Baltimore, June 28—William Jen-I hings Bryan met defeat at the hands of the democratic national convention and in the oplnion of many of the party leaders here ellminated himself from the race for the presidential nomination. The vote by which former Judge Al- ton B. Parker of New York was elect- ed temporary chairman over Mr. Bryan—579 to 510—was interpreted to- night in many ways. The Champ Olark adherents are openly claiming the nomination and there were many at the comvention today who were in- clined to agree that it would either be Speaker Clark or a “dark horse.” Talk of Mr. Bryan had not ceased by any means. Some of his friends claim that today's vote was no test; that many of his most ardent supporters were compelled by circumstances to vote against him as temporary chairman. They claimed on the other hand that the vote of 510 given to Mr. Bryan indicated that he held a “veto” power in the comvention which put him in a position of dominance as to who should be the nominee.. The Connecti- cut delegation split, giving Parker 12 wotes and Bryan 2. Clark Delegates Against Bryan. Many of Speaker Clark's delegates | bpenly threw their support to the an- ti-Bryan forces. This was regarded as opening a breach between the speaker and the former nominee which may cause the Bryan supporters to make a bitter fight on Clark, Taken frem anothar the vote of so many of the Cldik ddherems for Judge Parker was interpreted as & distinct bid for the support of the comservative element in the convention. This conservative element, it may be stated, is practically prepared to ac- cept on roll call a progressive candi- date. They frankiy admit that to nmame a conservative or so-called re- actionary, would result in strengthen- ing the hand of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in his organization of a third party. This the leaders are an- xious to avoid. Wilson Men Line Up With Bryan. The turns of political affairs in the few days is regarded here as ving been decidedly favorable to Bpeaker Clark’s candidacy. The straight-out Wilson delegates today threw their support solidly to Mr. Bryan in his fight against Judge Park- er. This the leaders figured, would make the conservative element choose Clark in preference to the New Jersey governor as the progressive candidate. There was a report abroad tonight that the 90 votes of New York, a con- trolling factor in the situation, wouid o to Clark. This report was based ly upon the action of New York taday In voting against Bryan. The fact that the Missouri delegation also e Parker a mafority of its votes— 2 to 14—qulckly called out reports of 8 coalition of interests between New York and Missour{, Clark and O'Gorman Possible Ticket, This naturally led to talk of Clark for president and a New York man wice president, The man mentioned most prominently in this connecticn wae RBenator O’Gorman, There was talk tonight, alse, that the Underwond forces might eome Into this corabina- tion, the plan being that Undeewood should have the speakership of the house in the event of Mr, Clark's el yation to the presidency, Miost of the Undearwood states are sold to be against Mr, Bryan om eimost any whatever, Certain it was et most of thees states—loeated in solld south—voted wszainst Mr, an today, @ Clark peopls declarcl tonight wood ferees umited under the Spesk- #re banner, the latter would have more than the necessary number of votes to nominate, Leaders Recognize Progressive Spirit. It seems eertain tonfht frem the public actien of the delegates snd their privately expressed views, that tie democratic convention will nomisate a progressive candidate and adopt a pro- gressjve platfort, Some of the lead- ers frankly saig they resented Mr, Bryan's astumptien fe dictate rhe temporary chairmanship 4nd poeintad o teday’s vote In justification of thair views, Mr, Bryan, despite the effort 1o eliminate him, hewever, remains a may be given the authorily te write the platform. The demecratie leaders appear gen- uinely anxious te steike a winning ecombination. They say they are wili- ing to recegnize and defer to the pre- gressive element in the party amd the Progressive spirit of the time, There was pothing