LITTLE CHANGE
ANTICIPATED ON

WILSON MEN CONFIDENT
Underwood Leaders Expect a Raj
ly to His Standard
Soon

Baltimore, Md, June 30--Hope OF
a nomination on the twenty-seventh
ballot of a president was practically
abandoned by the Democratic leaders
tonight. When the national con-
vention adjourned for Sunday 1t
was believed that some solution OF
the long deadlock would result from
conferences, between the champions
of three leading candidates, but 1t
developed that the time had not ar
rived for the withdraal of either
Speaker Clark, Gov. Wilson or Rep
resentative Underwood. 1t was not
expected that the first ballot tomor-
row would materially differ from the
twenty-sixth.
Campaign managers possibly
might have reached some agreement
of interest if the deadlock had not
been drafted by the personal contro-
versey between William Jennings
Bryan and Speaker Clark. The
visit of Mr.. Clark to Baltimore and
his arrival too late to attempt vindt-
cation of himself before the conven-
tion, over-shaddowed everything
else in Sunday gossip.
Party leaders generally took the
position, Notwithstanding the Mis-
sourian's impassioned denial of Mr..
Bryan's intimation that he was be-
holding to Murphy and Ryan, that
he would be unable to regain the vote
he had lost AT the same time many
of them thought that sympathy for

Application Plain,

although Mr.. Bryan's words are
shrewdly chosen to avoid making q
direct charge on me. the application
is plain. 1t would be unbecomiEg
to one holding my present official
position to express the indignation
which | feel at these yelled attacks
upon my character.
The reasons advanced by Mr..
Bryan, departing from the time-hon-
ored custom of our party in recog-
nizing the voice of the majority, are
not reasons at all, but the shallow
est of pretcxt, put forward to achieve
some purpose, which ! shall not at

Clark pledged himself to do SO,
but said had it not been for the fact
that a. majority vote had been cast
for him on the successive ballots, he
would not encourage any movement
that might tend to create deadlock.
Speaker Clark's letter to Senator
stone in part, is as follows;
''It is undoubtedly true that the
custom of our party was violated
when the convention rcfrained from
ratifying by a two-thirds vote the
wish of majority. This was done
according to my understanding, at
the instigation of Bryan, who sue
cessfully solicited the cooperation

The District Bankers Association will

POISON SQUAD WILL
MAKE TEST OF GRAIN
To Feed "Bleached" Oats and
So-Called Damaged Corn to
Horses and Other Stock.

A poison squad among the horses and
other live stock at the Government ex-
pertinent farms at Bethesda, Nd.
was formed today and to the animals
selected ior the test experts of the
Dcpartricnt OF Agriculture began the
feeding ol "bleached' oats and the So
called damaged corn. On the results
of this experiment will depend the Gov,
ernments decision in a big So, zoo, ,OoO
controversy that has been agitating the
corn and grain trade OF :he middle
Western States.
The Bureau Of Chemistry ruled that
bleached. or sulphured, oats were dele
terious, and under the pure food law
persons who shipped them in Interstate
commerce were liable to prosecution.
The same ruling was made on damage
corn. Growers contended that both OF
these articles ere useful in feeding to
stock and the department suspended
its ruling so as not to apply to last
years crop. .,-.
It. will now be determined to what
extent the ruling will be applied to the
crop of the present year.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-The body OF
Counters Rosa Menschik Szabo. who
was drowned on July II, last, while
boating at Greenwood lake in COM
pany with Burton w. Gibson, her
counsel, will be exhumed and an au-
topsy performed in an effort to deter
mine the exact cause of death.
This announcement was made today
by Deputy Sheriff Degraw, of Orange
county.
1T is certain" said the deputy sher-
III. that within a day or so the au-
thorities of Orange county will have the
body of Countess Szabo disinterred
When she died no autopsy was per-
formed, because 1t appeared to be a
simple case of drowning, and a medical
examination seemed useless" ....
Tells of Witnesses. )
Degraw, who was placed in charge Of
the investigation by District Attorney
Rogers. of Orange county. has three
witnesses Of the actual drowning, who
will swear that 1t appeared somewhat
strange.
When asked regarding them, the
deputy sheriff said: a..
Two Of these are women-a Mrs.
Brooks, who owned 'houseboat on the
lake at the time; her niece, who was
living on the houseboat with her-and a
man named James Finigan. who lives
on Greenwood lake. and was out in
a rowboat at the time. The Brookses
are now in their home in Paterson.

soon after the supposed accident hap
pened. and talked with the lawyer. 1

The Austrian consul will bring from
their native land a brother and sister
Of Countess Szabo, who will face Law
yer Gibson and swear that the mother
of the countess was dead and the
countess knew such to be the fact at
the time she is supposed to have signed
a will. of which Gibson is the executor.
This will left all to her mother, but,
when Gibson presented It for probate
he produced a waiver of citation pur.
porting to have been signed by her
mother, which, the consul declares Is
an impossibility, as he can prove the
mother died two years before the will
was made. Gibson asserts that the
mother Is still alive.
