BULLETIN.
BALTIMORE, MJ.,. June 28. It was re
ported this afternoon that a plan was on
foot In event a favorable opportunity of
fered Itself tn serine "a "Kern-Under-
wood" ticket This plan seems to be
contingent upon a deadlock, however, and
.Senator Kern himself was absolutely 'si
lent on the subject beyond saying that
he was not a candidate.
"I came here to vote for and support
Governor Marshall," he said, "and that
is what I am going to do to the end so
long, indeed, as he is before the conven
tion."
BALTIMORE, June 28.-The ballot of
the early morning was taken today as

All eyes were centered on New York,
Illinois and Indiana. The feeling was
general that the nominee of the conven
tion Is assured of , a practically solid
south next NovemDei- and all energies
were being bent to this conceded
southern strength the additional strength
of the pivotal northern - states, notably
New York, Illinois and Indiana, which
would combine enough electoral votes
from the north and south to secure a
victory. . 4- f
Messrs. Murphy, Sullivan and Taggart
the three leaders of these northern
states, have been in constant consulta
tion and have been working In harmuny
as .the linear have .been forme VThs-
will go over the situation before the b.-
Joting is resumed this afternoon.
The New York .delegation, has an ele
ment "of about one-third of Its strength
favorable to Wilson. But the predominat
ing element of about sixty votes is for
anyone who has reasonable assurance of
carrying New York.
Thus far, the New York delegation has
reached this stage: At the caucuses
yesterday the delegates agreed on a com
plimentary vote for Harmon. They may
follow this with, a complimentary-' vote
for Gayndr and they probably will con
tinue these complimentary votes until
they can see more definitely their way
to make the large vote of the empire
ytate most effective. .

' James Expects Quick Action.
Chairman Ollie James reiterated ' his
view that there would be no deadlock
when the convention opens at 4 o'clock
this afternoon, and that the standard
bearer would be chosen without another
all night session. The chairman was
little the worse for wear after his arduous

the convention moving steadily forward
amid the storms of popular demonstra
tion. He felt, however, that most of the
pent up energy of the shouters had found
expression, and from now on the conven
tion would keep steadily at business, with
the prospect of a succession, of ballots
until a decision was reached.
It was not expected that the platform
would be reached until late this evening,
knd possibly not until tomorrow, although
the draft will be ready for presentation
Well before that time.
There are a number of conflicting In
fluences operating on the convention. One
Is the desire to nominate a candidate
whose appeal to the people will be suffi
ciently strong. The other Is to name a
nan who can make an appeal to the south
ind to New York, which are regarded as
the two sections most conservative in
their tendencies. While Murphy, Sullivan

speculation going on early in tne oar,

Thaw Inclined to
Be Testy When He
is On as a Witness
WHITE PLAINS N. Y., June 28
Harry K. Thaw was recalled to the stand
for a further examination by William T.
Jermome, who appears for the state in
Thaw's suit to h pronounced sane.
Shearn, who had said previously that he
would cross-examine his client. Thaw,
said that he would not do so. , .
Judge Keogh explained that his con
ference with counsel yesterday arose
over a remembrance of his that- he had
given an opinion to Russell Peabody
some years ago In a matter remotely
connected with the Thaw case and for
that reason would not go on without at
least making a statement.
Thaw was Inclined to be testy in his
answers to ' Jerome's questions, UBing
the expressions "'Hummel tactics,"
"blackmailing stories" and "your cow
ardly Insinuations."
"You put me on as your witness and
you got stung," he told Jerome.
' "How did I get stung?" Jerome asked.
"The record will show."
' Thaw emphatically denied irrational
stories attributed to him. When his ex
amination waa over Shearn called Jerome
to the stand.
"What is your official connection with
this case?" Shearn asked. ' y
"Special deputy attorney general," was
the . reply. Jerome was then questioned
about certain papers alleged to be in his
possession. Ha said he did not have them
and instructed Shearn to search his of
fice. Shean accepted the Invitation and
dismissed the witness. ' .

