ProgreSSiveS Accuse Parker
of Being Tool of "Big BuSi-
neSs'' and ReaCtionarieS
Say Bryan Wants Nomina-
ton for Himself

BALTIMORE, Md, June 25.-The hope
of harmony In the Democratic convention
has taken wings. and early this morning
every indication pointed to a determined
fight all down the line. from the election
of temporary chairman, to the nominal
ton of a presidential ticket.
The reactionary leaders contend that
Bryan himself is a candidate for the
nomination and that his attack on Al
ton B. Parker is but a preliminary move
looking to Bryan's nomination. They as
sert that Bryan is ready to throw both
Clark and Wilson overheard at the psy-
Geological minute. They declare that the
Wilson delegates are ready to compro-
mise with Bryan and accept the vice
presidency for the Jersey governor. This
contention is emphatically and vigorously
denied by the Wilson people. and many
OF the delegates who are to vote for his
nomination. These men admit that there
is much in common between Bryan and
Wilson, but they rely upon Bryan to
give to Wilson his earnest support for
the nomination.
Champ Clark was the strongest man
who blocked the progressives last night.
BY combination the Clark and conserva-
tive forces hope to be able TO nominate
Clark on the second or third ballot.
ALL SIDES CONFIDENT.
The conservative forces are confident
that in the end they will be able TO
steam roller Mr.. Bryan. Equal con-
fidence is felt in the Wilson camp and
the progressives who follow Bryan on
the floor of the convention say victory
viii be theirs.
Murphy has convinced his friends that
he is for Harmon, and wants the ohioan
nominated. Harmon's enemies charge
that he reflects the desire of Thomas F.
Ryan, who is in Baltimore surrounded
by a number Of powerful tobacconists.
Influences are at work in Baltimore
to compel Mr.. Bryan to bolt his party.
Pat" Calhoun, of California. and r.
M. Stevenson, called Big Steve" of
Colorado, two Of the men who aided the
Taft machine to steam roll the Repub-
liean convention in Chicago. are in Bal
timore.
Senator Joseph l.. Bristow, one of the
strongest and most pronounced Roosevelt
men. with Senator Charles D. Works, Of
California, is also here.
Senator Works held a conference
with Mr.. Bryan, in the afternoon. 1t

FOR A HOT AND HECTIC SESSIO

unaided within its cavernous recesses.
In consequence the Democratic conven-
ton stretches from the Belvedere,
where the Sullivan wing of a firm,
united Democracy holds forth, to the
Emerson, where the Hearst workers
have a floor and the Gaynor and Wilson
shouters try to mingle freely in a lobby
as big as a Texas statesman's hat.
Between these two hotels are almost a
dozen others, each infested with a
headquarters, and the mile-long road
which connects these is one continuous
vaudeville show, the Alabama marching
club with only one whiskeTed colonel in
it, the rest looking as If they might
have come from the South Bend Com
mercial club, the Gaynor club, fat Tam
many chiefs in decollette carriages, the
Missouri mule chorus with a struggling
purp as insignia. the st. Mary's Boys
band playing Dixie" and getting a
dozen rebel yells per block, the Prince
ton college Woodrow Wilson club, con-
gested with intricate whoops. the Har-
mon marehers. dignified but heavily
badged, all of these made the trip at
least once during the day.
BANDS.
And whenever a band got near hotel
it wedged itself into its tiny lobby and
turned on full organ. Dixie" and
Maryland" got played a thousand times
apiece today, but the record of Every
body's Doin It," made in Chicago. will
not be approached. There aren't enough
bands in Baltimore to turn the trick.
There is just one towering figure in
Baltimore and that is Bryan. He got
yell mile long when he came to
town, every reporter has dropped the
small fry and is camped outside his
door, convention business waits the re-
suit of his conferences, and over the
whole mass of perspiring Democrats
the deepest anxiety rules.
What will Bryan do? WIN lie run
the convention himself2 VIII he throw
it out of the convention hail? VIII he
prorogue? Will he change the name of
the party? VIII he fuse il with Gel
onel Roosevelts new party? viii ne
write the platform himself or merely
edit it? Will he alIbw Parker 70 wear

These are the burning questions in the
hotel Hobbies.
OF course there is a convention. but
il is merely sort of annex m william,
J. Bryan. To hpmSle, unbadged out

looked as If Bryan could not only run

THOMAS F. RYAN
IS ON THE FLOOR AS
VIRGINIA DELEGATE
For First Time in Political His
tory a Money King Appeared
in Person to Direct Fight in
Convention

