Three More Ballots Fail to Relieve Deadlock Which Veto on Tobacco Will Make More Springfield, Ills., May 31 At a late hour tonight there la no substantial prospect that the gubernatorial deadlock will end tomorrow. It la reported that Lowden will make another attempt tomorrow to break into the Yates forces. It la mid that he expects to get 100 votes from Yates, SO from Hamlin, 50 from Sherman, and enough scattering voiea to awcll hie to-tal to CU0, hoping that this will be sufficient to looNeu up Deneen delegates in Cook county to nominate Lowden. The Yates managers admit that at some stage of the bollotlng, Kane. Will and De Kalb counties may go to Lowden as the did when a stampede waa attempted two weeks ago; but this would mean only 62 votes, and ihat ia near the limit of the number tbe Yates people will concede as likely to go to Lowden from their camp. There seem small probabilities that either Hamlin or Hlterman will now abift their votes until It appears reasonably curtain that, by no doing they will be able to break the deadlock. All of the conJidatea held their forces together today and It appears mow that tomorrow ballots will show no materia change. So far aa known there are no conferences in progress of an important nature. Springfield. HI... Alay 31.

Cannon opened tbe proceedings by having read the rule of the house of representatives which, among other things, prohibits smoking "upon tbe floor of the house. Gentlemen. aaid Mr. Cannon, we The have that among other rules. chair cannot enforce that rate without of the delegates and the the chair desires to know wbat the wi.t of the convention is." Then he put to a vots the question rule, of enforcing the no smoking literally everywhere In the hall. Tho affirmative vote was practically unanimous and tbe chairman then gave peremptory Instructions to the assistant scargenta-at-armthe police to see that all smoking in the hall waa prevented, delegates who do not cease when required to lie reported to the chair for the action of the convention, and persons not delegates who perslutently violate the rule to be ejected from the s. hiJll. How about the chewing? Inquired a delegate, amid laughter. Chairman Cannon, who, while refraining fiom smoking, has been chewing tobacco pretty freely during the monotonous deadlock, snswered gravely: The resolution is silent on chewing. (Laughter.)
