NO CHOICE AT THE END 0F THIRTEENTH BALLOT

gan at 10:52 D. m., shortly after a motion had passed to continue the session until after the first ballot.
 A wild demonstration for Clark was followed by a greater one for Wilson Minor demonstrations fol- lowed the nominations of Harmon The balloting started at 6:43 a. m This first ballot which resulted in nc nomination, was as follows:
 Bryan, l; Suzer, 2; Clark, 44O1a Wilson, 324: Underwood, 117h; Har- mon, 14S; Marshall, 31; Baldwin, 22; necessary to a choice, 726. No candi- date having received the necessary two thirds, a recess followed.
 Todays speculation as to the pos sible presidential nominee is hinged on which way the ninety votes from New York will go. That delegation in a caucus last night decided to give the votes to Governor Harmon on the first ballot. Other caucuses will be held in the delegation as the ballot ing progresses.
 In addition to the renewed talk of the possibility of Bryans nomination JOOdy IHCIt was SOllIS lctIN LII OctI n horses" The indications pointed tC little chance for a stampede. It was known that any attempt to nominate Bryan would meet with stubborn re- sistance from some of the southern states which were instructed for Un- derwood and held subject to his re lease.
 The Knight session of the cOnVen- tion was picturesque in many ways In all there were about eight hours O1 oratory and the demonstrations of the Clark and Wilson forces were the principal contestants in the struggle to see which could keep up cheering the longest The Clark demonstration was the first big one of the evening It lasted one hour and five minutes. Bryan had no word to say today or the first presidential ballot of tht democratic national convention. Aftel the adjournment of the all-night ses- sion the Nebraskan hurried to his ho- tel, where he retired for needed rest He indicated that the delegates haC already spoken their mind agains Underwood and Harmon, but was non ommitaI as to whether his choice i: Clark or Wilson, although he added that he had voted for Clark

BALTIMORE. June 27-At an early hour this morning the demo- cratic national convention adjourned until one o'clock this afternoon, thirteen ballots having resulted in no choice.
 The night session was opened with the roll call for the fourth ballot which as we'll as all the succeeding ones until the tenth resulted in no substantial changes. The shifting of delegates among the leaders was confined within a range of two or three votes
 THE SWITCH
 The long predicted "break" in the Kew York delegation came in the tenth ballot when Leader Murphy an nounced eighty-o one for Clark. Under the unit rule it counted as ninety. Murphy got no further when a great demonstrat ton broke out among the spectators, delegates and friends. While it was in progress there were several fist fights on the floor Those who claimed to have the confidence of the New York delegation predicted that ft-woufd be a switch away from Clark on subsequent ballots.
 Murphy later announced that the New York delegation showed S1 for Clark. for Wilson and 1 for Under wood but under the unit rule it gave all ninety to Clark.
 There was a bowling crowd in the galleries which joined in loud and disorderly demonstrations now in fla vor of Clark and now of Wilson. There were frequent collisions and fist fights among the supporters of the leaders.
 Clark's supporters early this morn ing were predicting a breaking up of the forces from which the speaker would profit
