Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, was nominated for President of the United States by the Democratic National con vention at Its afternoon session yes terday, wben, on the 46th ballot he received 990' votes to 84 for Champ Clark.

( oavratlos Berenea Love Feast. The convention became a love feast tonight, when It met to select a run ning mate for Governor Wilson. When the convention suspended the regular order of business, the nomination of a Vice-Presidential candidate shortly before 11 o'clock to make way for the reading and adoption of the platform, Iz candlates for the Vice-Presidency had been placed In nomination. They were: Governor Burke, of North Dakota; Governor Marshall, of Indiana; Gov ernor Chamberlain, of Oregon; Elmore W. Hurst, of Illinois: Mayor Preston, of Baltimore, and Champ Clark, of Mis souri. Governor Marshall was nominated on the fourth ballot. S New Jersey moved that Marshall's nomination be made unanimous. The motion was lost. The convention then adjourned, sine . die, shortly before 2 o'clock this morn ing. The result of the first ballot for Vice-President was: Marshall, 389; Burke, 305 2-3: Chamberlain. 157; Hurst, of Illinois. 77; Preston, 68; Mc Corabe, 18; Osborne, 9; Sulzer, 3; Wade, 26: absent. 46 V4. The sentiment of the convention was strongly in favor of giving the Speaker the place if he would accept It. H. H. Dean, of Georgia, placed Clark in nom ination and took the convention una wares. Despite a speech by ex-Governor A. M. Dockery. of Missouri, withdrawing Clark's name and a tele graphed statement from the Speaker himself, declaring he would not take the place, the convention was hopeful of his final acceptance, and one of the reasons for the suspension of the vote on the nominations was the desire of the leaders to ' make sure of Clark's position. Bnrke Strongly Backed. Governor Burke, of North Dakota, was backed strongly for second place. His name was roundly cheered when It was placed before the convention. Only four ballots were necessary yes terday to reach a Presidential nomina tion. When the convention adjourned last night St had seemed to be In an all but hopeless deadlock. Wilson had begun. to lose ground on the last few ballots, and Champ Clark had made a few temporary gains. This encouraged the Speaker to rush over to Baltimore from Washington this morning In the hope -of still further turning the tide Sind rallying hia forces to a final stand. When the Speaker arrived, however, I " (Concluded OB Fas. Bride-Elect, Only One Day Divorced Learns Six Months Must Pass. Swain Has Home Ready. VANCOUVER, Wash., July 2.

Choice of Wilson Weak ens New Party. ROGER SULLIVAN BIG HELP Winoisan Strong Figure in Ac complishing Result. STAMPEDE SOON STARTED Clark's Defeat Due to His Error in Dividing Forces In Inconse quential Issue of Chairman- . 6hlp Early In Fray. . BY HARRY J. BROWN. BALTIMORE, July 2. (Special.) For the first time Jn years the Demo cracy has done the right thing at the right time If one takes the Democratic view -of the political outlook. In nominating Woodrow Wilson, the Baltimore convention chose the strong est candidate whose name was pre sented and It also nominated the most popular candidate In the field. And In do lng this it utterly thrust aside the once powerful bosses who have been ar ralgned against Wilson from the start. Wilson won on his record and on his popularity and in the face of the sturdiest opposition the conservative faction could muster. In nominating Its most popular candidate, the Demo cratic convention has not only paved theway for a probable Democratic vic tory in November, but has made it embarrassing for Theodore, Roosevelt to go forward with his threat to enter the field at the head of a progressive third party. Result Embarrassing to T. P. Wilson's nomination will prevent the deflection of progressive Democrats to a Roosevelt standard. If one Is raised, for there is not enough "difference be tween the policies of Roosevelt and of Wilson to. Justify the Democrats In de sertlng their own party In a campaign where they already have visions of victory perching on their banner when the November struggle Is over. The story of Wilson's triumph Is a long one. He entered the convention the second strongest candidate, so far as Instructed delegates were concerned, and at the outset he saw his more formidable opponent grow In strength until more than a majority of the dele gates had given him their support. ' Scale Turned by Bryan. Yet that majority did not suffice to nominate Clark. This convention Ig nored the rule and refused to gjve two- thirds to Clark after he had attained majority. Had Clark been able to run up that majority without the sup port of the 90 votes cast by Tammany Leader Murphy, he would have been nominated, but when Bryan brandod the Tammany votes he made, them a curse upon tne canaiaa-te tor nom they were cast, and from that time to the end Clark's strength withered and fell away. From that same moment Wilson grew. It was Bryan who turned the tide, and he turned It on the Mur-phy-Belmont-Ryan Issue, for It pre viously had been demonstrated mat the progressives held the majority In I iLffnciuun on rso - COMPLIMENTS OF WTT.TJAM JENNINGS BRYAN. j .v " , v..'.. .... . . - ; -; . Mrs.- Charles D. Blaney Cheers Too Lustily at Coliseum in Chicago. Chords Once Trained. CHICAGO, July 2. (Special.) One well-trained contralto voice was lost at the Republican convention in Chi cago, either at the Coliseum, when the California delegation was shouting for Roosevelt, or at the birth of the new progressive party. The lost voice belonged to Mrs. Isabel Blaney, of San Jose, Cal., one of the two women sent as delegates to the Republican- convention. Owing to the loss of Mrs. Blaney's voice, the women of Lake Forest and other north shore cities failed to heear a discourse on woman suffrage today. Mrs, Blaney came to Chicago at ti e opening of the Republican convent.on determined to fight for th,e cause M Roosevelt. During the convention Mrs. Blaney cheered with the rest of the California delegation and was one or the leaders in tne cneermg vi chestra Hall when the new party was launched. The strain, combined with the damp lake winds, caused Mrs. Bla ney to lose her voice until she was unable to speak above a whisper. Her husband, Charles D. Blaney, was taken to St. Luke's Hospital at the close of the convention, suffering from an infection of one of his eyes. PAPER MILL BRANCHES OUT Oregon City Plant to Build $80,000 Printing Auxiliary.

