physical condition for ten days 01

abrogation of the rule might lead to
: breaks in other delegations and this
left the Presidential nomination race
last night in greater doubt than ever.
New York's solid block of 90 votes
was cast in favor of continuing the
1 unit rule, amid hisses and groans,
: Missouri, the home State of Champ
Clark, split 29 to 7 in favor of the
unit rule and this result also was re!
ceived with groans.
When Nebraska and Kansas voted
solidly for the abrogation of the
1 unit rule, there were cheers from
the Wilson forces. Pennsylvahia, a
Wilson State, gave a big majority
for abrogation.
There had been reports during
the day of a growing sentiment in
! the New York delegation in favor of
; Governor Wilson. The delegation
1 voted under the unit rule last night
in casting its ballot against the
! proposition fostered by the New
Jersy Governor's supporters.
The fight over the unit rule carried
the night session well along
j toward midnight. As there was a
j minority report, requiring discussion,
an adjournment was decided
until noon today.
