M IS ON THE ROOHIS VIRGINIHJELEGATE For First Time in Political His tory a Money King Appeared in Person to Direct Fight in , Convention ■T BA.T-7H SMITH. BALTIMORE. Md., June 35-For the first time one of the great money kings of America has appeared in person at a national political convention to carry on the fight for the money interests. Mr. Thomas F. Ryan, multi-millionaire, of New York, one of the heads of the ; tobacco trust, head of the New York ' Traction interests, and a power in rail- I road and financial circles generally, came !to Baltimore early yesterday in his pri- I vate car over the Pennsylvania rail road and went at once to apartments he , had reserved at the Washington on I Mount Vernon place. He slipped into town very quietly and very few outside; of his confidence knew that he was In the city. He had reserved apartments at the Belvedere, but did not go to them. Every possible precaution ' of secrecy was thrown about his move ments and he refused to see any one ex cept by appointment. CAME TO FIGHT. He has a private telephone line in his apartments which he used to summon those with whom he desired to have ' conversation with. He was in communica do to all others. The presence of Mr. Ryan in Baltimore at this time when the fight is being made against his influence in the Demo cratic party, as it was made in Chicago I against him and the men he has lined party—and when it is known that the fight In the convention will be directed aaginst him and the men he has lined up with him is sensational in itself. The great money kings have conducted their fights heretofore from Wall street and from 26 Broadway, but it is a rare sight to see them come j out in to the open and do their fighting ;in person on the floor of the conven tion itself. And having made his stand for Judge Parker, "the only thing New York wanted from the convention," he did I not propose to back down. For Ryan 1 is a fighter and he is one of the most I feared men in Wall street. They they call him a "flnanaial pirate" and point to his demands made for a share in the control of the fabulous assets of the Equitable Life Assurance associ ation at the time the control, of the association was trusteed. fishing rod with a portrait of the New Jerseyite at the hook end, and waved it far above the heads of the delegates. GALLERIES SURGED. Clark and Wilson managers each i charged the other with having “pack | ed” the galleries. It was clearly evi * dent that the galleries held thousands ■ beyond their ticketed capacity. The demonstration continued 20 min i utes.

GEORGIA INDORSES BALTIMORE MAYOR FOR VICE PRESIDENCY Delegation Called on Mayor Preston Last Night and Pledged Him Their Support. Lady Is in Tom Watssa's Convention Seat BY JOHN PASCHALL. BALTIMORE. June 26.—The Georgia delegation called on Mayor Preston, of Baltimore, last night during his recep tion to the Democratic delegates, and before they left they had made friends of the mayor snd pledged him their sup port, as a unit for the vice presidency. The mayor was conversing with Wiliam J. Bryan when the Georgians arrived, but Douglaa Macarthur, that prince of good fellows from Lumber City, went to his honor and told him that a delegation of Georgia Crackers were at hand. The mayor came forward with a warm greeting and several speeches were made, ringing with genuine Georgia spirit and true appreciation of Baltimore's hospital ity. not only to the Empire State of the South, but to the delegates from all parts of the union. Thomas B. Felder, of Atlanta, free and untrammeled and unmolested by the threats of Governor Blease, made a very happy speech, which should certainly win him the protection of the city of Bal timore in any emergency. Col. J. J. Flynt, of the Sixth district, spoke with real southern oratorical effect and when these two fluent Georgians had finished the mayor was convinced that Georgia was with him for vice president or any thing else that .he might desire. Altogether it was a very pleasant oc casion in which the Georgians figured GEORGE FIT CH GLEEFULLY HOPES FOR A HOT AND HECTIC SESSIO He Figures That the Demo cratic National Convention May Be a Little More Ex plosive Than Many Folks Have Expected BY GEORGE FITCH. (Copyright, 1912, The Associated News papers.) BALTIMORE, June 25.