 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 re- mained there until the last ballot of the evening.
 Massachusetts Deserts Clark
 The great bulk of the Massachusetts delegation deserted Clark tonight and started a Foss boom. It created little excitement, The deadlock confronting the convention is the most remarkable in the history of modern politics. There was no one in the convention today able to recall another Instance in re- cent years which it had required any th ng like the number of ballots to nominate that so far have been taken without result
 Many of the delegates were hopeful that an early decision might be reached. The two leading candidates, however, were tonight so far short of the neces~ sary vote to nominate that the prob lem ahead seemed q most difficult one.
 The convention hall was the scene of

Maryland Causes Demonstration

When Maryland, which had been passed. was reached at the end of the roll call q poll of the delegatio.i was demanded. The chairman of the delegation an- nounced l6 votes for Clark. but stated that two members of the delegation wished to state a preference for another candidate.
 When the roll was called the second delegate, Joshua W. Miles, answering to his name, shouted Woodrow Wilsonr' Immediately the convention was in an uproar.
 Miles represented only half a vote. but 1t was the signal for the Wilson ad- herents for a demonstration.
 It was the first indication of long expected break in Maryland and the Will son forces made the most of it. When the demonstration had continued five min utes the We Want Wilson banner was hcisted by several men.
 Soon the aisles were choked with a mass of excited delegates. In the gal leries was heard the shout of We Want Wilson" but it did not last long. The cheering. whistling and hootng drowned it out The roar redoubled as a huge Wilson banner was carried down a side aisle.
 While the excitement was at it's height the Clark forces joined in. Half a dozen Clark banners were Carrled Into the naii. They were greeted with contesting cheers, jeers. hoots and misses. The uproar be- came pandemonium. The Foss crowd added their part to the din.

Two Thousand Are Out at
 New York Alone
OTHER PORTS SUFFER
Is Estimated That 1000 Additional Men Are Striking at Boston, Phila- delphia, Galveston and
 Norfolk

New York, June 29.-Leaders tonight estimated that 2ooO sailors and 200O firemen and oilers were on strike in this port and that 4000 men were out at Boston, Philadelphia. Galveston and Norfolk An officer of the Marine Flremen's union said a number of the steamsh,. vompanis had signed an agreement to increase wages and recognize the union. The brunt of the strike, however, still is di- rected against big coastwise lines, whose officials have refused to grant the de- mands.
 Vessels of these lines left port today considerably after their scheduled sail ing time Most of them were short hand ed and their crews consisted of strilxe- breakers.
 officials of the coastwise lines claim they have enough strkebreakers avail able to prevent tie up. They have brought men from other cities and have them under guard tonight.
 Norfolk. June 29.-The steamer George P. Clyde is resting at her pier here and three coastwise coal boats are tied up at Newport News as a result of the seamen's strike. Early today coal pass sers and stokers of the Clyde and Old Dominion line quit work. The latter com pany evidently anticipated trouble and had men ready to take the strikers places.
 Now Orleans, June 29.-The steam ship Antilles of the Southern Pacific Steamship company, bound for New York with between 150 and 175 pas sengers aboard. was held up this aft ern~,on in the Mississippi river just off Jackson barracks by the strike or mu- tiny of firemen. coal passers, tenders and oilers The crew declares they have struck in conjunction with the general strike movement of the Ma tional Transportation Workers feder- ation. The federal authorities are in vestigatng and the crew, if held to be mutineers. will be arrested. The Parismina of the United Fruit com pany was also held up in the river by a similar strike or mutiny.
 Boston, June 29--Employes of eight coastwise steamships and two towboat companies with headquarters at Bos- ton, struck late today. Some 1900 Bos ton sailors and marine firemen were ordered out. But two boats of affected lines were in port, the Bunker Hill of the Metropolitan line and the City of Augusta of the Savannah line The Bun ker Hill was able to sail an hour late, her striking firemen being replaced.
 Galveston, June 2s-Fifty men from the steamships Concho and Lampasas of the Mallory line and 125 from the Fl Rio, El Mundo, Fl Monte and El Paso of the Morgan line struck at this port today All boats are still in the har- bor except the Lampases, which ob- tained a full crew and sailed for New York later in the day.