mere tangibie te the presidential situation tenight than talk and claims. James Predicts Clark's Nomination, “The resuit of the bailisting en ti temporary chairmanship today” said Benator-eieet Oilie M, Jm:% of Kgn: tucky, “means but one thing—that Clark will be nominated en the first ®allot.” s Mr. James was discussed tonight as the probable permanent chairman of the convemtion. Phis i§ in line with the policy of the comservatives to Pplacate the progressives, now fhat they have defeated Mr. Bryan. Aside Trom this Mr, James received the sec- ond lurgest v in the national cpn- vention on the guestion pf the selge- tion of a temporury chademan and this prdinarily would eutitle him (o favor- #blp cousid ivn for persiancat pre- siding officer, s choice would alse be further evidence pf the Clark strength In the convention. Bryan Failed to Stampede Gonvention, Those who argue against the pos- ' sibility of Mr. Bryan being named de- clare that he had his say in the con- vention today and_failed to stampede it. Mr. Bryan freguently was inte: rupted in his remafks and it was re- garded as doubtful tonight wh¥ther he would get another hearing on any is- sue involving himself. Mr. Bryan claimed thagight to speak today on the ground that in three pres. | idential campaigns he had borne aloft the banner of democracy as its presi- dentlal nominee. Now that the fruits of victory were at hand, he said, he should not be denied an opportunity to repoice with his party. The democratic party, “a pillar of fire by night for the plain people,” now that the dawn had come, should, he declared, be made “a pillar of clouds by day Mr. Bryan made another point which elieited un- bounded enthusiasm from his hearers. He declared that the sinister influ- ences which had been at work in the republican national convention at Chi- Cago were operating even more braz- enly at Baltimore, But, he added, the democratic party could not be run by the Ryans or hought by the Belmonts. ’(‘L;lr, Bryan's speech is printed on Page Kern Asks Parker to Withdraw, Mr. Bryan plainly was under stress as he made his plea to the convention to turn down the Wall street interests which, he declared, were represented in the selection of Judge Parker as temporary chairman. He advocated Senator John W. Kern of Indiaz .3 chairman, The latter, texink the fioor from the Nebraskan, dramatically called upon Judge Parker to withdraw with him from the fight, and in the interests of harmony to throw his sup- port to any one of half a dozen pro- gressives named by the Bryan sym thizers. There was no immediate ll":: sponse to the open challenge in the convention and Mr. Kern declared as it was a fight to the death between the interests and the people, Mr. Bryan was the only person fitted to bear the brunt for the people. In behalf of Judge Parker it later was stated that, as he had not sought the office at the hands of the national committes and had taken no part in the fight, he felt he had no right to withdraw. Bryan Awaiting Developments. Mr. Bryan left the convention hall by a rear entrance goon after the vote on the temporary chairmanship was announced and resumed conferences in his rooms. Tonight he said: “The vote in convention shows the attitude of the convention and my speech shows my views on the sub- ject. I have no statement to make. I ?lwsxt dxevdelopmenls without impa- ence, o not know of anythis needs to be added.” TEe e The Nebraskan did not attend the night session to hear Judge Parker's speech, but remained In his rooms to attend to correspondence and confer with friends, Later Mr, Bryan pur- Dosed joining in the deliberations of the platform committee, 2 Bryan Silent as to His Plans, Mr, Bryan apparently was in cheer- ful humor, He earefully refrained from giving any suggestion as to his futurg course of action in the conven-~ tion, ou carry on the fight for the progressives on the floor of the con- vention?" he was asked, “I heps to be at the convention, but 1 do not _care to outline my pro~ gramme,” “Would you care to make any state- ment of any planks whieh you will propose ?” “No,” "Have there been any requests made upon you frem western delegates for any partieular plans?

