The Demo cratic national convention was called to order shortly after the noon hour today. The galleries of the great Fifth Regiment armory were parked almost to the straining point and people were still pouring in when Chairman Mack of the Democratic national committee dropped his gavel. All the delegates were not yet in thetr seats on the floor. When quiet had been sufficiently re stored Secretary Vrey Woodson read the convention call. Cardinal Gibbons of the Roman Catholic church then offered prayer. It was then Chairman Mack's duty to announce the national committee's selection for temporary chairman of the convention. The chair man said Judge Alton B. Parker, presi dential candidate in 1904, was the com mlttee's choice and the first fight of the convention was precipitated. Judge Parker's selection was rati fled at a session of the national com mlttee by a vote of 31 to 22. Ollie James of Kentucky got 20 votes and Judge O'Gorman of New York 2. Later this afternoon a committee on credentials, consisting of one member from each state, will be appointed. Its work will be almost perfunctory as there are only a few contest?! seats, committee on resolutions, which will draft the platform, with a similar representation, will be named. Bryan will be named as the Nebraska repre sentative on the resolutions committee and as such will lead the fight for a progressive declaration of principles for the party. The Democratic campaign Is seeth Ing with excitement this morning over the contest that the Commoner has precipitated upon what promised to be a notably harmonious meeting. Lines are forming sharply between the radi cals and conservatives in the party and there Is certain to be bitter fight ing which will knock into a cocked hat all the plans that had been carefully laid for pointing to the country the spectacle of a sane and united Democracy. The anti-Bryan forces led by Charles F. Murphy have made a careful can vass of the delegates and declared that they would elect Judge Parker by at least a majority of 130. It was said this morning that Bryan might run against Parker. There was, however, one serious objection to this. Colonel Bryan will not be able to make a speech In behalf of himself and in this opening struggle lu which a nomina tion of himself may be Involved he desires to exert to the fullest extent his well known oratorical power. Bryan men, however, were absolute ly confident of being able to defeat Parker on the floor of the convention. They were not as exacting in their figures as the opposition but they said they would control the convention by a safe majority. The hopes of the conservatives to control the convention against Bryan He chiefly now in the attitude of Speaker Champ Clark. Mr. Clark un doubtedly has it in his power to save the day for Bryan, lie may also but of this there is a good deal of doubt have the power to throw enough' votes to Parker to ee him through safely. However the ultuntion is viewed, though, Speaker Clark finds himself between two fires. If be throws his support to Bryan, he will, in the opin ion of leaders, be committing political suicide. On the olher hand, if Mr. Clark lines up fiinily lor Parker he will be face to faca with a threatened revolt Yi his own ranks, as many of Bryan's friends are pmong the Clark delegates. While the Clark boom has been hard hll by recent developments a good n any people were wondering what Voodrow Wilson expected to get through the stand that he has taken at Bryan's side. The Wilson people, however, are banking on the hope that while the convention will hp controlled by radicals It will demand spme progressive other than Mr. Bryan. There will be a bitter fight In favor of the delegates instructed In the pri maries and against the unit rule. Said a New York delegate: "The tactlc3 of the Harmon man agers In regard to the delegates from Ohio will not be tolerated. The voters rejected nine of Harmon's delegates at the polls and hfl must abide by the result. We have In our organization some deleg:ues instructed for Clarli and some ur Wilson and they wH vote for our randidutes as soon M Clark and Wllaun are withdrawn." Baltimore Headlines, Norman E.
