Champ Clark may again this afternoon get some votes that were switched to Wilson last night but his managers arc not quite so confident as earlier in the week. Underwood Tenacious.

Michigan Furnishes Sensation. Michigan furnished tho one big sen-nation sen-nation of the evening by switching a large part of its vole to Wilson. Some of this was returned to Clark on the last ballot. Ohio kept the convention In a fine feeling of suspense on sov-eral sov-eral ballots by asking repeatedly to be (l passed." Tho net result of all these mj'stcrious 11 passes" was a small gain for Wilson. Two Colorado delegates, instructed by their state convention to vote for Champ Clark until he personally rc-leased rc-leased them, broke away nnd voted for Wilson. Two Florida "delegates did likewise. I The night was marked by no big demonstrations. A well wielfled gavel, determination of the delegates to get through, if possible, arid waning strength among the convention shout-erg shout-erg all contributed to kcop tho applause ap-plause well within bounds. It was a night of restlessness and disorder, however. Delegates and visitors visi-tors were both restless and wanted to move about. j BRYAN 'MARPLOT,' H 54 YS STANCHFIELD, IN DENUNCIATION BALTIMORE, Convention Hall, July 1. Thcro was no band today in tho Democratic convention, its contract having expired, and the band stand was occupied by a group of Baltimore belles. A few minutes after 11 o'clock Chairman Ollie James called tho con-vention con-vention to order and tho Row S. Car-roll Car-roll Coal of the First M. E. church of Baltimore offered prayer. A cheer swept the convention hall as William J". Bryan entered nnd took his coat with the Nebraska delegation. He was smiling and held an animated con-versation con-versation with several dolcgates. Chairman James quieted the crowd. Thoodoro A. Bell of California was then recognized. Ho mndc a motion, that a committee be appointed to bo-cure bo-cure tho validation of return trip rail-road rail-road tickets held by delegates. The motion was adopted and the committeo appointed.

Illinois asked to be passed on this 1 balKt and Marshall's thirty in Indiana B remained intact. In Massachusetts Wilson gained five votes and tho Wilson Wil-son supporters cheered. When Missouri was called the ontiro delegation aroso and called defiantly, "Thirty-six votes for Clark." In Nebraska Clark gained a vote.

