Baltimore, June 26.-With nomina-
items due to be made tomorrow the
situation in the democratic convention
with regard to a presidential candi-
date was as com pick tonight as during
any period previously.
There was talk of a subsidence OF
the Champ Clark wave which reached
its crest last night but the speakers
campaign managers were not willing
to admit that there had been any
wavering in their forces.
At the same time they went to the
convention hall with the expressed
purpose of forcing the issue at the
earliest possible opportunity.
The opposing forces hearing OF TINS
plan prepared to block ii. They did
not wish the nominations TO be made
until tomorrow. hoping the situation
might clear little by that time.
The adherents of Woodrow Wilson
claimed tonight that their candidate
had made distinct gains during the
day. They asserted. without giving
details, that some of the Clark senti-
ment was turning toward the New
Jersey governor and were in a more
hopeful mood than at any time during
the convention period.
Dark horses were being discussed
everywhere by the leaders and dele
gates tonight, but there appeared q"
be some difficulty in crystallizing SEN
tlment as to which one OF the dark
horses was darkest
Senator Kern. Of Indiana, MT.
Bryan's choice for temporary chair
man of the convention, still appeareo
TO hold the lead among the DARK
horses. The coalition of the Bryan and
Wilson forces in the first fight OF the
convention. however, led to talk of the
Bryan strength ultimately going To
Wilson.
The one outstanding fact in the SIT
uation seemed to be the absolute I'M
Possibility Of any candidate having
sufficient number of votes on the first
ballot to nominate. The two-thirds .
thirds rule prevailing in democratic
conventions always makes the pick
ing of candidate in advance a dill
cult problem.
After the first ballot Is taken IL re-
mains to be seen how well the Clark
managers can hold their vote together.
Some Of the delegates predicted TO-
night that the voting would r8n
a large number OF ballots
while others predicted a quick seiec-
tion.

in position to dictate the nominee.
Mr.. Bryan today declined to accept
the chairmanship of the platform
committee. but his close friend, Sena-
tor Kern, was chosen in his place. To-
night Mr.. Bryan. reported the plat
form as coming along nicely
1t was said the platform would be
ready for the convention by the time
the nomination for president had been
made.
At Mr.. Bryan-s suggestion II had
been determined not to present
platform until after the candidate had
been named
In Mr.. Bryan's behalf 1t was said
tonight that the fight on Judge Park
or for the temporary chairmanship
was Influenced largely by a desire TO
get a line on the different delegations.
The Nebraskan had not had an op-
portunity TO make a poll and Il WIS
the chairmanship fight which was his
only means OF learning at the outset
lust what was to be met and dealt
with.
IL was generally reported about the
convention hall tonight that a number
of the western Clark deleeations VINO
cast their votes for Judge Parker
were beginning to hear from nome
on account Of alleged desertion OF nc
cause

There We're two sessions Of the
convention today. The one beginning
at noon was devoted almost entirely
to oratory. Tonight the convention at
a session beginning at 5 p. M, began
consideration of committeeships and
the work of completing permanent
organization.
In all of the party councils today
harmony was urged upon the various
factions. In further effort to placate
the Bryan interests there was practical

OCCUPY
CONVENTIONS TIME

flood of oratory buried the dele
gates to the democratic national con-
vention under rhetorical waves today.
The convention marked time through
the entire day session because the
committee on credentials had not
prepared its report. Half a dozen
speakers delivered typical campaign
speeches.
The convention adjourned to meet
at o'clock tonight to take up the
problem of permanent organization,
receive reports of the credentials
committee and possibly begin the
nominating speeches Of presidential
candidates. II had agreed at the re-
quest of Mr.. Bryan to defer the draw
ing Of platform until after the
nominations.
Senator ollie James, OF Kentucky.
had been agreed upon for permanent
chairman Of the convention and It
was expected that at tonight's scs-
sion there would be no friction in the
permanent organization.
At 11:45 "a. IN. the convention hall
was filling rapidly. the band playing.
and the galleries flutter OF anima-
tion.
Judge Parker mounted the plat
form at 1906 p. m. amid scattering
hand claps.

continued delays: all delegations In

Oyster Bay. N. Y, June 26.--The
issue upon which Colonel Roosevelt
Is to make his campaign for the
presidency was indicated by him to-
day. He purposes to base his appeal
upon the assertion that what he has
termed the big sinister influences"
have determined to eliminate him
from public lie because he is Nhe
man whom they really fear.
To accomplish this purpose. he be-
lieves they are willing to take up any
man whom they think can win 'he
presidency over him. Having defeat
ed him at the Chicago convention, he
says, they hope 10 control the demo-
cratic convention to this same end.
"'rhey know me and ! know them"
he said. ut Is anything to beat me.

mark after long conference ". \

case my reply Is just what ! said In

The comptroller said the reason he
was anxious TO make clear that Col

was that 1.-The interests" which de-
feated him at Chicago would do any
Thing In their power TO keep him out
pf the white House. and for that
purpose would gladly accept any 9TH
