Baltimore, July 1. John R. Stanch
field, of New York famished the sen
sation of the early convention hours
today, when while the twenty-seventh
ballot '.vm being taken, he 'asked per-
mission to explain his vote, and used
the opjiortunity to launch the bitter-.
- e-t attak upon William J. Bryan'
heard during the present convention.!
Stanch tiolc'.'A attack was mande in an-1
swering what he termed the "insults" ,
offered New York's delegates by Br-y-
an in ill a vnntrnvarav BTOWlLlir out of
the passage of the Ryan-Belmont-Mor-gan
resolution.
" New York has a right to be heard
on the floor of this convention," re-:
turned Stanchfleld. "The integrity,
of every delegate from New York has
been impugned and insulte'." $
Stanchfleld analyzed the personnel
of the'New York delegation, declaring
it includes jurists, lawyers and busi- ft
ness men of known standing. ft
"It is by common consent the most ft
representative delegation that ever ft
came to a national convention from ft
- New York.
"If these be the 'pupetg of wax'
that Mr. Bryan refers to, we say to
that monev-erabbinir, office seeking,

Stanchfleld could not finish the sen-
tence. It was drowned in a burst of

WOODROW WILSON, DEMOCRAT
FORTY-TWO BALLOTS
TAKEN LAST NIGHT.
Still No Nomination Convention Ad
journed Till 12 O'clock Today.
BaltimoreJuly 2, 1 a. m. The
deadlock in th Democratic natioual
convention over a presidential nominee
seemed more complete than ever wben
adjournment was taken at 12 :43 until
noon today. Woodrow Wilson had
made steady gains during Monday's
balloting until he reached a nign wat
er mark at 501 1-2 votes on the thirty-
niutn DailOt. lie remainei aiauuunrj
on the fortieth ballot and then began
to lose ground. The last ballot was
the forty-second, when Governor Wil
son polled 494 votes.
Speaker Champ Clark readied tne
lowest ebb of hia candidacy on the
ballot where Wilson reach-d a crest.
He went down to 422 votes at that
time but immediately began to pick
up and had gone to 430 when adjourn
ment was taken.
Speaker Clark came over to Balti
more during the evening and was the
guest at the home of Mayor Preston,
near Convention hall, tie returned
to Washington .shortly before mid
night. ,
, AlmoLtf a full week of - controversy
between rival factions had sorely tried
the patience and tempers of the dele
gates and the crowd which gathered
tonight was an irritable and excitable
one. The tensity of the situation bad
shown itself in a semi-riot on the
floor during the afternoon when Wil
liam J. Bryan found himself in the
midst of half a score of net fighters.
Police were warned to exert extra
ordinary vigilance in (lie future. The
slow, vacillating rise and fall of the
vote of favonte candidate throughout
the day had increased the , steadily
growing .bitterness of the past week
and tonight ti match of offense, touch
ed to the excitement, would have set
the entire convention ablaze.

ROOSEVELT'S THIRD PARTY
PLAN MEETS REBUFFS.
Progressives "Up in Air" Since Chi
cago Convention And Don't Know
Where to Alight
Washington, July 1. Since the
Chicago convention the insurgents
have been "up in the air." They
find difficulty in sighting from their
present position a desirable place to
alight. One by one they plan to take
a drop on one side or the other of
the party fence, and thanks to the
high winds which have been blowing
over Baltimore tor the last week they
find a chance to delay the descent.
There are hardly two of the pro
gressive Republicans in Congress who
adhere to the same idea. The third
party movement is discussed, but eon
verts to the Colonel's plan for a
wholesale desertion of the national
Republican organization are not yet
numerous.
Representative Victor Murdock, of
Kansas, at one time the leader of the
insurgent movement on the floor of
the House, is in Baltimore serving
with the "semi-pro" squad of news
paper correspondents. He is too busy
with his newspaper work ,to give the
attention he would wish to the new
party movement, but will make a
statement after the convention.,, I
He is between the "devil and the
deep sea," so far as his political po
sition is concerned, but is expected
to line up latterly with Governor
Stubbs.
Underwood Confident He Will Be
Nominated.
Washington, July 1. 'I am not
going, to Baltimore unless they send
for me to approve the piatrorm,"
said Representative Underwood of
Alabama tonight. Mr. Underwood's
friends at the Capitol said they ex
pected him to go tomorrow: The Ala.
bama. candidate expressed satisfac
tion over the developments at Balti
more today. He thinks Governor
Wilson can not gain many more bal
lots and is hopeful of the balloting
continuing tomorrow, being, , firm in
the belief that there will be no nomi
nation tonight. Mr. Underwood in
sists be is in the race to stay.

Clark Bitter Against
Washington, July 1. Representa
tive Underwood will not accent the
nomination for the Vice Presidency,
Gov. Wilson's friends tried today to
induce Mr. Underwood to swinr his
votes to the New Jersey Executive
and to accept the second place on the
ticket. They failed.
"I would rather represent the ninth
Alabama district in the House than
be Vice President," Mr. Underwood
said tonight.
"I do not want the position. And
'as I do not want it I would not go
mrougn a campaign to get it."
Speaker Clark's resentment atrainst
W. J. Bryan ia bitter. He made lit
tle attempt to hide it. While he has
made no public utterance to that ef
fect, those close to Mr. Clark say he
feels strongly against Representative
Underwood. Mr. Clark never took
the Underwood candidacy seriously.
He expected the hundred-odd dele-
gates held by the House leader to I
jump to his column when they were
needed. When the critical moment
eame his friends made urgent ap-
strength,
When the New York vote was turn-
ed to Clark a combination with the
Underwood vote would have totalled
almost 700, but Mr. Underwood po
litely informed the Speaker's friends
that he would not switch.