Stanchfleld of Now York. In explaining lils vote during the twenty-sevcruh twenty-sevcruh ballot, said In part: I come here from a state where the electoral vote Is Indispensably vital to Democratic success, If memory serves me well, only upon two occasions oc-casions In the history of our country coun-try has a Democratic president been elected without tho electoral vote of the stale of Now York. We represent repre-sent a population approximating 10,-000,000 10,-000,000 people. We cost in the neighborhood neigh-borhood of 1,760,000 votes. Wo represent rep-resent forty-five votea in the electoral elec-toral college to come, and I am speaking hero now In explanation of my vote in behalf of the Empire state, representing generally as It does one-tenth, of the population of tho United Stales. The delegation from New York would iyyd no defense except for what has been said upon the floor of this convention, If this delegation was composed of puppets of wax. as designated by the gentleman from Nebraska, wo say to that money-grabbing, money-grabbing, selfish, office-seeking, favor-hunting, publicity-hunting marplot mar-plot from Nebraska that they are actuated Mr. Stanchfleld was Interrupted by applause ap-plause from the delegates and the galleries. gal-leries. Quid having been restored by the chair tho speaker continued: If the ninety delegates from New York are within the control and the power of one man they are moved by wires of tremendous human voltago. Let us look for a moment and see whether or not the accusation of tho gentleman from Nebraska bo truo. New York's Record. New York has upon the roll of congress con-gress from the state of New York twenty-six members. Wo have the chairman of the committee upon appropriations. ap-propriations. We have the chairman chair-man of the committee upon foreign relations, and upon the fifteen great progressive measures that have been pending in the last congress, advocated advo-cated under tho leadership of Clark 1 and "Underwood, every vote of these Iwenty-six men has been registered In accordance with the progressive Democracy of today. The gentleman from Nebraska has said that no candidate can go forth from this convention with hope or expectation of success who has behind be-hind him the vote of the ninety men from New York, and I desire in reply re-ply to say that tho vote of New York Is vital to success. No man can go forth from this convention stigmatized stigma-tized and branded with Bryanism and come within half1 a million votes of success. Mr. Bryan has said that no man having the support of the New York delegation could be elected at tho $7 $ss" 4fVy- polls If he were under the Influence of Ttyan and Morgan and Belmont. He has stated that no man could be elected by reason of their, vote. I desire to say to him in behalf of tho ninety delegates from New York that there Is no man In the number who by his professional or hUGlness relations or otherwise Is under the influence of cither of them that he has named. Says Bryan Is Plutocrat. And when he makes the statement thxit these men Morgan and Ryan and Bc!mont arc plutocrats of this convention, he omits the name of ono who. of all the delegates upon the floor of.thla convention, has been the moat powerful of tho plutocrats, and he Is the gentleman from Nebraska. If the New York delegation Is to be prevented from voting for the candidate candi-date of this convention, then there ought, to be passed a resolution depriving de-priving of a seat In this convention a man who for pay has been working" work-ing" in favor from the Republican convention, of the election of Mr. Bryan's partner and ally, Theodore Roosevelt, and ought to be expelled from the floor. (Applause and hisses.) Colonel Bryan never intended to support the candidate of this contention con-tention unless that candidate should be Mr. Bryan himself. (Applauso and hisses.) Wo have heard for months gone by that Colonel Brynn, by his voice and influence, was supporting Woodrow Wilson In ono place, he was supporting support-ing Champ Clark In another, he was combatting Harmon here and Underwood Under-wood there, all of tho time desiring and Intending, in pursuit cf hla own selllsh ends; to produce (hisses and applause) all the while producing and intending to produce a deadlock dead-lock In this convention in order that lie might be tho recipient of the favors fa-vors of (his controversy.

When tho New York delegation delega-tion came to Baltimore to attend this convention we were voting under the unit rule and a majority of the New York delegation registered their vole In favor of Governor Harmon of Ohio. We supported and maintained thnt nomination so long as It appeared ap-peared to the majority advisable. New York next cast her vote in favor fa-vor of tho speaker of the house of congress because he was the strongest strong-est candidate- before this convention conven-tion (Cries of "No," hisses and applause) ap-plause) and the delegation today Is in favor of any and every man who can be the candidate and the nominee of this convention. New York "Sticks." Tn conclusion, Stanchfleld threw the convention into disorder with tho declaration: dec-laration: "I cast my vote for Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey." As tho poll proceeded, it became apparent ap-parent that Clark would again got New York's ninety votes under the nnit rule. Tt was generally believed that the vote had been challenged and the poll demanded for the sole purpose of enabling en-abling Stanchlicld to deliver his attack on Bryan. Of the four delegates at large, John A. Dix, Alton B. Parkor and Charles TP. Murphy voted . for Clark. Senator O 'Gorman voted for Wilson. Under the unit rule, New York's ninety went to Clark. Illinois, which had been passed in tho roll call, cast fifty-eight votes for Clark. The Illinois delegates filed into their seats while the poll of tho .New York delegation was in progross. Their .caucus resulted in a determination to fstand by Clark, for whom tho fifty-oight votes had been cast since the beginning of the balloting, Tho result of the twenty-seventh ballot was: Clark. 4C9: Wilson, 406; Underwood. 312; Foss. 38; Marshall, 30; Harmon, 29; Brs'an, 1: absent. 1.

