al of Ryan and Belmont, it was with
drawn by Bryan.
While the storm was at its height
there were many inquiries on the
floor as to what was meant by the
resolution, many believing it had
some bearing on the presidential no.
mination, but Bryan refused to state
except that the resolution spoke for
itself. The delegates for the most
part listened patiently to the nomi.
mating speeches, and at 6:43 the roll
call began. Immediately after the re.
suit was announced an the recess TAX
en- till o'clock carried, many leaders
began figuring upon the roll call and
the outcome OF the next ballot.
The chief speculation during the
early hours today was centered on the
length of the convention and its abil'
ity to avert a deadlock in the session
beginning at 4 o'clock this afternoon,
and after that, of course, who will be
the nominee. 1t was expected num-
Der of caucuses will be held, but these
could not we'll begin until afternoon,
as most of the leaders are i'm bed at
ter the all-night struggle.
Chairman Ollie James reiterated the
view there would be no deadlo ok and
that the standard bearer would be
chosen without another all night SEES
sion. The chairman is little the worse
for wear, after his arduous duties. His
voice is holding out we'll and his
sturdy physique is serving him we'll
in his efforts to keep the convention
moving steadily forward. He felt from
now on that the convention would
keep steadily at business, with pros
poets of a succession of ballots until
the decision was reached. Following
that will come the still open question
Of vice president. 1t was not expect
ed the platform would be reached I'M
til late this evening and possibly not
until tomorrow, although the draft will
be ready for presentation before that
time.
The ballot of the early morning was
taken as the starting point for all
speculation as to who would be the
candidate All eyes are conferred on
New York, Illinois and Indiana, with
their large aggregation of votes.
The feeling is general that though
it would be solidly democratic in No
vember, and efforts are being now
bent to add the strength of the pivotal
northern states.
New York has an element Of about
one.third strength of it's strength fav'
orable to Wilson, but predominatlng
element of about sixty votes for any
body who has a reasonable assurance
OF carrying New York. At the eau
Gus yesterday they agreed on a COM
plimentary vote for Harmon. This
will probably be followed by a com
plim entary vote for Gaynor, and they
probably will continue this compli
hentary vote until they see the most
clear way to make the large vote OF
the Empire state the most effective.
Bryan as an ultimate candidate is
but little discussed, although some
continue to regard him as a POSSIBLE
ity. The South prefers Wilson to
Bryan while New York, the other
strong element, prefers Bryan to Will
son.
With the candidates for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination on the
home stretch, political trainers are
grooming the field Of entries for the
vice.presidential race. There is at
present no favorite. Among the con-
spicuous possibilities today are Gov
ernor Burke, of North Dakota, who
was in the presidential contest until
last night when he withdrew his
name by telegraph to the convention.
Other possibilities are Representa-
tive VIM. sulzer, of New York; May
Of Newton Baker of Cleveland: Sen
ator C'Gorman of New York; Repre-
sentative VIM. Belfield of New York;
Mayor James Preston of Baltimore;
Representative Robert Henry OF Tex
