Washington. June 30.--The deadlock

Mr.. Bryan said he took 1t for grant
ed that there was no chance for the
nomination OF either Underwood or
Harmon. whom he designated as the
choice OF reactionary element in the
party. He suggested that II the con-

clafed their preference for me ~ their

declared that 7 was Il candidate at the

and. that. upon that understanding he
was elected "A delegate and instructed