It was referred to the resolutions committee without reading. read-ing. The twenty-eighth ballot, went as far as Indiana before any material shift was made. Then the convention went wild as Senator Shivery announced, "Kern 1. Wilson 29." When quiet was restored, a poll was demanded, but the demand was later withdrawn. The Indiana voto had heretofore here-tofore gone solid to Marshall. Aftor conferring with a number of friends, Mr. Bryan said it was unlikely that he would reply to the speech of Mr. Stanchfleld. It was reported that Senator Iaj'nier of Mnrj'land might seek opportunity to defend tho " progressives." pro-gressives."

Bell took the floor after a disorderly dis-i dis-i pute. to argue against casting tho vote of Kansas for Wilson. KauBas in Turmoil. The delegates were impatient and Boll was frequently interrupted. He agreed ' that the Kansas delegation could not shift to Wilson until two-thirds of the delegation delega-tion voted for Wilson. He asserted that thirteen was not two-thirds and contended i that twenty votes should go to Clark. Bell had troublo getting a hearing and , his argument was punctuated by jeers. "Sing it," shouted a delegate as ho neared tho conclusion. A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, the Wilson leader, answered Eell. Ho said that with only nineteen Kansas delegates on the floor, thirteen constituted two-thirds two-thirds of the delegation and their vote should control the state's votes. Ben Galtlzcl of tho Wilson men In the Kansas delegation asserted that fourteen of the delegates from that state had voted yesterday to desert Clark. Chairman James ruled that the two-thirds two-thirds of the delegation "meant" two-thirds two-thirds of the delegates present, and gave the twentv votes to Wilson. The result of the twenty-ninth ballot showed changes in the voto ol onlv throe states. It was; Clark, -Iffti; Wilson, 436; Underwood, 112; Fobs, 3S; Harmon, 29; Kern. 4, This gave Clark a loss of a half vote. Wilson a loss of one and one-half, Bryan lost his single vote and Kern gained three. Harmon Men Switch. The thirtieth ballot proceeded monotonously monoto-nously until Ohio was reached. Then ten of Harmon's 20 went to Underwood. Wilson's Wil-son's 19 remained Intact. Vermont gave up Foss on this ballot .and her S votes went to Wilson. The result of the vote put Wilson In the lead. Tho vote of Iowa, which had been pnssed, gave Wilson 14, Clark 12. Up to that tlmo tho entire vote of 2G had gone to Clark. When the vote was annotinccd a roll call of the delegation was demanded demand-ed and again showed Clark 12, Wilson 14. Iowa's vote as announced gave Wilson the lead for the hnllot with 400 votes.

When tho total voto of the thirtieth ballot was announced the Wilson followers, follow-ers, with their candidate for the first time In the lead, made a demonstration. The thirty-first ballot gavo Wilson trlfllntr gains early In tho roll. Wyoming announced that Its delegation, having determined that Clark's nomination nomina-tion was no longer a possibility, shifted to Wilson, a gain of 6 for the New Jersey Jer-sey governor.

"Sit still in tho boat," counseled tho senator. "Thoy (the Wilson forces) can t get two-thirds to save their lives." There was little change on the thirty-second thirty-second ballot. Tho result was: Clark 441: Wilson, 477J: Underwood, 103! Foss, 2S; ?Iarmon. 29;. Kern. 2; absent V This gave Clark a gain of one.

