Clifton, Of Champ Clark's Washington ! Bureau is in Baltimore with Speaker Clarks entire bureau. Headquarters were opened with a full force and a live literary bureau to compete with the HarmOnites who have been push ing things since their arrival here.
 Governor Wilson's headquarters was moved from Washington to Baltimore. Discussion in convention circles to- day centered around a proposition to make tthe second man on the final presidential ballot the candidate Of the party for vice president
 The idea was suggested by JOsephus Daniels, National committeeman from North Carolina, who declared that he would do everything in his power to put it through. and he is preparing for campaign Of education among the delegates. For Governor HarmOn's s part, however. Edmond fl. Moore and his other campaign managers assert most positively that he would not ac- cept second place on the ticket under any conditions or circumstances.

 On the other hand, belief was gen eral today that Representative Oscar Underwood might take the nomination for vice president, and on all sides it was said that he would strengthen any ticket materially. No small pro portion Of opposition to Underwood and Clark for the democratic pres idental nomination is expected by close observers 70 develop from sey- cTal southern states which fear their tariff reduction prOcliyities and pre- fer some man not enthusiastic on that subject sn all probability, however, Underwood would De acceptable to those states for the vice presidency. Discussions are in progress Of a ru- mOred change in the national chair manship. Ii is suggested that if Will son be nominated. he will have Jos ephus Daniels tu direct the campaign, while Champ Clark would prefer Sen ator William J. Stond Of Missouri.

 Mayor Newton D. Baker of Cleyc- ! land, delegate from Harmon's state, ! will either place in nomination or make the chief seconding speech for Woodrow Wilson.

To Fight Tickets for 8ryanites. Any crort on the part Of National | Committeeman Harvey C. Garber, of ohio. to give all his allotment of tick
 cts to the convention to Bryan men, , because he is opposed to Harmon, will he met with the strongest opposition. It was learned that the Harmon men are not saying anything along this line, but it is understood on the most excellent authority that when the na- tional committee meets the matter will be put up to the members.
 As national committeeman from Ohio. Garber will expect to have the IlSlTibuItDi or tlthel's dbu dS ne Has
 fought Harmon from the beginning and it is said to be friendly toward
 Bryan. it is feared by the followers of
 Harmon that he will give the 100 or more tickets which he will receive. to IfTiends of Bryan, instead of dividing them, giving the Harmon men their
 share. The Harmon people think it
 is an unfair move toward their capdi'
 date and there is little doubt Ol a
 hot fight on this point before the national committee.
 Among other things it was announce cd that Edwin Henderson, Of Detroit.
