The resolutions committee, of which Bryan Ii a member la at work but Will not report the document until Thursday, The pian of the dominant faction is now to make the temporary or* ganlsatlon permanent, but this may 1 not be put through. The only real tight before the credentials committee is the coutest from Illinois and this may take up considerable time. Bome think CJaynor is still the leading "dark horse'' candidate, but a boom for Kern Is being nursed by the Indiana delegates. The Clark managers are thought to have an agreement with Murphy, Taggart, Sullivan and other old line bosses and they profess to be confident of victory. The Wilson leaders say Clark can? not get enough votes on first or second ballots to win. and then his delegates Will flop to Wilson. who will win on the fourth or fifth bal? lot. The machine which put Parker through controls enough votes to name the candidate of its choice. but it is believed that the bosses are Satisfied With the temporary chair? manship and the overthrow of Bryan ind Will let the delegates Vote M> they will. The defeat of Bryan yesterday has not materially weakened his Intluence in the convention, but there is not now much talk of his nomination. He. however, controls enough votes, it Is claimed, to deadlock the con? vention if the machine crowd at? tempts to make a conservative can? didate.

There Is much dis? satisfaction and visitors are suffer? ing great inconvenience. Baltimore, June 26,?The resolu? te ni committee named Senator Q'Gorman. of New York and Rayner. of M iryland, to ask Bryan to accept the chairmanship of the committee. The conservatives hoped by this move to SWlng Bryan Into line, but Bryan refused and made it plain that he feired that the committee had been packed against him. Bryan said: "1 refuse because, as tin Individual member, l can make a fight for the principles I stand for. and. if defeated I can reserve the right to carry the light to toe floor of tin- Convention and then to the people of the Cnlted States. 1 in? tend to plan a National, not ward politics/' Senator Kern, of Indiana, a Bryan supporter, was then unani? mously chos.-n chairman. Joseph E, Bell, of Indiana. was elected chairman of the credential committee.
