An the mighty dirigible- plunged

Today's Contest Opens With Switch
of Illinois and Virginia Inte Column
of New Jerseyite and Despair Over
whelming Clark Forces.
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. Thoy clalmod to
have 3G3 "last ditch" votes for
Clark on whom thoy could roly to
hold out agaliiBt Wilson all summer
If noccssnry, To ths tho VfWtqn '
men replied that It tho New Jorsey
man rocolvod anything like 010
votes no power on earth could keep
tho antl-Wllson delegates from
climbing onto the bandwagon.
