Giving up ail attempts to break the existing deadlock, the leaders in the Democratic party at 1;05 clock Satur day morning decided upon adjournment until 1 oclock in the afternoon in the hope that some sort of agreement might be reached as tfa presidential nominee. Twelve ballots had been taken 11 dur ing the night. Many of the delegates protested against the delay caused by the adjournment, but apparently there was no hope of settling the nomination d conferences on the convention floor. Clark made a sensational gain on the ' loth ballot, when New Xork"s solid Mock of aO votes went to him on this . ballot, Mr. Clark's total reaching a higi. water mark of 556. a clear majority, but 170 votes short of the necessary two thirds to nominate.

The night vote cast by Mr. Murphy was nearly always greeted with mingled hisses and cheers. Leaders in the convention viewed the situation with some concern when the mc-ht session adjourned. The Clark strength seemed to have been fully tested and he was still far snort. Gov. Wilson did not make the gains that his managers expected. There was a report at adjournment that the New York delegation would desert Clark on the next ballot.

The situation was apparently as badly mixed as ever as the tired delegates filed out of the convention hall shortly before daybreak to seek a little rest before ,?oing on with the struggle in the afternoon. Ballots Always Similar. The results of the roll calls up to the ninth were discouragingly similar. None of the leading candidate made anv material gains or losses. The air was full of rumors o.f ' deals and "trades." A shift that would throw a deciding vote to one candidate or an other was looked for on every ballot by some of the delegates, while others ex pected an all night session, . The crowded galleries and floor suf fered in the muggy heat that settled over the big room. The long expected break In the New York delegation came In the 10th bal lot when that state gave Clark 90 votes tinder the unit rule. There was a dem onstration by Clark sympathisers. While the Clark demonstration was 5n progress there were several fisticuffs on the floor. This was followed by an enthusiastic Bryan-Wilson demonstration that lasted for almost an hour and delayed ballot Ins that much. The conclusion of the 12th ballot a 1.55 a. m., the last or of the night gave the vote as follow: Clark. 57: Wilson, 354; Underwood, 128; Harmon, 29: Marshall, 30; Kern, 1; Bryan, 1; not lotlng, 2.

Mr. Bryan believes that he has achieved a great moral victory in se curing the passage of his ilorgan-Ryan-Belmont resolution, which was hurled into the convention like a bombshell last night- Over the break fast table Mr. Bryan talked freely of the resolution. Asked what the effect would be, he renlied: "You wait for a week." "There has never been such align ment of a political pa:ty against any interest. Just see the vote that was cast for the resolution." "Is not the resolution nullified by the elimination of the last clause, de manding the withdrawal of any dele gates representing me iuuisit-"j Belmont interest?" "No," replied Mr. Bryan with empha sis. "The last clause was merely put ting into effect the first clause. When before in any convention have we had such men named?" "What do you think of Virginias vote In favor of this resolution? There were 23 1-2 votes for it and one-half vote against It And Thomas F. Xyan was sitting in the delegation.
