 Nine New York Delegates for Wilson.
 A poll of the delegation had been ordered upon the challenge of Dele gate w. H. Edson of Faulkner, Chau- tauQua county. The result of the poll showed that nine of the delegates were for Wilson, two for Underwood one absent and 78 for Clark
 Until the moment of calling the convention to order, conferences were held. But apparently there was no result, The Underwood forces were trying to make a deal with all other delegations. but failed to make any headway.
 The New York delegates were in bitter mood The constant excoria tion by Bryan was having its effect.
 We have tried to be dignihed and not meet abuse with abuse" Gov. Dix said, but l think the time has come when we will have to take a positive position in opposition to Bryan's di- ltribes."
 Bryan Cheered by Galleries.
 Bryan came in immediately after the prayer and was cheered uproari- Ously from the galleries. The major ity of the delegates gave no sign they recognized he was present
 A desperate effort was made just before the convention was called to order by the Clark managers to for mulate some plan of action, but, as Representative Sulzer said, nothing was accomplished"
 We stand just where we were when the convention adjourned Satur- | day" Sulzer said. We won't nomi- nate today, tomorrow nor Wednes- l day"

 When Murphy voted 90 votes for Clark, w. H. Edson of Faulkner, ChautauQua county, in the New York delegation, arose in his seat and chal- lenged the vote of the state. This was done to force a roll call and find put just how each delegate stood, al though it was certain that, as the delegation was instructed in the state convention to vote under the unit rule, the vote would continue to be cast for Clark. Edson declared he did not intend longer to be voted without at least going on record as to where he stood.
 When his name was reached in the New York delegation, John B. Stanch- | field was given unanimous consent to explain his vote.

 New York has a right to be heard in this convention" Stanchheld shout ed. T would like to say to Col Bryan that in 1896 l was one of those who followed his flag, and four years later 1 ran on the ticket with Col Bryan, and he received 100000 more votes that year than he received before or since We have upon the New York delegation the governor of the great state of New York, the candidate for president in 1904, and it is by com mon consent the most representative delegation that ever came from the state of New York. There would be no need for defense were it not for the imputations against them on the floor. Now, if we are the puppets of wax that the favor-hunting, money grabbing, publicity-seeking marplot from Nebraska"
