Baltimore, June 26.-The session
OF the Democratic convention, which
opens at noon, is expected to be al
most entirely routine in character.
The resolutions committee, of which
Bryan is member, is at work but
will not report the document until
Thursday.
The plan of the dominant faction
is now to make the temporary Or
ganlzation permanent. but this may
not be put through.
The only real fight before the
credentials committee is the contest
from Illinois and this may take up
considerable time.
Some think Gaynor is still the
leading dark horse" candidate. but
a boom for Kern is being nursed by
the Indiana delegates. The Clark
managers are thought to have an

and they profess to be confident of
victory
The Wilson leaders say Clark can
not get enough votes on first or
second ballots to win. and then his
delegates will flop to Wilson, who
will win on the fourth or fifth bal
lot.
The machine which put Parker
| through controls enough votes to

but it is believed that the bosses are
satisfied with the temporary chair

and will let the delegates vote as
they will.

not materially weakened his influence
