American Democratic Convention

Still No Nominee for Presidency New York, July 3.

The chief feature of to-day's balloting was the switching of three States from Mr, MeAdoo's banner.

Two of them, Mississippi and scun, went. solidly in favour of Senator Ralston, who, though still far behind the leaders, is beginning to be regarded in some quarters as the long-south "dark horse." Altogether 12 ballots were taken before the supper adjournment, the last of which gave Mr. McAdoo 427, Governor Smith 320, Senator Ralston 92 and Mr. Davis 68.—Reuter's American Service.

61 Ballots: Both Sides as Obdurate as Ever.
