A virtual embargo upon Hie ship- ment of coal to Europe or nny other put of the globo frcm North Atlantic porta of the United States went Into effect yesterday In order that New England's threatened Industries nnd utilities might receive priority In the matter of fuel shipments.

Similar priorities, it Is understood will be ordered Monday for New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, where transportation companies and other public utilities are. feciing tho pinch most keenly. Lack of cars rather than lack of coal is at the bottom of tho shortage. Under a rigid interpretation of tho order no ship In a port from Charleston north to the Canadian border could ob- tain even bunker coal to take her to Halifax or some other nearby port not In the United States, but It Is unlikely that tho order will be carried out so strtctl.

It became 'Vnoa.n t0.ni0ht. have trono from Wash,ngton t0 San FranciSC0( called for by the intimations that within tho last few days a movement has been on foot to make tho nomination first and then adopt tho platform. Such a course obviously would bo of disadvantage to Administration control of the conven- tion, politicians explained, since the delegates might attempt to build a riatform tosult'the candidates selected I ii.nn n onit thn amies which r n.in'nit nnr.imOUnt In .ui. tuiwii .vtt'-\- . cq .lection. ' The feeling prevails among those wll0 aro in ioucii w.wi aau x'cmvow that tho movement to make tho nomi- nations the first business of the con vention will not get very far. Such a course, they said. Is not at all and would be very much the same as making a Job to suit a man rather than finding a man to suit a Job. The developments of the last week have shown conclusively that the nom- ination Is the last thing Which Mr. Wilson wishes to talk about His whole Interest up to date, this assertion based on what those wh& are close to his confidence have said, Is with the plat- - .. r. tntiafv ....... ... hlm mtiHt be a IOrill. .j j complete endorsement of the League of Nations without essential reservations. So far as can be learned In Washington, Mr. Wilson has not at any time made nny definite commnt as to who or which of tho candidmcs would be ac- ceptable to him. Frankly muoh of the third term talk which has been going the rounds of late i. ,,,! larcrtalv unon this verv thlnir. There are some who believe that even If Mr. Wilson actually is not a candi- date for renomlnatlon he Is holding that possibility as a club over the head of the convention so that It will be more likely to do tils bidding with regard to the platform. To permit a nomination before the platform was adopts would be to throw away this club and let the convention do anything it might see fit to do. DUEL; 2 SHOTS; NO WOUNDS.

Uj a Stall (\ormpoiideHt o Tun St!N AND New Yobk Heiui.p. San Francisco, Juno 25. Spiritless, Initiative, blunted, divided at heart, leaderless, the mass of Democrats here to adopt a set of principles nnd to select a candldato present ft spectacle of Indecision and apprehon-sio- n that Is not comparable to any gathering within or- dinary recollection. Tho muss, which means three-fourt- of tho delegates and tho great majority of tho men who used to be In the leader business beforo Brutua began sniping off poppy-head- s with his walking stick, are fearsome, timor- ous creatures who start at shadows and crlngo at unexpected noises. They meet in groups, small or large; Indulge In noisy bursts of meaningless talk and fly apart in fright If some man known to bo of tho White Houso clique gets within earshot. They make bold plans over night and forget by morn- ing Just what it was they Intended to do. They aro a mob ready for a master1. They have no real heart for battle, They can't summon up nerve enougn to make a stand on nrythlng which really represents their own Instinctive sentiments. With most of them poli- tics, like the tariff, Is distinctly a local Issue. They aro parish statesmen, many of them candidates for petty ot- -' flees In their localities, and more con cerned about what the effect will be upon their own candidacies of plat- form pronouncements and of the na- tional candidates personally than what can bo accomplished for the party as a whole. Shadow Boxing Favorite Sport. In tho shadow boxing that Is goln3 on It looks as If tho Demo- cratic jarty cannot scare up nerve enough to go before the country on a wet issue, to face out Wilson on tha treaty and league issue, to advocate Independence for Ireland and to de- mand a profiteering plank with teeth in it. As regards candidates, there Is not a delegate or an alleged leader, un- less one excepts two or three men who may havo been Intrusted with tho big secret by tho invalid of tho Whits House, who knows as much about what Is really going on as the most recently arrived newspaper man. Unless somebody possibly Bryan, who arrived Injects nerve serum Into the convention the wet or dry Issue will bo passed by the other side, very far on the other side. Instead of taking a chance, of making a bold gamble for success, with a straight out declaration that Congress should amend the Vo- lstead act and glvt? to the States the right to say whether or not one-ha- lf of one per cent, of alcohol should bo the beverage limit there Is every probability that the convention will play \safe\ by avoiding the whole vexatious matter. The bravo talk that was heard last week is weakening fast Many of the known wets are beginning to say It would be \Impolitic\ or \Inex- pedient\ to adopt a wet or even a damp plank. This talk la heard In the Cox camp along with the subterfuge that it would not be necessary to take the risk of a wet plank If a known liberal like Cox were to be nominated. Tnggart of Indiana, earnestly running for Senator, counsels against a wet plank. Carter Glass says bluntly that a wet plank would be red ruin for the party. Uelcsatea Filled With Fear. Without the shadow of a doubt the majority of delegates are privately in favor iOf mitigating the severity of the Volstead act but they do not dare act up to their real sentiments. They run hither and yon begging for opinions, and the general burden ot their fear Is that If a popular vote could be taken the country would go prohibition. It would not do, therefore, to tie up the party, they say. A well known friend of Gov. Cox told nowspapcr men yesterday that tho Gov- ernor had advised him privately that ho was against a wet plank In the platform while being personally favorable to a modification of the drastic Volstead act Senator Hitchcock, another damp leader, Is too friendly to Cox to fight the Ohio Governor's Ideas, which leaves the out nnd out wet pasture to Gov. Edwards alone. There lie enn \ramp and rare\ to his heart's content That the New Jersey Governor will g down fighting for his objective If neces- sary is clearly Indicated In a statement given out yesterday from hUi headquar- ters, which saya. quoting Edwards's manager. Walter W. Vlck: \I believo thero must' be a straight out and out light wine and beer plank In the Democratic platform. The alterna- tive would be an amendment to tho Vol- stead act stating that the clause for- bidding more than one-ha- lf of 1 per ient. alcoholic content applies only to territories solely within tho Jurisdiction of Congress. This would leavo to the States themselves tho right to define the alcoholic content of beverages.\ Xh utemest adds that there nre
