Baltimore.-The deadlock in the
Democratic national convention over
a presidential nominee seemed more
complete than ever when adjournment
was taken Monday night, until noon
Tuesday. Woodrow Wilson had made
steady gains during Mondays ballot
ing until he reached a high water
mark of sol 1-2 votes on the thirty
ninth ballot. He remained stationary
on the fortieth ballot and then began
to lose ground. The last ballot was
the forty-second, when Governor Will
son polled 494 votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reacher the
lowest ebb of his candidacy on the
ballot where Wilson reached a crest
BY the time the fortieth ballot had
been concluded there was seemingly
no hope of a nomination. The dele
gates sat in a sort of stupor. The roll
call clerks entered the vote mechani'
cally often without waiting for the
responses from the various states. AT
the end >of the fortieth ballot tired
Alabma delegate move to adjourn but
when a roll call on the motion was de-
manded by the Wilson forces he with
drew 1t.
Another attempt was made to ad
journ after the forty-frst ballot and
again it failed. The convention ad
journed after the forty-second ballot
