SUPPORTERS Of CHAMP
CLARK ARE DISAPPOINTED
Have Been Claiming a Hundred
or More Votes Than
We're Given Him.

Baltimore. June 29.-Few OF the
Democratic leaders here expect al
early break In the deadlock In which
the convention found itself after TAX
ing its first ballot to elect the presi
Dental candidate. That Woodrow
Wilson will have more votes on the
second ballot than on the first is about
the only thing anybody seems to bt
sure OF. Speaker Clark is In danger
of losing some of his strength. Il
Wilson gains it will be at the speak
sr's expense aud it would be difficult
for Clark to make up the loss.
That New York will swing Its nine
ty votes for Harmon is simply signifi
cant of the fact that Murphy does not
think the time has yet arrived tc
show his real hand. He is friendly tc
Harmon. but does not expect to see
him nominated. There was surprise
when ii became known that New
York would not vote for either Gay
nor or Dix.
To have done so on the first ballot
would have put Gsynor out of the
running as a possible compromise can
didate. He Is held In reserve by Muir
ply. II the convention eventually ar
rives at q compromise point ii will be
almost certain TO take some man who
is not in the scramble and discard al
the others. Gaynor's only hope of q
nomination lies just here.
Clark Men Disappointed.
Clark men are disappointed with
the speakers showing In the first bal
lot. All along they had been claim
ing a hundred or more votes more
than they got and they believed that
they would get them. too. Clark's 440
votes make him look less formidable
than he did before the ballot was
taken.
He is long way from nomination
There is grave doubt that the anti.
Bryan leaders could put him through
now If they really tried.
On the other hand Wilson's 325
votes are pleasing to his hackers and
put the New Jersey governor very
close TO the position where his friends
want to get him. About forty more
votes will enable Wilson to deadlock
the convention. providing he can hold
his strength.
This small addition would give him
more than a third of the delegates.
and is all he needs TO stop Clark or
anybody else. Then, IL he reaches
that point. the Wilson men propose
to sit tight and make the rest of the
convention come to them. II they can.
Wilson's block of delegates. though
over a hundred smaller than Clark's,
is OF different type.
There are many Clark delegates
who are such in name only, and are
ready to break with him at the first
opportunity, while Wilson's following
is sincerely for its candidate and will
use every effort to bring about his
nomination IL it can possibly do 1t.
Some New Workers believe the final
winner may prove to be William j.
Bryan himself, and they make the MS
eertion that he would be less offensive
to- the conservatives than Wilson.
BhSal's Influence In the convention
Ct accurately be measured.

HANDS ROAST
To ROOSEVELT
La Toilette Says CO|one|'s Third
Term Ambition Has Split
the ProgTessiyss.
SPONTANEOUS CALL
CAREFULLY PLANNED"
Asserts Enormous Campaign
Fund Was USED TO Boost
His Candidacy.

Washington, June Ex-senator La
Toilette has written the following edi-
torisl in the current number OF his
weekly:
Until Theodore Roosevelt came In
to the open as candidate for the
presidency FIVE months ago there was
a strong and rapidly growing progress
sivs movement within the Republican
party. II was based upon clearly de
fined principles. Ii stood forth as the
representative of modern political
thought and fundamental democracy.
IL assumed national proportions. II
was united.
Into this movement, when il gave
promise of national success, Roose-
Welt projected his ambition to be presi-
dent third time. He spent weeks
carefully planning spontaneous call
for himself. He responded by an
nouncing that he would be a receptive
candidate. His candidacy began to
drag. He and his friends were In
despair in North Dakota He became
desperate.
Great Campaign Fund Raised.
"An enormous campaign fund was
raised" the editorial proceeds. "in
various cities and newspaper writer's
engaged at large salaries to boom his
candidacy. special trains hired and the
receptive candidate started In fran.
tic pursuit of the nomination"
The net result OF the Roosevelt
campaign. La Toilette SAYS, is that the
progressives have been divided
But" the editorial proceeds, the
progressive movement does not con-
sist OF few self-constituted leaders.
II consists of millions of thoughtful
citizens bound together by a common
belief in certain principles. They will
permit no combination of special in
terests and political expediency to Sc
cure control of the progressive cause,
which is ultimately to redeem dem
ocracy and restore government to the
people"

SPECIAL TERM OF COURT. !.
To Be Held for Men Accused of Receiv-
ing Stolen Goods.

