DELEGATION
FOR WILSON
Twenty-four from Minnesota
Are Instructed for New
Jersey Goveror.

Duluth, June 6.-Minnesota demo-
Gratis at the state convention today
voted to send a full delegation of "a
delegates to the Baltimore convention
with Instructions to vote for Woodrow
Wilson. 1t was agreed. however
whenever in the opinion of two-thirds
of the delegation Wilson's nomination
is impossible. the votes may be thrown
to another candidate.
Victory came for the Wilson forces
only after the followers of Champ
tempt to either have the delegates in
structed for Bryan or not instructed at
all. AS a result of the attempt to
stampede the convention for Bryan.
the hall was in an uproar for more
than an hour. During all that time,
however. the name of Clark was not
mentioned even by those who contend
ed for an uninstructed delegation.
Several delegates WHO are said to
favor Clark are on the list but as
they are under instructions to vote for
negative. Clark's manager. w. w.
Williams, said after the convention he
would carry his fight to the national
convention in Baltimore. 1t became
evident early in the convention that
Clark was hopelessly in the minority
AT the outset of the gathering, John
w. Freeman. a Wilson man. was
named temporary chairman without
opposition. NJ. c. Tiff Of Minneapolis
was made permanent chairman in the
same manner. Clark followers previ-
ously had announced they would
make a fight for both places. They
also had hoped to obtain one or two
delegates at large. but after six Will
son men had been nominated. Daniel
Lawler of St. Paul. who had been
prominently identified with Clark's
campaign. asked that the chairman be
instructed to cast the unanimous ball
lot of the convention for the six.
With the tide turned against them.
the opponents of Wilson made a final
effort to send delegation to Balti-
more instructed for Bryan or unin-
structed. Several laudatory speeches
We're made in favor of the Nehra ska n
and his name was loudly cheered but
it was carried no further.