J The Governor was allowed only brief respite before there poured In a deluge of callers who had hung about ih. tickers and bulletin boards ior seven days. Between bursts of ap clause they called htm "Woodrow" and Oovernor" and "Wilson," but most of all they hailed him as "the next Presi dent of the United States." Along the roadway there raced bevv of automobiles. - AS tney are up In front of the.

Band in Hiding Awaits Signal. 'Three cheers for the next Presi dent," shouted a lusty-lungea entnusi ast and the crowd gave them with a will. The Governor removed his soft brown hat, bowed and said: - 'Gentlemen, I thank you from my heart." Down the - road a brass band of 60 pieces lay under cover awaiting a sig nal. It had been waiting there two days, practicing on "Hall to the Chief" and "See, the Conquering Hero Comes." When the signal came the bandsmen marched In the wake of innumerable automobiles, past scores of pedestrians, and stopped on the Governor's lawn, where they played while the visitors applauded and the Governor beamed his thanks. - Governor Wilson said that at one time during the convention he com- niaiir Hesnaired of receiving the nomination.

AIRSHIP DROPS 500 FEET Wives in Great Crowtf Which Sees Tragedy of Air. 2 BODIES FOUND IN WATER Balloon Akron Making Trial Trip Above Sea When It Suddenly Bursts Into Flame and Plunges With Crew to Ocean Below. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J July 2. Sail ing out over the Atlantic Ocean under perfect weather conditions and under observation of several thousand per sons,, the great airship Akron. In com mand of Melvln Vaniman, with a crew of four men, exploded while more than 600 feet In tne air early today and shot "down Into the water, a tangled mass, carrying to their death the dar ing aviator and his companions. Death Ib oelleved to have come In stantly to the five men. In all the tragic history of disaster to airships or aeroplanes, probably none was as sensational as that which brought to an end the greatest and most costly air craft ever constructed on the Western hemisphere. Built to withstand the storms of the Atlantic and to carry at least a dozen men across the ocean to Europe, the Akron went to her doom In calm weather. Five la Fated Craft. Those who went down with the bis dirigible beside the intrepid Vaniman, who1 already had one thrilling experi ence in an airship on. the ocean, were: Calvin Vaniman, his younger broth- er. Fred Elmer. George Bourrllllon, of Philadelphia, Walter C. Gest, a friend of Vaniman'! financial backer. Up to sundown, 'two bodies, those of Calvin Vaniman and Bourlllon, had been recovered from the wreckage which lies submerged in about 18 feet of wa ter off Brlgantlne Beach. The Akron, which had been Inflated last February with gas manufactured by Vaniman in the big hangar, was taken out shortly after 6 A. M., for a test flight. One flight already had been made about a month ago and defects discovered at that time were remedied and today's trial was to have been among the last prior to the attempt to cross the Atlantic. Wife Sees Husband. Mrs. Vaniman bid her husband good bye at their little cottage near the hangar at 2 A. M.. and watted for daybreak to see her husband sail away. The city authorities had been noti fied of the Intended flight, and 100 po licemen, firemen and other willing elpers assisted In floating the great gas ba out of the hangar. The launch ing of 'the air craft was accomplished without difficulty and she sailed grace fully away. Over the waters of Ause con Inlet, Vaniman maneuvered, then sailed over the city and after complet ing a few other movements, shaped the ship's course out to sea. When a half-mile off Brlgantlne Beach, the thousands of spectators tvho who had watched the ship saw a burst of flame outlined against the morniivi sky. In a few seconds they were horri fied to see the car of the balloon de tach Itself from the balloon and shoot downward Into the water, followed by the collapsed gas bag. Boats Rush to Rescue. By Intuition everybody appeared to have realized what had occurred and fishermen and yachtsmen who were out In - the little boats watching the ship. Immediately started to the rescue. Power boats and every other kind of craft In the resort were brought Into use and soon 100 boats were beating their way out over the rough waters of the Inlet bar. When the first boats reached the scene of the wreck the rescurers found nly the collapsed gas bag and after search, a submerged body, wlilcli proved to that of the younger Vanlmun, was recovered. Among the first on the scene were the Federal Lite Savcrx, tationed In Atlantic City. Divers went to the wreck, but there was little that could be done until low tide, when BourlUon's body was disentangled from the wreckage and brought ashore. Mrs. Vaniman Sees Tragedy, Mrs. Vaniman saw the collapse of tht balloon and Its drop Into the ocean. carrying with It her husband and broth er-in-law. She fell In a faint. Friends who were with her sent for phyniclans nd when she recovered consciousness she talked of her husband's bravery. The wives of Bourrllllon, Gest and El mer, who live near by, also saw tht disaster from their homes.
