‘Wilson. Immediately the great crowd leaped to its feet, realizing that a concerted movement to nominate Wilson unanimously was under way. Congressman Fitzgerald of Brooklyn stepped to the Chairman’s side. “Mr. Chairman,” he said, “te Democracy of the State of New| York is in no way behind that of any other in its desire for victory. The | time has come to sitk personal ambitions and convictions, no matter | how hard they may be to master and recognize. the overwhelming will | of this convention. We therefore ask for the suspension of the rules and | the nomination by unanimous consent of Woodrow Wilson.” A southwest squall tearing across New York Bay never whipped up al ¢ duicker, deeper, tossing storm. It was so intense interest in the thing | that was going on aided the police, sergeant-at-arms and reading clerks +'t@ quiet it almost as quickly as it started. {© Senator Reed of Missouri, who nominated Clark, raised an objec- “tion to the motion of Congressman Fitzgerald, which required unanimous consent. objection was offered by F. H. McCullough of Edina, Missouri. One objection was enough to kill Fitzgerald’s motion, and a roll- call was necessary. ALABAMA LEADS OFF. Alabama had the honor of leading off. Gov. Emmett O'Neal was standing on his chair clasping his State standard and waiting his chance. He cast the vote of Alabama for Woodrow Wilson. Arizona and Arkan- sas followed Alabama. California was called and the perpetual talker, Theodore Bell, said he wanted to make a few remarks, The convention would not listen to him and California was passed. Colorado announced ten votes for Wilson and two for Clark. A moment later the delegation reconsidered and cast a solid vote for Clark. It became apparent when the Southern States began to respond that some ‘Clark delegates were minded to follow Missouri in the last ditch. Two delegates from Florida enlisted in the sinking ship and went down ywith Clark and Missouri, despite the protests of thelr delegates. As for Missouri, she died game, when the State was called, the thirty-six delegates were standing on their chairs. In chorus they chanted their swan song, thirty-six votes for Clark, and the convention gave them one of the biggest cheers of the week. New Jersey was awaited with interest. The chairman of the delega- tion. ‘nad the close attention of the vast crowd when he announced New Jersey still votes Wilson twenty-four, Clark four. Senator Smith and his colleagues stood pat to the last lineup. New Jersey’s vote was greeted with hisses. It was a Wilson crowd by this time and resented anything that looked like a reflection on the k machine, NEW YORK GOES TO WILSON. When the shirt-sleeved teller leaned out over the rail of the lower platform, stretched out his arms to the centre aisle and roared ‘“Ne-c-w § Yor-r-k!’ the great hall was still, just for a moment. Then Charles F. ’ Murphy, his face bronzed, a little drawn, but bearing a smile which was radiant by contrast with his usual expressionless set of features, said, in a voice which has been weary, not to say irritable of late, but was ringing with cheer now, “New York casts ninety votes for Woodrow Wilson.” ‘Pare hall rose with a roar of joy until the trumpet voice of the teller Was drowned by the repeating to all sides of the hall the entirely super- 4 Muous deep-lunged echoes “New York ninety for Wilson.” ¢ Each new announcement brought with it a renewal of the cheers, and 4 they lasted well into the call of North Carolina. At the call of Ohio a _ heavy-set gray-haired man was put forward by Mr. James as the “man- ager for Governor Harmon,” who desired unanimous consent to speak It was given with a whoop. HARMON DELEGATES RELEASED. “1 am not the manager for Governor Harmon,” said Mr. Moore. “I ,, 4m only one of 450,000 loyal Democrats who have followed Mr. 'Harmon + to victory twice in the State of Ohio. We believed that we had the right to present the name of this ballot-tried, vote-winner to this convention as \ that of the man who would be next President of the United States. This * convention did not see fit to agree. We are bound by the unit rule. The & obligations of the loyal friends which were merely moral obligations are hereby released.” By motion of the Chairman, the Ohio delegation asked to be passed. * The District of Columbia threw its six votes which represent no vote in a / Presidential election, against harmony for Champ Clark. Bell of California demanded unanimous consent for the fifteenth time in ten days. He voted his delegation twenty-four for Clark, two for , Wilson, but said he would move at the conclusion of the ballot to make the nomination unanimous, He also said-his first act on returning to Call- fornia would be to jump into the fight for the election of Wilson. Ohio passed on the first call, gave Wilson 33, Harmon 12, Clark one with two absent, and this closed the roll call, which totalled Wilson, 990; Clark, 84. «Senator Stone then put over his motion to make the nomination unani- ‘mous, « DETAILS OF THE 43D BALLOT.

