BALTIMORE, June 29.-Hundreds
after hundreds of persons. more than
half of whom were women streamed
into the convention hall this afternoon.
Delegates came slowly in twos and
all night. At 1907 Chairman James
called the convention TO order.
When the delegates dropped into
| their places they wondered what New
York proposed to do with her big vote
| during the day.
John F. Mcintyre. counsel for Tam
many and a delegate was asked about
| the situation. THE proposition is
| merely that We will. in all human prob
ability, continue to vote with Clark
for two or three ballots. We have as.
surance that marked strength will
come to him during that time. II il
does not We will probably send the
vote to Underwood. In my judgment
Wilson has no more chance than q
SNOWFALL would have in -, well in
this convention hall. The New York
delegation will stay here for a month
before it will vote for him."
Delegates Were Ready.
The Democratic National convention
reconvened at 1:07 o'clock today for
| the third session, at which the bust.
| ness of nominating a man for presi
| dent was paramount. After they had
two nights of balloting the delegates
| assembled ready to continue the fight
to the bitter end. The convention
arose while the Rev. John Roach STRAIT
ton, pastor of the Seventh Baptist
church offered prayer.
There was bad blood in the Mary.
| land delegation. Four of the delegates
| wanted to go to Wilson, and one to
Underwood. and two of the others OBJ
jected, being determined to hold all
| for Clark. Senator Raynor and Con
gressman Talbot fell out over the
situation. Hard words were exchang.
ed and they did not speak when they
passed each other today.
Bryan to Take Lead.
1t was announced in the Nebraska
delegation that George l.. Loomis
planned to resign as chairman in or.
der that William Jennings Bryan
could succeed him and divide the vote
of the delegates among the so-called
progressive candidates. Nebraska has
been casting thirteen votes for Clark
and three for Wilson.
A demonstration for William Jen.
nings Bryan was started. The Bryan
| demonstration lasted two minutes.
When he left the Nebraska delegation
to go to the speakers stand he was
| cheered.
After a long conference the Mary.
land delegates finally decided that the
instructions bound them to support
Clark until such time as his vote was
surpassed by that of another candi.
