Baltimore, June 25.--A last des-
perate attempt to avert q bitter fac

took the stand. He made a plea for

After waiting in vain for a reply from
Parker, Kern himself withdrew and
nominated Bryan.
Again Bryan took the platform. He
accepted tho nomination and tho

up the wrong aisle in search Of the
New York delegation.
After the call Chairman Mack In.

"Sunny jim" Sherman Gets Second
Place Among Regulars.
THE VOTE.

Chicago. June ,22.--With, nearly
$50 Of the Roosevelt delegates de-
clining to vote and fastening away
Col. Theodore Roosevelt the nomina-
ton Of new party, the fifteenth Re-
publican National Convention, at the
end Of long and tumultuous ses-
sion, tonight renominated VIM.
Howard Taft, Of Ohio, for President,
and James Schoolcraft Sherman, of
New York, for Vice President.
President Taft received SCI Of the
1918 votes in the convention, or 81
more than majority.
The decision of the Roosevelt peo-
pie, under direction Of their leader,
to refrain from voting, left no other
candidate near the President. The
announcement Of the Taft victory
was greeted with cheering from his
adherents and groans and Kisses
from the opposition.
Decide on Sherman.
When it became absolutely certain
early to-day that Mr.. Taft would be
nominated without great fficulty,
the leaders in control of the conven-
tion decided to give him as running
mate his companion on the ticket in
1908.
All others dropped from the race
and Mr.. Sherman was the only can
didate regularly placed before the
convention. A motion from New
Hampshire to make the nomination
by acclamatiOn was declared out of
order. There were many scattering
votes on the roll call that ensued,
and the convention, amid much con-
fusion. adjourned sine die.
At no time was there an indica-
ton Of walkout of Roosevelt dele
gates. They expressed their revolt
by silence.
In the confusion just before ad-
journment resolution was adopted
giving the national committee power
to declare vacant the seat of any
man on the committee refusing to
support the nominees Of the regular
convention Of 1912.
Sherman's vote was 597.
Roosevelt Revolt.
The revolt Of many Of Roosevclt's s
delegates In the convention was open
from the moment the permanent roll,
cohtaihlhg the names OF the contest
ed delegates, was approved. A "vale-
alctory statement was read in be-
half of Col. Roosevelt asking that
MS delegates sit in mute protest
against all further proceedings.
A great majority of the Roosevelt
delegates in the Illinois and all in
the Missouri and Idaho delegations
declined to follow this advice, but
Col. Rooscvelt's sway over the dele
cations from California, Kansas.
Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota
and West Virginia was all but abso-
lutte.
Most Of the delegates from these
states annon. 'ed their purpose of
helping to give Mr.. Roosevelt an in
dependent nomination at another
hall later in tho evening. The split
in the convention occasioned no sur
prise 1t was but fulhllment of
predictions that had been made dur
ing the past several days.