With Col. Roosevelt
About New Party
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., .June 2S.-WI1-11am
H. Hotchkiss, state superintendent
of insurance under Governor Hughes, Is
expected at Sagamore Hill soon to con
sult with Colonel Roosevelt about the
organization of the new party movement
in New York state. During the repub
lican national convention Mr. Hotchkiss
was in Chicago sounding the sentiment of
delegates in regard to the lamination of
Justice Hughes as a compromise candi
date. Colonel Roosevelt said that the Balti
more situation was shaping Itself In a
way he believed would be of advantage
to the new party. He expressed the
opinion that the course of events In
Baltimore had demonstrated the strong
influence of the men. whom Mr. Bryan
designated as the representatives of Wall
street .
"If Governor Wilson or some other
progressive Is nominated now," said the
colonel, "the effect will be . largely lost
after this lopg wait. If fhey had' got
solidly together, at the beginning behind
Wilson r;me otherman it might have
helped them. But it is plain that they
are now. divided." ; '
Colonel. Roosevelt. read a magazine ar
ticle by Senator La Follette. criticising
h!m severely, but declined to take up the
issue. ."There isn't anything that I can
say about .Mr.. La Follette just now," he
said. "

preme court 'today denied a rehearing in
the case involving the legality of the re
siduary bequest of Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy to the First Church of Christ, Sci

the residue of the Eddy estate, valued
at about $2,000,000. divided between Glover
and Mrs. Eddy's adopted son, Dr. Ebe-
nezer J. Foster Eddy of Waterbury, Vt
This was referred to the supreme court
for determination of the legal points in
volved. The supreme court recently ruled that
the residuary bequest was legal and did
not conflict with statutes quoted by the
plaintiffs attorneys limiting the size of
bequests to churches. Counsel for Glover
then asked for a rehearing.

BALTIMORE. June S.-After sitting
all through the night the democratic na
tional convention reached the first bal
lot on the presidential nomination shortly
before 7 o'clock this morning. There was
no choice. In fact all of the candidates
were so far from the two-thirds vote
necessary to nominate that the dele
gates today looked forward to a long
hard fight
After the first ballot, the convention at
7:16 a. m. took a recess until 4 o'clock this
afternoon. In the meantime there will be
much studying of the figures on the test
vote and many conferences among the
leaders.
As was expected. Speaker Champ Clark
led all of the other candidates on , the
first ballot He received' 440 votes to
324 for Wood row Wilson, his nearest rival.
This, however, left the speaker 285 votes
short of the necessary two-thirds. Gov
ernor Judeon Harmon of Omio, aided by
New York's solid block of SO votes, was
third, with 148. Representative Oscar W.
Underwood of Alabama received 117
votes.
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska
got one vote from the Ohio delegation-
Some of his friends had expected that
he would receive more scattering votes,
but the fact that he did not show any
strength whatever In the first ballot did
not discourage them. They still felt that
In the event of a deadlock which early
today seemed more than probable Mr.
Bryan might be turned to again to lead
his party in the presidential race.

the first ballot were:

hut was about what the other candidates
had conceded.
The speaker's adherents were declaring
today that he would steadily gain as the
balloting in the convention, progressed,
and at the same time were busy with
their delegates to see that there were
ho defections. -

