having Withdrawn Gov. Burkes name.
Gov. Wilson himself was strongly in
favor Of having Champ Clark take sec
ond place on the ticket. Efforts were
made early in the evening by the lead
crs to get Mr., Clark to accept, but the
announcement was made on the floor
Of the convention that he would not
take the place.
The Democratic leaders wanted Clark
to accept the place, because they be-
lieved that the adding of his name to
the ticket would make victory abso-
lutely certain.
Others Are Named.
fillmore Hurst, merchant OF Rock
Island. H.; Mayor Preston Of Balti-
more. Md, and Martin j. Wade Of Iowa
also had been put In nomination. Judge
Wade withdrew his name.
Gov. Wilson's nomination came with
a suddenness that amazed the Demo-
cratic leaders. The Hopping Of Illinois,
West Virginia and Virginia to Wilson,
together with the releasing Of oil
Underwood delegates from their In
structions. turned the trick.
What had previously been a gathering
Of discord and bitterness was turned
almost in a twinkling into a convention
with every scmbance Of harmony. All
the warning factions. including Tam
many Hall and the New York State del
egation, finally dropped In behind Will
son and announced that they would give
him loyal support. Charles F. Murphy
held New York's ninety votes from the
New Jersey Governor until the last bal
lot. and former Senator James Smith Of
New Jersey persisted In casting his four
against Wilson up to the time that his
nomination was declared and unani-
nous consent motion was proposed.
