Baltimore July 1.-The talk around the Connecticut headqartes today concerned itself primarily with the acior the delegation would take when the balong sufned today.
 The Connecticut delegation vote on first ballot was for Clark HolIoran Meara, McNei Dunn, Connor Spell lafv Mahan for Underwood Stoddard Fitzgerald Thoms, Colnstock for Wilson, Kennedy, Kerr and Thomas
 The defection of one vote from Wilson back to Un derood is explained by the fact that Huvan alternate for Connor of Enfield voted for Wilson o the last ballot Saturday evening contrary says Connor to his wishes
 Connor insists that Underwood is his first choice and Clark his second complete poll of the delegation this moaning indicates the following situation:
 Mahan first choice Underwood; second choice, Clark
 Cornstock, first choice Underwood; second choice CiJrk

WHAT F NEl YORK SHOULD
 VOTE FOR GOVERNOR WILSON?
Farmers Staff Correspondent Says That Delegates Fear x Result If Murphy Should Line Up for Jerseyman

Bryan as against Parker showed where he stood
 In his statement MT. Bryan calls both Clark and Wilson progresaives and intimate that if Clark would only not accept the support of Murphy he would still be an acceptable can- didate to him. Bryan expects the pro- gressives to get together and put over a nominee without New Yorsr's 90 votes. He thinks that either Clark or Wilson can be such a nominee.
 Tn case they can't get together he specifically names Kern. James. Cui- person and O'Gorman as satisfactory dark horse" candidates.
 The mention of O'Gorraan, who is Tasnmany hall progressive leaves MT. Bryan something to explain. It Indicates that MT. Bryan feels that there are good Tanmany men and bad and that it is Murphy and the crowd behind him that MT. Bryan is fighting. It is a clever move. In s1b- stance Bryan makes the issue, by this O'Gorman endorsement. not Ta1nmany, but Murphy.
 Bryan's statement concilatory in tone. to Clark is not pleasing to Wi1- son supporters. They claim and rightly that Clark already made his choice when he cast his lot with Par ker on the temporary chairmanRllip, and that Wilson is entitled to foD1e- thing more than a non-cOmmfttal at tnude from Bryan after his courage ous stand on this matter If Bryan now went back to Clark because Tam many to force such an action might throw it's vote to Wilson. would, say the Governors supporters, be tl,e f-es~i't Of irgrat tftude on Bryan's part. Nobody will blame Bryans for main taining consistent attitude. but clearly the die has been cast and the only course the Nebraskau can now pursue with real consistency is to stick by the man who stuck by him when the big Parker fight was on. Bryan is doomed to ultimate deGeaG if he attempts to battledore and shut tlecock between the Wilson and Clark forces The Clark crowd are already enraged toward him. The Wilson peo- pie are fast losing patience. Bryan must use all his strength to put Wfi- son over or before the convention is many hours older. he may find a combination of Clark. Wilson and Murphy men to give the nomination to Underwood and this of all outcomes is the one Bryan would least relish If Underwood iz nonffnated: if WfI- son is not nominated.

Baltimore, July 1-Democrats whose loyalty to Bryan has never been ques- toned are sore at heart today over the Nebraskan leader. These men do not hesitate to say that if Bryan s advice is followed the nomination of progressives like Champ Clark and Woodrow Wilson is rendered next to impossible. Bryan says he will not stand for the nomination of any can didate whose naming depends upon the vote of the New York delegation. He takes the position that the Democrat ic nominee in order to win in Novem- Der must be nominated without the aid of the New York delegation.
 Although he and his friends in the Nebraska delegation have been vot- ing for Wilson for many ballots he announces that whenever the New York vote is poIled for Wilson he and his followers will swing away from the New Jersey candidate Where Bryan will then go can not be told definitely. He may go back to Clark or he may take up Kern, James, Gull person, OGOfman or some OIner pro- gressive. The purpose of this move he insists Yis to save from odium that would well nigh engulf 1t. the candi- dacy of the nominee of the conyen- tion Bryan is seemingly irrevocably committed to the idea that the nom inee of the Baltimore convention can not nope for success if 1t becomes ap- parent that in order to be named he must have obtained the vote of the New York delegation.
 What his friends do not like. is the effect that this move may have upon the Wilson cAndf0Mcy assuming that Clark continues to lose ground. They insist that Wilaon should not be aban- doned by Bryan even though Murphy should cast New York's vote for him for the excellent reason that Wilson alone of the known progressive can didate came oufk fla footed for the Bryan program S-d sassalst the Park CT candidacy at the outset of the con sveffti0Tl Wliatey CT pre- reelection under standing may have been had between the Clark raanagers and the New York delegation, surely the attitude of Woodrow Wilson in championing

 The poll showed that the delegates stood, Wilson 13. Clark 6 and 1 ab- sent James started to rule when Theodore Bell came to the platform and raised a point of order
 James declared that Bell should be heard. Kansas objected and made the point of order that Bell had no right to speak in the matter. James insist ed that Bell was within his right and directed Bell to proceed. A dozen delegates continued to object but Bell went ahead The noise became so great he was compelled to stop.
 Palmer of Pennsylvania replied to Bell. He said he and most of the delegates wanted to finish the work of the convention. He said the dele gates on the floor were 19 as one was absent He declared that, while Kansas was entitled to 20 votes, as there were only 19 present, 13 con stituted two-t thirds of the delegates. He cited. precedents sof the House of Representatives which, he said, prov ed his point.

At the thirtieth ballot today Wilson passed Clark, polling 460 votes to the Speakers 455.
 There were strong indications of g break to Wilson. Earlier in the day the delegation from Indiana came to Wilson. It had voted steadily for Marshall, but now cast 2s of it's 29 votes for Wilson. the other being for Kern
 Iowa also broke from Clark, cast. ing a majority of it's delegates for Wilson,
 As various states voting under the unit rule in the morning cast vote for Clark, the vote was challenged lin several states Upon this poll Iowa showed g votes for Wilson, New York g, Oklahoma and Kansas Ia.
 The ballots resulted as follows:

 Wilson had started the day with 4075z votes on the 18th ballot. as against 463h for the Speaker. He gained slowly but. steadily however, and on the 30th ballot went past the Speaker.
 Iowa split on this ballot, IA dele gates voting for Wilson as against 12 for Clark and Congressman Henry D. Clayton. of Alabama, acting as chair man, ruled that the unit rule should be broken and the vote should be recorded as cast
 The announeement that they had at last secured the lead caused the Wi,- son supporters to start an uproarious demonstration and the leaders re- doubled their efforts to get others in line for Wilson.
