understanding"
to break the deadlock. had two pro-
posals to report without recommen-
'dation.

One. unanimously endorsed by or
in behalf of all of the candidates ex-
cept McAdoo. calls for action by the
convention itself to compel uncondi-
tional release of tho McAdoo dele-
gates. The other a. ”counter proposal
advanced by Mr. McAdoo, provides.
in conjunction with the release of
delegates. for abrogation of the unit
voting and two thirds nominating
rules. progressive elimination on
each successive ballot of tho candi-
dates receiving' the lowest vote. and

.,full strength voting by state delega-

‘ tions regardless of how many mom-
' bers may be absent.

:y At. a session of the conference
'whlch ended early today subject to
call; the McAdoo proposal received
foo support from any other quartet.

' t was not made clear whether a
'blmple majority or a two thirds vote
.would be necessary for the conven-
‘tion to act on either" proposal or

"firhether it could merely express a

sdesire one way or another.

[lineup Characteristic.

The line up behind the two pro-
posals in the conference proved to be
representative of the solidified. diver-
gence which appeared in the con-
cluding ballots of Saturday‘s session.

,fihich put Smith up to 368 votes on

tithe 76th ballot and left him at. the

."flnish on the seventy-seventh with

5367, exactly the number required to

'Eblock a. nomination under the twa~

til-thirds rule. After the conference.

z‘however. spokesmen for the McAdou
scamp said they had no intention of
lltrying to prevent. a vote by the con-
r'évention on the proposals of the oth—
t'n'en for action releasing all delegates

'—'ing considered by the conference. Mr.

74McAdoo in an address before a rally

agile said " to carry out the manadate

",ies and state conventioi‘is and he re-

}"iterated again and again that he did

:not intend to withdraw.

l A resolution pledging the delegates

'L‘anew to the support of the Californ-

...’ian was I. adopted after his address
which had been preceded by about
an hour of discussion during whch
almost. every mention of his name was
.wildiy cheered and plans were advan-

'ced to organize his women supporters
more closely to work for hs nomna-

. tion. The rally was arranged. it was
emphausized. at no suggestion from
the McAdoo headquarters but by
leaders in various state delegations.

The question of selecting a com-

.promiso candidate was kept in the

."obscure background as a possible
payout. of the diflficulty during the

"'week-end conferences and after the

,‘adjournement early today. Chairman
Hull asserted that such a plan would
be taken up only as a. final extreme
Measure even if the Convention

ifshould give specific authority for its

"?coaaideratlon. None of those taking

lipart. he said. "considered it our

Junction to discuss any compromise

ismdldate."

Favorite Sons' Plan.

E The initiative in the proposal for

5" leasing candidates was taken yes-

,mrday by the representatives of the
'A ourteen candidates in the favorite

{con class. including Senator Glass of

fW/irginia. Senator Underwood of Ala-

. e

' spams. Senator Robinson of Arkansas.

The proposal later was signed by

tion. it. was regarded as placing

the meeting reassembled they pre-
‘. -ted the counter-proposal worked
out with their leader.
After the conference adjourned
x'ith the other fifteen candidates
standing on their own proposal and
asgainst the McAdoo conditions.
3Chairman Hull explained that “the
lConvention can take any action
awhieb it may see fit on this or any
{other suggestion that may be made

their own delegates without any ac—
tion by the Convention. The fifteen
candidates who signed the proposal
will stand by their action regardless
of what Mr. McAdoo does."

Earlier in the day. Smith leaders
had asserted that the releasing ot
delegates was not necessary so far
as they were concerned since none
had ever been bound to their stand-
ard and all of the Governor's sup-
porters had been at liberty through-d
out the balloting to express their own
preference. '

Much of yesterday's discussion was
marked by considerable bitterness.
although none of the details leaked
out of the closely guarded meeting
room. To observers. however. the
immediate effect of the developments
appeared to be a further crystaliza-
tion of the. anti-McAdoo sentiment.
irrespective of varied preferences as
to candidates. in the belief that. with

ing. the convention would be able to
make the choice.

Convention Is

to do about it.
Majority or Two-Thirds?

A straight motion from the floor
to adopt a. proposal changing the
rules would require a two-thirds vote.
but if the proposal could be referred
to the Rules Committee by a majori-
ty vote. it could be adopted by a
majority vote if presented back to
the Convetnlon by the Rules Com-
mittec.

The many canvasses conducted. on
the floor to find out where the fa-
vorite son delegates were going to.
developed that. although released
from pledges. the sentiment of the
individual delegates seemed to be to
stand with their native sons.

At 11:26 day light time. Chairman
“'alsh rapped for order. The Rev.
Wm. L. Phillips. assistant rector of
the Little Church Around the Cor-
ner. offered the invocation.