Balloting Fails
to Awaken Clark
WASHINGTON. June 28.-Spesker Clark
was not kept awake last night by the
balloting at Baltimore. He- remained up
only a little past his usual retiring hour,
and long before the delegates were cast
ing votes for him, he was at home fast
asleep and did not know that he had led
on the first ballot until this morning
when the newsboys were shouting "Ex
tras."
Mr. Clark remained in his office at the
capltol until a little after midnight, read
ing bulletins hot off the news wire, but
left for. home and went to bed shortly
after Senator Reed had placed him in
nomination.
Trust in Control of
the Watch Cases
CHICAGO, June 28. Investigation of
the Keystone Watch Case company's
dealings with catalogue houses was taken
up in tne federal Investigation of the
concern's alleged violation of the Sher
man anti-trust law today. A. C. Becken,
formerly a Chicago catalogue hpuse man,
testified the Keystone company had
warned him In 1904 that if he desired to
handle its goods at all he must , exclude
all other brands. From that time until
1911 ha sold nothing but Keystone goods.
Then he rebelled, he said, and prepared
a new catalogue, advertising several dif
ferent makes of watch cases..
"When the company learned this I
was told I could no longer handle Its
products," he said.
Julius Schnerring told of an alleged
purchase by T. M. Jurbrugg, formerly
president of the Keystone company, of
the Young stock of Illinois and Duber
Hampden watch movements for 58,000.
This was done, Schnerring said, to stifle
competition.

BALTIMORE, Juna 28. Gossip today as
to the vice presidency failed to crystal?

correctly analyzing the situation and con
tent to let It work Itself out tonight as

progressive democracy movement and
chairman of the house . committee on

Governor Marshall of Indiana, who still
is in the presidential race with the sup

much discussed as a vice presidential
possibility should he join the victims of
the elimination trials in the premier con
test now approaching its climax.
Might Be Underwood.
The name of Representative . Oscar W.
Underwood, majority leader of the house
and still in the race for the presidential
nomination, is also much talked of in

PEERLESS 0NTHE OUTLOOK
Says Convention Has Eliminated
Underwood and Harmon.
DEMOS HAVE GONE ON RECORD
Suggestion of a Bolt is Nettling; aad
'No Definite 'Answer is Given
to Question ' Regarding -'the
Blatter. '
BALTIMORE, Jun 28.-W. J. Bryan had
no Word to say today on the first presi
dential ballot at the democratic national
convention; After the adjournment of the
all night session the Nebraska hurried to
his hotel,, where he retired for a needed
rt. Hi Indicated that the delegate al
ready ha spoken, their. mind against Un
derwood and Harmon, but 'tvas noncom
mittal as to whether his choice wra Clark
or Wilson, although he added that he
had voted! for Claris'
Mr. Bryan believes that he has achieved
a great moral victory In securing the
passage of his Morgan-Ryan-Belmbnt
resolution, which was hurled Into the con
vention like a bombshell last night Over
the breakfast table Mr. Bryan' talked
freely of the resolution. Asked what the
effect would be he replied:
"You wait a week. There never has
been such an alignment of a political
party against an Interest. , Just see the
vote that was cast for the resolution."
"Is not the resolution nullified by the
elimination of the last clause demanding
the withdrawal of any delegates repre
senting the Morgan-Ryan-Belmont inter
ests?" -
"No," replied Mr. Bryan with emphasis.
"The last clause was merely putting into
effect the first clause. When before in
any convention have we had such men
named?"
Getting Them in Line.
"What do you think of Virginia's vte
in favor of this resolution? There were
twenty-three and one half votes for it
and one-half vote against It, and Thomas
F. Ryan was sitting In the delegation."
"This . resolution has made the dele
gates get Into line. Those who nomi
nated a reactionary after adopting, this
resolution would never dare go home If
thev lived west of the Allegheny moun
tains. The convention has gone on rec
ord." An inquiry whether he would support a
reactionary candidate seemed to nettle
Mr. Bryan and he gave no definite an
swer. "Mr. Bryan, it Is suggested among dele
gates that conditions might arise that
would cause you to bolt"
."I don't reply to every report that is
started - about me," answered the Ne
braskan. "I don't think any man hai
the right to ask me that question.
When this convention started, could you
tell what was going to happen? A man's
course of action must be determined as
circumstances arise."
Mr. Bryan's friends say the passage of
the "bombshell" resolution has shown
the country that ' this Is a progressive
convention and that a progressive must
be named.
