HAI.TIMOm;, June 27.- Mrs. Taft,
wife of the president, wns one of the
early nrrivnls. Sho was tho guest of
locnl frlenns nml wna rIvoii a sent di
rectly back of the sinker's stands.
Many of the wives of tho democratic
lenders were prosonted to her while
tho hnll slowly filled. By 11:45 a.
in. the galleries were all filled, but
fewer than 1100 delegates woro In
their seats.
At 12 o'clock, tho hour sot for the
convention to assemble. Temporary
Chairman Parker hml not yet put in
nn npponrnnce. Tho crowd was tho
Inrgest of the convention to date nnd
tho congestion In the aisles was so
great that neither the scrgeants-nt-arms,
nor the pollco could make any
Impression on It.
At 12:30 every sent In the building
had been filled and scores woro stand
ing along the gallery walls in the
roar of tho hall under tho gallery.
The firemen on duty woro ordered
to aid the police In nn effort to clear
the aisles loading to tho exists, but
the crowd refused to midge oven for
thoKD men.
Tho delay in calling tho conven
tion to order was said to bo duo to an
(itteiupt to secure n compromise on
the contests, especially thoso from
Illinois and South Dakota.
Champ Clark banners woro being
pinned to many of tho state stand
ards. It wns known to many of the
delegates that the Clark forces de
sired to make u supremo effort to put
their mini across on tho first bal
lot. They had rooters placed In the
galleries, whore thoy could do tho
most good when tho tlmo came. A
Clark plcturo was attached to the
Arknnsns state standard, only to be
Indignantly snatched away by one of
tho delegates.
A woman In tho galleries nlinost
put the convention out of business
Inst night by throwing her alinwl
over tho rails nnd completely cover
tug the clock on tlm outside of tho
balcony. The convention literally
"marked tlmo" until n sorgeant-at-
arms uncovered tho dial.

I IS LARGEST AMONG
IlALTIMOItK. Md., June 27. Tho
lengthy session of last night In tho
torrid atmosphere of the convention
hall was reflected in tho democratic
national convention today. Because
of a belief that the convention was
certain to reach the nominating
stage today, the street fakirs did a
thriving business in flags and pen
nants. Kach delegate armed himself
with nt least one pennant bearing the
name and picture of his favorite can
didate, so that, when the tlmo ar
rived to explode tho notso coqnons,
the crowd would havo the ammuni
tion ready.
In addition, big banners were
smuggled to the hall nnd hidden in
places where they could easily bo
produced when tho moment came.
Clnrk banners and buttons predomi
nated. Thoro was no denying the
speaker's following was largor than
any other candidate. A count of
noses indicated that even though ho
should get Now York's delegates on
tho first ballot and tho bulk or the
other unlnstructed delegates, he
would be far short of the two-thirds
voto necessary to nominnto.
In anticipation of n lively as well
as a protracted session, tho dole
gates also armed themselves with a
goodly supply of uolso producing In
struments, such as baby rattles, horns
ami the like.
