BALTIMORE. Nd, June 29-W.ll
the thirteenth ballot break the dead
lock in the Democratic National Con-
vention. was the uppermost question
when the delegates assembled at one
o'clock this afternoon. The conven-
! tioll was slow in getting under way.
. and the delegates were sweltering and
some not in the cheeriest mood. They
we're getting peevish over long hours.
, hCt weather and 'iost sleap.
Boss Murphy. OF Tammany Hall,
issued his untimatum to the Clark
; managers shortly before noon. It
was put Clark over quick"
That the speaker li-utsHants real
ized the Tammany chieftain's edict
/. concealed a threat was evident in the
.,nstsntaneous effort wulc hwas put
forth to proselyte Underwood, Har-
mon and Wilson delegates.
Senator Bankhead, Underwood's
campaign manager. was summoned TO
the Emerson Hotel, where the Clark
& ties assembled IN a war council that
was TO plan the strategic moves Of
their eliminating effort. Bankhead,
james, Senator Stone, former Sena-
; tor Dubois and fo-ms- Senator Petti-
grew attended.
Il will not deny that Underwoods
friends have been comforting with us,
but il would spoil things TO tell our
plans just now" said Dubois.
Senator Stone. Clark's strategic ex-
pert. declared at noon today
I'VE will nominate somebody today,
) for we are going 10 stick 10 him."
AyaD Boss Murphy of Tammany, was
4 'he central figure, in the badly mud
died situation in Democratic politics
today. When the national conven-
I ton, wearied with fruitless balloting
for their presidential candidate, re.
cessed after twelve ballots at S.05
this morning until 1 o'clock this af-
ternoon. the action was on the de-
mand Of the Tammany leader.
Murphy was up against IT, His
first effort to assume the role of q
national leader had resulted in dead
lock. Il was expected TO force fur
ther protracted sessions and mas
finally result in a brand new deal 50
far as candidates are concerned. The
New York leader has steadily oppos
ed an ultra pro ogressive nominee fol
the presidency. He has come here
obsessed by the idea that Bryan
would try to force himself on the
convention. To eliminate the Nebras
kan. Murphy backed Judge Parker
3 for the temporary chairmanship. HI
y won. Then came the surprisint
BRYAN appeal to the country. TIT
Immediate and emphatic Response
y Icaused Murphy to back pedal III
let it be known that no platformcoult
be constructed that would be toe
+. radical for him But on the question
: of candidates he baked.
Tammany swung into the Harmon
camp with the initial ballot II wa
4 known that it did not intend to re
I main there. So the followers Of tn
/, other candidates got busy. New
a0York's ninety votes would sound BIZ
when dumped into the cart of th'
\ fortunate candidate who could shov
! Murphy that he should be his choice
NJ Underwood was. and still is, beliey
i cd along with Harmon. to be tn
deep-down selection of Murphy. Blu
4 Bryan's attacks on the Alabaml
lawyer and politician have stampe'
Thin as reactionary despite the heate'
IA fenials of his hackers.
When the Champ Clark forces he
gan with Murphy they found him mos
! Responsive. They had aided him Il
l.he elimination Of Bryan and the
ioointed out to him that Bryan wa
\ IN record as favoring Clark whor
