THG UfMMN6 UOR dp HlVOWfM CONVENTION, Who vevrefuxw NOriNfvrsD To MAKS HI OWN bSMONURfVTlON WILSON LEADS ON THIETIETH CALL OF ROLL (Continued from Page One.) would have difficulty in getting the necessary two-thlrds to nominate. Mr, Palmer has been active in the progressive camp and has voted through out, for Governor Wilson. Vlrat Notable Break. The twenty-eighth ballot on president brought the, first notable break, the thirty votes heretofore solid for Governor Mar shall being lost, twenty-nine for Wilson . and one for Kern. Wilson's total was thus swelled to 4371. Making him a close second to Clark, who still clung to his lead with 468. The democratic national convention re sumed balloting at 11 o'clock today with a vast throng In attendance, intense ex citement prevailing in the outcome of the unprecedented deadlock. The twenty-seventh ballot for president showed little change from the, last vote Saturday night. The Clark and Wilson forces remained intact, the changes being few. and not decisive. Another sensation was added during the ballot when John B. Stanchfield, speak ing for New York, denounced W. J Bryan as a "money-hunting, favor-seeking,' publicity-hunting marplot from Nn braska."; 1 ' r' - -' ' ' ' " New York's vote was polled, showing Clark "S," Wilson 9, Underwood 2 and ab sent 1, but the solid vote of ninety was cast under the unit rule for Clark. Hall Fill Early. Crowds began to besiege the entrances of the democratic convention hall by 9 o'clock and by 10 the galleries were half filled and a sprinkling of delegates had taken their place on the floor. A cool breeze through the. high tran soms kept the banners fluttering and promised relief from the exhausting heat of previous sessions. The prevailing sentiment from the floor before the call to order was that noth ing had thus far been accomplished to bring , the deadlock to a close, and that if anything, the lines were quite as tight, or tighter, than before, although all recognized that the convention had been replete with so many sensations that a break or a coup might come at any time. Among the early arrivals there was a disposition to view Mr. Bryan's move against New York as the adroit adoption of the tactics of the Whitney-Don Dick inson element aligning the" democratic national convention against Chief Crocker and the New York support of David B. Hill. At that time Tammany had its orator in the person of Bourke Cockran who ' held the convention throughout the night, until at daybreak the various elements from outside New - York state gradually forced the nomin ation of Cleveland. The contest then as now, wai against New York, although the issue of "the interests" had not been injected, and the combined outside elements had the ad vantage of Cleveland's prestige. Illinois Stands Br Clark. The Illinois delegation of fifty-eight, headed by Roger C. Sullivan, reached the hall late, having been in formal cau cus since 10 o'clock. Illinois stood unani mously and firmly, for Clark throughout the twenty-six ballots. -. . . ; Following the seventh ballot there had been continual rumors of a break in Illinois, and today this Was revived when the delegation "passed" when first called on the twenty-seventh., "We are prepared to stav until snow flies," said ex-Congressman Late. Pence, a champion of Clark, from the District of Columbia. "We may not have enough delegates to nominate now, but we Uave enough to prevent the nomination of any one else. Whatever happens we can hold more than 365 necessary to prevent a nomination and, - after the treatment awarded Mr. Clark in refusing him the honor after he had received tho majority, we will fight to the end." There was no band today, the contract having expired, and the band stand was occupied by a group of Baltimore lelles. A few minutes after U o'clock Cnalrman James called the convention to order and ' Rev. Carroll CoU of the First Motnodist church of Baltimore offered prayer. , Cheers for Bryan. A cheer swept the conventloa hall as William J. Bryan strode up the aisle and took his seat with the Nebraska delega tion. He was smiling and held a conver sation with several delegates. Chairman James quieted the crowd. Theodore Cell of California was then recognised. He made a motion that a committee be ap pointed to secure the validation of return trip railroad tickets held by delegates. ' The motion was accepted and the cum-n-iiteo appointed. T a twenty-seventh roll call was then begun.. On the first six states called Clark gained four -votes over