The 'brightest and most powerful is the 3 gentleman from Nebraska. Col. Bryan i never intended to support the candidate of this convention unless that candidate were Bryan himself.

Stanchfield iclosed his address by saying that as to ".his own personal vote it was cast for -Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. He '.taid that his delegation is in favor of 'any candidate who is the strongest candidate for election. As the New York lawyer left the 1 stand a dove flew from the gallery and went directly over the heads of the : chairman and the speaker. "A dove of j peace," shouted a delegate with irony. Senator O'Gorman demanded a vote. '"T vote for Woodrow Wilson," he said. However Chairman James announced (that under the unit rule the ninety 'otesof New York would be for Clark.

The chairman from the ilowa delegation said the poll showed liVz Clark and 11 Wilson, but the vote held as a unit fonClark. i An excited delegate form the Kansas delegation demanded that the vote I of that Btarte be cast for Wilson. He jeaid that two-thirds of the delegates jhad been instructed that the vote be i so cast. The .delegation stood in their chairs, angrijy shouting for the poll. ; "Keep quietand you -will get it," said I the clerk. He finally got the delegates to order and the calling of Kansas started. The vote stood 13ito 6 in favortof Wilson.

It consists of a dainty lace and linen coat, full length, full carelessly over striking bloomers, which reach from an inch or two above the angle to the waist. Misi Capetillo's costume attracted so much attention that the busy avenue was congested with thousands of people and scores of automobiles and other vehicles. And matters became so bad that a policeman requested her to pin down her coat qs far as the knees at least, which she did.
BRYAN MS ANSWERED. i BALTIMORE, July 1 Delegates to
ithe Democratic convention this morniing came from their beds wondering what sort of a dark horse had been
tied outside the convention hall, waiting the inspection of the makers of presidential candidates. They faced a situation far more complex than had been found on any preceding day, with much to befog the long fight and little to clarify any of its details. Facing the twenty-seventh ballot, they saw no great gaps in any of the leading items of strength that had been in evidence when the convention dropped its pick and shovel to avoid a violent collision with the fourth commandment and the azure statutes of the commonwealth of Maryland. The pronounciamento from William Jennings Bryan in which he turned the limelight upon five possibilities other
the Bryan stamp." About this nest egg of conservatism there were banked such delegates as followed the Harmon and Underwood flags. Not all of them, to be sure, for many progressives were in both camps, but the major part of the two elements are markedly conservative. They claimed the balance of power and the ability to prevent any nomination that did not please them. Next came the Clark forces with the insistence that they had the essential strength to hold the convention without result until it could either win or retire with credit and flying colors. Hearst Raps Bryan. The Clark position was today stated with directness, and with much expression that shows the real sentiment of the Clark leaders, by William Randolph Hearst, who has been a prominent figure in the Clark campaign. After reviewing the campaigns of the past in which Mr. Bryan figured, Mr. Hearst said in a formal statement: "I came to this convention to support progressive principles and a progressive candidate and to oppose the political bosses and the privileged interests as I have always done and always will do. I came here to support the Democratic candidate, even though it were William Jennings Bryan, although I and every other friend of Mr. Bryan have come to know that he is never grateful for a service, nor loyal to a friend. The spirit which I felt seemed to me to be shared by nearly every other Democrat that I met at this convention, and this convention opened with Democratic prospects brighter than I have ever seen them before." He referred to the antagonism which was aroused at the Chicago convention, and charged that the Democratic convention had aroused even more bitterness, and added: "But into this convention has come a candidate with the greatest number of delegates, estimated by the direct primaries, which expressed the people's will. If this convention is a progressive convention, and if the watchword of the progressives is 'let the people rule, how can this convention
Following the Bryan statement in which he named Senator Kern, Senator-elect James, Senator O'Gormon, Senator Culbertson and Senator Reynolds, offering jossibilities for the dark horse honors, a statement which the Wilson ranks generally accepted as a notice that Bryan would not reinlist in their corps when his present voting term expired, the Wilson workers began telling New York that the support of that delegation would not be regarded as tainted. Wilson Men Elated. The Wilson people were elated over the prospects. They pointed to the gains they had made and said that the day would bring still larger accretions. Senator "Jim" Reeves, who was a NewYork state senator before he went west to get under the umbrella of a new state, Arizona, which has already sheltered him to the proximity of a federal eenatorship, said today: "My state has been voting six for Clark. I changed Saturday to Wilson. Three other delegates from Arizona will make the same change." The Wilson people actively worked on the Underwood delegations. They claimed that Mr. Underwood would shortly release his followers, and they counted fifty southern votes that they confidently placed in their column upon Underwood's withdrawal. Mr. Underwood's followers said that this might be all right on paper, but that they had no immediate intention of getting out of the way. They thought that they might as well count on some of the Wilson and Clark votes coming their wray. All hands joined in the statement that analysis of the list of dark horses taken from their stables by Bryan, showed that four out of the five were obviously not possible at this time. Various reasons were assigned for this view, which was so general as to make its mention essential to a proper telling of the news. Changes are Expetced. Changes are expected today, or at least during the evening, in the votes of Arizona, Maryland, Indiana, Iowa and Washington. The utmost interest

is shown in the votes of the Under-w-ood column. All sorts of dickers were made from the start of the day's work looking to the handling of this force. The declared determination of the Clark leaders to force Mr. Bryan to either prove or retract his statement with reference to a deal between the Clark and Tammany forces, promised to furnish the fireworks of the session if the program laid out was followed. The mathematical status of things at the time of the convening of the convention was practically unchanged. Three forces, aside from Mr. Bryan,
marched thither, each confident that it could either dominate the situation or prevent the others from doing so.
