WILL WIN TODAY
 OR NOT AT ALL <. KERN'S IDEA OF WILSON

Fifth Regiment Armory, Baltimore, July 2.-The positive claim that. as a result of their mornings canvassing, they had pledges from delegates suf- ficient to raise the Wilson vote in excess of the 600 figure. was made by the Wilson managers, just before the convention was called to order, today. Included in the states claim ed were Massachusetts and Illinois.
 The Wilson managers said that the action of the anti-Bryan managers in endeayoring to effect a coalition of the Clark and Underwood forces so that the latter might be nominated, had had the effect of swinging many heretofore non-committed delegates into the Wilson column.
 This will be a Wilson day." said Senator Maritime of New Jersey. We have the votes and we intend to nominate. the governor and get away from here not later than Il tonight
 Senator Kern, of Indiana, the lead ing "dark horse'' candidate, said:
 Wilson will win today or not at all He is expected to show his greatest strength today. After today his men can hardly be held in Iine.''
 Senator Luke Lea, of Tennessee, said:
 Wilson will, I believe. go over the 500 mark, today. I wouldn't venture to predict that this will be sufficient because nobody can tell what will happen if Wilson has such an expres- sive vote as that. We cannot tell how the minority would face such a situa- tion."

a fatality.
 The boys, Edwards Duncan, aged 10 and a little playmate years old were driving single horse attached to a delivery wagon east through State street, when near Howard ave- nue the horse took fright and got be- yond the Duncan boys control.
 Screaming with fear the youngsters attracted the attention of many ped- estrians and bore quickly down on the team of the Bridgeport News Co., driven by Jacoby and approaching from the opposite direction.
 Jacoby stopped his horse quickly, leaped into the street just as the horse dashed by, and racing desperately in the same direction he managed, to get a firm hold on the tailboard of the runaway wagon. He climbed in. pill ed over the seat, and snatched the reins from the Duncan lads hands in to time bring the horse under con tro1 as it was about to crash into ar automobile drawn against the curb
 Captain Redgate of the Third Pre- cinct station was an eye witness of the lads bravery. having heard the screams of the children as the horse in time to bring the horse under con mended Jacobly highly, and sought the brave fellows name. Jacoby modestly disclaimed all credit, and but for a chance acquaintance in the crowd his identity would not have been disclosed.

 Grim and determined in their vot- ing, tired out by the long sesson, the delegates are never slow to enliven things by little "horseplay."
 Not a. day passes that the Honor able J. Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago. he of the pink whiskers, is not called on by Chairman James to handle the gavel And the delegates are having their 6Un with 'J. Ham,
 carefully nurtured boomlet was started for the Chicagoan last night, one delegate from Iowa voting for Lewis because, he explained later. he liked the color of Hams whiSkerg. and because all dark horses elected in hts- tory had some sort of weak 1mtta- tions of Lewis beard. Lewis face got as pink as his whiskers when the vote was cast for him and raising an elegantly jeweled hand he covered his bushes
 When Lewis is in the chair some one always starts a disturbance just to hear the Chicagoan's molulent tones strike on the air: Let there be or aisle. let the roll call proceed" he said with one hand delicately brushing the air.
 They are counting Lewis costumes now. Already he has changed his suit at least twice daily and as far as anyone can remember, hasn't worn the same suit twice.
 Chairman James is the very antithe- sis of Lewis He hasn't any frills, being a brobdingnagian for simplicity. He has already splintered a square of oak two inches thick, banging it with his gavel.

The point where the balloon fell is about half a mile from the nearest solid ground. Rescuers immediately went out in boats but had difficulty in getting at the bodies which were evidently still under the Akron's frame. One body was taken out at o'clock but 1t was badly burned and mangled so that it could not be identified at the time. It was taken into a boat and started for the city.

Not only is the natural setting of the
place beautiful, but here are found whole

are fired with a vision of work to be done
and the delegates are anxious for a
knowledge of the work to do. Ten days
are spent in informing delegates of the
new phases of work and plans for infus-
