am unable to say what the delegates
will decide if the dead lock continues
beyond today. Mr.. Bryan's attack
upon the state of New York will have
no effect. Our delegates will vote as
the majority directs without reference
to Mr.. Bryan's position or wishes.
Many leaders thought there was lit
tie likelihood of a nomination during
the day. They were of the opinion that
the controversy between Mr.. Clark ana
Mr.. Bryan had stirred up SUCH strife
between their respective followers that
neither side would yield far enough to
make any material difference.
Friends of Mr.. Underwood went into
the convention more confident than ever
that the Alabama congressman Will be
The ultimate choice. They admitted
turn toward their man as compro-
mise candidate, large portion of the
support of either Clark or Wilson be-
ing necessary to give him the necessary
two-thirds though he received all the
scattering votes.
Not much time was expected to be oc-
cupied in the selection of vice presi-
dent and in the adoption of a plat
form once the big fight was settled.
The delegates appeared to be weary OF
the long siege and anxious to get back
to their homes. Leaders thought it not
plished the end of the deadlock would
be the final one of the convention.
Speaker Clark's friends were of the
opinion that he would not come TO
Baltimore again. After conferences
with him here and in Washington late
Saturda-- night and on Sunday, they
know exactly how he feels in regard to
Mr. Bryan's attack. Indications were,
when the convention re-assemHied that
one of them would seek the opportunity
to state his position before the body.
There was no denying that Mr.. Bryan
has stirred up a hornets nest and it
was question how long it would take
to draw the stings. Clark's followers
charge that Mr.. Bryan was responsible
for the conventions Withholding the
nomination from the speaker that had
given him a majority vote aid they de-
| clared their unalterable opposition tn
any one he supports. And to their
cause they have won, it was said, many
enemies of Mr.. Bryan who under other
circumstances would be for the man he
champions.

SIXTH DAY OPENS.
No Apparent signs of an Early
Nomination.


Baltimore, July 1.-When the
Democratic national convention began
it's sixth days session today there was
no prospect of an Immediate break of
the deadlock over the presidential
nomination.
The twenty seventh ballot was ex-
pected to show whether Speaker Clark
had won back any of the delegates
who had deserted his ranks by his
statements denying Mr.. Bryan's i'm
dplied accusations that the vote of the
New York delegation placed him un-
der obligation to the moneyed inter
eStS.
Governor Wilson's chances of win
ming the nomination were believed to
depend on his ability to continue the
steady accretion his vote has shown
since the Nebraska leader announced
his support.
New York will continue to support
the speaker during the balloting today,

IN the crook Of your right elbow and
clasp it tightly. not in your hand, but
