XE'W YORK, July 10.-—’1‘hcrc was
at least one unhappy man last night
in the Connecticut delegation in the
Democratic National Convention.
Homer S. Cummings of .Stamfof‘d.
National Sommlttce member from
Connecticut, had harbored right up
to the 102d ballot the hope that 12::
might be nominated for president as
:1. result of the prolonged ballot dead-
IOck.
He smiled as the states stampeded
to John “1'. Davis on the next ballot
as the Moses come to lead the weary
delegates out of the wilderness. how-
ever, it was not the smile of a. happy
man. but rather the smile of one
who would hide his disappontment.
one who realized that hopeful dark
horses long in she grooming must
affect the right kind of facial ex-
pression then, if ever particularly
when seated in the front row on 111:
platform.
To Connecticut delegates wlmm hr.-
had told last week not to waste any
more votes on Davis. because Ills
nomination was impossible. Cur...
mings signalled, after Davis had
passed the two-thirds majority. '10
change the state's vote on that bill-
101 from clcvrn for Underwood and
three for Senator Thomas J; “‘zllsh
of Montana. to fourteen for Davis. 111
other word: to dumber aboard the
band wagon. Stale after State was
doing the same thing and It was some
time before Delegate Edward G. De-
lan of Manchester succeeded in be-
Ing recognized to have Connecticut
so recorded.
It was done without the assent‘of
all the‘Conncetleut delegates. Only
a. few minutes before, when Secre-
tary A. S Lynch asked the delegates
If they didn't "want to vote for a.
winner once." Mrs. Martin L. Caine
of Naugatuck shook her head nega—
tively. Controller Peter Fttzhenry
and Bit-Mayor \‘Villinm E. Thomas of
Waterbury were silent. All three
had stuck to Governor Smith of
New York for 100 ballots and then
reluctantly left him to so to Under-
wood, because he was the Smith
people's second choice. Mrs. Fannie
Dixon “'clsh of Columbia. was su-
premely happy. Far back on the
sixty_seventh ballot Fourth of July
night she had cast the first. vole
which Davis had received from Con-
necticut.

At Davis" «VictOry
demonstration had its prelude in an
old fashioned political parade with
the In her: carwing Davis ban-
ners a (1 fire torches. In it were
civic organizations, patriotic societ-
ies. men. women and children, all
Davis boosters. On the steps of the
courthouse ‘where Davis pleaded his

of Commerce stood before a crowd
that. jammed the street from curb
to curb and declared that Clarksburg
rejoiced in the honor tint had come
to her distinguished fellow-town-
mnn. Other speakers reviewed Mr.
Davis‘ career and one was cheered
to the echo when he acclaimed Mr.
Davis asthe next president of the
United States.

into themlght. Bonfires were lighted
on neighboring hillsides and the
fireworks display rivaled that of the
recent Fourth of July celebration.
Boom Four [cue Old.
The town was in the gala attire
today. All buildings in the down-
town section were decorated with
flags and bunting afi well as many
houses in the residential section.
Among them was the Davis home-
stead Where the stars and stripes
appeared shortly after news of the
Davis nomination was received.‘
The boom for Davis as president-
ial had its inception at‘ the San
Francisco convention'four years ago.
There the’ “fest Virginia. delegation
boomed their favorite son without
success'and returned to the hills of
W’est'Vir-ginia resolved to keep the
movement alive. Everywhere they
went they ttiked Davis. In hotels,
on rain-owl trains and in public and
prlxate places their 00- workers bent
every energy to build up sentiment
Long before the pro-convention
campaign .of21924 got under way,
the Davis movement was at its
height and .whcn the convention as-
sembledatherc were few delegates
*ho were not informed of the qua-
lities of the West Virginia. candidate.
