BRYAN DEFEATED;
PARKER ELECTED
Continued from Png. one.

Judge Parker and Mr.. Bryan in Chair
man Mack's room in the Belvedere at 2
O'Clock.
Deliberate Two HOurs.
Then a free and full discussion was
engaged in by both Judge Parker and
Mr.. Bryan, and after nearly two hours
Of deliberation. the conference adjourned
without accomplishing its purpose
Mr.. Bryan was unyielding While HIS
greeting to Judge Parker was cordial,
and the New Yorker was equally as cor
dial the Nebraskan insisted that the diff
ferences between himself and Judge Par
ker were irreconcilable. He charges
Judge Parker with being the representa-
tive Of the reactionary element. He
repeated this accusation IN q statement
he gave TO the press tonight after he
knew what action had been taken by the
National Committee.
Judge Parker remained in Chairman
Macks room for more than an hour after
Mr.. Bryan had departed. When he
emerged he said:
Mr.. Bryan and myself had a beauti-
full visit. We greeted each other cor
diaHy, because our relations always
have been, are now. and I hope always
will be, cordial"
sMr. Bryan asserts that there are
and me. I attempted to convince him
that there were no such differences on
the essentials. However. he gave me TO
understand that I had failed to con-
vince him, and so we parted as
friends"
VIII Continue Fight.
Mr.. Bryan would add nothing to the
general statement he gave out to the
press. He told The Washington Her
aid correspondent that he would carry
the contest to the floor OF the conven-
tion. and that he felt confident OF VIC
tory there. He would not, however,
venture any estimate of the vote by
which he expected to defeat the Ma
tional Committees choice OF a tenn
porary chairman. Nor would he give
the name OF the candidate whom he
will nominate. He said that three or
four names were being considered by
himself and his friends, among those
being James and OGorman, and this
question may not be settled finally un-
til just before the convention is called
to order.
He will lead the night in person. II
is now the programme of his followers
for Mr.. Bryan to propose the name OF
his candidate Immediately after Chair
man Mack submits the name Of Judge
Parker for the National Committee.
Analysis of Vote.
An analysis OF the vote by States in
the National Committee shows that
Clark and Wilson supporters are inter
mingled in the opposition to Judge
Parker For example, Missourrs Ma
tional Committeeman for the reason
stated, voted against the New Yorker.
while Massachusetts, also a Clark State,
n9FNz IL
ginia, another Clark State, likewise
voted for Senator OGorman. Texas. a
Wilson State, voted for Judge Parker,
while the Arkansas national committee
man. whose delegation is instructed for
Clark. cast his vote for Judge Parker.
But Kansas, a Clark State, voted for
James. Louisiana. strongly claimed by
the Wilson people. voted for James,
who was put forward in the contest be-
fore the committee on arrangements, as
the Clark choice for temporary chair
man. In that contest Committeeman
Ewing, Wilson man, gave his vote TO
Representative Henry Of Texas for
temporary chairman. Pennsylvania, the .
great bulk OF whose big delegation is
claimed for Wilson. gave its vote to
Judge Parker.
Convene mt Noon.
The convention will be called to order
at noon tomorrow by Norman E Mack. |
chairman OF the National Democratic
Committee, in the Fifth Regiment Ar
mory. which has been magnifcently ar
ranged by the Baltimore reception COM
mittee. The opening prayer will be offer .
ed by His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons. !
The seating capacity OF the hall is Is, 900. !
and every seat is sure to be filed long
before the fall Of the Chalrman's gavel /
Tonight tickets are in demand every !
where, and those who have been fortu- |
nate enough to get them are guarding /
them under lock and key.
The two hotels where most Of the dele |
gates are housed are so thickly popu-
lated tonight that people are admitted .
only in single file. People are banked |
ten deep before the elevators, and it .
is often necessary to wait fifteen minutes !
before getting admission to one OF the .
cars.
This throng. together with bands. boom
ers, and marching clubs. will be on its
way to the Armory at ten in the morn
Ing. giving Baltimoreans a spectacle such
as they never before witnessed.
