BALTIMORE, June 29.-With
Governor Woodrow Wilson gaining
on each ballot and Speaker Champ
Clark constantly losing ground in
the race for the presidential nomina-
tion, the democratic national conven-
tion Mt 1905 o'clock tonight adjourn
ed until Monday morning at eleven
o'clock.
Twenty-six ballots had been taken
since the first call of the states and
there was no hope of a final verdict
tonight 1t was against all political
precedents for national convention
to sit on Sunday but tomorrow Will
be day of important conferences
among party leaders and day or
hard work for campaign managers.
Clark Is In Baltimore.
a-~hen the convention took a recess
tonight, Speaker Clark was hurrying
to Baltimore from Washington in re-
sponse to an urgent call from his
campaign director. William Jennings
BRYAN, at the afternoon session at
tackled Clark and said he would vote
for no man willing to accept the NOM
nation at the hands Of Murphy, Of
Tammany hall. 1t was the plan Of
Mr.. Clark to appear before the con-
vention and answer this. In this
way his managers hoped to bolster
the falling vote.
Breaking to Wilson.
The ballots today ran from the
thirteenth to the twenty-siNth, Will
son began at 356i y and ended at
4O7h, a net gain during the day of
81 votes. Speaker Clark began at
554 and fell to 46315, loss Of 9O1a
votes The anti-Clark leaders in the
convention called attention to the
fact that this almost exactly offset
the 80 votes given to Clark by the
New York delegation. Breaks to
Governor Wilson were coming from
many delegations as the balloting
closed. His managers believed that
once he had overtaken Speaker Clark
the switching of delegates would be-
come general.
The Clark forces plan to make
desperate effort tomorrow to win
back some of the delegates lost today
and in this work they probably will
have the personal direction of the
speaker himself.
The Wilson forces in the meantime
expect to fight, not only to hold the
gains of today, but to induce more to
desert lnt Olllfl Nhiihiht'NNS'
Stone Started Something.
Senator Stone of Missouri tonight
made n motion to eliminate the cam
didate receiving the lowest number
of votes on each succeeding ballot az
ter the twenty y-seventh, until one-the
winner--.was left in the race. There
was a storm Of objection and the sub
iect was pressed no further.
The Harmon delegates from Ohio
threw their support to Speaker Clark
on several ballots, but they did not
helm towards the necessary two-thirds
vote because of the gradual lnroads
made by Wilson. They then changed
back to Harmon and remained there
until the last ballot of the evening.
Foss Boom Started.
The great bulk of the Massachusetts
delegation deserted Clark tonight and
started a Foss boom. 1t created lit
tie excitement.
THE deadlock confronting the con-
vention is the most remarkable In the
history of modern politics. There was
no one in the convention today able
TO recall another instance In which II
had required anything like the num-
Der of ballots to nominate that $50 far
have been taken without result.
May BE Long Delay.
Having failed to nominate with the
week end 1t Is not anticipated that the |
delegates will hurry to a decision on
Monday and the fight may be pro-
longed for several days. The Clark /
people are still confident that enough |
of their delegates will remain steadfast |
to prevent nomination. Many of the |
delegates were hopeful that an early 1
decision might be reached, but the /
two leading candidates were tonight
