(0>Vi;\T!0> AT BALTIMORE. When* Officers and Pel w is lvill lit I Quartered?(ireat (iatlierlnar oil June '2">. I Baltimore, .Tune 13.?Only part of the work accomplished by the Demo- j cratic National convention, whichI opens here on June 25, will be per- j formed in the convention hall. The I results will appear there, but' before J these results are attained lights win i |>urn far into the night at various hotels and office buildings throughout "the city, where convention headquarters Iiave been established by the national organization and the organizations supporting the candidates for places on the national ticket. A political convention is a law unto i^nrjprs flnd committees i AtOCXL. 1? ii/uvuv ; to plan their work the great body of delegates could make little headway, l?ut even the most astute leader canI not always know when the delegates j "will upset carefully prepared routine.j NevertheUss, until the delegates bal- j lot and one of the candidates receives i the two-thirds vote necessary fori nomination. those_ w-ho are trying to! learn in advance what the result will be will watch these Headquarters. A national convention has been likened to a great engine in whicl} the fly wheel is the national committee, j the governors the committees on credentials and resolutions and the fuel is the body of delegates, which supply th<e motive power, controlled and regu. lated by these committees. National Committee. The actual work of the convention ! started here when members of the na- j tional committee began to arrive. This j committee ocnsists of 52 members, one I from each State and from Alaska. Dis- j trict of Columbia, Hawaii and Porto! Rico. Its quarters are at the Hotel i r j Belvedere situated in the Mt. Royalj district within walking distance of the j convention hall. The two top floors | of the Belvedere have been engaged; by the committee, including 65 bed i l rooms, many with sitting rooms at- j . tached. In addition, the committee fcas taken the hotel banquet hall for its sessions. In this room the committee goes over the papers filed by the contesting delegates and prepares the temporary roll of the convention. ? - i This roll will be used wnen tne con- i vention is first called order. After j' tie committee on credentials is ap- j pointed those who are dissatisfied with ruling of the national committee will 1 take their claims before the new com- j ooittee. 1 I The committee on credentials, and j the resolutions committee which drafts the platform, as yet have no regular |; meeting place. Some of their work! may be done at the Belvedere in rooms ; allotted to them by the national com- j imttee, and some in the rooms assign ed to them at the convention hall. Taggart's Big Keserratioii. / ' Next to the rooms engaged by. the; national .committee, the largest reserv- | ation at the Belvedere has been made fcy Thomas Taggart, national commit- j teeman from Indiana. For the mem-j fcers of his committee and his friends Mr. Taggart has taken 50 rooms in the main buildings, with accommoda-i tions for 65 persons more in the Annex and tfte "Blue Parlor" on the second floor as State delegation head quarters. Other national committeemen in whose names large reservations have been made at the Belvedere axe: Roger C. Sullivan, Illinois; Homer S. Cummings, Connecticut; J. B. Kremer, Montana; A. J. Daly, Alaska; Alvah Adams, Colorado; Edwin O. i Wood, Michigan; Clark Howell. Geor-,( t at rinffpv. Pennsvlvania: Wil -&1<l > . lard Saulsbury, Delaware.

Tbe Underwood forces are the only anes that expect to have a whole hotel j to themselves. They have reserved an \ th rooms and parlors in the Eutaw house, one of the older hostelries at j the corner of Eutaw and Baltimore streets. This hotel was badly damaged by fire a few weeks ago, but it is expected that repairs will be finished before the convention opens. The hotel headquarters of the Wil.V . i Mmmamsm son, Harmon ami Clark workers are in the Emerson, at the corner of Calvert: and Charles streets, in the heart of the l business district and only half a block | from the Munsey and Equitable build ings. The Wilson committee has the banquet hall and parlor on the mezzanine floor and 14 bed rooms. The Harmon men have 15 sleeping rooms and a parlor on the mezzanine floor for thnir meetings. Bryan and Parker. Two of the notable figures in Balti- j more during the convention will be J William J. Bryan and Alton B. Parker, j the former thrice and the latter once j the choice of a Democratic Presidential convention. Col. Bryan conies as a delegate from Nebraska and Judge Parker as a delegate from New York. The Xebraskan and his brother have a suite at the Belvedere adjoining the rooms of the national committee, and the Nebraska delegation also has quarters in the same hotel. Judge Parker will stay at the Emerson, where the New York State delegation will make its headquarters, although not all the 90 delegates from that State have been able to obtain accom lUtKJitliUUS LUC1C. Tammany Headquarters. Tammany Hall has taken 25 rooms at the Emerson, having abandoned the plan of coming to Baltimore on a big -] steamer and using Mjc craft as a hotel! daring the convention. Other celebrities from the Empire State who have suites at this hotel are Governor Dix, U. S. Senator O'Gorman and Charles A. Murphy, the Tammany Hall leader. ^ ? 1 V* o n orimAnnA vUI.

The rooms of the New York leaders are expected to become one of the important skirmish grounds of convention week, since this State sends the largest delegation and its representatives i come uninstructed. Until develop-' ments in the convention hall itself are j oonnlusive the deliberations of the New York leaders and conferences at the headquarters of Mr. Bryan are ex-; pected to attract the greatest atten-j tion.
