SUPPORT FOR SENATOR BORAH,

NEW YORK, Uth June.

A Cleveland telegram says the convention adjourned after day and night sessions in order to give the leaders an adequate opportunity to cogitate. regarding the choice of a Vice-Presidential candidate in the privacy of their hotel rooms.

To-morrow will be devoted to acclaiming Mr. Coolidge as the Presiden-tial-nominee, but the Vice-Presidential nominee should be designated at latest by Friday in order to permit the L delegates to return home for the week-end. A little group headed by the President's campaign manager, Mr. Butler, the Secretary ,of War, Mr. Weeks, and Dr. Butler, president of Columbia University, has been quietly discussing the possibilities of the various aspirants. Feeling appears to fluctuate hourly, but Mr. Hoover's name persists, and to it have been aded the names of General Harbord, ex-Deputy Chief of Staff of the United States Army, and Senator Curtis, Republican Whip in the Senate. (REUTBR'S TBLKORAMJ ' NEW YORK, 11th June. A Cleveland message says that Senator Borah, of Idaho,. has been agreed upon by the administration leaders for VicePresidential nomination. Word came from Washington that he would be satisfactory to Mr. Coolidge. So great was the influence behind Senator Borah at the conference of State delegates that most of the party leaders were inclined to regard his selection as virtually assured.
