THE WASHINGTON TDIES, FBIDAT, JUNE 21, 1012. Convention City Putting on Gala Attire for Event D OF PEACE LEAVES PERCH AT BALTMOR E Selection of Parker Likely to Precipitate Fight With Bryan. By THEODORE TILLER. BALTIMORE. June 21. Wlien mem bers of tlio national committee went down to Convention Hall today they missed the dove of peace, which has been Hitting nbout the big armory for the past ten days. The peac- bird flew away overnight, and everybody knows the reason why. Judge Alton B. Parker lias been se lected temporary chairman of the Demo cratic convention and Mr. William Jen nings Bryan will be here about Mon day. That's all. A week ago as the delegates and boomers began to airlve in this Mary land town, there were many canned in terviews about a Democratic conven tion which would be the antithesis of the squally affair at Chicago. 'Twas declared that everybody was happy and that the Democratic gathering would be a thing to delight Andrew Carnegie and Congi cssmari Bartholdt, consistent advocates of a quiet and uneventful existence. That, however, was last week. In go ine ahead with the Deace nlana. no one thought to call up Mr. Bryan, who has created more or less disturbance in the Democratic party for the last sixteen vears. It finally occurred to Chairman Mack and Josephus Daniels, of the Democratic national committee, that the Nebraskan should be consulted be fore the selection of Judge Paiker as temporary chairman was confirmed. His Opinion. It's recent hlstor.v as to what Mr. Bryan said about Judge Parkci and the "suicide" of his beloved party in the event the "conservative'' judge and one time Presidential candidate were named, Nevertheless, the subcommittee on ar langements met yesterday afternoon, determined that Mr. Uran s advice might be consigned to the sciap neap, and that Judge i'urKer was eminently fitted to deliver the kenotc speech at the opening of the convention. The ontl-Parker stiengtli wai divided among four candidates, and Inasmurh as the plurality rather than the majority rulo was Invoked In the committee room It was determined that Judge Parker was selected. Then the committeemen, having defied Bryan, came out of the meeting and be gan to wonder what the "Peerless Leader" would do about It. There's little doubt about Mr Bryan's couise, accord ing to those who reptoscnt the Uryan Wilaon contingent neto. The Nebras kan will end his labois as a. newspaper reporter at the Chicago convention about aunaay, will rush into Baltimore, hall a taxlcab, and scurry to the Bel vedeie, where he will lead the not acfT The selection of Judge Parker will bo rcfened to the full Democratic national committee Momlav. Mr. Bryan Is ex pected to take the light thcic, and U he Is defeated in the full committee, which is probable, he may appeal to the convention Itself. in which event all peace plans will go to pieces, and the Baltimore conven tion will be almost as Interesting as t!e struggle now in piogrt-Bs at Chicago, Time To Start. "If we must lick Br.van, nli not be gin It right away?" asked a member of the national committee after the vote had been taken, "jf ho Intends to bo an issue In this thing, the sooner we ,declde the Issue and get down to busi ness the better it will be This 1b not nine lor internal dissensions." The vote on the temporary chali man ship shows a rather queer alliance 'be lecognlzed Bijan and Wilson men divided their votes between Congi ess man Ollle James of Kentucky and Con gressman Henry of Texas Mr James Is supporting Champ Claik, while Mr Henry Is a Wllsonlte. The Champ Claik men on the sub committee, however, lined up for Judge t'anter Roger Sullivan, heading the large Illinois delegation, ond National Committeeman Talbott. heading the Clark delegation from Marlandt were foi the formei Judge. This alignment caused the Wilson man to shout that the Speaker had gone over to the con servatives, and that the lines between Claik and Wilson were more taut than ever It has been persistently denied among the Clark campaign manage! s, however, that they were taking any active light In the temporary chairmanship They took the attitude of the Harmon people, that "any good, infpartlal man" would do AVIth the exception of the Bryan and Wilson clan, all of the candidates seemed to think that New York and its ninety delegates should have the right to specify the temporal y chair man. Judge Parker was Charles Mur phy s selection, and the Tammanj chieftain Insisted all the more upon the selection of Judge Parker aftei Tam many had heard of the Bryan ulti matum Wilson, It Is known, has little hone of obtaining the New York votes, so he has erased to flirt with Tummon, and the Indications are that he will take the cue from Bryan and go Into the con vention shouting "progresslvism ugalust conservatism.
