Is q stan CorreSpon dent OF Inc 1rlUOAe
Baltimore. July 1-Stubbornly oppos-
ng the evident desire Of William ]. Bry-
HI to secure the nomination of Governor
Wilson. Charles Francis Murphy, Of
rammany Hall and New York State. con-
hnued to-day TO cast the ninety votes Of
that state for Champ Clark. 1t seemed
to give him particular delight whenever
New York was called on the various bal
lots to stand up with his head in the air
and hurl his defiance: Ninety votes for
Champ Clark" at the head of Ollie
James. the chairman. who is a Bryan
man.
Whenever Murphy went out to consult
with Roger Sullivan or leaders from
other states the task Of hurting the def
fell to the lot of John H. McCooey, the
Kings committeeman. who did il in a
Duch milder manner.
II Murphy had any intention Of desert
ing Clark at any time he did not impart
II to his delegates. They declared the
attacks made by Bryan on the New York
delegation made it absolutely necessary
that they should vote for Clark so long
date OF Bryan. Murphy, Of course, has
never wanted to see Wilson nominated
because of his friendship for ex-senator
James Smith, Of New Jersey, who was
turned down by the New Jersey Govern
or. Bryan's attitude, however, resulted
in making more stubborn Murphy's op-
position and gaining for him the SYM
patty Of many delegates who otherwise
would have been adverse TO going 10
Wilson.
Bryan has called us wax figures" said
sohn r. Mcintyre we are going TO
show him that we can stand up under
the heat Of his oratory."
New York Gets Its Chance.
New York had its chance to-day to
answer before the entire convention the
attacks of Bryan. 1t was brought about
IN this way; William G. McAdoo, one
Of the Wilson supporters in the delega-
ton. had expressed his desire to have
the delegation polfed by the secretary
Of the convention. He believed it would
show a much greater sentiment for the
New Jersey statesman than had been
indicated by the poll the other night.
Murphy saw that this would give an
opportunity for philippe against
Bryan. Judge Parker had advised him
4. he rnbr gfa
man, but August Belmont declared it
was personal matter with him and he
insisted that the Bryan attack should
not go unanswered. There were others
in the delegation who upheld Mr.. Bel
mont in his contention that Bryan
should not be allowed 10 get away
with it,"
The Murphy council decided that the
reply would come better from a man
voting for Wilson in the poll than from
u Clark man, who might be supposed 10
be entirely under the domination Of the
boss. So it was arranged.
On the twenty seventh ballot William
G. McAdoo formally challenged the New
York vote as announced and demanded
name was called he asked permission to
explain his vote. II was granted, and
he took the platform 10 roast the peer
less leader" to turn. His speech is
given elsewhere.
The result of the poll was as follows;
Clark. Ts Wilson, o. Underwood, .; not
voting, /.
Under the Unit rule the entire ninety
votes went 70 Clark, Of course. II was
explained b. Mr.. McAdoo later that
there were al least ten other Wilson
men in the delegation, but they pre-
TERED 10 vote with Murphy in his oppo-
sition 10 Bryan.

CGorman Abram Elkus Mr. McAdoo.

New York has beer loaded up with
more ammunition Tor Bryan Having de-
oidsd to make reply 70 the attcc" Of
Saturday, MURPHY ut the same tine de-
cided that anything further along the
same line that might be sprung before
the convention by Bryan should be an
swersd series ~ questions was pre-
pared which II was, intended to hurl at
the Nebraska statesman in case he dared
30 come back in reply TO Stanchheld' s.
speech. Il is said that some Of th-sr
questions wers calculated 70 be n'>;
embarrassing to Mr., Bryan.
Mr. Bryan did not shoot again at New
York, so its ammunition was allowed To
remain In the arsenal. The delegates
would not say what its nature was, but
there was an intimation that 1t mad ref
srence 10 some campaign contributions
made 10 Bryan's campaign funds in pre-
yIous years by the ''plutocrats' whom he
now attacks.
