CONVENTION MAY SIT ALL NIGHT,
AS MANY BALLOTS MUST BE CAST

They feel they have enough to bring
about that result.
Wilson Men Dismayed.
The Wilson men are dismayed by this
dog in the manger attitude. They bank
on the influence Of Bryan to swing the
recalcitrant Clark men into line at the
proper time. But they may be counting
without their host in this expectation.
The upshot Of 1t all is that some other
progressive may be decided upon. II
falls out that Mr.. Bryan has man In
view and his name is Kern OF Indiana.
Readers of The Star may recall that as
long ago as last December 1t was stated
that Kern was the man Bryan had in
mind in case he, Bryan, should not De

Bryan Stampede Not Unlikely.
Here is the afternoon horoscope, as
pronounced by the most expert political
astrologers I can find among the high
brows of the democratic leadership-wise
old owls that they be:
Bryan has the situation in the hollow
of his hand
He is playing two favorites. namely,
Wilson and Kern
This, of course, in the event that the
convention should not stampede and nomi-
nate Bryan himself
New York is dead set against Wilson,
and that very fact is becoming an asset
for Wilson,.
1.-The rank and file are sympathetic with
any one Tammany opposes"
Bryan is more acceptable to New York
than Wilson as a candidate for the presi-
dency."
1.-The reason for 1t is not sentimental.
but entirely cold-blooded; Tammany Is
after 'wampum'-it wants winner

The foregoing are the salient features
of the situation as the day began
Changes occur with ligEtnfng-like rapid
ity A ticket is likely to be nominated
before tomorrow dawns. The convention
may sit throughout the night, as IT Is
certain that many ballots will be required
Successive ballots will be necessitated
because Of the fact that many delegates,
while instructed for one candidate, favor
another, and after the first vote VIII
switch to their choice.
The conservative forces are almost
paralyzed today by Bryan's replenishment
OF power They admit that he can pre-
vent the nomination of any man objec-
tionable to him.
The conservatives thought he would be
content with debating the platform. but
they did not know their man. Bryan
cares more for the nominee than for the
empty words of the platform.
Gossip Trends to Dark Horse.

cal gossip takes a trend toward dark
horse Intense bitterness between the
Champ Clark and Wilson factions is IN

the government incltnes to take all rea-
sonable and proper steps toward pacifica-

good policy to grant the leaders OF the
revolution as complete immunity from the
consequences Of their acts as OroZco seeks
to obtain for himself and his subordi-

Bitterness Against Orozco.
Much bitterness exists against Orozco
among influential Mexicans and foreign

investment interests on account OF the
unprovokeds manner in which he plunged

Today's Program Of Business.
The order Of business as the convention
met was further consideration Of the re-
port Of the committee on credentials. The
majority report was presented last night.
the minority findings being delayed until
today. The majority had unseated ten
Wilson delegates in South Dakota and
given their places to Clark men, and this
was expected to precipitate lively fight.
The credentials committee also dealt with
factional troubles I'm several states, in
Guiding Illinois. and it was predicted that
two or three hours might be consumed in
disposing of the credentials matter.
Then the report of the committee on
permanent organization was scheduled to
be taken up, with the convention ready
to ratify by acclamation the choice OF
Senator-elect Ollie NJ. James Of Kentucky
as permanent chairman. Mr.. James was
expected to make brief speech. These
things disposed Of, the delegates looked
forward to the long series of nominating
and seconding speeches, and, finally. to
the balloting on the presidential candi-
dates.
Choice on. First Ballot Not Expected.
No one anticipated a choice OF the first
ballot. but the lineup on the initial vote
was awaited with the keenest interest.
At - o'clock Chairman Parker had not
taken his place on the platform. A big
squad of police filed In. and the sergeant
alarms stationed policemen ten feet
apart in every aisle.
A double row Of police was placed in
front of the press stand, where q scuffie

forces. the sergeant-at-arms was unable
to prevent crowding in the aisles.

BALTIMORE, June 27.-Mr. BRYAN and
Senator O'Gorman of New York will
write the platform Of the democratic ma
tional convention. When the working
subcommittee Of the committee on reso-
ludons met today the members found
themselves without platform draft of
sufficient cohesiveness to form basis for
the committees operations, and a con-
clusion was arrived at speedily to appoint
a second subcommittee to prepare q draft
for the convenience of the subcommittee,
and later of the full committee, and Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. O'Gorman were designated
to perform that service
The subcommittee then adjourned, with
the understanding that It would recon-
yene at 4 o'clock, and that the full COM
mittee would be called together at I
o'clock this evening.
The subcommittee has progressed so far
as to justify the conclusion on the part
of its members that 1t will be prepared
to present a fairly complete platform at
o'clock After the subcommittee ad-
journed at midnight last night the MEM
bers went to their rooms under instruc-
tons to prepare various planks for con-
sideration, and when they assembled this
morning a number of comparatively COM
plete propositions were presented. These.
however. were without connecting links,
and, moreover, it was necessary that
each of them should undergo the super
vision Of other members Of the COM
mittee
Go to Work Immediately.
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. OGorman went to
work Immediately to thresh the platform
into shape. They turned one Of the big
committee rooms. Of the convention hall
into q workshop, and the announcement
was made that there would be neither
coming in or going out while they were
at work. AS an earnest of their in
tentions in this regard two stalwart
sentinels We're placed at the door of the

fused to all.

Renewed Talk About Bryan.

There was renewed talk of Mr.. Bryan
himself as the nominee today. some OF
the so-called conservatives being quoted
as saying that SO long as the naming OF
a progressive seemed inevitable. 1t might
be lust as well to have Mr.. Bryan lead
the fight for fourth time. Some OF
Mr.. Bryan's friends indicated that the
Nebraskan apparently was content with
the position he now occupied In the con-
yention, the right to name the candidate
being all but conceded to him.
Supporters OF Champ Clark were claim
inp the nomination with as much outward
confidence as ever as they gathered for
the days session.

ton from the Clark strength" read

were mentioned. there appeared to be

Kwei.lin, capital Of Kwang 81 province,
under date of November 10th last, his
account of how tho Transformation was
effected in that province from the I'M
perial regime TO the Republican form,
which is most interesting, as follows:
Two days ago the province OF Kwans

cmarkable aud peaceful revolution here
I'm this province. Last week two repre-
scntatives from Hankow. the hcsdquar-
ters OF the revolution, arrived here In

members of the Provincial Assembly re-
public. The question WAS would the high
officials here agree1 They sent for the
Governor to consult with them. AT the
fine New Provincial Assembly building
lie was not ready Ia take stand. The
president of the Assembly banged on
the table with his hand and said What
do you mean 10 do? We will give you
two DAYS 20 decide" After two days the
new provincial Army, some Two Thousand
strong, marched TO the Governors va
men with the request that he become
the Governor Of the Republican State OF
KNang 81. The Governor came out and
bowed his assent and then retired. Al
once the Provincial Assembly had flags
hung throughout the city on which was
written the following notice; THE Mill
tary government OF the whole province

10 declare the independence of Kwang
