 BALTIMORE. July ?. 12:4O a. m.- The national Democratic convention has just adjourned for the night without having arrived at any de cison in the matter of choosing q candidate for the presidency. The result at this time apparently is as doubtful as any time since the balloting began last week. Monday balloting. however. has changed the positions of the leading candidates for the nomination. and it is conti- dently expected that some definite action will he taken before the enc of another day. The delegates are beginning to switch from one can didate to another. and it is though they are approaching a frame of mind to settle upon some one man when the psychological moment ar riVeS.
 When the result of the forty-sec- ond ballot, which was the last taken before adjournment. was announced Governor Wilson headed the list with a total of 9D4 votes while Champ Clark came second with 430 votes Wilson had gained steadily nearly all day, although the last two bal lots cut his lead down from 5U1 which he received on the thirty. ninth ballot.
 The change of positions of the two leading candidates is tttrihUtec to the attack made upon Clark ny William Jennings Bryan, wno open. ly charged the speaker of the house with being allied with the Jig inter- ests of the country. The charges Of Bryan appeared to have imnedi ate effect upon the delegates. a number of whom withdrew 'heir support from Clark on the succeed ing ballots following the denounce- ment
 The thirtieth ballot proceeded lei surely. and without material change on the part Of the delegates. The first stir of the day occurred when ten of Harmon's 29 Ohio votes were withdrawn in favor of Underwood, while Wilson's 19 of the same dele gation. remained intact The de- Sertion of the Ohio delegates from Harmon was followed shortly after by Vermont quitting Foss for the New Jersey candidate. Wilson had been gaining steadily though slowly upon Clark during the earlier bal loting, and the eight Vermont votes placed him in the lead for the first time.
 In the thirtieth ballot. Clark had i4Il2 votes and Wilson 4T9l2. An adjournment was then taken until eight o'clock this evening, and when the baloting was resumed Clark dropped 10 4331.. while his rival jumped to 49412. his principal gain coming from Underwood. The thirty-SiXth ballot showed no change. In the thirty seventh ballot. Clark lost another vote. and Wilson gain ed two. and ill the thirty eighth, the speaker had 42o. and Wilson 49Sl2. Clark lost votes in the thirty-ninth. regained one of them in the fortieth, and another in the forty first. and finished for the night with 43O. In the thitry-ninth. Wilson had 5o1, Tn the fortieth, the same, in the forty first. 499, and in the forty second, 494.
 Because of the several fistic en, counters which took place on the floor Of the convention, following the attempt of the Clark men and others to parade about the hall with banners. Chairman James this after noon ruled that no further display of banners will be tolerated, and that there must be no more march
 ing The chairman reminded the delegates that they were there to nominate candidate in the regular manner. and not by the stampedirS method through the medium of cam paign banners. The ruling of the presiding officer was received With applause from both delegates and spectators.
 The unprecedented length of the convention has resulted in financial embarrassment to many of the dele gates. who came to this city pre- pared to remain but a few days Many of the spectators also have run out of funds, and the wires have been kept hot during the past two days by those who have been compelled to send home for more money The wives, mothers and friends of the visitors have been reminded to not forget to make re mittanceS at the earliest possible moment
 From the time the convention ad- journed late Saturday night, until ! the delegates were called to order this morning. the leaders have been in almost constant conference in an endeavor to effect compromise The attempt failed utterly, however, as none of the candidates would { consent to drop out of the race in favor of another Acting under in structions from Wilson, his support 1 CTS refused to listen to any of the overtures looking to his withdrawal. Through his representatives in the i convention. the New Jersey gover- i nor has expressed the determine ] tiOn to remain in the race just as
