 BALTIMORE, Md, July 2.-Gover-1 nor Thomas Woodrow Wilson. of New Jersey, was nominated for president of the United States by the Democrat ic national convention at it's afternoon session today when, on it's 46th ballot he received 990 votes to S4 for Clark. The Missouri delegation, which had remained faithful to the end, then moved the nomination be made unani- nous. There was a chorus of approv- al and the long fight was ended. Only four ballots were necessary today to reach the nomination.
 Seemed Hopeless.
 When the convention adjourned last night it seemed it was in hope less deadlock. Wilson had begun to lose ground the last few ballots and Clark showed gains. This encouraged the speaker to run over to Baltimore from Washington in hope of still further turning the tide and rallying his forces to final stand.

 The Wilson forces went into the hall at noon firm in the conviction their candidate would be nominated before adjournment As had been expected, the Illinois vote marked the beginning of the end. West Virginia joined hands with Illinois going over to Will son on the first ballot of the day, the forty-third. Wilson jumped from the final 494 of last night to 602 on this ballot. The figures told their own story.

Then came the | forty-fifth. This, in a way, was dis | appointing as Clark held his own and i Wilson gained but four. But there were few in the hall all the time who did not believe but Wilson would win, but they expected 1t would take a | long, long time, as the 725 1-2 votes necessary for nomination seemed far removed It was realized that there must be a break in the Underwood | forces before anyone could win.
 The forty-sixth ballot had just been ordered when Senator Bankhead, Ala bama Chairman, was seen making his way to the platform. Word flashed over the armory he was to release the Underwood delegates, and the del egates, wearied by the long session, seemed instinctively to realize this indeed was the climax There was
