No Way Seen to Break

New Jerseyite's Vote Run to 4o7H-
Nlssourlan Drops to 43eLa-
Dark Horse.

Baltimore, Md. - With Governor
Woodrow Wilson gaining on each bal
lot and Speaker Champ Clark constant
ly losing ground In the race for the
presidential nomination, the Demo
cratic national convention at 11:05
o'clock Saturday night adjourned until
Monday at IL o'clock.
Twenty-six ballots had been TAX
en- since the first call Of the states
and there was no hope of a final YER
dict. 1t Is against all political prece-
dent for a national convention to sit
on Sunday, but that day was a day OF
important conferences among the
party leaders and a day of hard work
for the campaign managers.
The ballot Saturday ran from the
thirteenth to the twenty-sixth. Wilson
began at 356 and ended at 407h, a
net gain during the day of 81 votes.
Speaker Clark began at 554 and fell to
463h, a loss of 81 votes. The anti.
Clark leaders in the convention called
attention to the fact hat this almost
exactly Offset the 80 votes given to
Clark by the New York delegation.
Breaks to Governor Wilson were COM

Ing from many different delegations
as the balloting closed. His managers
believed that n c he had overtaken
Speaker Clark the switching OF dele
gates would be complete. The Clark
forces made a desperate effort Sunday
to win back some OF the delegates
lost Sunday and in this they had the
personal direction of the speaker him
self.
The Wilson forces. In the meantime.
were fighting not only to hold their
gains of yesterday, but TO induce more
to desert the other candidates.
Senator Stone Of Missouri made a
motion to eliminate the candidate re-
ceiving the lowest number OF votes
on each succeeding ballot after the
twcnty-seventh. until only one-the
winner-was left in the race. There
was q storm of objection and the sub.
ject was pressed no further.
The Harmon delegates from Ohio
threw their support to Speaker Clark
on several ballots, but they did not
materially help him toward the neces.
sary two-thirds vote because OF the
gradual inroads made by Wilson. They
then changed back to Harmon and re
manned there until the last ballot OF
the evening.
The dark horse attempt WAS made
when Mayor Fitzgerald OF Boston cast

Noble Foss. governor of the state. The
convention was not In a compromise
mood and Fitzgerald was denied the
