TWO LONG DEMONSTRATIONS
Will SON AND CLARK DEMONSTRA.
TON BREAK THE
MONOTONE.
Fourth Nights Session Ends After
Twelfth Ballot Shows Nominal
ton No Nearer Than
Than At First.

Baltimore, June 29.-After an all
night session the Democratic national
convention reconvened at 4 o'clock
Friday to take the second ballot.
The chance of a nomination on the
second ballot vanished when the Ohio
vote was cast This brought the total
opposition to Clark up above the "
mark, making it impossible for Clark
to secure the necessary two-thirds of
the convention.
A great demonstration was precipi-
tated when on the tenth ballot came
Charles F. Murphy's voice: ''New
York casts 81 for Champ Clark"
The rest of his announcement was
lost in the uproar that swept the hall.
The Clark people with yell leaped to
their chairs and demonstration was
under way.
Missouri's standard left it's place.
Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas and Kentucky
fell in behind and the parade around
the hall began.
Up in the band stand the band
blared forth "Tammany" and the up
roar increased. Half dozen Clark
banners appeared and soon the aisles
were filled with struggling mass Of
yelling enthusiasts. The parade be-
came a rout.
The District of Columbia, Maryland,
New Mexico, California, Colorado,
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Nevada,
Washington and Illinois standards
swung into the wild scramble.
Some one tried to tear the Massa-
chusetts standard out and a struggle
followed. The struggle began to look
serious and the standard was forced
back into place.
Meantime the New York standard
ed high above the yelling mob. The
other standard bearers tried to scale
the stand and several of them gained
it. But two policemen barred the way
and after near fight the bearers
were held back. Charles L. Geraghty
of St. Louis, Mo-, who carried the
Rhode Island banner had fight with
a policeman and was driven from the
stand The turmoil increased as the
parade again took to the aisles.
The "houn' dog song by the band
aroused another outburst. The Clark
leaders went into the crowd and tried
to quiet them so that the vote might
go on but with little success.
The demonstration continued for FL
minutes.
When "Alfalfa Bill" Murray, of Ok
lahoma, got on his feet and declared
for Wilson saying that his part of the
delegation did not propose to be drag
ged into Tammany hall. This gave
rise to Wilson demonstration.
When the Wilson demonstration had
been under way for some time, Will
lam Jennings Bryan, accompanied by
Mrs. Bryan entered the hall. He went
at once to the section occupied by
the Nebraska delegation and Mrs.
Bryan went to the stage. The demon
stration increased as she appeared,
and she laughingly waved greeting
to the yelling throng.
Bryan's face bore look of deter
mination as he took his place with
the Nebraskans.
The delegates crowded about him
demanding counsel but he ignored
them. He gazed at the wild disorder
about him and talked with Samuel w.
Untermyer of New York, counsel for
the money trust investigating commit
tee, who hurried to him.
The Wilson demonstration then had
been under way Is minutes and Chair
man James sought in vain to quiet the
tumult.
The Wilson demonstration had been
under way 50 minutes when Senator
James sent sergeant-at-arms through
the aisles. This had the effect, for
the bulk of the disturbance came from
the galleries.
Mr.. Bryan returned to his place
with the Nebraska delegates just as
the uproar began to subside. When
some semblance of order was restored
Chairman James ordered Oklahoma
passed.
The last ballot up to one o'clock
Saturday was:
Clark ................... 547h
Wilson Observation-Disclosures. 354'
Underwood .................. 1913
Marshall ........ 80
