by which this can be done. Unit
rules are enforced by State conven-
tons and there Is no document that
can be presented to the national con-
Vention TO show that 1t is the desire
OF New jersey Democrats that there
should be a unit rule.
Concerning Ohio it is different. The
leaders 'of the Buckeye delegation
nave q Certificate from the State con-
vention showing that 1t is the wish
OF Ohio Democracy hat the State
should cast its. ballot as a unit for
Governor Harmon. The convention
Will undoubtedly uphold the unit
rule.
The Wilson men claim thai they
would get nineteen votes from Ohio
If h unit rule were not in effect.
This claim is based only on the fact
that there are nineteen anti-Harmon
men in the Ohio delegation, which
does not mean Wilson men. ASS
matter Of fact, several of these anti
Harmon delegates are at heart Bryan
! men. Others of them are Clark men.
united States Senator James E..
Martlne made one of his old-time
speeches at the close of the Wilson
meeting last night. Congressman
Hammill also spoke.
While the Wilson meeting was in
progress the Democratic national
committee was voting on the tempor-
airy craftsmanship. Robert S. Huds-
peth, of New Jersey, cast his vote
with the Bryan men, against the Sc

York. Mr.. Hudspeth's dislike of
Bryan Is proverbial In New Jersey
and his vote represented the wishes
OF Governor Wilson rather than his
own.
There were nc illusions among the
Jerseymen last night as to the result
of the verdict in the national commit
tee on the Parker Bryan vote. Some
Of the Wilson men tried to convince
themselves that Parker would be
beaten on h floor, of the convention
today and that the outcome would
rebound to h benefit of Wilson. but
the cold mathematics of the situation
was against them.
Dfoou anu mdrhet streets on New
Years Eve or Halloween never were
a marker to Baltimore's streets last
night. Thousands of pretty girls and
gay and festive men ~promenaded I'M
TIL far into the night. Every train
added to the throng, and, most of
Washington came over on trolley
cars to get into the game. Confetti,
ticklers, horns. rattles, everything
that would make a noise, was in
evidence.
Taxicabs, automobiles of every de-
scription and wagons rolled up and
down all night, loaded with rollicking
fun-maBers. There was no evidence
in the immense crowds that any
such serious business as selecting the
next President was on ~anybody's
mind. .
There Is confusion indescribable in
every hotel. The ~bellboys seem to
have been imported for the occasion
and know as little about where to
find room 4-11-44 as the man who
wants to find it.

Everybody's happy-so far as the
crowds are concerned. Good nature
is everywhere-among delegates as

jostling or how much physical dis
comfort, there was but little disorder
last night or today.
