Baltimore. June -. When the
third day OF the Democratic National
Convention opened it was believed
that the party's standard bearer IN
the presidential contest would be
known before tomorrow.
The political wiseacres predicted
that many ballots would be taken eX
tending the session well into the
rlght
The Wilson forces entered the
fight with added confidence. Import
ance is attached to the report that
w. j. Bryan might throw his chips
in Wilson's basket
The report of the credentials com
mittee was the pending business.
With Senator-elect Ollie James of
Kentucky inducted in as permanent
chairman and the roll completed, the
nominations would come next with a
tremendous flow of eloquence on the
nominating speeches expected.
BRYAN TALK STRONG.
The supporters of Woodrow viii
son, heartened by the so-called "Wil-
son-Bryan" victory last night are
claiming that Wilson would sweep the
convention and secure the nomina-
ton. There was renewed talk of
Rryan as the nominee the so-called
conservatives saying that so long as
the naming of a progressive seemed
inevitable. 1t might as we'll be Bry-
an.
Bryan,s friends said he will be
content with his present advantage

ing all but conceded to him.
The supporters of Clark are stlll
confident of the nomination of the
speaker.

When questioned point5blank as to
whether his support was with Will
son, Mr.. Bryan said:
Guess
The attitude of the New York
delegation bothers Bryan. If it
breaks for Wilson, Bryan does not
want Wilson and vice versa.
WILSON MEN CLAIM GAINS.

candidate had made distinct gains
They asserted, without giving de-
tails, that some of the Clark sentl-
ment was turning toward the New
Jersey governor and were in
more hopeful mood than at any
