MissourianS Say Champ Clark
Has Been "SoId Out" by
the Bosses,

Several Missouri and Ohio delegates and
alternates to the Baltimore convention ar
rived IN this city yesterday expressing dis
gust with the way things were being run
by the Murphy Hearst-Parker alliance. II
so sickened them, they said. that they had
left the bosses 10 manage affairs as best

by the bosses. who were secretly plotting to
nominate Governor Harmon. But II the

CATION, boldly charged that Clark had been
sold out by some of the Western bosses

"Bryan hit the nail on the head said
Mr.. Barton "and his action in denouncing
Murphy and the other bosses Will be In
dorsed by the entire Middle West and Ivy

But Bryan was mistaken in his attack
on Speaker Clark. They won't condemn
him for that, though, out West, for Mis-
souri, and the rest OF the West is sore over
the Hearst Murphy deal by which Parker
was elected temporary chairman.
"The bosses and the delegates are Sc

Mr.. Barton, but any Missouri delegate
who fops to Harmon had better remain

the day seeing the city. Some even
went to Washington. They had been

didn't take the tip seriously, and they
were right.

tom" Taggart declared that Indiana
was for Marshall and would continue so
for the present. Ex-Governor Francis
Of Missouri argued that Clark was by
far the most available candidate, that he
had shown more strength than any other
before the convention. and that 1t would
be the acme Of absurdity to ask his
friends to withdraw him now. Gum
shoe Bill Stone talked along similar
lines.
Harmon Manager Non. commttal.
T. II. Moore, the manager for Gov
ernor Harmon, would not commit him
self nor the Ohio delegates for any other
candidate than Governor Harmon. While
the twenty-nine Harmon men in the
Ohio delegation switched to Clark for
several ballots on Saturday night, they
returned TO their own candidate on the
last ballot Of the evening. The longer
the deadlock continues and the more an
tagonism TO Bryan is developed the bet

coming back" according to their con-
tention.
Early in the afternoon Tom Taggart
declared that he had not been invited to
the conference. and seemed rather put

!CLARK MEN SEND PROTEST
Missouri Democrats Aghast at
Refusal to Name Him.

st. Louis. June 30-Leading Democrats OF
Audrian County to-day signed this tele-
gram 10 the Democratic National Conven-
ton:
Missouri Democrats stand aghast at the
refusal Of the convention to ratify the
choice of large majority. thereby break
ing a precedent Of seventy years.
IL by adherence to rule, the purpose OF
which has long since ceased, the conven-
tion will not adhere to that precedent, re-
fer the question back TO the voters, who.
acting in the spirit of real progression. will
nominate Champ Clark, already the nom
inee of the majority.
That convention can commit no greater
act of reaction than TO refuse TO carry
out the will OF the majority, thereby en-
dangering success In November. Not to do
so is a fraud upon the rights OF voters,
comparable to the fraud of 1876 in depriving
Tilden Of the Presidency, to which he was
elected by the people.

In the afternoon Senator Luke Lea
of Tennessee, and other leaders dropped
in to see Mr. Mack to find out what
progress was being made in solving the
problem.
William G. McAdoo, Of the New YORK
delegation, has been most active In the
interests of Wilson. AS already told In
these dispatches. there are nineteen men
for Wilson in the delegation. Mr.. NC
Adoo argued with the others to-day
declaring that Wilson was the only man
who could be nominated that New YORK
would have to come into line eventually
and they might as well get the credit
for assisting in the nomination or VIII
son while there was still a chance.
May Ask open Poll Of Delegation.
Although he is still considering ask
ing for an open poll of the New YORK
delegation by the secretary OF the con-
yention, as was announced in The Trib-
une this morning, Mr.. McAdoo was not
prepared tonight TO say he would do
il. OF course his idea is to show now
little strength Clark actually has among
the New York men. However, on an
enough men to vote for Clark. no matter
what their private opinions may be, to
carry the delegation for the Speaker
under the unit rule.
One Of the delegates, replying to the
arguments of Mr.. McAdoo, said:
Bryan has made 1t impossible for US
10 90 to Wilson. for II We should vote
for him now we would be accused OF fol-
lowing the Bryan lead. And. anyway.
Bryan has declared that when we vote
for Wilson he will take his support
away from the New Jersey Governor
so what's the use?'
This man suggested that maybe Bryan
had shrewdly swung to Wilson 80 as
