SR — e — ~VOL. LIV.—NO. % DEMOGRATIC MUDDLE GROWS WORSE Party Leaders Declare That Théy See No Immq- diate Prospect of CANDIDATES CAN'T BE Breaking Deadlock INDUCED TO WITHDRAW Conference Called by National Chairman Mack to Clarify the Situation, Fails of Its Purpose—Clark Managers Issue Statement With Idea of Stemming the Tide of Desertions From Speaker’s Forces—Bryan’s Attack Has Weakened Clark and May Hoodoo Wilson—Underwood Manager Insists That Alabama Congressman is Logical Candidate. Baltimore, June 30.—FHope of nomi- nation on the 27th dballot for presi- dent was practically abandoned by democratic leaders tonight. When the national convention adjourned for Sunday it was believed that some so- lution of the long deadlock would re- ®ult from conferences between the champions of the three leading candi- dates, but it developed that the time had not arrived for the withdrawal of either Speaker Clark, Govermor Wil- son or Representative Underwood. Tt was not expected that the first ballot tomorrow would materially differ from the 26th. Campaign managers possi- bly might have reached some ugree- ment If interest in the deadlock had not been dwarfed by the con- troversy developed between William J. Bryan and Speaker Clark. The visit of Mr, Clark to Baltimore and his arrival 100 late to attempt vindication of him- melf before the convention overshadow- ed everything else as a subject of Sun- day gossip. Bryan Weakens Clark, Hoodoos Wilsen of Saturday was declared at headquarters to be problematical. Deny Deal With Tammany. One of the results of Speaker Clark's visit was to bring together his princi- pal campaign directors in ome group and his leading supporters in 26 states in another to issue formal denials that any deal was made with the New York delegation or the Tammany interests as to the selection of Judge Parker for temporary chairman in the contest against Mr. Bryan. The “Champ Clark advisory commit- tee” met late today and issued the fol- lowing statement: Statement of Clark Advisory Commit- tee. “The statement that the manage- ment of Speaker Clark’s campaign ‘worked like beavers for the nomina- tion of Judge Parker for temporary chairman’ is absolutely untrue. Clark’s support was divided between Parker and Bryan. It could not have been controlled either for Parker or Bryan Party leaders mny‘:ul the po- sition, notwithstanding ti Missouri- an's impassioned denial of Mr. Bryan's imputation, that he was ociden to Morgan, Belmont and Ryan, that he would ‘be unable to regain the votes he had lost. At the same time many of them thought that sympathy for Mr. Clark and the imevitable Ilinking of Bryan and Wilson n the minds of del- egates by reason of the New Jersey candidate having been the beneficiary of the votes turmed away from Mr. Clark by the Nebraskan's phillipic had injured the chance of Wilson's nomi- nation. Bryan Thinks Clark Misled. Mr. Bryan tonight issued a Jong statement saying that he believed Mr, Clark was right at heart, but had been misled. The stitement was varlously interpreted, some taking it as a direct ipvitation to Mr. Llark to repudiate the aid of the New York delegation. Severa| statements mere fssued from Clark headguarters upholding the speaker's position relative to Mr, Bryan's attack upon him. Clark Has Gore His Limit, The situnation as seen by leaders not Wsmociated intimately im the manage- ment of any of the campuigns seemed tonight to be about as follows: Clark having failed of nemination for 17 ballots after receiving a major- ity vote, pussibly had reached the crest of his strength. Wilson, though climbing steadily, apparently was bitterly opposed by delegates who resented the gemeral impression that Colonel Bryam had the veto power, though he lacked the votes necegsary (o comtrol the nomination. The delegates believed that the New Jersey governor would continoe to gain even to the point where he had 2 ma- jority, but that he cowld not bresk| down the Clark strength whirh was| #aid to be determined that PRryam #hould not win through a combinafiem of any kind. Underwood May Be Taken Up Should Clark and Wilson fafl om the next two or three ballots. it wes pre- dicted tual there would be a turn to Representative Underwood, whe had held his normal yote fromr¥irst to last, Underwood forees were watehing for just such a contingency and claimed to be prepared to take foll advantags of il. Whether the Alabama candidate could win or not was the subject of much speewlation, but outside of the delegates who had voied for him on the 26 baliots there did not appear 1o be much enthusasm.

The attitude of the Indiana delega- tion has been the subject of much specalation this afternoon by the Clark and Wilson managers. It was learned that the Indiana delegates will con- tinue to cast their 30 votes for Gov- split up and some of land in the camp of the Indisna governor. The Indiana folks said tonight that Governor Foss of Massachusetts had been tho: tried out as a dark horse last night and that he had developed no strength after several ballots. They argued that sooner or later a move to bring Governor Marshall to the front would be logical. May Boom Marshall for Vice President In the event, it is clearly shown, that the convention will not turn to Marshall, the delegates, it was said, will cast their ballots for whoever they destre. It was sald late today that 26 out of the 30 Indiana delegates would go to ‘Woodrow Wilson, and that after they had voted for the New Jersey governor they would inaungurate a movement to have Governor Marshall named as vice lent., Senator O'Gorman of New York and Senator Kern of Indiana talked for two hours this afternoon over the sit- talk had no fieancs, but Benator an sed the opinion that Gayernor Wi will be the nomines of the convention, “Underweod the Logical Choice.” Former Governor Franeis of Mis- souri, one of the leaders of the move. ment for Speaker Clark, said that the Clari foress had nn intention of re. tregting; that rhey wers entrenched fop 8 stoul sampuign snd they were not sonsidering sompromisss, Senator ] -5k remaried with Some aeperity that Was weary of the talk that the Underwesd forees would compromise, “My, U-j:rv»ud is the Iogleal ehoirg for presidsnt,” said Sematsr Banhead, “and we propess ts stand firm, 'They huve got to come to us” adjournment Baturday Clark 467 1-2, Wiison 405, Underwood 112 1.2, Harmen 29, Mar- shall 20, Fous 43, Bryan 1, UNDERWOOD HOPEFUL.

June 30.—The finding today of some bloody clothing believed to have belonged to the wo- man whose headless body was found in the mill trench between Wopnsock- et and Manville last Tuesday, led the olice to take Henry Deslover into ustody on susplcion. Deslover iden- tified the clothing as ghat of Angele Parmentier, 27 years, with whom he had been living for a year and who has been missing for five weeks. Deslover was examined at the police station, but denied any knowledge of the whereabouts of the Parmentier wo- man. He was detained for further questioning, Many Searchers Out Yesterday. A reward of $1,000 offered by Gov. Aram J.

The water in the canal was lowered and on the bank, five hundred feet from where the body was found Plerre Pessier and Noel Larochelle, came up- on a bundle of woman’s clothing, some of which was bloodstained. Body Corresponds to Parmentior Wo- man, The bundle was turned over to De- tective Sergeant Sutton, who had charge of the search. After an exam- ination of it, he took the clothes to Deslover's house where Deslover and two Belgian women who lived nearby identified it as belonging to Angele Parmentier, accerding to the police. The body found in the canal is about the same shape and size as that of the missing Parmentier woman, in the belief of the coroner, and it is his oplnion that it had been in the water at least five weeks, TWO VESSELS BURNED IN PORTLAND HARBOR.
