Anything May Happen.
At noon today the conditions were
outlined by a big democratic leader
as follows: '"This situation is 50 COM
plicated and has so many angles that
anything is possible to happen IN the
next few hours; that is, anything that
would be acceptable to William Jen-
nings Bryan.
Broadly speaking. 1t looks at this
hour as il it would be Champ Clark, or
dark horse. There will have to be
another try-out for Underwood. We
do not know at this moment whether
the deadlock can be broken without q
number Of wearying roll calls"
The Indiana delegation met this fore
noon and resolved to stand pat for Mar
shall, on the ground that the chances of
dark horse look good, and that this
is the time of times to back their own.
Shortly after noon rumor spread
that Chairman James would recognize a
motion to abrogate the two-thirds rule.

the report. THAT proposition has not

Mr.. James, Of course, is an ardent
Clark man.
