PRIMARY VOTES BRING LENROOT TO FRONT, DARK HORSE FAVORED Hopeless Deadlock Is Seen WhenChicago Convention Selects Nominee in July (By United Press.) | WASHINGTON, April 9.—Pros- |.pects of a dark horse winning the Republiéan nomination at Chicago were materially increased by re- |sults in the Michigan and, New York primaries, according to. the view expressed in political circles here. | Also Lenroot stock went booming as the situaiion was analyzed in cloak- {rooms and hotel lobbies. ) Each successive primary shows the Jeading candidates for the nominations more “hopelessly deadlocked. The be- lief now is that the Johnson, Wood, Lowden and Hoover factions will be so evenly matched by the time the con- vention meets that no one of these candidates will be strong enough to force others into line. i& A compromise on some one not in the convention is the only solution that uppears likely. Lenroot is in the race. Among the dark horses who probably would come to the top in such a dead- lock are Senator Lenroot of Wiscon- sin, Governor Henry: Allen of Kansas and- Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania. CURTIS CONFIRMS REPORT OF THE LENROOT BOOM When shown the above dispatch Frank G. Curtis, intimate associate of friends who are behind the Lenroot boom and who has just returned from Washington and other eastern points, confirmed its ver- acity with the statement that Lenroot is on the tongue of scores of well-in formed forecasters of political events} in Washington and elsewhere who pre- dict that he will not only emerge as the successful hard horse of the convention but will also carry strong initial sup- port to Chicago, Mr. Curtis reiterates his confidence in the outcome of the Chicago meeting.
