CAUSES TROUBLE
IN CONVENTION
NaEl.A !
HE REFUSED TO SUPPORT MAN
WHO GETS VOTES OF MUIR.
PLY AND RYAN.
Violating His Primary instructions,
Nebraskan Defiantly Declares He
Will Change Again if Murphy and
His Crowd Come Over to Wilson.

Convention Hall. Baltimore, June 20
Under the guise Of explaining a
change of vote in the Nebraska dele
cation, w. J. Bryan got another hear
ing in the democratic national con-
Vention today and again threw the
delegates and spectators into a dis
orderly uproar. Bryan, who under
primary instructions, had been vot-
ing for Clark, announced that he
would not vote for him again while
New York was included in the Clark
column.
He changed his vote to Woodrow
Wilson, but de1antly declared he
would change again if s'Mr Murphy"
and the "Ryan- -Be1mont-Morgan
crowd should vote for Wilson. Bryan
was assailed from the floor by many
delegates who demanded that his
speech be stopped and by others who
wanted to know if he would support
the nominee Mr. Bryan said he lex
pected" to do so, but he also expected
the convention to nominate man
without the support g of the inter-
ests."
Bryan Pale and Haggard.
Bryan was pale and haggard as he
stood on the platform facing the
tumult he had created on the floor
below him. He swayed back and
forth and from time to time irlopped
hn nj FRO ,;o
one hand he held the iron railing in
front of him and with the ether he
nervously welded big palm leaf
fan. When he spoke he had a def
ant glare in his eyes. His voice was
husky. Occasionally he would let go
his hold on the railing to shs ke
warning finger at the delegates.
Bryan held the stage for nearly an
hour. 1t was thought to be his last
stand before the convention, but he
declared that if the right man was
nominated he would introduce q res
olution authorizing the candidate to
appoint his own campaign committee
and not be handicapped by a national
committee on which "the interests"
were represented.
Bryan's sensational move interrupt
ed the fourteenth ballot. It created
great deal of feeling and seemed
in the opinion of most Of the leaders
to finally dispose of the Nebraskan
as a possible candidate. The an
tagonism to him seemed inter :e.
The convention hall was rapidly
filling at 1885, many delegations al
ready were in place and the galleries
were about half filled and steady
streams arriving. Prevailing talk from
the floor was that several breaks were
imminent and an early decisive ballot
aikely.
The hall was the center of inter-
est and expectancy as the hour for
resuming the balloting drew near,
though the crush was not so great
as on previous days. This was at
tributed to the intense heat.
Many of the leading supporters of
the presidential aspirants were in
the hall early comforting earnestly
with advance guards Of the delega-
tions.
Lookout for something on the next
roll CALI was the word that was
passed around, coming from the Ne
braska delegation.
Senator MARITIME of New Jersey, one
who heard this rumor, was anxious
to find out what it was
Encouraging Wilson News.
81 can't tell kou just what is going
to happen, but something ise going to
break in the Nebraska delegation a
delegate informed him
81 think we will nominate Governor
Wilson today" said the senator. 1--WE
have heard encouraging news
Mingled in the varying reports was
that which had been circulated con-
stantly since early morning that New
