 Woodrow Wilson gaining on each bal. lot and Speaker Clark consistent, losing ground in the race for the pres idential nomination, the Democratic national convention at 11.O5 tonigh adjourned until Monday morning al Il o'clock.
 Twenty-six ballots had been taker since the first call of the states anc there was no hope of a final yerdlct tonight. It is against all politica precedent for a national convention 10 sit on Sunday, but tomorrow will be a day of important conferences among party leaders and a day oi hard work for campaign canagers.
 When the convention took a recess tonight. Speaker Clark was hurrying to Baltimore from Washington in re- sponse to an urgent call from bis campaign director William Jennings Bryan at the afternoon session at lacked Clark and had said he would vote for no man willing to accept nomination at the hands of Murphy of Tammany Hall" It was the plan of Mir. Clark to appear before the convention and answer this. In this way his managers hoped to bolster he falling vote.
 The ballots today ran from the thir- teenth to the twenty sixth. Wilson began at 356i9 and ended at 407l5. a net gain during the day of 51 votes. Speaker Clark began at 554 and fell to 45SIs, a net loss Of 9O1s votes.
 The anti-Clark leaders in the con- yention called attention to the fact that this almost exactly offset the % votes given to Clark by the New York delegation. Breaks to Governor Will son were coming from many delega- tons as the balloting closed. His managers believed that once he had oyertaken Speaker Clark the switch ing of delegates would become gen. eral.
 The Clark forces plan to make a desperate effort tomorrow to win back some of the delegates lost today a. q in this work they probably will have the personal direction of the speaker himself
 The Wilson forces in the meantime expect to fight. not only to hold their gains of today but to induce more to desert the other candidates.
 Senator Stone of Missouri tonight made a motion to eliminate the can didate receiving the lowest number of votes on each succeeding ballot after the twenty seventh until one the winner~was left in the race. There was a storm of objection and the subject was pressed no further
 The Harmon delegates from Ohio threw their support to Speaker Clark on several ballots, but they did not materially help him toward the neces- sary two-thirds vote because of the gradual inroads made by Wilson. They then changed back to Harmon and remained there until the last bal lot of the evening.
 The great bulk of the Massachu- setts delegation deserted Clark to- night and started a Floss boom. II created little excitement.
 The deadlock confronting the con- vention is the most remarkable n the history of modern politics There was no one in the convention today ahle ta rea!all another instance ii which it had required anything like the number of ballots to nominate that so far have been taken without result
 Having failed to nominate with ths week end it is not anticipated thd' the delegates will hurry to a deels- ion on Monday and the fight may De prolonged for several days lA, Clark people are still confident thai enough of their delegates will remali steadfast to constitute the necessary one-third to prevent a nomination. Many Of the delegates were hopetn that an early decision might be reaeh ed but the two leading candidates were tonight so far short of the f2o l-' votes necessary to nominate that tas problem ahead seemed a most dllh' cult one.
 Beginning with the thirteenth baiio this afternoon the convention resumed the tedious round of roll calls. Iner' was little or no change from the thur teenth to the twentieth ballot, eA cept that Governor Foss, or Massa chusetts received his first vote on eh' thirteenth ballot.
 During the twentieth ballot, sen ator Bankhead manager of the oh derwood forces, received telesrdl from Representative Underwood, say ing: eWe control the situation. hope my friends will stand firm,
