Armory Building, Halt imore, Md ,
June 29 ? The Democratic National
convention was called to order at
4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and Immediately after order had
been restored, a second ballot was
taken, The result showed that
Clark had gained six votes, while
Wilson received seventeen votes
more than on the first ballot.
The third attempt at ?electing a
nominee resulted In a gain of five
votes each for Clark and Wilson,
while the fourth showed that one
of Clark's supporters had flopped
over to the Wilson way of thinking
At the end of the fifth ballot, as
there was no change In the position
of the contestants, a recess was de
clared tint il seven-thirty.
Immediately upon the convention
being called to order balloting was
resumed, and continued until three
o'clock this morning, a total of
twelve ballots being taken.
In the tenth ballot New York
swung its strength of ninety votes
from Harmon to Clark, which run
the latter's total up to 55C, while
Wilson's total vote at the end of the
session was 3?4.
It Is hoped that at the afternoon
session, some agreement may be
reached, and It is understood that
caucusses will be taken before the
convention convenes at one o'clock j
The IVmocratic platform is ready
to read as soon as the first presl- 1
t dentlal nominal In selected, and It
Is believed by the committee who
^drafted the name, that the docu
ment will appeal to Col. Roosevelt,
and cause him to abandon the idea
of a third party,
When the firat vote was taken af
ter the convention was called to or
der at one o'clock this afternoon,
the Nebraska delegation split their
vote, four going to Clark and twelve
to Wilson. Brean paved the way
for a bolt when he stated that he
and his delegation would not vote
for Clark as long as the N e* York
delegation supported the candidal
of the monled Imterests.
The fifteenth ballot was then
| taken and showed no change In the
I reeult.
The sixteenth and seventeenth
balloting showed no substantial
changes, and Chairman James will
probably advocate that the two
thirds rule be abrogated.
The National committee refuses
to make an attempt to smash the
deadlock.