Resolution of Sympathy

Charles R. \Vilson of Huntington.
“2 \'a.. asked unanimous consent
for consideration of a resolution to
express the sympathy of the Conven-
tion to President and Mrs. Coolidge
in the critical illness of their son.

It was adopted by a rising vote
after applause.

Then Chairman “'alsh asked un-
,animous consent for the report by
himself and Chairman Hull on the
over Sunday deliberations. There
was no objection and the report was
read by the. secretary.

It recited that the conference had
"eon held and that a. document tes-
tifying to the action of the fifteen
minority candidates in releasing their
delegates had been presented. The
text of the agreements was included
in the report and read to the con-
vention. .lt previously had been
published. .

Then as part of the same report
the clerk read McAdoo‘s letter and
counter proposal.

McAdoo's letter as read was the
same as previously published except
that it contained the phrase. “Any
plan for breaking this deadlock
which does not accomplish the pur-
pose will disappoint thc expectations
of the convention."

Bruce Kremer of Montana. a Mo-
Adoo man. moved the suspension of
rules so both sets of proposals could
be referred to the Rules Committee
for report. Newton D. Baker and
“mi. Jennings Bryan both claimed
recognition'of the Chair.

Mr. Baker recognized by the chair
developed that a report of the Rules
Committee favoring a change in the
rules could be adopted by a. majority
of the convention instead of by a
two thirds majority. Chairman
Walsh agreed that was correct.

Noes Have It

On an aye and no vote, the mo-
tion to suspend the rules and refer
the proposals to the rules commltv
tee the noes had it. without a roll
call.

With that the convention went
back to calling the roll of states
for balloting.

The Virginia delegation in the
Democratic National Convention
broke today on the first ballot and
gave ten votes to McAdoo. The re-
maining it went as usual to Sen-
ator Glass.

West Virginia also broke for the
first time and gave 1 vote to Mc-
Adoo The remaining 15 went "as
usual to John W. Davis.

A resolution was offered by form-
or Gov. Gilchrist of Florida after
the 75th ballot. It proposed that
the rules be suspended for the adop-
tion of a resolution which in turn
would adopt the proposals embodied
in the report of the conferees on the
over Sunday negotiations.

The proceedings were held up for
a. moment while McAdoo leaders
conferred on the platform. A dele-
gate wanted the resolution read
again but it developed the official
stenographer had disappeared with
it. The reading was prepared until
the end 0 fthe next ballot. The call
of the roll then went on for the 7&1:
time.

Paulo. Brazil. largest coffee center.
in the world and capital of the coun-i
try's wealthiest state. “as reportedE
early today to be still in the hands:
of the insurrectionm-y forces “‘liichl
took possession of the government
buildings during Friday night and
Saturday morning in a sudden up-
rising markcd by sanguinax-y street;
fighting.

Owing to the strict censorship im’
posed by the federal {smornmt~ t. in
Rio Jancirto and thv- lack of any
communication whatever \“llll Sao
Paulo. the Callsu of the. insurrection
are thus gar unltnoull here. but it:
appears to lo sufficiently formidable
to cause the federal government. at
Rio Jancirn to dispatch troops by
land and sea as well as air forces to
attempt its suppression.

I'rctllet Long Seize.

Those familiar with the topogra-
phy of the country around Sao Paulo
believe that. if the insurrectioonry
forces are strong enough to main-
tsin control within the city.,tl‘my

carrying troops. are reported to have
arrived at Santos yesterday. but
from there Sao Paulo can only be
reached by a cable railway which
ascends 5,000 feet, b'cing otherwise
inaccessible except through difficult
mountain passes. Somewhat similar
topographical conditions made ap-
proach diftlcult from Rio Janciro.
the railroads from both directions
passing through numerous tunnels
which can easily be blocked.

According to official statements
by the Brlzilian government. the in-
surrectionists consist of a small gar-
rison of Federal troops. but humors
circulating here are to the effect
that the Sao Paulo police. militarily
organized and French trained.
Joined the movement.

“'ant to Scccde.

Among the explanation of the up-
rising given here is one to the effect
that it represents an effort by cer-

federatlon. declaring new indepen-
dence and inviting other states to
Join it in establishing a. new govern-
ment with the city of Sao Paulo as
the capital. ~

Dr. Carlos Ocampos. who was in-
augurated governor of Sao Paulo
State two months ago. is reported to
be politically opposed to President
Bernardes. Official statements from 1
the Brazilian government. however.
represent the Sao Paulo State gov-
ernment as taking steps to suppress
the insurrection.

According to a. messa e re -
by the Brazilian' embassisr hershthg
