BALLOON BURSTS; FIVE ARE KILLED

Vaniman Craft Collapses in Test at Atlantic City. SUN CAUSE OF EXPLOSION Headless Body of Flyer’s Brother , Shoots From Car Into Sea, Is i Recovered Others Entangled in Wreck. Atlantic City, N J., July 3.—Melvin Vaniman and his crew of four men •'’ere killed here when his balloon, the Ykron, in which lie intended to make 1 trip across the Atlantic ocean, exploded hall' a mile in the air. Vani- 1 man’s home is Akron, O. •; When the accident occurred 3,000 j spectators stood too startled to utter 1 single sound. The big balloon was shattered by the explosion of the gas bag and blown to atoms. It was half a mile off shore over Absecon inlet. Four Bodies Not Recovered. The five men who disappeared in the explosion, and four of whose bodies are entangled in the wreckage, were: Melvin Vaniman, builder of the airship. Calvin Vaniman, ,his younger brother. - Fred Elmer, member of crew. Walter Guest, member of crew. George Bourtillion, member of crew. The cause of the fire and explosion is believed to have been expansion from the rays of the run, which had been up only a short time, when it heat apparently became too great for the gas within the bag. The dirigible was sailing at a height of 1,000 feet and had been in the air since 6:15 o’clock when the accident occurred. It was a quarter of a mile south of Brigantine Beach, which is across the inlet from this city. It burst near the middle. A -mass of flames hid the . ship from view-. For a Bpace of possibly ten seconds the half-mlllion-dollar dirigible was invisible, while the air about the spot where it had been hovering seemed to be all flames. The fire dissipated and then the ship, outlined against the sunrise, was- seen to fall like a plummet.

One Body Shoots Out. In the descent something which appeared to be the body of a man shot aut to the left of the wreckage and hit the water before the rest of the descending mass. It was reported that this was the headless body of Calvin Vaniman. Later a message was relayed ashore from rescuers that this body had been recovered. With it came the statement from Captain Lambert Parker of the Absecon federal life-saving crew that the other four members of the crew were entangled in the wreckage beyond reach for the present, in eighteen feet of water. Efforts are «to be made to drag them to the surface. Mrs. Vaniman in Collapse. Thousands of persons were gathered along the inlet, boardwalk and about the Vaniman cottage, Just across from the hangar, at the inlet, where Mrs. Vaniman collapsed from the shock. A physician is in attendance. Ll.

VILSON NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENCY ON 46TH BALLOT

rhomas R. Marshall of Indiana Choice for Second Place on Democratic Ticket. LONG STRUGGLE AT END Convention Completes Its Labors of Eight-Day Session and Adjourns Sine Die. NO FIGHT OVER PLATFORM 'lllnois Deserts Clark on Forty-Third Roll Call, Causing First Important Break in Deadlock and Other States Soon Follow—But Two Ballots Taken for t Vice-President. Convention Hall. Baltimore, Md., July 8.- —After nominating Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey for president and Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana for vice-president the Democratic na tionak convention at 1:55 a, m. today adjourned sine die after being in session eight days. The platform was adopted by a viva voce vote, no minority vote having been submitted. The nomination of Mr. Wilson came after one of the most sensational struggles ever witnessed in a national convention. It was a long fight. The convention was in its eighth day. The fight was between Speaker Champ Clark and Wilson. At one time Clark had more than half of the 1,088 delegates. Then Wilson began to creep up on him. On Monday Wilson passed Clark. When the convention convened the opening roll was the forty-third. Wilson’s nomination was accomplished in the forty-sixth ballot. The vote was: Wilson, 990; Clark, 84; absent, 2. Nomination Made Unanimous. It ,required 725 to nominate. This roll (call was finished at 3:31. The nomination was made unanimous two minutes later. The convention adjourned at 4:42 until 9 o’clock. There remained yet as the work of the body the nomination of a vice-presi-dent and the adoption of a platform. Tuesday night there was talk to the effect that the deadlock which had held for four days could not be broken. Some talked of a month's adjournment. This feeling was dissipated when Illinois was reached on the first ballot taken yesterday. Roger Sullivan arose and announced the ballot. “Illinois. 18 for, Clark, 40 for Wilson.” he cried. Under the unit rule the entire 58 votes were put in the Wilson column. The big break had come. It was the beginning of the end. 1 Michigan caught the spirit. She gave Wilson 28 and Clark 2. Other states as they were called helped some. Virginia, voting for the first time under the unit rule, gave her entire vote to Wilson. West Virginia Switches. West Virginia got in the game. She swung to Wilson with her 16, subtracting them from the Clark total which was now* quickly disappearing. The two chief rivals had started the day with this vote: Wilspn. 494; Clark, 430. When the first ballot of the day was counted it was found that Wllsop had gained 108 and Clark has lost 101.