Burlington, Dec l7.--One OF the big
gest surprises in court circles in Burlng
ton in some time came Yesterday when
the cases against the nine merchants
OF this city charged with receiving stol-
en- goods were suddenly shifted from
city court to special term of Chitten-
den county court called by Jddge Will
liam II. Taylor for the express purpose
of bringing the accused men TO trial
as speedily as possible. informations
were filed against the men in county
court, and the entire afternoon yester-
day was taken up in the effort on the
part of the respondents TO secure new
bail. This was accomplished by six
O'Clock and by that time the nine men
bad succeeded in getting bail to the to-
tai amount Of $l3,9o0. after the bail
in each case had been nearly doubled
by Assistant Judges Lincoln Merrihew
and Fred w. Hall.
At the close of the hail-fest, court
took recess until "Wednesday after
noon. The special term Of court will
be adjourned from day 10 day until a
presiding Judge can be secured, Ii is
expected that this will be about Janus
airy 6, when the first Of the cases win
be taken up. Prospects now are for a
lengthy special term, which may last
all winter.

Members of Rockport Granite Co. Declare
II Is Only the Usual Procedure at
This Time of Year and Men
Will Be Taken Back.

Gloucester. Mass, Dec. l7.--About l2(

to be followed by the layof of another
nstallment. -
The men thus put out OF employment
temporarily include quarrymen, black
smiths, engineers and paving cutters.
Some of men state that a three months
notice has been served on the company
by the quarry workers union that an
advance of wages is desired, to take
effect March /. 1913, the advance to be
three cents Per hour, from 25 cents at
present to 2S cents.
An agreement on wages was made five
years ago, containing clause that after
two years and due notice being given
an advance would be granted ii trade
conditions warrant such action. Com
mittees representing both sides will
probably hold conferences and adjust the
differences before March /.
The officials of the company state
that there is no special significance in
the layoff of the men, it being the usual
winter curtailment OF the working force.
The layoff, they say, is in no way due
to any prospective labor troubles but
when work starts up again in the spring
the men will be again put at work.

BETTY BEST A BRIDE.
She Says So But the Yale Student
Isn't So Forward.

Boston, Dec. l7.--College circles in
New Haven, stage circles in Boston and
insurance circles in Hartford, were
thrown into excitement yesterday when
Betty Best, member OF the chorus IN
a Boston production, declared with
bushes that shonc through her rouge
that she had elopcd via the midnight
train Saturday night, and had been mar
ried to james Moore, Yale 'l3, son OF
a wealthy Hartford man, James b.
Moore. Young Moore admits he was
once friend of Mrs. Mary Barnes of
the de Mumm shooting fame in Paris.
Mr.. Moore, in his senior year at the
Sheffield Scientific school, first stoutly
denied the wedding from his club, "The
Cloister." He pointed to the fact that
he had not. as she had alleged, taken
the midnight" from Boston. He de-
clared that the name of the minister
she had gwen as the one performing
the ceremony was not that OF the Uni
versalist clergyman in New Haven who
was supposed to have tied the knot.
Miss Best Mrs. Best she admits she
should be called. since she has been
divorced, she says, from Leo Roslin
Best of the Hotel Ansona, New York
insists explicitly that the marriage is
an absolute fact.
She declares that Mr.. Moore, her
present husband, as she maintains. at
one time time fell under the spell of
Mrs. Barnes, even attempted to elope
with her from the Waldorf to New Jer-
sey one night, was foled by the house
letective--and then capitulated to her.

fused to sign the protocol this morning
pointing out that it made no practical
difference as the allies were united and
the decision rendered by the Balkan
league would bind Greece equally with
the other members of the federation.
In discussing the subject OF foreign

States as mediator would be an excel

Tilted States from the scene and the |
ack of knowledge OF the different com

lie might hamper its action. while the