Wilson merely holding his total of the thirty-second thirty-second while Clark gained one from Underwood Un-derwood In Virginia. At the end of this bnllot the Champ Clark people revived their drooping spirits spir-its by displaying a big banner on which the following tribute to Clark from W J- Bryan In 1910 was printed in red: Bryan's Estimate of Clark. "I've known Champ Clark eighteen Z?ar5'r Ho '? absolutely Incorruptlblo and his life Is above reproach. Never In all those years have I known him to be upon but one side of the question and that was tho side that represented tho npo- ple. ' There was a cheer as the Mlssourlans displayed the banner above the delegation. delega-tion. It continued for soveral minutes. "Take It over to Nebraska and show to Bryan," shouted some one. No sooner was this said than the Mlssourlans Mls-sourlans acted on the suggestion. Then came trouble. Bryan arose and faced his tormentors for some moments. Several policemen hurried to his side and with them as an escort the Nebraskan fairly fought his way to the stage. "Is the Missouri delegation responsible for sending that banner to the Nebraska delegation?" lie asked. In the uproar which followed Bryan stood smiling in tho center of a shrieking, shriek-ing, excited mob of the Missouri delegation. dele-gation. Half a dozen policemen charged Into the crowd, "Anything against it. Bryan?" shouted a Missouri delegate, shaking his fist at the smiling Nebraskan. irrom tho aisle the policemen assisted the Nebraskan to the platform. Half a dozen hand-to-hand fights followed as the Clark men tried to carry their banner up on the platform plat-form behind Bryan. Police Unable to Restore Order. A score of policemen fought in vuln to quiet the shrieking, fighting mob. Chairman James hurried In and took the gavel from John E. Lamb of In-.dlana. In-.dlana. After five minutes of effort Mr. James, aided by the police, secured some semblance of order. Mr. James finally announced the beginning of the thirty-fourth thirty-fourth bnllot and Alabama had cu.'it Iter votes when Bryan, who had stood for several moments with the stolldncss of an Indian, was recognized. "Go on and vote," called a delegate, "slop him wo want to go home we don't want a speech. He's paid to stay here; we're not " Chairman James explained that Mr. Bryan had risen to a question of personal per-sonal privilege. Mr. Bryan then said: "I was seated in my delegation when a banner was placed In front of us. I asked those In charge of It to remove It. They refUFod. I went to tho Missouri Mis-souri delegation and asked tho chairman whether it had been sent there by the Missouri delegation. If that act was unauthorized un-authorized by the persons In charge of that banner I have nothing to Hay. but If that was done by the order of the Missouri delegation I claim tho right to answer the question thus propounded." Interrupted by Howls. A howl Interrupted him. "The chair regrets to rule that the gentleman from Nebraska has not stated a question of personal privilege." A cheer greeted this and Mr Brjan bowed and left, the stand. As he passed tho Missouri delegation former Governor A, M. Dockory stopped htm and disclaimed, dis-claimed, for tho delegation, any connection connec-tion with tho appearance of the banner. Mr. Bryan went back to his seat. The convention was a turmoil long after Bryan hud taken his scat. There were several fisticuffs among delegates and the big force of policeman had their handn full quelling tho outbreaks, but a new squad of pollen came In during the disturbance and when the balloting was renewed every ai3lc on tho floor was lined with bluecoats. Chairman James directed the police to arrest anyone attempting to carry a banner ban-ner of any sort Into tho armory. Thirty-third ballot, official Clark, 4174: Wilson. 1775; Underwood, I03j; Harmon, 29; Korn, 2; Foss, 2S, absent, J When Maine was reached on tho thirty-fourth call Its vote of twelve solid was cast for Wilson.

