EARLIER TELEGRAMS:

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

New York, June 25.

The Democratic Convention at present appears to be at sixes' and sevens in regard to both platform and candidates. The resolu tions committee sat all night and listened to arguments for and against America's joining the League of Nations and in regard to prohibition, the Ku Klux Klan and other internal issues. Apparently no agreement was reached on any of these matters when the com mittee adjourned.

Judge Westcott Impassionedly addressed the committee, urging that the platform should favour joining the League, whereafter Judge Westcott fell fainting. Other speakers. urged a referendum on the question of joining the Lengye. Others favoured adhorenco not endanger the to the League under conditions that would sovereignty of the country.
