Governor Plaisted Put to Front by Progressives ' for Chairman-—New Yorkers Fling “Gaynor lor President’’ Banner to Breeze—-Underwood Supporters to Organize Tonight. t _ _ # BALI IMOKK. -liitiv 24.- —-AXith the ineplirig’ of the Democratic National Committee today to make final arranwenients for the Nation al Convention that meets tomorrow, the struggle for the nomination of a presidential candidate to oppose William Howard Taft was formally ushered in. Many of the party leaders are already here. Others are 5 coming on every train. Baltimore has taken on a convention air. In the hotels state delegates gathered for the caucuses on the big fight, the first move of which will be the selection of a temporary chairman. Indiana will hold its caucus at ■'» p. in. today and Michigan at 4 p. in. Interest today centered in the moves of the leaders over the chairmanship light. William -Jen nings Bryan, who has announced that he will oppose -Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, for the position, Jtegan to marshal his forces. That he will fight to the finish, in spite of the efforts of the party leaders to induce him to join ‘‘a harmony" movement. I was apparent. Clark 'Howell, a member of the com mittee for Georgia, said: “The committee will select Judge Parker. He will have from 30 to 32 votes on the test. " Speculation as to the candidate that will be brought out to oppose Parker was rife. The names of Senator John Worth Kern of Indiana and Governor Frederick Plaisted of Maine were men tioned. Kern is a close personal friend of Bryan. Four years ago he was vice presidential candidate with Bryan. His selection was made then at the sugges tion of Bryan, and for this reason it was believed today that Kern w ould be selected to lead the fight. Governor Plaisted, however, is a pro gressive whose fight at the head of his party’ in Maine brought him into prom inence. and ho is favored by many of those who are backing the Nebraskan in his fight against the New York jurist. Seventy-Nine Contests To Be Decided. One of the most important things slated for consideration by the national -committee today was the making up of the temporary roll of the convention. There are 79 contests listed. One of the biggest tights Is that which will come when the Illinois contests are heard. The fight there is that between Com mitteeman Roger <’. Sullivan and his faction and the faction headed by Mayor Cartel H. Harrison of Chicago. Before the meeting of- the national committee today for the first test of strength between the Bryan and anti- Bryan forces it was confidently assert ed by the anti-Bryan men that they far outnumbered the Nebraskan’s support ers. It was reported that Bryan him self might enter the committee meet- ’ ing. holding the proxy of Committee- ( man P. L. Hall of Nebraska. Hall is a close friend of Bryan and is his sup porter in the tight that is being waged . against Parker. Interest in tin- candidates for the . presidential nomination was two-fold I today. In addition to their race for party leadership, there was much spec- ‘ ulation as to the part they would piny in the Bryan-Parker fight. Supporters of Champ Clark, of Mis- ( souri, according to statements of his , lieutenants, have been loft free l.>«tnke what put t they choose in tlm 'skirmish, j The Bryan men will support tite man from Lincoln. The antl-Bryan-Clark supporters will aid the backers of Parker. Woodrow Wilson has taken a definite stand, saying that the progressive must sound the keynote. Herates Parker as a conservative, and his followers will ( take sides against the men from Esopus. The otheis —Governor Judson Harmon . of Ohio, Oscar Underwood of Ala bama and Thomas R. Marshall of In diana—have taken sides in the con troversy. In the matter of candidates, the field is rich. Today the New York delega- ' tion added the name of William J.
