DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
IS ML DEADLOCKED
At End of Thirty-Seventh Ballot McAdoo Still
Leads in Three-Cornered Fight Conference To
Be Held To Determine A Course of Action.
When The Chronicle went to
press last night, no nomination
had been made by the Democra
tic convention in session in New
York thoogh thirty-seven ballots
had been taken. McAdoo regain
ed some votes daring the day but
not enough to break the three-
cornered deadlock. The leading
candidates on the 37th ballot
stood: McAdoo 441, Smith 321,
Davis 107.
Madison Square Garden, New York,
July 2.—At the end of the thirty-
seventy ballot today the break in the
deadlock at the Democratic National
firm to more than a third of the total
of votes, with the Smith forces yet to
reach that veto point. Smith work
ers, like those for McAdoo, kept busy
yesterday on the convention floor,
but gathered votes slowly. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, the New Yorker’s man
ager, however, said “everything is
proceeding according to Hoyle,” and
his colleagues insisted they had much
strength in reserve.
Thomas Taggart, piloting the Rals
ton combination, displayed more acti
vity than ever yesterday, but continu

BULTMAN-PHTS
WEDDING
A very pretty home wedding was
solemnized on Thursday evening at
the residence of the bride’s mother,
Mrs. B. E. Bultman, when her young
est daughter. Miss Helena Ard Bult
man, became the bride of Mr. Ray
mond Jennings Pitts, of Clinton, S. C.
The ceremony was a very quiet one,
with only members of the families
of the two contracting parties pres
ent.
The ceremony room was tastefully
decorated in white and green ferns,
daisies and gladioli being profusely
used to produce the desired decora
tive effect. Ferns were banked In
one side of the room, forming an im
provised altar in front of which the
martial vows were plighted.
The bride was attended by her four
small cousins, the bridal party enter
ing to the strains of Mendelssohn’s
Wedding March, played by Mrs. H. D.

vided among 13 candidates a record people were holding it for the West
field for this stage of a national con
vention race.
McAdoo and Smith were, as before,
in the lead, with John W. Davis well
up in third place, out of the dark
horse division, and Senator Ralston,
of Indiana, although sixth in the vot
ing on the 30th ballot, a much dis
cussed contender. James M. Cox of
Ohiq, retained fourth place and Sena
tor Underwood of Alabama held the
fifth.
The managers of all the leading
contenders continued to express confi
dence after the 30th ballot and kept
on working in the early hours. What
happened at their little conferences
remained to be seen in today's events.
Of the leaders, McAdoo was the only
one to show a declining tendency
through the fifteen ballots yesterday,
while Davis displayed the greatest ac-
cretion of strength. The*
workers, however, predicted victory
today, and David L. Rockwell, mana-
ger of the Californian’s campaign in
sisted “our lines are holding and we
have assurance from our delegations
that they will stick to the finish.”’ f
McAdoo, who received 431 votes on'
the first ballot and climbed to 479
on the 15th, dropped below his start
ing point last night on the 26th, when
his count declined to 415 1-2, and end
ed the night with the same total.
Smith, meanwhile maintained his
advancing netting 18 votes on the

flopping back in the McAdoo column
and they hoped it would pave the way
for Missouri to do the same thing
later. In Illinois, there were some
changes, Davis of West Virginia gain

2. 4 went along without much
change until Massachusetts, when
the half vote which had been given
Gaston, went back to Smith.
There was little chanjge otherwise
until Mississippi, as predicted, flop
ped back into the McAdoo column wtih
her 20. The combined efforts of Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, Senator Pat
Harrison and the McAdoo floor man
agers had succeeded in winning over
Me Vdoo ^6 one-seventh of a vote. It was
the first tangible encouragement
the McAdoo people today.

36th Ballot
On the 36th ballot the roll call was
unchanged from the 35th except in
Little Misses Louise Bultman, of
Florence, and Jean Bruner, of Sumter,
dressed in pink organdie and carry
ing baskets of daisies, were the
bride’s dainty maids. Master Harold
Bell, wearing a suit of white, carried
the ring in the heart of a gladioli and
little Miss Pauline Proctor, of Flor
ence, in green organdie, carried a bas
ket of rose petals which she scattered
in the path of the bride.
The bride entered with her broth
er, Mr. Henry Bultman. She wore an
exquisite dress of georgette and lace
and her bride’s veil was held in place
with a circlet of orange blossoms.
She carried a shower bouquet of
bride’s roses and a prayer book,
which, open at the marriage cere
mony, she handed to the officiating
clergyman. The groom, attended by
his brother, Mr. James Pitts, entered
from another door and met the bride
as she entered, and standing in front
of the improvised altar, the two were
united in holy wedlock by the Rev.
J^Bentham Walker, of the Episcopal
church, pastor of the bride.
Following the ceremony refresh
ments were served in the dining room,
which was decorated with daisies and
ferns, and punch was served in the
side porch, which was decorated with
yellow daisies.
Afterwards Mr. and Mrs. Pitts left
on their bridal trip to parts unknown
to their friends, going by motor. On
their return they will make .their
home at Clinton, where Mr. Pitts is
a successful young business man.
Mrs. Pitts is the youngest daughter
of Mrs. B. E. Bultman. She is a grad
uate of Winthrop College, /nd has
been engaged in teaching since her
graduation. The many friends of the
young couple were shown by the num
ber and beauty of the presents receiv
ed.
Guests attending the wedding from
out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. L. W.
, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bultman,
Mr. and Mrs. John Bultman, Mr. and

Thursday afternoon, or three days
later, the same area was visited by
