As State After State Swings Into Line, Stampede to Professor Be comes Universal. BALTIMORE, Md., July 2. -At 12:07 James called tho convention to order and tho opening prayor wns delivered by Rev. George Oroso of the Grace M. E. church of Baltimore. James then gave orders for tho calling of the roll of tho forty-third ballot. Illinois was first to break for Wilson, casting Its cntlro voto under tho unit rulo When Virginia was called It was annuonced that for tbo first time the delegation was votfng under tho unit rule. Its 24 votes wcro Immed iately cast for Wilson amidst wild cheering from tho Wllsonltes who seemed to enjoy tho realization that T. F. Ryan, denounced by Bryan from tho platform of tbo convention, was ono of the defecates whoso tiaTt" voto was cast for tho New Jersey governor. Rynn and Bryan The Missouri dolegatlon from their scats In the front row began a chant of "Ryan and Bryant" "Ryan and Bryan! Don't tako tho Wall Street candidate." Tom Heflin, a congressman Ala bama and manger of the Underwood boom advised tho Alabama delega tion at 12:45 to switch to Wilson. John Bankhead, chairman of tho Alabama dolegatlon, bitterly de nounced Heflin. "Mind your own business, Tom," said Bankhead, with a scowl. "I am just trying to save your forces," said Heflin. "Strango things havo transpired during the past two hours which means that Wilson's nomination la now a certainty." Alabama, however, rofused to tnko any action. Tho Virginia break was a fcolcr tor tho antl-Wllson men and many of thorn admitted that thero would bo little chanco of preventing Wilson's nomination If another big stato went ovor. Bund Wagon Music This becamo almost a certainty when n moment later West Virginia cust her sixteen votes for Wilson. A number of stato chairmen woro now conferring with their candidates ami the Wilson sontlmont was obviously sweeping tho hall liko wildfire. There was a general feeling among ovon tho ultra-Clark men that only a most sensational turn of affairs could provont Wilson's nomination within tho noxt fow hours. Theodore A. Bell, Sonotor Stone, Senator Francis and others were working hard to gather men and hold one-third solid against Wilson and so prevent his nomination, Tho Maryland dolegatlon demand ed it bo pollod on tho forty-third ballot and this was done. Tho dele gation stood 5V6 for "Wilson to 0 for Clark with 1 absent. Tho Wil son men forced tho poll. Try to Stop Stampede Aftor tho forty-third ballot soma of tho ultra-Clark leadors said that whllo thoy would coucodo Wilson about G40 votes, that would bo tho limit of his voto and that ho could not bo nominated.