—Today anothei Democratic national convention began and last night a large number of Dem ocratic statesmen, who have just begun to realize the full force of this fact, rubbed their reluctant eyes and sighed: "Let me dream again.” There Is no use denying that last week was one of the pleasantest day dreams that Democracy 1 has had in many a dec ade. There have been times in our rag time political history when the Repub lican party has fought itself almost as far into chaos as It is at present, but it has always had a couple of years to bind itself together and hop cheerfully into the race, and it has never failed to do so. That is why last week was so delightful to the Democrats. The Republican party was exploding once again, and there was no time to haul it into the back shop for repairs. The elephant would have to go through the campaign with the hind quarters tramping on the fore quarters and the fore quarters guarding the hind quar ters and as it fought itself into Irrepara ble ruin a triumph and reunited De mocracy surging ever onward, etc., etc., would at last win victory, power, office, appointments, perquisites and all the oth er joyous trappings of the politicians’ paradise. All last week Democrats stood with their arms about each other's shoulders, watching with solemn joy the doings in Chicago, never had they been so happy, never had they agreed so thoroughly. HEART TO HEART. Shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart they watched the flying fragments of the G. O. P. and talked of that seraphic time next spring when the Inaugural pa rade would be composed entirely of Democrats, without even a Cleveland to mar the joy of the occasion. Then, as the last Taft delegate extracted himself from the fingers and teeth of the last Roosevelt delegate in Chicago, these Democratic watchers sighed one more blissful, harmonious sigh—and woke up. As they did so a change began to steal over these fadeless friends. As they pinned on their convention badges they began to view each other suspiciously. Brother Hearst moved a bit away from Brother Sullivan, of Illinois, and reach ing down in his boot extracted the long corn knife which he has operated so successfully upon his hostile brothers on so many occasions. Brother Murphy, of New York, scuttled back into his room and sent out word that if Brother O'Gorman called he was to be allowed to wait next to the ice water cooler as long as possible. Brother Guffey, of Pennsylvania, ceased word painting the rainbow future long enough to speak hisslngly about a certain Ne braska windstorm while still alluding in terms of purest joyj. THE FIRST CLOUD. The unclouded future of Democracy allowed it to become known that if a certain dear old comrade named Parker should attempt U» slide over into the temporary chairmanship he would be obliged to soak him with Nebraska. Pennsylvania, the unit rule, the 11th amendment, the cross of gold, and what ever else might be handy at the time. Democracy had stopped dreaming en tirely; it didn’t have time to dream. It was facing a convention which bids fair to be as hot and hectic and as ex plosive as the recent affray in Chicago. Os course, Democracy still has hopes but it has put them in the clerk’s safe along with its other valuables and will keep them there until after all the true dis ciples of Jefferson. Jackson and Bryan have been pulled off of each other next Friday. Now that it has become visible through that thick Chicago cloud, the Democratic convention appears to be an other Republican convention compli cated with favorite sons. True the na tional committee is not doing any sec ond story work in advance and when the delegates convene, the fire depart ment is not going to stand by with a loaded hose. There is not going to be any of the wonderful and intricate em bellishments of the words "thief,” vil lian,” “brigand,” and "gutterwiper,” such as were written into the minutes in Chi i cago, but the conservatives and pro ! gressives are going to meet each other i head-on and if the Democratic party withstands the shock without giving away at the seams it will exceed every body’s expectation. BALTIMOR EnuTELS. Baltimore has not a hotel like the Congress, which can take in a whole convention, including delegates* wives, friends from home, sightseers and painted ladies, mix the whole mess into a recking, frantic mob and entertain It most happily. Among those who called and paid their respects to the Baltimore chief