FRENZIED NIGHT SESSION MARKED BY OUTBURSTS OF CLARK AND WILSON FORCES New York Becomes the Centre of In- terest When Murphy Announces the Big Shift to the Mis- — souri Candidate. BY MARTIN GREEN (Staff Correspondent of The Bvening World.) CONVENTION HALL, BALTIMORE, June 29.—The session of the Dem- ecraic National Convention which ended at 3.06 o’clock this morning, when @ recess was taken until 1 o'clock this afternoon, was marked by a noisy outburet for Clark and Wilson. Eleven more ballots had been taken since the reassembling in the afternoon, making twelve in all, when the recess as taken. Tammany became the big feature in the convention while the frenzied tenth valiot was under way, Michigan had been called and had delivered Clark @ in of three votes. Other small gaine had been sccumulating and Clark sent! ent seemed to be on the Increase. There were signs of activity in the New York delegation. Around Charles F. Murphy in his alsle were clustered @ group of Brooklyn delegates. Out of the group shot John Quinn, the tall, bald, brainy adjutant of Murphy, and down the aisle to the lowa and Alabama delegations, where he held hurried conferences with leaders, Hurrying back to the New York delegation, he delivered a message to Murphy, and the boss left his seat ‘and moved out into the aisle. The roll call had reached Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New Mexico were called. Murphy mov down the aisle toward the platform and stood awaiting the call for New York. “New York,” cried the reading clerk. “New York,” replied Murphy, ‘casts 81 votes for Clark." Here he stopped because he had to. The Clark boomers, on @ hair trigger of enthusiasm, exploded without knowing it. A great roar filled the hall and Murphy stood smiling. His delegates resumed their chairs and sat tightly. In a moment Tammany Hgll, usually the object of contumely in a national convention, became a popular organization with at least helf the audience. Delegates gathered around the New York section and cheered Tammany and Murphy. The band played the hound dog song. Out of their hiding places came the old faintiiar Clark flags and banners and the horns and bells and rat- ders. A demonstration was in order and all that was required was something to start it. ‘That something was furnished by Charlie White, the bald-headed factotum @¢ Tammany Hall. Grabbing the New York standard from its fastenings he valved it aloft and started through the aisle toward the main entrance. “Ob, you Tammany!” yelled the Clark buomers, grabbing their own standard: and falling into Une behind New York. It is a rare sight to see @ New York @andard carried in a Demooratio National Convention, and the rarity of it added to the effect its appearance created at the head of the Clark telumpha! parade. | | eiroumstances.
