PEACE VANISHES.

Baltimore, June 29-All hope of
averting a fight from the fall of the

committee vanished, tonight, when the
National committee approved the Sc

ker of New York rs temporary chair
man, in defiance of the threat of VII
liam Jennings Bryan to make an issue
of the alleged conservatism of Judge
Parker as opposed to the progress

braskan declares should prevail.
An effort was made by the National
committee, today, to placate Mr.. Bry-
an. hut n conference resulted in COM

cede from the position he had taken

fight from the floor of the convention,

nomination or not, and they expressed
the belief that ne would win if the

In furtherance of their hope of
nominating Mr.. Bryan, some of his
friends. 1t is said, are bending their
energies to preventing a coalition of
the Clark and Wilson forces. They
are talking of Bryan and Wilson as
a possible ticket and the suggestion
IS receiving attention in many quar-
tiers. In the event that Mr. Bryan
should not be a candidate himself for
temporary chairman. it was said he
might urge Senator John w. Kern of
Indiana, his running mate of four
years ago, for the place. The contest
over the chairmanship Is looked for

the leaders and by the supporters of
several Presidential aspirants One of
the most interesting Developments
looked for is the stand to be taken