executive were Colonel Felder, Colo nel Flynt. Thomas J. Brown, of Elber ton; J. H. Blackwell, Douglas Macar thur, always to the front when an act of courtesy is to be performed; Col. M. H. Boyer, of Hawkinsville; Crawford Wheatley, the man who made the jour ney from Atlanta to Baltimore seem lige a trip from the postoffice to Buck head in a racing car, and T, T. Miller. Col. H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, was yesterday elected chairman of the com mittee on permanent organization for the convention. This was a distinct honor for the gentleman from Hall, and his fellow members from Georgia are congratulating him on this recognition. When the con vention was called'’ to order yesterday there sat in the seat allotted to Thomas E. Watson, a lady. Whether she cast her vote I do not know, as the delegation was not polled, but the entire 28 bal lots were recorded under tha unit rule. HUMPHREY ON THE JOB. William G. Humphrey, of Atlanta, loomed up big on the opening day of the convention as an assistant sergeant at arms. Mr. Humphrey was given the main aisle to look after, and this passage was kept absolutely free from disorder or confusion throughout the session. Mr. Humphrey was on the job. He made no display about it, but he demanded or der. and he got it. The session was as turbulent as an angry sea at times, but the main aisle never got congested. Will Humphrey was there and he didn’t need any policeman to help him. Ex-Goverior Ansel, of South Carolina, is being boomed for the vice presidential nomination by the delegates from his state. The boom spread its wings yes terday and was sighted floating between the principal hotels. unaided within its cavernous recesses. In consequence the Democratic conven tion stretches from the Belvedere, where the Sullivan wing of a firm, united Democracy holds forth, to the Emerson, where the Hearst workers have a floor and the Gaynor and Wilson shouters try to mingle freely In a lobby as big as a Texas statesman’s hat. Between these two hotels are almost a dozen others, each infested with a headquarters, and the mile-long road which connects these is one continuous vaudeville show, the Alabama marching club with only one whiskered cornel in it, the rest looking as if they might have come from the South Bend Com mercial club, the Gaynor club, fat Tam many chiefs In decollette carriages, the Missouri mule chorus with a struggling purp as insignia, the St. Mary’s Boys band playing “Dixie,” and getting a dozen rebel yells per block, the Prince ton college Woodrow Wilson club, con gested with intricate whoops, the Har mon marchers, dignified but , heavily badged, all of these made the trip at least once during the day. BANDS. And whenever a band got near a hotel it wedged itself into its tiny lobby and turned on full organ. "Dixie” and "Maryland” got played a thousand times apiece today, but the record of “Every body’s Doin’ It,” made in Chicago, will not be approached. There aren’t enough bands in Baltimore to turn the trick. There is just one towering figure in Baltimore and that is Bryan. He got a yell a mile long when he came to town, every reporter has drooped the small fry and is camped outside his door, convention business waits the re sult of his conferences, and over the ''whole mass of perspiring Democrats the deepest anxiety rules. What will Bryan do? Will he run the convention himself? Will he throw it out of the convention hall? Will he prorogue? Will he Change the name of the party? Will he fuse it with Ccl onel Roosevelt’s new party? Will he write the platform himself or merely edit it? Will he Parker to wear a parachute while being ejected from the temporary chairmanship fight? Will he accept the nomination? Will he have softshell crabs for dinner? Will he make the keynote speech? if we get upon these chairs can we see him through the transom? Will -ie call in the dog catcher to take charge of the Clark boom? Has he said any thing about the Sullivan-Hearst row? These are the burning questions in the hotel lobbies. Os course there is a convention, but it is merely a sort of arua«- tn Willigts J. Bryan. To a BwA'i*. unbadged out sider, fresh from the Chicago riot, it looked as if Bryan could not only run the convention, but could go bgck to Lincoln tonight and have it follow him if he didn’t happen to approve of Maryland’s peculiar style of frying chicken.

