 BALTIMORE
Democratic National Committee Has But Forty Contests to
 Hear Which Will be
 Quickly Decided

Baltimore. June 19.-Judge Alton B. Parker, presidential candidate, a few years ago, seems a likely candi- date for temporary chairman of the Democratic national convention. The selection will be made, tomorrow, by the subcommittee on arrangements. 1t is believed Parker has the support of Boss Murphy of Tammany and Roger Sullivan, committeeman or Illinois. New York and Illinois have 164 votes in the convention, a decid- edly formidable balance of power"
 In striking contrast to the long drawn out row before the, Republican national committee in Chicago, will be the contests to be heard here. Sec retary Urey Woodson, of the Demo- cratic national committee, today, said that there were only some 40 con- tests and they are expected to be easily decided.
 It now is said that party leaders are planning to strengthen the na- tional ticket by urging some one of the candidates who may be defeated to accept second place. Clark and Gaynor or Wilson. Wilson and Clark or Harmon, Harmon and Wilson or Underwood were combinations under discussion.
 Champ Clark's camp, today, was established in the Marion Hotel and Wilson headquarters were opened by William F.. McCoombs. J. ("Ham' ) Leets, Chicago, Senator Bankhead of Alabama, who will nominate Under wood, Perry Belmont of New York, and Representative A. Mitchell Pal mer. of Pennsylvania, were among the days arrivals.
