would be little chance of prevent

handed that 1t be polled on the
forty-third ballot and this was
done. The delegation stood 5 1-2
for Wilson to for Clark. with
/ 1-2 absent. The Wilson men
forced the poll.
After the forty-third ballot
some of the ultra Clark leaders
said that while they would con-
cede Wilson about $40 votes, that
would be the limit Of his vote and
that he could not be nominated.
On the 44th ballot Colorado
gave Wilson ten votes as against
one heretofore cast for him.
Indiana came solidly into the
Wilson camp on this ballot, a
gain of two for Wilson.
In Iowa Wilson gained three
and half votes.
Pennsylvania recorded itself
solid for Wilson on the 44th bal
lot.
Utah a moment later came in
solid, following Pennsylvania &
example and gave its eight votes
to Wilson.
Wisconsin's chairman called Its

the Jerseyites held another jubi-
fation.

for the needed TALES.
While this was going on Clark
leaders followed the Wilson men
around endeavoring to straighten
each dent as soon as 1t was made.
On the 45th ballot New Mexi-
CO demanded a roll call. While
1t was being taken the Wilson
managers announced that Missis-
sippi had decided to come over
to Wilson on this ballot.

Vaniman was positive that he
had solved the problem of aerial
navigation. 1t Is believed by
many that he had equipped the
Akron with his new device and
that its operation may have caus-
ed the accident.
Vaniman talked In public, but
usually acted secretly when he
had experiments to make.
II am perfectly certain that
this invention combined with a
new woven steel wire fabric will
solve the problem of the air.

FIFTH REGIMENT ARMORY,
BALTIMORE, Ma, July 2.--The
positive claim, that as a result of
their morning canvassing, they
had pledged from delegates suffi-
cient to raise the Wilson vote in
excess of 600, was made by the
Wilson managers just before the
convention was called to order to-
day. Included in the states men
toned were Massachusetts and
Illinois.
The Wilson managers said the
action of the anti-Bryanites in en-
deavoring to effect coalition OF
the Clark and Underwood forces,
so that the latter might be nomi-
mated, had had the effect of swing
ing many heretofore non-commit-
tai delegates into the Wilson col
unn.

Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee
said:
"Wilson will, I believe. go over
the 600 mark today. / would ven
ture to predict that this will be
sufficient because nobody can tell
what will happen even If Wilson

The Missouri delegation from
their seats in the first row began
a chant of Ryan and Bryan -

didate." al
Tom Hef1in, congressman
from Alabama and manager, OF
the underwood boom, advised the
Alabama delegates to vote for
Wilson.
John Bankhead, chairman of
the Alabama delegation, bitterly
denounced Heflin.

Tom" said Bankhead with a
scowl.
II am just trying to save your
forces" said Helm.
Strange things have transpired