BALTIMORE. Md. June 25.-For the
first time one of the great money kings
OF America has appeared in person at a
national political convention TO carry
on the fight for the money interests.
Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan. multi-millionaire,
Of New York. one Of the heads Of the
tobacco trust, head OF the New York
Traction interests, and a power I'm rail
road and financial circles generally, came
to Baltimore early yesterday in his pri-
vate car over the Pennsylvania rail-
road and went at once to apartments he
had reserved at the Washington on
Mount Vernon place.
He slipped into town very quietly and
very few outside of his confidence knew
that he was in the city. He had reserved
apartments at the Belvedere. but did not
go TO them. Every possible precaution
OF secrecy was thrown about his move
ments and he refused to see any one ex-
eept by appointment.
CAME TO FIGHT.
He has a private telephone line in his
apartments which he used TO summon
those with whom he desired to have
conversation with. He was in communica-
do to all others.
The presence of Mr.. Ryan in Baltimore
at this time when the fight is being
made against his influence in the Demo-
cratic party. as Il was made in Chicago
against him and the men he has lined
party-and when it is known that the
tight in the convention will be directed
aaginst him and the men he has lined
up with him is sensational in itself.
The great money kings have conducted
their fights heretofore from Wall
street and from Is Broadway, but
II Is a rare sight to see them come
out in to the open and do their fighting
in person on the floor Of the conven-
ton itself.
And having made his stand for Judge
Parker. "the only thing New York
wanted from the convention" he did
not propose to back down. For Ryan
is a fighter and he is one of the most
feared men in Wall street. They they
call him a financial pirate" and point
to his demands made for a share in
the control Of the fabulous assets of
the Equitable Life Assurance associ-
alton at the time the control of the
association was trusted.

FORCING CLARKS HAND. us .-
BY voting for ollie James in the COM
mittee last night, the Wilson men
forced the hand Of the Clark people and
compelled a majority OF them to go on
record as in favor of conservative
candidate for temporary chairman. They
think this has embarrassed the Clark
candidates and makes Wilson the only
progressive candidate,
In effect it has done this. but while
it makes Wilson the only candidate on
the first ballot. there is Bryan. If the,
progressives win. it is a question up to
Mr. Bryan to make the choice of being
a candidate himself or going 10 Wilson.
There is only one WY to change the
tide so that the situation will not take
that turn: that is the nomination of
Clark on the second or third ballot.
Leaders Of the Clark campaign were
Significantly enthusiastic last night.
A majority of the Clark men on the
national committee had stuck to Parker
This kept Clark on the side of the
conservatives and kept him still in a
position of bidding for New York's vote.
They have become convinced that Tam
many Leader Murphy wants Harmon
But the Clark people have hopes Of
splitting the Murphy -Mack-Tagg
Sullivan combination getting the vote
of Indiana and Connecticut on the
second ballot and finally of making the
Clark column so large that New York
will come to the speaker. Clark's ad-
vantage lies in the fact that with the
party absolutely divided by the fight
between progressives and conservatives
he has the largest nucleus of any can
didate either conservative or progress

CAPT. FEEDERS
fine PENDING

SAN FRANCISCO, December 81
Special Deputy Customs Surveyor
Charles H. Blinn received reply yes
terday from r. P. Scherwin of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company to
his letter requesting the companys
cooperation with the Surveyor in pre-
venting the landing of opium from
steamers at the Mail dock. Mr.
Schwerin wrote to the effect that he
would gladly do all in his power to
assist in stopping the smuggling of
the drug into this port, and that he
would at once carry out the sugges-
ton of the Surveyor that the Mail
dock should be lighted and that all
distinctions on the dock left by work
men should be removed before dark
so as not to impede the movements of
the cusoms watchmen.
On Christmas night the watchmen
were agreeably surprised on finding
that the steamship company on Mr..
Schwerin's order had installed four
cluster electric lights on the dock,
lighting up the whole side of the
steamship Manchuria The ports of
the vessel also were closed after dark
so as to prevent the lowering of opium
or other struggled goods from the side
of the ship.
No word has been received from
Washington as yet regarding the fine
to be imposed upon Captain Feeder Of
the Manchuria for not having prevent
ed $4,000 worth of opium from being
landed from the Siberia on a coal
barge lying alongside.