This showed a gain of two for Wilson. Clark remained unchanged. Underwood lost two. At the end of the thirty-fourth ballot Roger C Sullivan of Illinois moved that tho convention take a recess until S o'clock tonight. The motion prevailed by acclamation and at 5:15 the convention adjourned to S o'clock. Delegates Wearied. A weary, bedraggled, peevish aggregation aggrega-tion of delegates and alternates to the Democratic national convention drifted Into the convention hall tonight with a long, dreary night session in prospect. They confrontod the same monotonous grind of balloting that had continued from last Friday morning. Almost a full week of controversy between be-tween rival factions had soroly tried the patience and tempers of the delegates and tho crowd which gathered tonight was an Irritable and excitable one The tensity of the situation had shown Itself In a soml-rlot on the floor during the afternoon, when William Jennings Bryan found himself In the midst of half a score of fist fights. Police were warned to exert ex-ert extraordinary vigilance in the future. The slow, Vacillating rise and fall of the voto of favorite candidates throughout the day had Increased the steadily growing grow-ing bitterness of the last week and tonight to-night a match of offense, touched to the extreme, would have set tho entire convention con-vention ablaze. Awaiting a Break. It was on this situation that many of the leaders based a hope of a final vote and a nomination before tho night was over, They argued that the weary delegates dele-gates tried by a week of work would break from the hard and fast lines they have been holding and throw enough votes to one of tho-candldates to end tho agony of suspense Others contended that tho situation made Impossible an agreement agree-ment on any one of the candidates now before the convention. They pointed to today's physical clash between tho Cla.rk and Wilson forces as an evidence that the feeling between the two was so bitter bit-ter that neither would allow enough votes to go to the other to nominate. The Wilson forces, however, encouraged by their steady gain through the day. wero optimistic. They asserted that In time they would secure a majority of tho convention and then the delegates, ready to do almost anything to end the-struggle, the-struggle, would flock to the Wilson standard. stan-dard. Everybody "Sits Tight." Another attempt to reach some sort of agreement among tho leaders failed tonight. to-night. The so-called conservatives were In conference. National Chairman Norman Nor-man E. Mack, Charles F. Murphy of Tam-manv Tam-manv Hall, Col. George Harvey, Representative Repre-sentative John J. Fitzgerald of New York and Roger C. Sullivan of Illinois dlnad together. After the talk. Chairman Chair-man Mack declared that everyone seemed to be "sitting tight." "I do not believe cither Wilson or Clark can be nominated now." declared Mr Mack Just before the convention was called to order. The galleries wero crowded as the time neared for tho calling of the roll for the thirty-fifth ballot. They had been thrown open to the general public and Baltimore took advantage of the occasion. The calling of the session was delayed by the failure of the leaders to arrive. Chairman James did not reach the stand until S 20. A moment later he dropped Ills gavel and prayer was offered by the Rv. Clayton E. Ranck. His prayer was brief and it was vigorously applauded. Orders Doors Olosed. Chairman James ordered the doors closed to prevont further overcrowding-He overcrowding-He warned the galleries against disorder and declared that tho slightest evidence of a demonstration would result in tne Immediate clearing of any section. He then ordered the rollcall lor the thirty-fifth thirty-fifth ballot. , The rumored break in Illinois did not occur. Its fifty-eight stayed solid with Clark. The rollcall was Interrupted by the entrance of William J. Bryan, whose advent wns greeted by cheers. The break in the Michigan delegation came according to schedule, tho Wilson delegates cheering as tho vote was announced an-nounced "Wilson 27. Clark 3." This gave Wilson fifteen additional votes, taking them from the Clark column col-umn The steady gain which Wilson had been making all day continued on tho thirty-fifth thirty-fifth ballot, the New Jersey governor securing se-curing 15 votes net. Clark lost 14,' Underwood's Un-derwood's vote remained at 1011; Kern lost one. The thirty-fifth ballot resulted: Clark, 4335; Wilson. 4911: Underwood, 1011; Harmon, 29; Foss, 28; Kern, 1; absent, 1. Clark's Low Mark. Speaker Clark received only 4331 votes on this ballot, his low mark since the beginning of the contest. On the first : ballot he received 4401 votes and his vote Increased slowlv until the tenth ballot, when It bounded upward as the result of! Now York's votes going to him in a body. I After he received a majority vote, how-ever, how-ever, his forces struck a stone wall In thr j opposition of Mr. Bryan. Mr. Clark's I opposition openly boasted that tho Mis-1 sourlan s strength would disintegrate rapidly from the point where he had lost a part of his opening vote. On the thirly-sixlh ballot the change was Immaterial. Clark gained a single voto and Wilson secured two additional. I The thirty-sixth ballot resulted'. Clark, 434J; Wilson.

