Could Win by Refusing
New York support.

BALTIMORE, June william j. Bryan
disclosed tonight that John W. Kern Of
Indiana is the man that he would like
to see nominated for President. Mr.
Bryan in public statement suggests
Kern In the event that no arrangement

people and Speaker Clarks followers
which would be satisfactory to the pro-
Senator James Of Kentucky Senator
Culberson of Texas. Senator Rayner OF
Maryland and Senator O'Gorman Of New
York's men who would be entirely ac-
ceptable to the progressives.
While MIR Bryan mentions all of these
men. he clearly discloscs his preference
by placing Kern first and adding that
1T ought TO be easy to compromise on
a man like Senator Kern

Indiana Senator was Bryan's real
choice. and to-night's statement is ac-
cepted as conclusive proof. Bryan's
suggestion also Is regarded as indicat-
ing his belief that neither Wilson nor
Clark can be named.
Mr. Bryan's statement also contains a
nouncc his Willingness to rely entirely
upon the progressive vote and his de-
termination not to accept the nomina-
tion II given under conditions which

he will do II such an expression is not
forthcoming from the Jersey Governor.
