National Committee Puzzled.
Baltimore, Md, June 29.-The Dem
ocratic national committee met today
III an effort to break the deadlock over
the presidential nomination. Soon af
ter the convention adjourned, members
OF the committee gathered at the Bel

the way. Several champions of lead
ing candidates were appealed to an(
Chairman Mack finally called meet

spread quickly through the headquar
ters of the various candidates, anC
/. plans were made by the leaders in al
camps to confer with the committee
each with the hope that out of the con

delegation would stick by Champ Clark
, for total of ten ballots was reported
today and this information settled the
: determination of the Wilson, Harmon
and Underwood leaders to stand with
unyielding front for their candidates
!, in the hope that after the nineteenth
ballot, New York would desert Clark
and throw their support somewhere
else.
