QUESTION OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT TROUBLESOME Senator's Ally Said to Have Received Definite Promise of Aid. However. The Hoke Smith-Joe Brown faction will be avtayed against each other in the race for the governorship which lias been widely hailed as one contest In which factional lines were to be eliminated. Thomas S. Felder, attor ney general of the state, is going to en ter tile field against John M. Slaton, according' to reliable indications today, and the old battle will be on once more. Mr. Felder is in Macon and this aft ernoon was to hold an important con ference with his friends in the office of Judge A. L. Miller. It will be de cided then whether he shall formally announce himself a candidate and the likelihood is that he will. Mr. Felder has been eager to enter the race and only held off for lack of definite pledge of financial support. He Is now said to 'have been assured that Senator Smith will contribute substantially to his 'cause. but will not take an active ptirt in the campaign. Half of Amount. Already Subscribed.

A number of confabs w. .-■ he'd, and today it was generally believed that Felder, and ‘ not Hard v'lck. vould lead Hie antl-Brown hosts against Slaton. Just where Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, will come in as a result of these new de velopment 1 : is a problem. It has been persiatentlj rumored for some time that H ill would not remain in the race. The entrance of Felder and the conse f|i!ont Smith-Brown alignment may mean the fulfillment of that rumor, rm th.- other hand. It may mean just lhe 'oppo'-ite, as the. Bibb statesman may consider himself in a strategic po sition if the other two candidates make iheir eace on factional lines. HON.

BALTIMORE, -lune 29.—0 n t at the Democratic national conve uiugs Bryan, who is a delegate fro (’lark, bolted his instructions and i In announneing his vote he made he attacked Charles F. Murphy, 1 In explaining his personal vote, Mi “Nebraska, or that portion of the delegation for which I am au thorized to speak, is not willing to participate in the election of any man who is willing to violate the pledge of this convention and accept a nomination at the hands of Mr. Murphy. The Democratic voters who instructed us for Clark instructed us with the distinct un derstanding that he was a pro gressive Democrat." The fourteenth ballot resulted in no choice and only a small change over the twelfth, the last ballot before adjourn ment last night. Bad Blood in Maryland Delegation. The Democratic national -convention reconvened at 1:07 p. m. today for the third session at which the business of nominating a candidate for president was paramount. After a day and two nights of balloting, the delegates as sembled, ready to take up the task once more. The convention arose while Rev. John Roach Stratten, pastor of the Seventh Avenue Baptist church, offered prayer. The crowd in the hall did want to take up the business for the morning. The chair desired to make an an nouncement, but the confusion, con fined largely to the delegates, could not be stilled. The sergeant-at-arms di rected the police to clear the aisles. Finally at 1:15 p. m. the thirteenth ballot was begun. The vote was held up for a minute while the chair announced the police had been placed in the gal leries with orders to clear them unless order was maintained. The name of Eugene Foss, governor of Massachusetts, was brought Into the scramble on the unlucky thirteenth bal lot. He got two votes from Ohio. So long as both Wilson and Under wood are in the field, the Virginia del egation will continue to vote practically as it has been voting since the first roll call was ordered. However. Wilson Is second choice of nearly all of the Un derwood men. just as Underwood is second choice of nearly all of the Wil son men. Should either be dropped the other will practically have the unani mous vote of the delegation without a candidate. When Virginia was reached in the roll call after it had been passed, the vote was not ready and the roil call was again delayed while the chairman polled the delegation. The first name called in 'he Nebras ka poll was that of Bryan When he stood on his chair and began. “Mr. Chairman." lie was interrupted by cries nf "\T»lp. vote.' Bryan Puts Hall in Uproar. The chairman waited until the con fusion subsided. As Bryan passed the Nebraska del egation lie stopped a. second and said: "Watch Nebraska." The first name called in the Nebras ka poll was that of Bryan. When he stood on his chair and begun: "Mr. Chairman," he was interrupted by cries of "Vote, vote!” For what purpose does the gentle man rise?” asked Congressman Sulzer, temporarily In the chair. "To explain my vote," said Bryap. "Under the rules," «aid Sulzer, "noth ing is in order but the calling of the ivotes. Now does the gentleman vote?” "As long—" began Bryan. He was interrupted. The chair hammered with his gavel. Delegates were on their feet and the convention, ■which has been the scene of many ■stormy battles, was trying to howl down W J. Bryan, three times candi date for president. Senator Stone, of Missouri, attempt ed to gain recognition Selzer ham -ineied violently. It was no use, the ■howling and shouting continued.

Bryan said: on the battered Nebraska standard, •waiting for the. storm to cease. Stone, standing in a chair in the ■Missouri delegation, did not wait. "I pray that every lady and gentle man in the house will listen to the distinguished gentleman from Nebras ka,” he shouted. The storm ranged on, for five min utes. Nebraska Divided, Z Bryan Explains His Vote. Bryan still stood. Sulzer hammered with the gavel. The “Tammany” crowd tried to still the confusion. Sulzer at last made himself heard. Senator Stone asked unanimous con sent for the gentleman from Nebraska to explain his vote. The consent was given amid a. noise that was so deaf ening that no one could tell what question was put or what the vote was. Amid it all, Bryan walked calmly to the stand. He was greeted with a salute of flashlights. Gentlemen of the convention," said Sulzer, “this is a Democratic conven tion. Let every one have hi s say,” and Bryan was Introduced. When the wildness died down Bryan began to speak. He said: I am explaining my vote only be cause my advice was not followed In my own delegation.” Cries of "Too bad." I advised that those of us who are instructed for Mr. Clark should con tinue. to vote for him until conditions arose to justify in doing otherwise. I didn't believe the conditions had yet arrived, but all of the delegates agree with me and then I was desirous a roll call should not be called, but there was a division and a poll Is demanded and each man must give a reason for tiie vote he casts. I am now ready to cast my vote and give my reason for so doing. "I ask the privilege of making the explanation because lam not alone in the convention. When 1 speak. I speak for some others In this hall and I am sure for a still larger number outside of this hall. "I recognize, therefore, the respon sibility that rests upon me when 1 do what I Intend to do and give the ex planation that I Intend to give. I ex pected that this occasion would arise some time during the day, but had not expected that it would come so soon. tn order that there be no mistake. I have it written out. and I beg that no mistake be made in transcribing nr reporting it. "In the recent primaries the total vote for Clark and Wilson was over 30,. ano; the vote for Harmon over 12.000. The party Is now more than three quarters progressive. The Republican party of Nebraska Is progressive in the same proportion. The situation In Ne braska is not different than it is west of the Allegheny mountains. "No candidate would have any con siderable following in this convention if he admitted himself out of harmony with progressive ideas. in this convention the progressive sentiment is overwhelming. Every can didate has proclaimed himself a pro gressive. Their pledge, if kept, will have no effect, upon the result of the election. "The vote of New York here as it Is cast under the unite rule, does not represent justice, virtue, Democracy or patriotism. The 90 men here repre sent the will of one man. Charles F. Murphy, and he represents the in fluence that dominated the Republicans at Chicago and are trying to dominate this convention "If we nominate a candidate under conditions that enable these influences to say to our own candidate, ‘remember thou shy creattor,' we can not hope to appeal to the progressive sentiment ot the Democratic or Republican parties. "Nebraska, or that portion of the delegation for which 1 am authorized to speak, is not willing to participate In the election of any man who is will ing to violate the pledge of this con vention and accept a nominaation f <> the hands of Mr. Murphy.
