 Baltimore. June 2S.-The waiting game so much in evidence in Chicago last week is being played here, and the delay is hazardous to the candi- dacy of Champ Clark. as all kinds of combinations are being formed 10 de feat the Missourian.
 If the nomination had been made earlier in the week Clark would have been nominated. The once peerless William Jennings Bryan has joined the engineers division of the steam rollers union, and he is oiling the machinery to unlevel the road of Har- mony.
 The cOmmoner was successful in breaking tE- unit rule, which will be helpful to Gov. Woodrow Wilson. and he is using every possible method to break down the fences of Missouri's favorite son.
 Senator William Joel Stone tried to show tactful politics when he prac- tically divided the Missouri votes in the temporary chairmanship contest, in order to placate Bryan and prevent an outward fight against Clark by the Bryanites, but the rule or ruin pol- cies of Bryan appear on the surface at the most inopportunF occasions.
 The conservative Democrats are displeased with the methods of the aspiring fourth-termer, and may de- sert Clark for dark horse in order to insure the defeat of the Bryan Wilson combination.
 If Missouris favorite son is not his i'll luck will be laid to the door of the Nebraskan.
 Result in Doubt.
 It was an easy matter to forecast the result of the Republican conven- tion, but as matters now stand no one can horoscope the outcome of the Democratic conclave.
 At the commencement of the week it was a two-candidate race and Clark looked the winner.
 There need be no surprise now if Judson Harmon is the nominee. Charles Murphy and his Tammany- ites have no love for Mayor Gaynor, though he will receive a few votes from the Empire State delegation.
 Down in his heart Murphy's vote is for Harmon, and he would like to see the Ohio governor the Democratic candidate for president. Incidentally there are some Missourians who would be pleased to see Harmon nom: mated.
 The balloting will be long contest | and the longer the more hurtful foi the interests of Clark.
 The Underwood forces are working
