SPOKE TOO SOON,

BALTIMORE, Juno 26. Judge Parker returned thanks for his election as temporary chairman. Ho was congratulating ihe meeting on its superior orderliness compared with Chicago, when an uproar abruptly terminated the sitting. POSITION MORE COMPLICATED. NEW YORK, Juno 26. In view of the. fact that a twoHards majority is required for nominai'on, it is significant that neither Judge Parker nor Mr. Bryan controls H’e Convention. Mr. Roosevelt’s agents at Baltimore are seeking to induce Air. Brian, in the event of defeat, to jrm forces with Mr. Roosevelt. Hence the Conservatives are confronted with the, necessity of conciliating the Radicals. Other reports state that Senator Champ Clark is now favoured as the Democratic Candidate for the Presidency.