Colorado came to the bat for Wilson on the next ballot. She switched nine votes from Clark to Wilson. Pennsylvania had been voting right along: Wilson, 74; Clark, 2. She gave the whole vote to Wilson. Utah followed suit, adding her eight votes. Wisconsin gave her 2G votes to Wilson, although half a dozen of the delegates had been voting for Clark. When the forty-fourth ballot was announced Wilson needed only 97 votes to win. This was the result of the forty-fifth ballot: Wilson, 633; Clark, 308; Underwood, 97; Foss, 27; Harmon, 25. v Underwood’s Name Withdrawn. When the forty-sixth ballot was about to begin Senator Bankhead of Alabama took the platform and said in part: “Mr. Underwood directs me, the humble instrument throqgh which his campaign is conducted, to withdraw his name. He directs me further to thank most sincerely those friends W'ho stood by him so loyally through this convention. “They can never be blotted from his memory. He authorized me to release from their obligation all of his friends who have been instructed to vote for him so long as his name Is before the convention. His friends are at liberty to vote for whom they please.” Clark Delegates Released. Senatqr Stone, the manager of the Clark campaign, then announced the release of the Clark delegates. “The delegates have stood by him so loyally," said Senator Stone, “that they will ever be remembered by him.” Governor Foss of Massachusetts

was withdrawn as candidate. Congressman Fitzgerald of Brooklyn hen set the match to the powder with zhis motion: “I move that we nominate by ac:lamation • that distinguished representative of Democracy of New Jersey, Gov. Woodrow Wilson.” This brought every delegation to Its feet with the exception of those from Missouri. Bryan sat in the Nebraska delegation smiling. Senator Reed of Missouri said: “Without the slightest desire to indicate any feeling of resentment against this motion, we must object to it. We want a roll call so that Missouri’s vote can be recorded on this ballot for old Champ Clark." The final ballot was then taken. The evening session was called to order at 9:34 o’clock. Delegates and visitors rose to their feet while Rev. Carlton D. Harris of the Southern Methodist church pronounced this invocation: “We pray Thee to let Thy blessing rest upon Thy servant who .on this day has been nominated by this convention for the highest office in the government.” Roll Call of States Ordered. The roll call of states for nominations for vice-president was then ordered The states were called to Idaho. Idaho yielded and H. H. Deane of Gainesville. Ga., nominated -Champ Clark, saying: ' “I move for the second time th£ adoption of a resolution for the nomination of Champ Clark of Missouri.” Dockery Declines for Clark. Former Gov. A. M. Dockery of Missouri was next presented to the convention. “Gentlemen, I appreciate the great honor paid to the greatest Democrat Missouri now has In public life. But I want to say that after more than an hour’s conference with the members of the Missouri delegation. Champ (•'lark has decided that he cannot accept the office of vice : president. I want to say that Champ Clark Is as loyal to the Democratic party as he ever was. With his own hand he penned a congratulatory telegram to Woodrow Wilson. “I want you to know that Clark occupies the same position that all the members of the Missfturi delegation does—we are for Wilson first, last and all the time.” Burke Placed in Nomination. Senator W. E. Purcell of North Dakota was recognized and presented the name of Governor Burke of North Dakota for vice-president. Samuel Alschuler of Illinois was next presented to the convention. He nominated Elmore W. Hurst of Rock Island. 111., a delegate-at-large. C. \. MartAies of Mount Vernon, Ind.. then presented the name of Governor Marshall of Indiana. Henry Palmer of lowa presented the name of Martin J. Wade of lowa. Kansas seconded the nomination of Burke. Louisiana seconded the nomination of Marshall. Alonzo L. Miles of Baltimore was the next speaker. Miles nominated' Mayor James H. Preston of Baltimore. A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania then asked that the convention give unanimous consent that the roll call be vacated while the resolutions committee be permitted to present the platform and that the vice-presidential nomination be taken up at midnight. Senator Kern of Indiana then began the reading of the platform. Bryan Predicts Wilson’s Election. Baltimore, Md., July 3.—William J. Bryan Issued a statement last night pledging his hearty support to Wilson. He predicted that WHsol would be elected president by a plurality of at least two millions, and that his majority in the electoral college would be very great. Mr. Bryan also urges that Wilson’s nomination is a triumph for the Progressives. Platform Is Adopted. When the reading was completed the platform was adopted by a viva voce vote. Resolutions of thanks to the national committee and temporary and permanent officers for , their services and to the city of Baltimore and people of Maryland for their hospitality were adopted. The roll call for vice-presidential nominations was then resumed. Will R, King of Oregon nominated Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon. The District of Columbia presented the name of William J. Bryan. The first demonstration of the night began. The delegates Jumped to their feet with cheers. After a minute Mr. Bryan rose on his chair and there was a volley of shouts.* The delegates would not be quieted. Finally he mounted the platform and made a brief speech in which he pledged his hearty support to Mr. Wilson and seconded the nomination of Burke and Chamberlain for vice-president. No Choice on First Ballot. The first ballot for vice-president resulted: Marshall, 389; Preston, 58; Chamberlain, 157; Hurst, 77; Burke, 305 2-3; McCombs, 18; Sulzer, 3; Wade, 26; Osborne, 8; absent, 36 1-3. Second ballot: Marshall, 645%; Burke, 387 1-3; Chamberlain, 12%. Burke’s name was then withdrawn and Governor Marshall’s nomination was made unanimous by acclamation. The convention at 1:55 a. m. adjourned sine die. ;