CUBK STRADDLES iffl LOSES CMNCE OF HELP BY BRYAN Speaker's Faction Flirted Al ternately With Tammany and Bryan on Tuesday's Chairmanship Vote i (By lALPK SMITH.) BALTIMORE. Md., June 26.—Flirt ing alternately with Bryan and Tam many, the Clark faction was a house divided among Itself on the temporary chairmanship yesterday. This fact is being hammered hard by the Wilson forces. Representative A. Mitchell Palmer, Pennsylvania, a lieutenant for the New Jersey executive, says the vote was a test of the progressiveness of Speaker Clark and Gov. Wilson and their respective followers. There are persistent rumors that the Ciarkites have made a deal with Tam many whereby the New York vote was promised to the speaker early In the balloting for the presidential nominee, contingent upon the delivery of the re quisite number of votes to “put over” Judge Parker. Pat Calhoun corrobo rates this report, in effect. The lineup indicates that the Clark men are attempting to play both ends against the middle. The Wilsonites were quick to make capital of it. The vote of the following Clark states on the temporary chairmanship furnishes an illustration of the ability of the ipeaker's friends to stay on the top of the fence without making the fellow on either side mad. voted 22 for Parker and 14 for Bryan; California, 18 for Parker and 7 for Bryan; Massachusetts, 15 for Parker and 17 for Bryan; Kentucky, 17 1-2 for Parker and 7 1-2 for Bryan, and lowa 18 each for Parker and Bryan. These divisions are typical of those in the other so-called Clark states. WILSON WENT SOLID. The Wilson strength went almost solidly against the Tammany candidate and the lines are now drawn more taut than ever in the "Wilson against the field” fight. Wilson’s supporters stood absolutely progressive, said Represen tative Palmer, with mingled pride and bitterness. “The Clark people split and no can didate who is willing to have his sup porters divide, for the sake of expe diency, on an issue like this has a right to be called a progressive. The vote was a test of the progressiveness of Wilson and Clark and will be so con strued.” A split between Bryan and Clark has resulted from the middle of the road action of the Clark delegates In the crucial fight. The Nebraskan has said repeatedly that he favored the nomi nation of either Wilson or Clark. If there had been a coalition of the Wilson and Clark strength In the con vention, William Jennings Bryan would have had a walk-over.’ 1 The Bryan men are asserting that Clark cannot hope to retain the support of Mr. Bryan by such tactics, especially when Governor Wilson delivers his entire strength against the reactionary. Unless "Gumshoe Bill” Stone and the Clark campaign managers have an iron bound agreement with the Murphy- Sullivan-Taggart combination, the speaker cannot afford to Jose one whit of Bryan support, for the presidential nomination Is decided by a two-thirds and not a majority vote. It can be stated on high authority that if there has been an agreement between Clark's managers and the Tam many chief it is of recent origin. Two months ago one of Speaker Clark’s friends in the south journeyed to New York to "sound out” the "Boss Mur phy.” The message from the speaker was delivered. Murphy grunted and said nothing. ECHO OF A GRUNT. An echo of the grunt was brought back to Washington and since that time the Clark managers have been making overtures in the hope of corral Ing New York's 90 votes. For the past month, and up to the time of Murphy’s arrival in Baltimore, it is learned that his preference ran to a candidate other than Speaker Clark. A "favorite son” came • first, merely for trading purposes. Represen tative Underwood stood second, with Governor Harmon third. At the foot of the list was Governor Wilson and Speaker Clark was sandwiched in somewhere and stood a show in the event of the failure to name a straight out conservative. The Clark leaders go about now, however, with a smile of confidence and whisper “Keep your eye on New York.” The Clark-Murphy-Hearst combination talk augurs well for a parting of the ways between the speak er and Mr. Bryan. It further, widens the breach between the Wilson and Clark people, who have it in their pow er to combine and nominate any candi date. This leads to the gossip here that the final alignment in the convention will be behind a conservative of the Har mon or Underwood type and Governor Wilson. This alignment is especially probable in the event there are more than three ballots. If the speaker is not nominated on these ballots, some of his supporters privately admit his chances will diminish gradually there and the Bryan issue of progressiveism and conservatism, without frills, will be the turning point of the conventios. SHOOTS WIFE’S FATHER AND BLOWS OUT BRAINS (Special DiPiatch to The Journal.) TAMPA, Fla., June 26.