Baltimore, June 29--Speaker Clark came to Baltimore tonight in response to the urgent request of former Sen ator Fred T. Dubois, his campaign
 manager, and George Fred Williams, of Massachusetts, who represented that the Mssourian's candidacy had suffered by reason of an "attack upon
 his honor" made by William Jennings
 Bryan. The convention. apparently ho3elessly deadlocked, had adjournei until Monday before the speakers arr
 rival
 MT. Clark arrived in Baltimore at 11:45 and went direct to the Elmer
 son hotel, There he went into confer
 ence with his managers. ex- Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, and William R. Hearst, of New York.
 T came here to Baltimore to con- fer with my friends on matters con- corning which 1 will probably have something to say after the confer ence," said Mir. Clark That is all have to say now" he concluded. Back of his coming was a rumor of disruption in his political camp. Senator Stone, former Governor Fran cis, and the main body of the Mis- souri delegation were said to be lstrenuously opposed to the speaker making an appeal to the convention 1 in his own behalf. They objected 10 the activity of Messrs Dubois and ! Williams as they believed the con- yention would misinterpret Mir. Cfarlx's appearance on the platform It was no surprise. therefore, when Governor Francis of the Clark forces. seconded the motion of Representative A.
 Mitchell Palmer of the Wilson camp | to adjourn over Sunday. Mr. Clarks train left Washington at 10:05 aud 1 the adjournment was taken within 15 minutes of the time the news reach ed the convention floor.
 There is a great deal of bitterness against Mir Bryan among the Clark adherents. They feel that the Ne braskan had no right to attempt to
 place Morgan Belmont-Ryan brand
 on the speaker just because the New
 York delegation gave it's support to him. They have attempted to offset the effect upon the progressives made by Mir. Bryans statement that he would withhold his vote from the Mis- sourian so long as New Yorks vote went to him. At the same time they argued that he could not wipe out the injury without attacking MT.
 Bryan in the forum where MT Bryan's
 assault was delivered. The majority of the Missouri delegates felt that while Mir. Clark would be justified in facing Mir Bryan and defending himself before the convention, his op- ponents would charge that his appear anee was for purpose of personally asking vindication in the form Of
 votes.
 Mr. Williams and former Senator
 Dubois were said to have ignored the advice of their associates and to have told Mir. Clark that his only chance of redress lay in an immediate confront al of Mir. Bryan and the conyen- | ton. They urged him to take the | first train, believing that 1t would get him here before the adjournment
 of the session. The chances are that | Mir. Clark would huve reached the convention hall in time to make
 dramatic entrance had not the plans i of Messrs Williams and Dubois he- come known. It was the plan to ad- iourn shortly before midnight and the Clark forces, not wanting another
 ballot after the twenty-sixth. had en- tered upon a counter Wilson demon | stration.
 As the Clark leaders heard that Senator Dubois had gone to the de-
 pot to meet the speaker they called
 in their followers and the elaborate
 demonstration quickly subsided. The adjournment over Sunday gives to the Clark forces opportunity to adjust diff ferences. These are not thought to be serious. It is believed Mir. Clark
 will be able to heal them. It coull not be learned tonight whether Mr- Clark would attempt to see MT. Bry- an.
 Some members of the Missouri
 delegation believe he will be content.
 to make a statement to the conyen- tion through some friend or will ask taht letter be read setting forth such statements as he cares to pre-
 sent There is no way he could ad- dress the convention except by il-
 vitation, but it is not likely this would
 be withheld if he desires to speak on ! Monday
