CHICAGO OVER AGAIN.

.SITTING SUSPENDED BY UPROAR.

MR BRYAN'S PROSPECTS POOR

ACTIVITY OF MR ROOSEVELT'S AGENTS. *

MR CHAMP CLARK FAVOURED.

(Received Juno 26, 9.10 p.m:) Baltimore, Juno 26.

.■Mr Bryan, when proposing. Mr J. W. Kern as chairman- of the Democratic Convention, said the country was waiting to hear whether1 the Convention would follow the Chicago Republican Convention in listening to the voice of predatory wealth. The same interest w'.hich had converted the Chicago Convention into a farce was more brazenly working in Baltimore.

Mr Kern appealed to Judge., Parker to co-operate in selecting a compromise chairman. Otherwise Mr Bryan would contest it.

Judge Parker returned thanks for his election as temporary chairman, and was congratulating tho . meeting upon its superior orderliness over the Chicago Convention, when an uproar abruptly terminated the sitting.

In view of the two-thirds majority required for nomination, it is significant that neither Judge Parker nor :Vi r

on controls the Convention."

Mr Roosevelt's agents aro in Baltimore seeking to induce Mr Bryan, in tho event of his defeat, to join forces with the RoosGveltcrs. Hence the Conservatives are confronted with the ne■eessitv of conciliating the Radicals.

Another report states that Mr Champ •ClaTk is now favoured as the Democratic -candidate ofr the Presidency.