A similar | THE EVENING WORLD, WILSON GETS THE NEWS AND MAKES STATEMENT TO THE EVENING WORLD He Says He Hopes the Democratic Party Will Never Have Reason to Regret Having Honored Him With the Nomination. (Special from @ Staff Correspondent.) SEA GIRT, N, J., July 2.—When Gov. Wilson received the news of tho nomination, he said: “You must sometimes have wondered why I did not show more emotion as the news vame in from the convention, and I have Baltimore complacently and as a matter of course. “The fact is that the emotion has been too deep to come to the surface as the vote has grown, and as {t has seemed more and more likely that T/ might be nominated I have grown more and more solemn, “I have not felt any of this as if it were a thing that centred on my-/ self as a person. The fine men who have been fighting for me in Baltimore 1 have not regarded as my representatives. It has been the other way around. I have felt all the while that they were honoring me by regard- ing me as their representative and that they were fighting for me because they thought I could stand for and fight for the things that they believed in and desired for the country. “I do not see how any man could feel elation as such responsibilities loomed nearer and nearer to him or how he could feel any shallow per- sonal pride.” When the nomination was finally announced the Governor said: “The honor is as great as can come to any man by the nomination of @ party, especially in the circumstances, and I hope I appreciate it at its true value; but just at this moment I feel the tremendous responsibility it involves even more than I feel thehonor. I hope with all my heart that the party will never have reason to regret it.” Speaking of the support of The World and other progressive news- papers who worked for the Governor's nomination, Dr. Wilson said: “The great instruments for the building up and compacting of the progressive votes of the conntry must be those newspapers whe are willing to speak without fear or favor.” So eure were the friends of Gov. Wilson that he would be nominated to- day that they had a fifty-piece band at Manasaquan, and ‘t was here playing fifteen minutes after the wires told of Wilson's nomination. have transpired during the last two hours means that Wilson's nomination 1s now a certainty.” Utah was solid for Wileon for the first time—eight votes, Wisconsin also solid for first time for Wilson—twenty-six votes, DETAILS OF THE 45TH BALLOT.

Although Wileon made slight gains early in the forty@fth ballot, there were no serious breaks in the dwindling Clark ranks. During this ballot the Wilson leaders worked like beavers to secure the Underwood strength for'the New Jersey man, A. Mitchell Palmer, leader of the Wilson forces, visited the Alabama delegates and carnostly urged them to throw their votes to Wilson, but he could secure no agreement. A poll of the New Mexico delegation on this ballot showed an inclination "| to break the eolid eight Clark votes, but they were held by the unit rule, New York's ninety again went to Clark and hope of a nomination on this ballot was lost.

I suppose that is expected of me,” Then he turned and walked into the house, An automobile containing R. 8. Bennett, Mayor of Asbury Park, came roaring up the road in a cloud of dust. Mr, Bennett had started for the Governor's cottage the minute he heard that Underwood had withdrawn his name. He congratulated Wilson warmly, Then came the townspeople of Sea Girt, where the news had spread like @ prairie fire. They came by the tens and dozene—on bicycles, in autos and running afoot, “Congratulations, Mr. President,” they said as they pressed forward to shake the Governor's hand, ‘Not yet, gentlemen,” said the candidate with a grave smile, is still much to be done.” Among the first to arrive were an engineer and fireman, who stopped their train a few hundred yards from the Governor's house and ran over to shake hands “With the next President.” Their faces were grimy with soot and their overalls running with grease. Dr. Wilson accepted their oily hands and his palid face broke into a wide grin. The crowd applauded the little group. J. M. Scott, aged elghty-two years, and his wife. two years his junior, drove up in a buggy. The Gov- ernor saw the aged couple and hurried down from his plazza to greet them. Confirmation of the report the newspaper men had given to Gov, Wilson had meanwhile come from the Baltimore headquarters of the Wilson work- ers. The Governor, who had manifestly been making evory effort to keep a “There crush of congratulations was over and he spoke e¢ nestly of his hopes, Mrs, Wilson's comment was: “T feel very, very solemn.’ MAN MURDERED AND BODY [found themselves without a anred of evi- | dence against any one, ‘Tne mafia skuil | blunt inetrument, With Wounds Indicating Blackjack| It was atti! dark when Peter Finn!- gan, & trackwalker employed by the Blows, Unconscious Form 18 | tnterborough Rapid Transit.
