No tickets OF admission We're re.
quired today, and with free show"
the convention was packed to capac-
itJ.
Up to the very moment of calling
the convention to order conferences
We're held. But there was apparently
no result. The Underwood forces
were trying to make. a deal with all
other delegations, but failed to make
any Roadway.
Governor Foss visited Bryan at the
Belvedere hotel today He conversed
with the peerless" for fifteen minutes
and afterward said
I came to assure Mr.. Bryan that l
am not seeking delegates at the pres
ent time. | will not become an active
candidate unless it Is apparent that a
hopeless deadlock exists. That is the
attitude ! have maintained all along
and was not consulted by the
Massachusetts delegation when it
shifted to me-
A suggestion that met with favor In
certain quarters was for a recess of
four weeks during which preferential
primaries could be held in the various
states. This plan was declared by
many western leaders to be a good
one, but the fasteners denounced 1t
as Bryan plot"
The New York delegates were in a
bitter mood today. The constant ex-
correlation by Bryan was having its
effect
We have tried to be dignified and
not meet abuse with abuse said
Governor Dix, "but think the time
has come when we will have to take
positive position in opposition to
Bryan's action
| 1t was 11:o3 when the convention
was called to order by Chairman
James, the opening prayer was by
Rev. S. Carroll Coale, of Baltimore.
Bryan came in Immediately after
the prayer and was uproariously
cheered by the galleries. The major
ity of the delegates sat stolidly in their
seats. A desperate effort was mace
Just before the convention was called
to order by the Champ Clark manag-
ers to formulate some plan of action
but as Representative Sulzer said
nothing was Accomplished
I We stand just Where we stood
! when the convention adjourned satur
/ day. said Sulzer. We won't nomi
1 nate today, tomorrow nor Wednes
