Breaks to Wilson.

The anti Clark leaders In the con-
yention called attention to the fact
tnat they almost exactly offset the 80
votes given 10 Clark by the Now York
delegation. Breaks to Governor VII
son were coming from many different
delegations ms the bnlloting closed.
His managers believed that once ne
had oyertaken Speaker Clark, the
switching of delegates would become
general. The CLARK forces plan To
make desperate effort tomorrow to
win back some OF the delegates lost
today and In this work they probably
VIII have the personal direction Of tho
speaker himself The Wilson forces
In the meantime expect 10 fight not
only to hold their gains or today, but
to induce more to desert the other
candidates.
Senator Stone Of Missouri made a
motion TO eliminate the least number
OF votes on each successive roll call
after the twenty seventh ballot until
only one-the winner--was left. There
was a storm of objection and the sub.
ject was pressed no further.
The Harmon delegates from Ohio
threw their support to Speaker Clark
on several ballots, but they did not
materially nelp him toward the nee
essay two thirds vote, because of the
general inroads made by Wilson, and
they changed back to Harmon, re-
naming there until the last ballot ol
tho ntght,
The great bulk Of tho Massachusetts
delegation deserted Clark ana started Il

element.
Remarkable Deadlock.

to whom splendid luncheon was serv-

all of the factories of goods handled
by this company are on hand to demon

instruction will be of untold benefit to
the farmers in assisting them in the
selection of their farm implements,

hundred persons enjoyed the lunch

there is little chance of the street dis

the chances are that the streets, along

with admiring thousands, cheering the
handsomest parade ever seen with a
circus, and the Great Dublin $4,000

to view.