the twenty-sixth ballot . Illinois asked to be passed on this bal lot and Marshall's thirty in Indiana re mained Intact. In Massachusetts Wilson gained five votes and the Wilson sup porters cheered. , . When Missouri was called the entire delegation arose and yelled defiantly: "Thirty-six votes for Clark." In Nebraska Clark gained a vote. Tote of ew York Polled. When New York was called a poll of the delegation, the first since to voting began, was demanded: Abram I. Elklns of the Eleventh New York district was the first New Yorker to vote for Wilson and a round of cheers greeted him. William J. McAdoo was the second. When the name of John B. Stanchfield was reached he took the platform to explain his vote. "I come from a state whose electoral vote is vital to democratic success," be gan Stanchfield. "We represent 10,000,000 people." Stanchfield then started to recite the history of New York. "Is there any limit on ths sar.ilaman'E time," demanded a Michigan delegate. . "New York has a right to be heard on the floor of this convention," replied Stanchfield. "The integrity of every delegate from New York has been in sulted." Mr. Stanchfield said the New York delegation included lawyers and business men of known .standing. "It is by common consent the most representative delegation that ever came to a national ocnventlon from New York. If these be the 'puppets of wax' that Mr. Bryan refers to, we say to that money-grabbing, office-seeking, publicity hunting marplot of Nebraska" "No man can go, forth from this con vention stigmatized and branded with the mark of Bryanlsm upon him and come wtthln 500,000 votes of success. Stanchfield could not conclude the sen tence. It was drowned in a burst of cheers. When" the speaker delivered this speech Mr. Bryan occasionally smiled. Bryan a Plutocrat. "When Mr. Bryan makes the state ment that these delegates from New York are under the Influence of Morgan and Ryan and ' Belmont, the 'plutocrats' of this convention, he omits one name. Outside of the three he has named, the rlchesf and. most powerful plutocrat on the floor is the gentleman from Ne braska himself. "If the New York delegation is to be prevented from participating, then any man who for pay has been writing from the floor of the republican convention in favor of Mr., Bryan's partner and ally, Theodore Roosevelt, ought also to be excluded. "Colonel Bryan never intended to sup port the candidate of this conventloa unless that candidate was Mr. Bryan himself," said. Stanchfield. "We have heard for months that Mr. Bryan had been combating Underwood here and Wilson there; Clark here and Harmon there; working all the time in his own selfish Interest to produce a deadlock in Baltimore." In conclusion Stanchfield threw the convention into disorder with the declara tion: I cast my vote ' for Woodrow Wilson.:. -- As the poll proceeded it became appar ent 'that Clark would again get New York's ninety votes under the unit rule. It was generally believed that the vote ha,d been challenged and ' the poll de manded for the sole purpose of enabling Stanchfield to deliver his attack on Bryan. ' . Of the four deiegates-at-large, " John A. Dlx, Alton B. , Parker and Charles F. Murphy voted for Clark. Senator' O'Gor man voted for Wilson. The district dele-, gates who voted for Wilson were, Arra ham I. Elkus, William G. McAdoo, New York city; John B., Stanchfield, Thomas Conway, Plattsburg; Thomas W. Meachem, Syracuse;' Benedict Brooks, Pearl Creek, and Walter H. Edson, Fal coner. William Temple Emmis and Joseph A. Kellog, Great Falls, voted for Under wood., .;- . l Under the unit rule New York's ninety votes went to Clark. Illinois, which had been passed in the - roll call, cast' its votes for Clark. ' ' The Illinois delegates filed Into their seats while the poll of the New York delegation was in progress. Their caucus ended in a determination to stand by Clark, for whom fifty-eight votes had been cast since the beginning of the bal loting. The result of the twenty-seventh bal lot was: Clark, 669; Wilson, 406; Un derwood, 112; Fobs, 38; Marshall, 30; Har mon. 38; Bryan, 1. Absent 1. This gave Clark a gain of 6; Wilson a loss of 1 and Underwood a loss of , as compared with the twenty-sixth ballot. At the close of the twenty-eighth bal lot, it was announced that arrangements had been made to xtend all railroad FoR.cep:uu spleen declao TH rVT MUTT T NOM(N SHOULD be VAl-THRAwNftS NVUTT - s n to tuyere &t paa-t , THR5tt,t'(CHt?LVJeMCtK6 "CHS 1.1. tickets, making them good until July 10. "Nineteen twelve or 1913," demanded a delegate, but there was no reply forth coming. .,......''