REFUSED To SERVE AS CHAIRMAN Of THE
PLATFORM COMMITTEE EVEN WHEN BEGGED
WILL FIGHT IN
THE CONVENTION
First Opportunity Will Be
Taken to Renew Contest
Lost Yesterday.

Baltimore. June 2e.-It was stated
today prior to the beginning of the
second session of the democratic ma
tional convention that Bryan. defeat
ed in the convention yesterday. has
determined to precipitate another
fight on the floor of the, convention
at the earliest opportunity. Bryan
has taken the ground that precedent
should he upset and the nomination
for the presidency should be made
before the platform is written and
adopted Some of the Nebraska's
callers today quoted him as saving it
was useless to write progressive,
platform If the conservative element
should control the nomina tion. Bryan
has been urged to write a platform,
but is said to he loath to havn any,
thing to do with that until he is sure
who the candidate will he. Some of
Rryan's friends say the request to
him to frame the party declarations
is an attempt to commit him in ad-
vance to the consequences of the con-
vention and to the nominee who
might he willing to accent the BRYAN
platform.
Whether the former candidate
holds this view of the matter has not
been disclosed.
1t was certain today as he left the
the hotel for the meeting of the COM
mittee on resolutions that he was full
of fight and had decided to wage a
war against the Ryans and Belmonts
to the end of the gathering.

CANDIDATE TALK
THICK AND CONFUSED

homlnating sessions expected to ba
neid tomorrow presidential eossip
fliied the air today. 1t seemed To ha
aamifted by all that Clark would 90
INTO the convention with distinct
advantase over ali other candidates.
Rryan's friends refuse 70 consider
him out of the running and saw his
defeat for the temporary chairman
snip yesterday was in no sense test
OF what his strength would be as a
presidential nominee.
BRYAN followers are hopeful that
the nomination fight may 20 to the
fourth or fifth ballot and think in
that situation many of the delegates
WOULD g" to him. The dark horse.
,alk Is more general TODAY than ever
that the New York delegation has de-
ternlined to vote for Mayor Gaynor
on the first ballot The evident pur-
pose of this is to get a test anaonn
the candidates and something Of
true line of the situation. Others
interpreted it as meaning that Gaynor
may be bound to the vice PRESIDENCY.
Tie Wilson people who stood by
srSan almost to man in his fight
lor tne temporary chairmanship arc
expecting his support in return when
it comes to nominating and appar-
emily base their hope Of success upon
some such action. 1t is realized by
all that the two-thirds vote necessary
to nominate in the convention could
be secured only by combination Of
home states of the candidates or by
a break" or stampede" Of the dele
gates. The various leaders are Arm
in their belief that there will be no
stampede and say they do not fear
even Bryan himself in that respect.

FIGHTING SHIPS
OUTSIDE NAVY
Are Used BY Shipping Pool
to Stifle Competition,
Says Nyland.

New York. June 26.-Further tes-
timony regarding fighting ships"
which steamship officials in the So
called shipping pool are alleged to
have used to stifle competition was
given today by c. H. Nyland, passen-
ger agent of the Holland-American
Steamship company. who was a wit
ness In the governments suit to dis
solve the alleged steamship trust.'
The fighting Ships" he said, "were
directed against the Russian. East
Asiatic, Northwest TRANSPORTATION
company and the Uranium lines, all
independent Of the defendant lines
accused of being members of the
pool"
The witnes gave as a reason for the
operation these fighting ships that
sometimes independent lines adver-
tised a certain rate and then reduced
this rate in an effort to take business
from lines charged with being in the
pool" Thus. said Mr.. Nyland. the
fighting ships" were brought into ex-
istence SO that these unexpected re-
ductions by Independent companis $
might be met. These fighting ships"
policy was discontinued in 1910. he
said.
