 Himself

Baltimore June 2s,--Under the guise of explaining vote in the Nebraska delega- tion William J. Bryan got another hear ing in the democratic national convention and threw the delegates and spectators into a disorderly uproar again. Bryan. who, under primary instructions, had been voting for Clark, announced that he would not vote for him again while New York was included in the Clark table. He changed his vote to Wilson. but defiantly declared he would change again if C. F. Murphy and the Belmont -Ryan-Morgan
 crowd should vote for Wilson,
 Bryan was assailed from the floor by many delegates who demanded that his
 speech be stopped and by others who l wanted to know If he would support tho | nominee. Bryan said he expected to do so," but he also expected the conven- tion to nominate a man without the sup- port of the interests back of him. Pale and Careworn
 Bryan was pale and careworn as he stood on the platform facing the tumult he had created on the floor below him. He swayed back and forth and from time to time mopped the dripping precipitation from his brow With one hand he held the Iron railing in front of him and with the other nervously yielded a big palm leaf fan in the direction of Mir James. When he spoke he had dehsnt glare in his eyes
 Bryans voice was husky. Occasionally he would let go his hold on the railing to
 shake a varning digit at the delegates. 1 He held the stage for nearly 60 nlnutes. It was thought to be his last stand be- fore the convention He declared, how ever, if the right man was nominated he would introduce q resolution authorizing the candidate to appoint his own cam paign committee and not be hampered by q national committee on which the vest ed interests were represented Ills sensational movement interrupted | the fourteenth ballot. It created a great deal of feeling and seemed in the opinion | of most leaders to the convention to final | ly dispose Of the Nebraskan as a possible | candidate.
 The antagonism to him seemed intense. Full Report of Explanation | Following Is stenographic report of MT.
