WOMAN DELEGATE FOR BRYAN

Is Instructed for Clark, but Favors the Nebraskan.

Baltimore, June 25.-Mary Wright Hutton is from Spokane, Wash., and she is one of the two women delegates to the Democratic national convention. She is instructed for Champ Clark, but she wants William J. Bryan to be nominated and does not hesitate to say so.

"I told you so," was her first word as she alighted from a taxicab at the Belvidere. "Taft was nominated. I'll tell you something else. Champ Clark may be accepted by this convention, but William Jennings Bryan ought to win this time. I'll obey instructions to vote for Clark so long as he has a chance, but after that I shall vote for the Nebraskan, instructions or no instructions."
