since tho h,g show began here the Clark

purposes. IT, fact two organizations are
sssla,cd with tho Clark candidacy
Former Senators Fred 7. Dubois of Idaho
and Frank reiiigrcw of South Dakota are

Sneaker Clark himself believes that the
,scl of cohesive effort by the leaders in
his camp has seriously damaged his candi-
dscv. Ilc j. loath to interfere. as h" docs
no, want to give any public sign that he is
dissatisfied with his lieutcnants

on the floor Of the House and on the Chau-

soul when Bryan in his speech before tho

Clark candidacy because Of the support
II has received from New York.
Following the attack on Bryan issued

forces
Hearst also issued atement tonight
He declared that Clark would stick 10 the
end and that he had enough votes pledged
10 his candidacy to prolong the deadlock
indefinitely.
from the Clark headquarters there
came reports that as things now stand it
/. impossible to break the deadlock.
There were sugges, ions that a nomina-
ton at this time cannot possibly be made.
and that it will be necessary for the con-
veniionto take recess for at least thirty
day, The Clark people heard that Bryan
had proposed an adjournment. and they
made it plain that they would he glad to
fall in with the plan.
With the loss of ninety-threc votes in
the convention yesterday and the grow
lns unpopularity of the houn' dawg song
the supporters of the Speaker would hail
recess with delight. They feel in their
bones that If the convention sticks to the
Job in Baltimore the Missourian will lose.
The first statement issued at Clark head
quarters, to-day was signed by Dubois.

Mr. Bryans remarkable statement in
fe,ard to the New York vote demands an
answer His statement that Clark's man
ayers sought to advance his interests by
manipulations with the reactionares l.
simply untrue. The statement was de-
signedlv made TO mislead.
Mr. Bryan knows that Illinois. Massa'
chusetts and Maryland. for instance. while
Instructed for clark. could not have beer
controlled against Parker. He knows that
,alifornia Nevada ana Wyoming. fol
Instance. while instructed for CLARK. coulc
no, have been controlled against Bryar
for temporary chairman. Clark = mana gers
,oIld not control their delegates either
for Bryan or for Parker. In consequence
'ney did not try to do SO. 1t is malicious
N Mr. Bryan to undertake TO blame Ciarl
because he could not or did not control hi'
followers to vote for Bryan for temporar,
