FEAR BRYAN WILL BOLT
Sharp Lineup Between DEM
ocratic Progressives and
Conservatives.

BALTIMORE, June 22.-Sudden fear of
William ]. Bryan boiling the Baltimore
convention and forming either fourth
party or a combination with Roosevelt
changed the Baltimore situation yester-
day.
With the fight between conservatives
and progressives growing worse. II de-
veloped that Mayor Gaynor of New
York has the political advantage Of the
situation and may yet be dark horse. !"
The conservatives are split into two
factions. Those who want to force Har-
mons nomination and give Bryan a
chance to bolt are one faction. The others
are those who want to nominate Clark
as a conservative" in the hope that
Bryan will have to support him.
Division in Wilson Camp.
1t has developed also that in the Will
SON ranks there is a split between those
who want Wilson to go to Bryan and
fight 1.-The field and those who want
him to take the middle of the road. Of
Tending neither Bryan nor New York.
which has ninety votes.
Gaynor's friends think that the fight
has gone so far even in this short time
as to put all of the candidates out OF
the running except Wilson. They are
hoping that Wilson may get into po-
sition OF disadvantage by some move.
The Wilson people are working to pre-
vent this. They realize the possibility of
dark horse and know Gaynor's pres
ent advantage.
Bryan May Yet Bolt.
At present the situation indicates the
following:
If the anti-Bryan conservatives can win
their fight, the nominee will be Harmon
and there will be a possible bolt by
Bryan.
If the conciliatory conservatives con-
troll, It means Clark. with possibility
Of bolt.
II the progressives can control, 1t means
either Wilson or Bryan, with no bolt
If the entire party can get together, 1t
means Wilson or Gaynor.
If Wilson can retain his present politi-
cal advantage. he will get the nomina-
ton; IL he cannot do this, Gaynor looms
up as the compromise and dark horse"
