Uselessly (2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in vain

(Other definitions for in vain that I've seen before include "Without achieving anything" , "Uselessly, a waste of time" , "Without success or result" , "To no end" , "Uselessly, without any progress" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
