, \ « oa HUGHES’ STOCK SOARS ON EVE OF BIG CONVENTION elegates Mill Around Hotel Lobbies hd: ai A ere LINEUPZOF BIG THREE IN; DOUBT TILL VOTE Lack of Leaders Is Striking Feature, Bosses Find ‘Alibi for Past Action. (By Associated ress.) CHICAGO, June 7.—No changes appeared today in the convention lineup and none is expected. Twen- ty-four hours before the conven- tion assembled, it is an absolutely unbossed, unled affair, and as be- wildered delegates mill around hotel lobbies, bewailing the absence of leader- ship, the men who were real leaders of years gone by find satisfaction in refer- ring to the charges of bossism so freely hurled at them at former conventions. They are asking delegates if it is not better to be led than lost. No campaign manager has been able to sirengthen his lines enough-to go in with confidence for a real test vote. Each is awaiting for the first ballot to demon- strate how good are the assurances he has received from uninstructed dele- gates. All managers look for the first ballot to settle the outlook considerable for the big three—Johnson, Lowden and Wood. Th y feel. that the candidate who ds at the bottom of the list will be ed decidedly on the defensive, and ndidate who can make a gain on the second ballot, the managers feel, will provide his manager with valuable ammunition for rounding up things for the third. Dark horse talk is still in the background, Today's business ‘was Iirgely atnong state delegations, which are organizing for electing members to convention committees, Several good fights in the selection of national committeemen are} being staged. Campaign managers and } others continue to get reflexes from the senate’s campaign expenditures invest tion at Washington. Men who are ing in from the states are bringing the view that the convention might bét- ter find a candidate who has not bgen | mentioned in that investigation at all. lt was from such as these that came most frequently the names of Hughes, Goy. Coolidge and others, who did not figure in any way in’ the slush fund in- quiry. The New York delegation has postponed until Wednesday its discus- sion of candidates. The decision was reached at the request of Nicholas Mur- ray Butler, who said he did not want to r any complimentary or “fav- orite son” votes. i want the New York delegates to have a chance to look over the situa- tion,” he said. “I have made it plain that Tam not seeking any complimen- tary vote. This is no time for paying compliments, I do not wish any fav- crite son votes. I want only the votes of those who have faith in my candi- (acy and who sineerely desire to sup- port me. I am not willing to be made & pawn in any campaign. As the sit- uation has developed, it seems not un- likely that delegates from New York, figure prominently in making the final Pennsylvania, Indiana and Iowa may decision, It is for New York delegates and not for me to decide how best to use their great opportunity to give to New York again its position of com- manding leadership in’ the national or- the “All the big fellows will have their trial heats, but I don’t see how they are going to get by,” said Gov.
