Leaders Settle Down to Bitter Test of Endurance, There Being No Indication Indi-cation That Deadlock Will be Eroken for Days. Baltimore. After forty-two fruitless ballots, the convention adjourned at 12:40 o'clock Tuesday morning, just as far from the nomination of a candidate For president as it was when the first oallot was called in the early morning Sours of Juno 27th. When adjournment was taken it r-as sxpected that the delegates would re assemble at noon Tu.sday. The delegates want to go home, but none seem willing to give in a point to the other fellow in order to win the reward of an opportunity to go home. Two sessions of the convention were Dccupied Monday by fruitless balloting. ballot-ing. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey Result of Forty-tw Ballots. Ballots. ? '. ' 2 1' i r s t . .

Champ Clark showed loss after' loss. The Wilson vote kept adding recruits from the Clark list of delegates. On the forty-second ballot Clark showed some ability to "come back," ind the night ended with the vote: Champ Clark, 430; Woodrow Wilson, 194; Oscar W. Underwood, 104; Eu-;ene Eu-;ene Foss, 2S; Judson Harmon, 27. J. Hamilton Lewis, Ollie James and Mayor Gaynor of New York each received re-ceived one vote, and William Jennings Bryan received one-half a vote on the 3nal ballot. The general expression of the political politi-cal dopesters seems to be that Wilson aas reached the crest of his strength :n the convention. Champ Clark may igain get some votes that were switched to Wilson Monday night, but ins managers are not quite so conn-lent conn-lent as earlier in the week. The Underwood folks are hanging'on Baldwin received 32 votes on the first ballot and 14 on the next three, after which his supporters deserted him. Marshall received 31 votes on every ballot until the eleventh, when he lest one." He received no votes after the twenty-seventh. Kern and Bryan each received one vote on each ballot, until the fourteenth, four-teenth, when each received two. Kerns' high mark was in the seventeenth seven-teenth ballot, when he received 4. Bryan received 7 on the nineteenth. Gaynor one on the eighth, and ninth James one on the eighth, and three on1 the twentieth and twenty-fifth, while Sulzer received two votes oi the first and second ballot. Foss received 43 votes on the twenty-second ballot and 43 on the twen-I twen-I ty-sixth. On the twenty-seventh he received re-ceived 38, and on the forty-Second, 23. DELEGATE FROM COLORADO r V, -s 1 r - ' strength among the convention shout-ers shout-ers all contributed to keep the applause ap-plause well within bounds. It was a night of restlessness and disorder, however. Delegates and visitors visit-ors were both restless and wanted co move about. There was no band Monday in the Democratic convention, its contract having expired, and the band stand was occupied by a group of Baltimore belles. By the time the fortieth ballot had been concluded there was seemingly no hope of a nomination Monday night. The delegates sat. in a sort of stupor. The roll call clerks entered the vote mechanically, often without waiting for the responses from the various states. At the end of the fortieth ballot a tired Alabama delegate moved to adjourn, ad-journ, but when a roll call on the motion mo-tion was demanded by the Wilson forces he withdrew.it. Another attempt at-tempt was made to adjourn after the forty-first ballot and again it failed, j Champ Clark came over to Baltimore j during the evening and was a gueit at the home of Mayor Preston near convention hall. He returned to Washington shortly before midnight. Convention hall was almost stormed Monday night by thousands of persons who- were refused admission after Chairman James ordered the police to admit no one except delegates, alteiy nates and members of the press. When the order was issued the police po-lice were having trouble preventing crushes at the doors and in the stree.s around the hail. Within a few minutes min-utes the authorities were confronted with a situation so serious thit reserves re-serves were sent for and the crowds driven back from the doors. In front of the hall the street was roped off at each enlrance of the building and dov.-lle dov.-lle lines of police stationed across thj i ireets. Xo one was permitted through the:3e lines without a delegate badge and ticket or press badge and ticket.

New York and Illinois, the two big delegations which can practically swing the delegations and which figured fig-ured in at least a dozen different varieties va-rieties of dopesters in the convention, as to trades or bargains by their leaders, lead-ers, Charles F. Murphy, boss of Tammany Tam-many hall, and Roger Sullivan, are still sitting tight, voting as units aud for Champ Clark. Neither delegation early ear-ly Tuesday morning showed any indication indi-cation of breaking away to any other candidate. 1 The two sessions of the convention were hard gruelling affairs, character-; ized by little else than monotonous call of the roll of states and the never ending announcement of a vote which j did not nominate. i Michigan furnished the one big sensation sen-sation of the evening by switching a j large part of its vote to Wilson.
