Fourth Ballot,

Baltimore, Md, June 2@.-The bal
lot of the early morning was taken
today as the starting point for all
speculation about the Democratic
convention as to who would be its
candidate for President AL eyes were
centered on New York. Illinois and
Indiana. The feeling was genera
that the nominee of the convention is
assured of practically solid South
next November and all energies were
being bent to add to this conceded
southern strength the additional
strength of the pivotal northern
states, notably Illinois and Indiana,
which would combine enough elec,
toral votes from the North and the
South to secure victory
Bosses in Consultation.
Messrs, Murphy, Sr'livan and Tom
Taggart. the three leaders of these
northern states, have been in con
slant consultation and have been
working in harmony as the lines have
been formed. They planned TO go
over the situation before the ballot.
ing resumed this afternoon. The
New York delegation has an element
OF aNout one-third of its strength fa-
yorable to Wilson. But the predom-
mating element, Of about 60 votes, is
for any one who has reasonable as
surance of carrying New York.
With the Compliments of Tammany.
Thus far the New York delegation
has reached this stage: At the eau
Gus yesterday the delegates agreed on
complimentary vote for Harmon
they may follow this with a compli.
mentary vote for Gaynor, and they
probably will continle these compi-
mentary votes until they can see
more definitely their way to make the
large vote Of the Empire State most
effective. A Tammany caucus was
called for o'clock today, and the
Harmon leaders were to go into con,
ference about the same time
Ollie James Doesn't Mind It.
Chairman Ollie James reiterated his
view that there would be no deadlock
when the convention opens at 4
o'c'ock, and that the standard bearer
would be chosen without another all
night session. The chairman was lit.

GUS duties Of the night. His voice
was holding out and his sturdy ply
slque was serving him well in his eff
forts to keep the convention moving
steadily forward amid the storms of
popular demonstration. He felt, how
ever that most of the pent up energy
Of the shouters has found expression
and from now on the convention
would keep steadily at business, with
the prospect of a succession of bal
lots until a decision was reached 1t
was not expected that the platform
would be reached until late this even
ing and possibly not until tomorrow,
although the draft vii be ready for
presentation well before that time.
Trying to Pull Two Ways at Once.
There are number of conflicting
influences operating on the conven-
tion One is the desire to nominate
a candidate whose appeal to the peo-
pie will be sufficiently strong. The
other is to name a man who can make
an appeal to the South and to New
York, which are regarded as two sec
tions most conservative.
Yoke-FelIows.
While Murphy, Sullivan. and Tag
CART are yoke-fellows for the time be.
ing, it is felt that they are likely to
come to a parting of the wavs very
soon. 1t is not improbably, according
to the speaking going on early in the
day, that New York will turn to Clark,
while Illinois and Indiana contingents
are more likely to turn to Wilson.
There is nothing definite on these
moves, but these were the tendencies
along the lines as the day progressed.
The Lady or the Tiser?.
Mr.. Bryan, as an ultimate candidate,
is bat little discussed although some
continue to regard him as a possibil.
