Speakers Plans Unknown.

Whether he would return and endeavor
to address the convention in answer to
Mr.. Bryan's speech Of Saturday was de-
clared at the Clark headquarters to be
problematical. None In the confidence Of
the actual managers of the Clark inter-
ests would say anything about the Speak
er's intentions. Some OF the minor lead
ers were divided in their belief. A few
declared that Mr.. Clark would ask for
an opportunity to appear before the con
vention to deny the intinations by Mr..
Bryan that he had made a deal with the
"Morgan-Ryan-Belm crowd. Others
insisted that Mr.. Clark would not make
any effort to go before the convention.
but would let his own statement, together
with those OF his friends and supporters,
which were prepared yesterday at two
conferences. sufIice for an answer.
One Of the results Of Speaker Clark's
visit was to bring together his principal
campaign directors In one group and his
leading supporters in twenty-six states In
another to issue formal denials that any
deal was made with the New York dele
cation or the Tammany interests as to
the selection Of Judge Parker for tempo
rary chairman In the contest against Mr.
Bryan.
Alleged Deal Denied.

that the vote should go to Wilson, Theo-
dore A. Bell took the floor, after dis

ruling.
The delegates were impatient, and Bell
was frequently interrupted. He argued
that the Kansas delegation could not shift
to Wilson until two-thirds Of the delega-
ton voted for Wilson. He asserted that
thirteen was not two-thirds, and con-
tended the twenty votes should so to
Clark.
Bell had trouble in getting hearing,
and his argument was punctuated Dy
teers and catcalis.

A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania,
the Wilson leader, answered Bell. He
said that with only nineteen Kansas
delegates on the floor thirteen consti-
tuted two-thirds Of the delegation and
their votes should control the state
votes.
