SO beaten and mashed down that the

BRYAN ATTEMPTS
TO STAMPEDE THE
CONVENT|O n

Associated Press.
Baltimore, 200 p.m.-Mr. Bryan
rose in the chair in the Nebraska
delegation as the 18th poll of the
states was ordered. He asked to ex-
plain his vote. Acting Chairman
Sultzer ruled that nothing was in
order but the actual vote, however,
Mr.. Bryan persisted in explaining,
amid shouts of ''Vote, Vote"
Bryan said: ''As long as New
Yorks vote is cast for Clark, I will
withhold my vote from him." The
convention was in an uproar. Sem

sent to hear Bryan speak was car
ried. He then proceeded to the plat
form, amid cheers and shouts OF de-
rision.
He spoke deliberately from a pre-
pared statement, amid impressive ST.
lence.
'.In this convention" he said, '.the
progressive sentiment Is oyer-whel-
ming, the resolution adopted against
any candidate subservient to Morgan,
RYAN and Belmont shows the desires
of this convention; the vote of New
man, Charles F. Murphy, and he rep
resented the same interests that
sought to dominate the Chicago con-
yention."
He and his associates of Nebraska,
he said, were unwilling to accept the
name of any man who was to receive
the benefit of MurphXs leadership.
Governor McCorkle, of West Nir-
ginia, interrupted to ask if the nomi
nation of the Democratic candidate
was made with the vote of New York,
"Will you then support the candi-
date"
In answering, Mr.. Bryan said that
it was a different thing to oppose
a man in the convention and after
the convention, and that nothing
would justify the supposition that he
would not support the nominee.
Would you support Clark, Will
son, Harmon, Underwood, Marshall,
Kern or Foss, if one of them receiv-
ed a two-thirds vote of this conven-
tion, including the vote of New
York. asked Mr.. Brewer of Mississ-
ippi.

shouting his protests against con-
tinuance of Bryan's speech.

shouted from the platform, as Knox
shook his fist and continued to pro-
test, while pandemonium reigned on
the floor and in the galleries.

Associated Press.

Baltimore, 8 80 amt is report
ed that after the tenth ballot that
Underwood is the next candidate who
will be given the New York vote,
once Clark is abandoned. Wilson S
friends maintained that eventually
the tide of votes would turn in his
favor. The Wilson forces have held
together well all during the ballot
ing. There still existed the chance
that a dark horse might break the
deadlock. 1t appeared certain that
any agreement between the Clark
and Wilson managers is out of the
question. Very little thought has
been given to the vice presidency.
This nomination and the adoption of
the platform is expected to consume
very little time.
Wearied with the second all-night
struggle the delegates were late to-
day in making a reappearance and
it was well toward noon before con-
sultations, conferences and caucuses
were in full swing. Chairman James
was sanguine that a decisive ballot
would be reached today and the con-
vention concluded tonight.
Already the exodus has begun and
placards at every hand announced
that special trains were carrying
away large parties from Baltimore.
1t was the general feeling that if
Clark wins, he must win quickly. A
continued deadlock was the one
thing that might destroy the COM
manding lead he had gained.
The problem before the Clark forces
was TO hold his present strength in
tact and to add 17612 votes to his
$40 as shown on the 18th ballot, in
order to give him the necessary two
thirds ma aiority.

Business deals may go wrong and
