Democratic Leaders Struggle to End Nomination Deadlock
NEW YORK July 5. A conference of Democratic candidates managers tried to end the deadlock in the national convention but failed to reach any conclusions. Debates centered on whether to pursue a nomination plan or simply end the deadlock, with McAdoo backers pressing for action and anti-McAdoo forces demanding withdrawal or persuasion towards a two-thirds majority. Senior figures like Robinson and Ralston were discussed for potential cross-support, while Davis supporters argued he was the second choice of many delegates. The session adjourned near midnight with further talks planned tomorrow, described as preliminary and orderly.

Rockwell argues McAdoo will not withdraw from nomination
William McAdoo will not withdraw from the presidential race, campaign manager David Ladd Rockwell announced after a convention meeting to seek a way to break the deadlock. He said it would be absurd to ask the top vote getter to leave, and emphasized the conference aims to set broad procedures rather than eliminate candidates.
