continued to lead, but the advocates
OF Mayor Gaynor, of New York, were
increasing in number today. 1t was

With both sides busy counting noses

Parker go by default. They felt that
they were o~utnumbered on the com
trate their energy in a big fight against
the New York judge, to be waged from
the start of the convention.
Roger Sullivan, national committee
man from Illinois, declared that the
Parker forces had thirty-one out of
tifty-three votes in the committee and
probably more if necessary. That the
Bryan forces are already mapping out
their plan for a floor battle was indi-

presented at all. There is nothing to
the report that all the progressive
forces will unite to urge my name be-

Asked specifically whether he would

the convention floor, James refused to
say. Bryan will be named as the Ne

insisted that their man would poll 5lz
votes, having 423 instructed and eighty

had only 122, and ffty-eight pledged.
The Respective Claims.
The Clark managers insist positively

who are supposed to have a good line
on the situation were quietly insisting
that Clark would show his tota
strength on the first ballot, and If he
had not enough to nominate then he
would dwindle on the second ballot
The Wilson men claim, however, tina
they will have 222 instructed dele
gates on the first ballot and that there
are 1877 pledged to fall in line. They
also claim that they will receive the
strong accession from he uninstructeC
delegates.
