CONVENTION HALL, Hal v dinars, thine 29, Tlio democratic, national conven tion resnmed its attempt tliis afternoon to break llio dead lock preventing the noniina tion of a presidential candi date. Immediately alter eon veiling the thirteenth liallot was taken without result. It seemed to be generally accept ed that the choice under the two-thirds role was far off. It was reported that Chair man James during the day Blight advocate the abrogation of this rule. Senator Lea, floor leader of the progressives, asserted that the nomination would mean nothing unless made by two-thirds of the del Also that it would re two-thirds vote 1o the rules to permit a nomination, and Chairman James when asked aliont the report, said he had talked along the lines indicat ed bnt felt sure the nomination would be given (Mark in view of the majority vote received ' by him. He said if Wilson or any other man should at some bin receive a majority and fail of nomination, then it milil be necessary to change the rules and that the conven tion had power to do so. A Kiirtloii In the Congregation. At the conclusion of the fourt ballot Nebraska asked for a n elates. quire a suspend majority for and by (he people. I shall with hold my volet mm Clark as long as New York votes for hint." Baltimore, June 29. in an effort to break the presidential deadloek be fore (he national democratic conven tion, the national committee consid ered the ad inability early' today of meeting at noon. Soon after the con vention adjourned this morning, mem bers of the committee gathered to discuss the tangled state of affairs, to tind a way out of the difficulty ir pos sible and a man to lead the way. Sev eral champions of leading candidates were appealed to during the morning and Chairman Mack called a meeting of the committee. Subsequently the call was rescinded, however. That the New York delegation would stick to Champ (Jark for a total of 10 ballots was reported early today and this lnf"imaion steeled the de termination of Wilson. Harmon and Underwood leaders to stand with an unyielding front for their candidates in the hope that after the nineteenth ballott New York would desert Clark anil throw its support somewhere else. New York supported Clark in three ballots last night. According to a re ported agreement, Charles F. Murphy will cast the HO votes of the Empire slale for the speaker in seven more successive ballots. Then, If Clark has not reached Ihe goal. Ihev Will be transferred to some other man. This agreement is said to have' been made when Clark support was given Par ker for temporary chairman. Baltimore, June 29. Wearied with their second struggle, lasting practi cally all night, leaders and the main body f delegatei were late In mak- that the time had come to turn the Underwood vote over to Clark on the ground? chat the floor loader's chances were only slight in view of Bryan's opposition and that the logical nomi nee rit this hour w's Speaker ( lark. Whether the effort to swing the Un derwood vote to Clark would he suc cessful hovt'ever was a matter of grave doubt. Tammany Against Wilson. There is authority for a statement made today by a member of Tammany H ill and concurred in by .Clark lead ers that the New York vote will never go to Wilson, that Tammany Hall would prefer Bryan to the New Jersey governor. Harmon strength, now re duced to 39 on the twelfth ballot, is also looked upon a a possible acquisi tion tu Clark, for while the loyalty of Ohio to Harmon is undoubted, yet It was not expected to hold out indef initely with the Harmon total rapidly falling off. One thing seemed to be generally conceded that neither the Harmon nor Underwood forces would go (o Wilson. The hitter's strength appears to be concentrated in the pro-gre-.Hive and radical elements alreadv enlisted under his standard, with pros pects of eating into the more pro gressive branch of the Clark contin gent if the latter became restless with delay. The statement of William J. Bryan that (lie New Vork vote hurt Harmon's chances was di-cusscd generally today and it was urged by those opposing Speaker Clark thai this might applj also to the Clark movement. National Committeeman James Weathcrly of Alabama said today: "This is the most unemotional con vention I have ever known, No can didate has the right to refuse New York's vote. The time for such trans, cendentalism has long passed." t'lidcrwooil Men Firm. The prospect of a "dark horse" loomed up with Increasing force in case the struggle was prolonged and the names 01 Kern and . Uaynor were among those most mentioned. Thus far, however, there has been no or ganized movement toward any of the men In the background. Senator Bankhead of Alabama, chairman of the Underwood committee, declared with emphasis this morning that the Underwood forces would not go into the Clark or Wilson camps. "We have the key to the situation and they must come to us," he said. Baltimore, June 28. With resumption of the session of the national democratic session but two hours away the situa tion at 12 o'clock this afternoon clarified than New York to Stick to Harmon for Present. Most of the state delegations bad taken their places in the convention hall at 3:45. The gallery crowds already extend ed back to the last lier and promised to exceed in magni tude any of the former gather ings. Officials were gradual ly taking their places on the platform. The prevailing talk from the floor V'.diciied a. pro longed session ""vtith little ma terial change in early ballots. New York's delegation decided in caucus late this afternoon to slick to Jud,8;n Harmon on the second ballot and to Clark on the third unless unusual de velopments arose as to Under wood, Kern and others.

ROOSEVELT KEEPS CLOSE TAB UPON BALTIMORE Baltimore, June 29. Twelve bal lots for president had been taken without nomination when the demo cratic national convention prepared to reassemble at I o'clock today after an early morning adjournment, to go on with the voting. Unless confer ences whieh preeeeded the afternoon session should prove to have been more productive of results than those which had gone before, the existing deadlock may be Indefinitely prolong ed, causing the convention to extend into next week. The delegates are nearly worn out and are anxious to go home. In this hope lay the hope that the predicted break might occur early enough today to permit the nomination for president to be made with sufficient time left to name a vice president and adopt the platform before night. Never In the history of the demo cratic party has a candidate for ores- ident under the two-thirds rule who received a majority of the convention votes been denied nomination. Champ Clark received a. majority on the tenth ballot last night. Should he now fall to get the nomination a precedent will have been upset.

The balloting was continuing at an early hour this morning with the Clark forces outwardly confident: and the Wilson managers jubilantly claimed that every democratic candidate who ever reached a majority in this con vention always succeeded in eventu ally getting the required two-thirds. The results of the roll calls up to the ninth were discouraglnxly similar. N'ono of the leading candidates made any material gains or losses. Theie wa no change pf more than six votes in the totals up tn that time. The Steady gain of the Wilson vote had culminated wilh a count of 354 on the sixth ballot. On the seventh Wilson lost 1 votes.

T'nderwood gained a trifle. The leaders of the various factions hurried about the hall. The uir was full of rumors .of "deals'- and trades. A shift that would throw a deciding vote to one candidate or another was look ed for on every ballot by some of the delegates while others expected an all night session. New Vork Swings lo Clark.
