hopelessly deadlocked, had adjourn

making an appeal to the convention
IN his own behalf. They objected Ia
the activity Of Messrs Dubois and
Williams, as they believed the CON
Nehtlon would misinterpret Clark's
appearance on the platform
It was no surprise therefore. when
Governor Francis Of the Clark forces
seconded the motion Of Representtiye
a. Mitchell Palmer camp TO adjourn
over Sunday. Mr., Clarks train left
Washington at 1915, and tha adj
lournment was taken within fifteen
minutes of the time the news reached

he would withhold his vote from the

vote went to him At the same
lime they argued that he could wipe

ans assault was delivered. The ma
Iority Of the Missouri delegates felt
.hal while Clark would be justified
n facing Mr. Bryan and defending
before the convention, his
opponents would charge that his ap-
'earance was for the purpose of err
ionally seeking yindcation in the

II redress lay in an immediate con-
ronting of Mr.. Bryan and the con-
'ention They urged him to take tho

The chances are that Mr.. Clark
would have reached the convention
'all in time TO make a dramatic en-
rance, had not the plans of Messrs.
Williams and Dubois become known.
