sophistical reasons will be published
There were forty-eight In
Baltimore yesterday, one of each State
delegation. There were conferences
of all the big leaders. Messengers
were kept on the jump from one
headquarters to another. What de-
vsloped out of all the dickering is not
apparent tonight. The strong Wilson
and the strong Clark States resolved
to stand firm. There were bitter
fights among other delegations.
If today is a sweltering day
like Saturday the probabilities are
that a candidate will be nominated
before midnight.
General Fatigue is going to have as
much to do with solving the situation
as General Endurance. The dele
gates are worn out physically. Some
of them have gone broke" and 81

money or calling On friends TO cash

of them, who did not expect 20 1e-
main here later than Friday are anx
ious to get back and attend to their
business affairs and are beginning to
'cuss'' both loud and deep.
Practically all the visitors have left

votes as he had at flood tide "n the

Jnbroken ranks and keen enthusi-

essary for Clark to win. -.hat Is tire
most obvious news in Baltimore to-
day. The atmosphere is laden with
If. He has been losing steadily for
sixteen roll calls.
Deadlock May Continue.
Norman E. Mack said last night:
After a conference called by me
of the managers and friends of the
candidates I regret to say that no
agreement could be reached save one
to resume this hopeless contest to-
morrow-taking it up from the point
where it rested after last nights adj
journment. l can see no prospect Of
a compromise and ii looks to me as
if the deadlock will continue indefin-
itely."
In the conference which lasted sor
seven Improbable hours were the
managers of Speaker Clark. Governor
Wilson, Governor Harmon, Governor
Marshall and Representative Under
wood. Every n of them announced
that he would stick to his favorite
to the end and hold all his people
with him.
Speaking for the New York delega-
ton Charles f. Murphy said that the
ninety votes for which he is the
spokesman will stay behind Clark as
long as there is a chance of his NOM
ination.
Senator Stone and former Governor
David r. Francis, Clark's floor man
ager, said that the speaker would be
kept in the field and that there would
be enough votes behind him to keep
him a leading candidate to the end.
A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsyl-
vania, the most aggressive of the
Wilson leaders, said that the pro-
fessor would not retire and thai his
supporters would support him to the
finish. For Governor Harmon e. Fl.
Moore, of Ohio, promised a continued
fight, and Senator Bankhead, who
was fresh from a conference with
Underwood. announced that the Ala
bama candidate would not permit the
withdrawal of his name as long as
there was a vote for him. Thomas
Taggart, of Indiana. who has steadily
voted Indiana's thirty delegates for
Marshall, notified the other conferees
| that not even for Kern would Indiana
| weaken on Marshall.
Others in the conference were Roger
Sullivan. of Illinois, who has voted
fffty-eight for Clark and Will con-
time so to vote them; Congressman
Burleston, of Texas, which is solidly
for Wilson with forty votes; Fred
Lynch, of Minnesota, another Wilson
State with a strength of twenty
eight:7 Urey Woodson, of Kentucky,
which is supporting Clark; Ollie
James, chairman of the convention,
and John Quinn, of New York.
At the end of the conference. the
leaders came out tired, but deter
mined.
New York is still for Clark, that's
ALL said Murphy as he hurried away
to a second conference with the New
York delegation.
I'VE all talked" said Senator Stone,
except Murphy. But VIZ didn't get
anywhere"
Mack, who was plainly Disguised,
in speaking. of the plan to elimina'e
the low man till the last ballot
then break the H21thirds rule by
giving tn \pomi to the can
didate vii City, said:
We fa1 $ all there is