—Walter Sul livan blew his brains out near Wau chula Tuesday, after shooting his fath er-in-law in the shoulder and leg. Sul livan had been hiding for some time, avoiding arrest for forging a check. He went to his father-in-law’s home and asked to see his wife. He refused to allow in the house. Sullivan fired and the father in-law, securing a shotgun, started aft er Sullivan, who blew out his brains before he was captured. I LIO N- ICabe st ?rwo fe u res HOPE OF HARMON Y TAKES WINGS AND EVERY INDICATION POINTS TO A BITTER DEMOCRATIC FIGHT Progressives Accuse Parker of Being Tool of “Big Busi ness” and Reactionaries Say Bryan Wants Nomina tion for Himself BY KALPH SMITH. BALTIMORE, Md., June 25.—The hope of harmonj' in the Democratic convention has taken wings, and early this morning every indication pointed to a determined fight all down the line, from the election of a temporary chairman, to the nomina tion of a presidential ticket. The reactionary leaders contend that Bryan himself is a candidate for the nomination and that his attack on Al ton B. Parker is but a preliminary move looking to Bryan’s nomination. They as sert that Bryan is ready to throw both Clark and Wilson overboard at the psy chological minute. They declare that the Wilson delegates are ready to compro mise with Bryan and accept the vice presidency for the Jersey governor. This contention is emphatically and vigorously denied by the Wilson people, and many of the delegates who are to vote for his nomination. These men admit that there Is much in common between Bryan and Wilson, but they rely upon Bryan to give to Wilson hia earnest support for the nomination. Champ Clark was the strongest man who blocked the progressives last night. By combination the Clark and conserva tive forces hope to be able to nominate Clark on the second or third ballot. ALL SIDES CONFIDENT. The conservative forces are confident that in the end they will be able to “steam roller” Mr. Bryan. Equal con fidence is felt in the Wilson camp and tbe progressives who follow Bryan on the floor of the convention say victory will be theirs. Murphy has convinced his friends that he is for Harmon, and wants the Ohioan nominated. Harmon's enemies charge that be reflects the desire of Thomas F. Ryan, who is in Baltimore surrounded by a number of powerful tobacconists. Influences are at work in Baltimore to compel Mr. Bryan to bolt his party. "Pat” Calhoun, of California, and R. M. Stevenson, called "Big Steve,” of Colorado, two of the men who aided the Taft machine to steam roll the Repub lican convention in Chicago, are in Bal timore. Senator Joseph L. Bristow, one of the strongest and most pronounced Roosevelt men, wtih Senator Charles D. Works, of California, is also here. Senator Works held a conference with Mr. Bryan, in the afternoon.

The Democrats face just as bitter a fight as the Chicago battle of the Re-[ publicans. No fourth party may be born or no bolt be made, but there wiiij be a real fight. That is going to oper ate tn his favor. Bryan is playing a| popular tune, oqe that a majority of Democrats want to march to. Pres sure of the old time machine will be brought to bear upon many delegations. , FORCING CLARK’S HAND. By voting for Ollie James in the com mittee last night, the Wilson men forced the hand of the Clark people and compelled a majority of them to go on record as in favor of a conservative candidate for temporary chairman. They think this has embarrassed the ClarK candidates and makes Wilson the only progressive candidate. In effect it has done this, but while it makes Wilson the only candidate on the first ballot, there is Bryan. If the progressives win. it is a question up to Mr. Bryan to make the choice of being a candidate himself or going to Wilson. There is only one way to change the tide so that the situation will not take that turn: that is the nomination of Clark on the second or third ballot. Leaders of the Clark campaign were significantly enthusiastic last night. A majority of the Clark men on the national committee had stuck to Parker. This kept Clark on the side of the conservatives and kept him still in a position of bidding for New York's vote. They have become convinced that Tam many Leader Murphy wants Harmon. But the Clark people have hopes of splitting the Murphy-Mack-Taggart- Sullivan combination getting the vote of Indiana and Connecticut on the second ballot and finally of making the Clark column so large that New York will come to the speaker. Clark’s ad vantage lies in the fact that with the party absolutely divided by the fight, between progressives and conservatives he has the largest nucleus of any can didate either conservative or progres sive.
