Baltimore, July 2.-The Democratic
national convention is still in dead
lock
After forty-two fruitless ballots the
convention adjourned at 1910 O'Clock
this morning just as far from the nom
ination of candidate for president as
ii was when the first ballot was called
in the early morning hours of last
Thursday.
The convention went into session
again at noon today. Before 1t met
there were numerous cauCuses of
state delegations and more confer
ences of leaders, but there We're few
Indications that these meetings were
productive of any concrete understand.

Delegates Want to Go Home.
The delegates want to go home, but
none seem to be willing to give in a
point to the other fellow in order to
win the reward Of an opportunity TO
go home.
Two sersions Of the convention We're
occupied yesterday by fruitless ballot
ing. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey
climbed steadily throughout the day
until he had obtained 50ll2 votes.
Champ Clark showed loss after loss.
The Wilson vote kept biting chunks
out Of the Clark list of delegates.
On the forty-second ballot Clark
showed some ability to come back, y
and the night ended with the vote like
this:
Champ Clark 43O, Woodrow Wilson
494 oscar w. Underwood 104, Eugene
Foss 2S, Judson Harmon o.
j. Hamilton Lewis, ollie James and
Mayor Gaynor of New York each re-
ceived one vote, and William jennings
Bryan received one half vote on the
final ballot.
No Break in Sight
TO the political dopester there is
not much Of encouragement for a
break in the deadlock in these figures.
Wilson is generally believed to have
reached the crest Of his strength in
the convention Champ Clark may
again get some votes that We're
switched to Wilson, but his managers
are not quite so confident as earlier in
the week.
The Underwood folks are hanging on
with great tenacity in the hope that
the presidential lightning will strike
their candidate.
New York and Illinois, the two big
delegations which can practically
swing the nomination and which fig
ured In at least a dozen different yari-
cites of dope" stories in the conven-
ton AZ to trades or bargains by their
leaders, Charles f. Murphy and Roger
Sullivan, are still sitting tight. voting
as units and for Champ Clark. Neither
delegation shows any indication of
breaking away to any other candidate.
The two sessions of the convention
were hard. gruelling affairs, character
lied by little else than the monoton-
GUS call of the roll Of states and the
never-ending announcement of vote
which did not nominate.
Michigan causes sensation.
Michigan furnished the one big SEN
sation by switching n large part of
its vote TO Wilson Some of this was
returned to Clark on the last ballot.
Ohio kept the convention in "A fine
feeling of suspense on several bal
lots by asking repeatedly to be
passed" The net result of all these
mysterious passes" was a small gain
for Wilson.
Two Colorado delegates instructed
by their state convention to vote for
Champ Clark until he personally re-
leased them broke away and voted for
Wilson, Two Florida delegates did
likewise.
The night was marked by no big
demonstrations. The Wilson folks
broke loose once for few minutes
A wellwielded gavel, determination OF
the delegates 10 get through II pos
sible and waning strength among the
convention shouters-all contributed
to keep the applause well within
bounds.
The doors TO the convention were
wide open to everybody, and Balti-
more folks iiocked into the galleries,
filling them long before the conven-
ton was called to order.