.: ,i The twenty-ninth ballot was ordered called. , ; Indiana on. the twenty-ninth vote gave Kern 4; Wilson 26. Thus Wilson lost 3. A . dispute in , the Iowa delegation showed : that that state stood: Clark, 14; Wilson, 11. but under the unit rule the entire vote cf the state went to Clark. Wrangle Over Kansas. Another wrangle followed when Kan sas was called. The chairman of the dele gation asked that the state be passed. Half a dozen delegates yelled: "We want to vote now; two-thirds of this delega tion is for Wilson and we want the vote ;ast that way." The delegation was ordered polled. A chorus of yells and Jeers greeted the be ginning of the poll and the roll of the delegation proceeded in great disorder. - The vote was Wilson 16; Clark 6, ab sent 1. and the vote of Kansas, 20 In ill went over into the Wilson column. When James ruled that the vote should jo to Wilson, Theodore A. Bell took the floor sfter a disorderly dispute, to argue against casting the vote of Kansas for Wilson. Kansas'Gtves Wilson Twenty. The de;egates were impatient and Bell was frequently. Interrupted. He argued that the Kansas . delegation could not shift to Wilson until two-thirds of the delegation voted for Wilson. He asserted that thirteen was not two-thirds and con tended the twenty votes should go to Clark. . Bell had trouble getting a hearing and his argument was punctured by Jeers. "Sing it" shouted a delegate as he neared the conclusion. A. Mtchell Palmer, Pennsylvana, the Wilson leader, answered Bell. He said that with only nineteen delegates on the floor, thirteen constituted two-thirds of the delegation and their votes should control the state's votes. Ben Gaitzel, of the Wilson men In the Kansas delegation, asserted that fourteen of the delegates from that state had voted yesterday to desert Clark. Chairman James ruled that "two-thirds of the delegation" meant "two-thirds of the delegates present" and gave the twenty votes to Wilson. Marshal lis Eliminated. John B. Knox of Alabama, Introduced a resolution deploring the bitterness of the convention and calling for a united front in order to facilitate the work of the convention. . It was referred to the resolutions committee without reading. The twenty-seventh roll call went as far as Indiana before any material shift was made. Then the convention went wild as Senator Shively announced, "Kern, 1; Wilson, 29." When quiet was restored, a poll was demanded, but the demand was later withdrawn. The Indiana vote had gone solid for Marshall. After conferring with a number of friends Mr. Bryon said it was unlikely that he would reply to the speech of Mr. Stanchfield. It was reported that Sen ator Rayner of Maryland might seek op portunity to defend the "progressives."' The .New Mexico delegation demanded a poll after the' vote had. been reported "eight for Clark." The roll call showed Clark, 6; Wilson, 3, and under the unit rule the eight went to Clark. Oklahoma's delegation was polled, but the vote remained: Clark, 10; Wilson, 10 Pennsylvania added one to its usual voto of 71 for Wilson. The result of the twenty-eighth ballot was: Clark, 468; Wilson, 437; Under wood, 112; Harmon, 29; Foss, 38; Kern I; Bryan, 1; absent, . . v Marshall was eliminated, twenty-nine of . his thirty votes in Indiana going to Wilson, who gained thirty-one on the bal lot Clark lost 1. ' j Wilson In the Lead. The result of the twenty-ninth ballot showed changes in the vote of only three states. ' It was: Clark, 4S8; Wilson, 4S6; Underwood. 112; Foss, 38; Harmon, 29; Kern, 4. This gave Clark a loss of a vote, Wilson a loss of 1. Bryan lost - his single vots and Kern gained 3. The thirtieth ballot proceeded monoto nously until Ohio was reached. Then t-ni of Harmon's twenty-nine went to Under wood. Wilson's nineteen remained intact. Vermont gave up Foss on this ballo and Its eight votes went to Wilson. The result of the ballot put Wilson in tho lead. . The vote of Iowa, which had not been passed, gave Wilson 14, Clark 12. Up to that time the entire vote of twenty-six had gone to Clark. When the vote was announced a roll call of the delegates was demanded and again showed Clark 12, Wilson 14. Iowa's vote as announced gave Wilson 460 votes. It gave Clark 453. Cheers greeted "each Wilson vote as it 7 LITTL6 J&FP.VslHO TOOK KCePTrON TO HS SA10V-" I'M SuR.PR.is6l AT MR. TRY AN &KoK4NCe. AMBOOY KNOWS tHAY TMe "R NMPWCTN was announced during the roll call.