A cheer greeted greet-ed the senator as lie began presiding. On tho thirty-seventh ballot Clark lost two. Wilson s voto remained unchanged. Underwood trained two. The shift or two from Clark to Underwood was the only change on this ballot. Break in Florida. Tn Connecticut Underwood gained four from tho Clark column. When Florida was called a poll was demanded.

As the night wore on and ballot after ballot was taken, without result, the temper of tho delegates grew worse Kvery shifting vote, every demand for the poll of u delegation, awakened the bitterness that la behind the proceedings. proceed-ings. Hisses, half-hearted cheers and r jeers greeted tho few changes In each succeeding ballot A spirit was shown at times In the audience and the police were forced to remove offenders who became Involved In quarrels On the thirty-ninth ballot tho first break came in Colorado. Wilson was given one of the twelve Clark votes of the slate. While the Colorado delegates were Instructed to vote for Clark until "released by him," Chairman James held that there was no unit rule Involved and that tho delegates were responsible only to their people. The single vote was counted for Wilson. Illinois Firm for Clark. Just prior to the thirty-ninth ballot the Illinois delegation had a caucus on the proposition of allowing a spilt to Wilson. It was decided not to allow a break at that time, and on the thirty-ninth thirty-ninth ballot all the fifty-eight again voted vot-ed for Clark. I Iowa gave Wilson two more Clark votes, making tho state's vote: Wilson 1G. Clark 10. ' The Wilson people started a demonstration, demon-stration, but the tired delegates did not respond enthusiastically. Asnlsted by the police, Chairman Jamns noon quieted tho uproar. On the thirty-ninth ballot Clark had only 57 moro than the one-third one-third necessary to hold a vote power and prevent a nomination. In Wisconsin another vote went to Wilson from tho Clark column. The thlrly-nlpth ballot resulted: Clark 422. Wilson i'OU. Underwood 10G, Foss 28. Kern 1. Harmon 29. Wilson Above 500. This ballot put Wilson 11 voto above the 500 mark, and his adherents on.th. floor cheered mightily. Clark lost three to Wilson. Underwood's vote was unchanged. un-changed. On the fortieth ballot Clark regained one of the Iow'a votes which had deserted de-serted to Wilson In Ohio Wilson gained one of the original Harmon votes, giving giv-ing him twenty in the state to twcnJi' eight for Harmon. The fortieth resulted: Clark. 423: Wil son, 6011; "Underwood, 10G; Harmon, 28; Korn, 1; Foss, 28: absent, i. The only net change on this ballot was a gain for Clark of one, and a loss of one for Harmon. Wants Adjournment. Before Chairman James could order the forty-first rollcall a tired Alabama delegate dele-gate yelled: "T move that this convention adjourn until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." A. Mitchell Palmer of the Wilson forces demanded a rollcall, but the motion mo-tion was withdrawn, and the forty-first rollcall began. The forty-first ballot showed a loss of two for Wilson and a gain of one for Clark. The result of the forty-first was: Clark. 42-t; Wilson, 40D; Underwood, 10G: Harmon. 27: Foss, 28: Ivcrn. 1; Bryan. 1; Gaynor. 1: absent. J. When the vote was announced another attempt was made to adjourn, this time until li o'clock tomorrow. tomor-row. By the tlmo Maryland was reached on a rollcall on the motion to adjourn, a big vote had been recorded against It and H was withdrawn. Disorder Grows. Then. In great disorder, tho forty-second rollcall was begun. As the forty-second ballot proceeded the dlsordfr grew, until J. Hamilton I."wls of Chicago, who was In tho chair, had troublo enforcing quiet. The delegates dele-gates Insisted upon Joking Lowls and th convention roared with laughter when Iowa's vote was announced. "Twelve for Clark. 13 for Wilson and 1 for the Hon. J. Hamilton Lewis." It took IV-wls fee vera I minutes to subdue sub-due the uproar, but he finally announced; "Please hn as quint as Is consistent with your convenience, gcnltcmen. Lot the rollcall proceed."
