ALI EFFORTS ID PLACATE BRYAN PROVE FUTILE

some of the disaffected republicans 1n- terested in a third party movement.
 Up to this time, however the ar irving delegates have given compara- lively little thought to the presidency. The sharp contest between MT Bryan and the majority of the national com mittee over the selection of Judge Par ker as temporary chairman, has over shadowed everything else.
 "Houn' Daws" Song in Evidence.
 The men in charge of the various candidates are doing all in their power, however, to create noise and enthusl- asm for their principals. In contrast to the methods of the Chicago conYen- tion the statements put out merely ex- tol the respective candidates without casting aspersions on the others. The principal campaigning is in the way of distributing copies of the "Houn' Dawg Song" hat bands stamped with their candidates names banners, post CTS and all manner of contrivances. Song clubs have been imported to sing of the famous Ozark Hound the Battle Cry of the Clark forces-while others are rendering selections more or less meritorious, extolling the vlr- tues of Wilson, Bryan and other can didates. There are plenty of bands and marching clubs in town, too, and in many of it's aspects and spectacular features the convention resembles some of the old time political gather ings Good nature Is everywhere ap- parent.
 Several Gaynor Clubs.
 The strength of any of the secondary candidates could develop in the con- vention, in the event of deadlock on the first and succeeding pallets, could not be estimated tonight, Governor Marshall will receive the thirty votes of Indiana on the first ballot, but no other immediate strength is visible for him. Mayor Gaynors boom at present is wrapped up in the activity of sev- eral "Gaynor clubs" which have open ed headquarters, but it depends upon New York's attitude on the temporary chairmanship and the outcome of the fight to be made on the floor tomorrow, whether New York's ninety votes will go to Gaynor Dix or some other New York favorite, or will be thrown into the support of one of the recognized candidates now contesting the nomin- ation.
 Indiana Solid For Marshall.
 The Indiana delegation at it's meeting last night renewed allegiance to Gov ernor Marshall. Senator Shively will present his name to the convention Thursday and it will probably be sec onded from within the delegation. The Marshall for President club" reached Baltimore this afternoon, equipped with a band Attached to the hats of the 200 or more marchers were paper roosters. For a time Governor Marshalps candidacy held the undivid- ad otf foV3 0f GG street and in the hotel Hobbies.
 Gaynor Clubs Enthuse.
 The New York Gaynor clubs and the Italian Gaynor Club of New York ar rived with big delegations today and were met by the Maryland Gaynor club. The combination has head quarters, bands and parades, to boost the candidacy of the New York mayor notwithstanding the fact that there Is yet no certainty thGt his name will be presented.
 Burke Typical Dark Horse. Governor Burke of North Dakota who is to receive ten votes from that state on the first ballot, has thus far figured but little in the convention ac- tivities. He is more nearly the ty- pical dark horse" than the other can didates in the second line" whose friends are sparing no device of ad- vertising to emblazen their virtues tC 1 the world.