Under wood gained 9. , When the total vote of the thirtieth bal lot was announced, the Wilson followers, with their candidate for the first time in the lead, made a demonstration. The thirty-first ballot gave Wilson trifling gains early In the roll. Clark Start Trouble. The thirty-third ballot found the lead ers practically at a standstill. Wilson merely holding hlstotal of the thirty-second ballot, while In Virginia Clark gained one from Underwood. At the end of this ballot the Champ Clark people revived their drooping spirits by displaying a big banner on which the following tribute to Clark from W. J. Bryan in 1910 was printed in red: "I have known" Champ Clark eighteen rears. He is absolutely incorruptible and his life above reproach. Never in all. these years have I known him to be on but one side of the question, and that was the side that represented the people." There was a cheer as the Missourlans displayed the banner above the delega tion. It continued for several minutes, "Take it over to Nebraska and show It to Bryan," shouted some one. No sooner was this said that the Missourlans acted on the suggestion. Then came trouble. . ,. ' '. .'.' ." " ; Bryan arose and faced his tormentors for a moment. , Several policemen huri ried to his side and with ' them was an eRcort. The Nebraskan fairly fought his way to the stage. "Is the Missouri delegation responsible for sending that banner to the Nebraska delegation?" he asked. In the uproar which followed Bryan stood smiling in the center a a shrinking, excited mob of the Missouri delegates. Half a dozen policemen charged Into the crowd. "Anything against Bryan," shouted a Missouri delegate, shaking his fist at the smiling Nebraskan. From the aisle the policeman asked the Nebraskan up onto the platform. Half a dozen hand-to-hand fights followed as the Clark men tiled to carry "their, banner up on tho platform behind Bryan. A score of police men fought in vain to quiet the shriek ing, fighting mob. Chairman James hurried in and took the gavel from John E. Lamb of Indiana. After five minutes of effort James, aided by the police secured some semb lance of order. The convention was in a turmoil long after Mr. Bryan had taken his seat. There were several fisticuffs among dele gates and the big ofrce of policemen had their hands full quelling the outbreaks, but a new squad of police came in during the disturbance and when the balloting was renewed every aisle on the floor was lined with bluecoats. Chairman James directed the police to arrest anyone attempting to carry a banner of any sort into the armory. Mr. James finally announced the begin ning of the thirty-fourth ballot and Ala bama had cast its votes when Bryan, who had Btood for several moments with the stolldnes8 of an Indian, was recog nized. "Go on and vote,", called a dele gate. "Stop him; we want to go home we dont want a speech, .He's paid to stay here; we're not." Chairman James explained that Mr. Bryan had risen to, a question of per sonal privilege. Mr. Bryan then said: "I was seated in my delegation when a banner was placed In frontof us. I asked those in charge of it to remove it. They refused. I . went to the Missouri delegation and asked the chairman whether it had been sent there by the Missouri delegation. If that act was unauthorized by the persons in charge of that banner I have nothing to say. But if tha twas done by the orders of the Missouri delegation I claim the right to answer the question thus pro pounded." , , A howl Interrupted him. "The' chair regrets to rule that the gentleman from Nebraska has not stated a question of personal privilege." A cheer greeted this and Mr. Bryan bowed and left the stand. As he passed the Missouri delegation former Governor A. M. Dockery stopped him and dis claimed for the delegation any connec tion with the appearance of the banner. Mr. Bryan went back to his seat. When Maine was reached on the thirty fourth ballot Its vote of 12 was cast solid for Wilson. This toow two from Uunder wood and one from Clark. Thirty-fourth ballot: Clark, 447; Wil son,' 479; Underwood, 101; Harmon, 29; Kern, Foss; 28; absent, 1. This showed a gain of two for Wilson. Clark remained unchanged. Underwood lost two. At the end of the thirty-fourth ballot Roger C. Sullivan of Illinois moved that the convention take a recess until 8 p. m. tonight. The motion prevailed by accla mation and at 6:15 the convention ad journed.

(Cries of no, hisses and applause.) A voice: "Oh, sit down." Mr. Stanchfield: "My friends, I will sit down ln good time. When the New York delegation came to Baltimore to attend this convention, we were voting under the unit rule and a majority of the New York delegation registered their vote in favor of Governor Harmon of Ohio. We supported and maintained that nomination so long as It appeared to the majority advisable. "New York next cast Its vote In favor of the speaker of the house of represen tatives because he was the strongest candidate, before this convention (cries of 'no,' hisses and applauses) and the delegation today Is in favor of any and every man who can be the candidate and the nominee of this convention.