Gaynor Mentioned for Second Place. Mayor Gaynor of New York was talked of late tonight as a possible running mate for Champ Clark in the event of the latter's nomination. For the permanent chairmanship, Senator Culberson of Texas and Sen- ator Kern of Indlana were discussed in addition to Mr, James, but opinion generally seemed to center on the lat- ter. It was said the conservatives were Nld'i to throw their support to any man the progressives might decide upon, PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL. Bryan for His cism, Baltimore, June 25.—A rapid-fire, routine session tonight closed the first day of the democratic convention which began with the defeat of William Jennings Bryan for temporary chair- man this afternoon. Scenes of disor- der on the floor which made further proceedings impossible compelled Alton B. Parker to suspend his keynote speech and forced tonight's session. Tonight the delegates on the floor gave earnest evidence of their desire to do everything in a hurry and get away from Baltimore. The leaders had planned to adjourn the session tonight until 2 o'clock and have the commit- tees which were appointed tonight meet at 10 o'clock in the morning. But the delegates would not hear of this plan and disorderly protests from the floor forced an adjournment till noon and advanced the committee meetings so that they were ordered to meet im- mediately after the sessions. The dele- gates were very excited about hurry- ing things along. A voice from the floor during the discussion announced: “We have no Perkins to pay our bills. The completion of Judge Parker's speech and the naming of the conven- tion committees was the sum of the work of tomight's convention. Wil- llam Jennings Bryan did not appear in the coivention hall during the evening. His failure to be on hand resulted in an almost immediate adjournment of the resolutions committes which met after the session in responss to the delegates’ demand for speed. It was practicaily certain that Bryan would be elected chairman of the committee, The other committees got together im- mediately for organization. Little Interest at Evening Session. But a scattering attendance had .ri- peared in the galleries at 8 o'clock, the hour et for the convening of tha con. vention, and there were hundreds of vacant seats in the delegates’ sections, The"delegates who wers in their seats gathered in little groups and a hum of conversation swept the hall. band was anxisus lo pleas and driticd {rom “MGonlight Bay” to the overturs from “William Tell” Shortly after 8 o'clock the secretaries and stenographers took their places on the platform. Scattered handelapping greeted Chairman Parker as he made his way up the middle aisle through the groups of delegates. The heat s00n began to have its ef- fect, and delegates and spectators stripped oc their coats and rolled up their shirtsleeves, ready for the night's work. At 8.15 Norman E. Mack climbed the stairs to the stage and conferred with Parliamentarian Crisp and Judge Parker. Delegates Repeat Lord’s Prayer. The delegates began to crowd in about 8.20 and in a few moments the aisles were in confusion. The ser- geants at arms tried in vain to get the delegates seated. Many of them ‘waited to visit and converse, and they thought the aisles the proper place to do it. Finally four policemen were placed in each aisle to keep the crowd moving. At 8.25 Chairman Mack dropped his gavel and the night session was on. The Rev. W. M. Dane of Baltimore then delivered the prayer. In conclu- sion he led the assembly in the Lord's Prayer. “The congregation will join in the Lord’s Prayer,” he maid, and the “congregation” really did. A murmur that grew louder and more confident as the familiar words went on rose in the big hall and the whispered “Amen” ‘was full throated and loud. Mr, Mack Introduced again Judge Parker, and the temporary chairman resumer his spesch which was this af- ternoon interrupted. In opening. Judge Parker commented on the republican convention at Chi- cago, where he said the words “lar, corruptionist, traftor and thief” were freely used. Judge Parker Forgives Bryan, “We will have nothing like that In this convention,” he sald, “We had a littls difference here this afternoon, but there was nothing sald by anyone in that difference that was Intendsd to be severs, If I thought that the chief speaker teday wes a little bit harsh, I remembered the three great struggles he made for the democratic party in this eountry.” A burst of applause and a shout of “Bryan! Bryan!” interrupted the speaker, "I'reaflze that this meant much to him,” eentinued Mr, Parker, “and if he was mistaken in regard to my posi tien 1 believe it is your duty and mine te forgive it and to stand with him, “There is one place whers he fs wanted, where he is capable of render. ing great servics, That is the chair- manship of the resolutions committee, T hope and believe that every member of that eommittes will honer himself by easting his vote for Mr, Bryan for chairman.” “No Perkins to Pay Our Board.” When Judge Parker referred to the demoeratic tariff bills thers arpse a shout of “linderweod] Underweed!” In reply came a yell from ths Clark sup- sl_v:t?‘rsz “Champ Cark is the boy that “Well, I'm not golng inte that,” sald Parker with a smile, and went on with hisospeseh, R motien of George W, Greea of Rhede Island the usual ecommittees WweFe provided for.
