ARE FIGURING ON
A V|CE-PRES|DEN1
BELIEVED UNDERWOOD WILL
GET PLACE IF he WILL Ac-
CEPT THE HONOR.

Baltimore, June 2S.-With candi,
dates for the democratic presidential
nomination on the nome stretch, the
political trainers are grooming the
field of entries for the vice prCsiden-
tial race of the convention program.
Uncertain as the presidential NOM
ination vas, that for vice president
is impossible. Gossip today failed to
crystaiize the delegates almost de-
spairing of correctly analyzing the
ltse out tonight, as tne ballotine ma
nip lations Progress.
Among the most conspicuous of the
vice Presidential probabilities at this
time are Governor Burke of North
Dakota, Representative William Sui
zer of New York, chairman Of the
house committee on foreign affairs;
Mayor Newton Baker of Cleveland;
Senator O'Gorman of New York; Rep
resentative William Redfield of New
York, and Representative Robert L.
Henry of Texas.
The name of Representative Oscar
W. Underwood in the race for the
Residential nomination also is much
talked of in case the first place on
Qhe ticket does not Fall to his Tot
His friends, insisting that he has a
strategic position as to the p'esiden-
tial nomination, are not thinking of
second place for him, but his name
is heard in many quarters as the
most available running-mate for Clark
Or Wilson or Bryan Or Kern. Or who
ever is named.
Underwood, it is regarded, would
surely cement harmony in TIE party
and bring together all factions Mr..
underwood, however, is not seeking
the vice presidency, and his stanch-
est supporters insist that unless he
is chosen to head the ticket he
would prefer to remain where he is

First Ballot Was Taken After
Session Lasting All Night

Baltimore, June 2S-After sitting
all through the night the democratic
national convention reached the first
ballot on the presidential nomination
shortly before O'Clock this morn
ing. There was no choice. In fact,
all of the candidates were so far
away from the two-th thirds vo-e nee
today looked forward to a long, hard
fight.
After the first ballot, the ccnven-
tion at 7.16 a. m, took recess until
4 o'clock this afternoon. In the
meantime there was much s'udying
of the figures on the test vota, and
many conferences among the lead
ers. q ~
Clark Led All.
AS was expected, Speaker Champ
Clark led all of the other candidates
on the first ballot. He received A40 12
votes to 324 for Woodrow Wilson, his
nearest rival. This, however, left the
speaker 2S6 1-2 votes short CT the
necessary thirds. Governor Jud-
son Harmon of Ohio, aided by New
York's solid block of 80 votes. was
third with 14S. Representative Os-
car w. Underwood Of Alabama, re-
ceived III 1-2 votes.
Bryan Got One Vote.
William ]. Bryan of Nebraska, got
one vote-from the Ohio delegation.
Some of his friends had expected
that he would receive more scattering
votes, but the fact that he did not
show any strength whatever On the
first ballot did not discourage them.
They still felt that in the even of
deadlock Mr. Bryan might be turned
to again to lead his party in the pres
idential race
The First Ballot.
The totals of the various candidates
on the first ballot were: Sulaer OF
New York, 2; Clark, 440 12; Wilson,
324; Underwood, III 1-2; Fermon,
14S; Marshall, 81; Baldwin, "::; abb
sent, 2: Bryan l.
Speaker Clark's vote was less than
his managers had been claiming for
him, but was about what the other
candidates had conceded. The speak
er's adherents were declaring tnac
he would steadily gain as the ballot
ing in the convention progressed, and
at the same time were busy with their
delegates to see that there were no
defections.

new YORK VOTES HARMON
THEN GOES OVER TO CLARK
The Speaker, on Last Ballot This
Morning, Had a Total Of 54T 1-2'
But Was Still Short 17a 1-2 of the
Necessary Two Thirds.

BALTIMORE, June 29.-3 a. M
After taking twelve ballots in an ef-
fort to nominate a presidential can
dtdate the democratic national con-
vention, shortly before 3 O'Clock this
morning, adjourned until O'clock to-
day, with the final result almost as
much in doubt as it was when the
first ballot was taken yesterday morn
ing.
The last ballot showed Speaker
Champ Clark and Governor Woodrow
Wilson to be we'll in the lead, with
the Missourian almost 200 votes ahead
of the New Jersey governor. Clark
made the largest gains of the. day
and on the last ballot taken this
morning he received SAT 12 votes,
Just 178 1-2 short of the necessary
two-thirds majority. Governor Will
son also received the largest vote
that had been recorded for him
1854.
Congressman Underwood held his
strength during the entire convention
and on the last vote received almost
the same number of votes with which
he started yesterday afternoon.
BALDWIN DROPS OUT.
Governor Baldwin, of Connecticut,
who had been placed IN nomination
during the early ballots, dropped out
and his votes were scattered among
the various candidates, majority of
them going to Underwood.
Governor Marshall, who was placed
in nomination by Indiana, was voted
on in every ballot. He received 81
votes on the first ballot and the same
number on the twelfth. There is
much speculation as to where the
Indiana votes will go when his sup
port finally breaks.
It is impossible this morning to
predict whether or not the deadlock
will be broken during the day. The
delegates, having been up for two
nights, are pretty well fatigued. and
after the adjournment this morning
they all hastened to their rooms to
get much needed rest.
Colonel Bryan was unusually quiet
during the entire night. He voted
soIdIy with the Nebraska delegation
for Speaker Clark on every ballot and
seemed pretty well satisfied with the
large vote the progressive candidates
were receiving.
The thirteenth ballot will be taken
Immediately after the convention
convenes again today at o'clock.

gain greatly in these changes.
1t had been known for weeks that
because of the great number of can

fight for the nomination that selee-

out of the question. The voting this
morning bore out these expectations
to the fullest degree. 1t was because
the delegates knew the situation was
complex that they patiently sat thru

hours of Oratory and then agreed to

chances decidedly in favor o. the
