FIGHT | AGAINST ELIMINATION After n Support Sought for Wood;-Dark Horse Stock Looking Up horse—this is the choice the Republican national! convention is destined to take when it resumes balloting on the nomination of a candidate, for presi- dent at 10 a. m. today in the opinion’ of jority of the party leaders who participated in the night in ie vin bal yesterday there were forr confabs at the Blackstone including Senators Wadsworth, Watson, New, Mc- Cormick, Former*Senators Crane and Weeks and Charles Warten of Michigan. Lowden is stronger than Wood as the situation was vied in these gathet- ings. Governor Lowden @robably will triumph ovér General Wood today in j the struggle between these two major rivals who fought each other to a standstill on the first four ballots and brought about the adjournment of the convention’ over night. The complete | elimination of Wood was viewed by many of these leaders as an imminent possibility, whereupon Governor Low- den would forge forward with a mo- mentum that might easily carry him to Victory, In .the*event that jr should fail of-nomination there will oupirane ariVe"H" behal ‘ ling of Ohio. Dark horses were Jisa@ reviewed in the night conferences, particularly Senator Knox of Pennsyl- vanija, Charles Evans Hughes and Gov- ernor Coolidge of Massachusetts. ALL NIGHT CONFERENCES FAIL TO BRING CERTAINTY. In\@ score of gatherings of senators of state delegations held through the night arrangements were made to swing upward of 100 votes to Governor Lowden in the early stages of the bal- loting today and the Lowden managers are confident that this movement will 'develop sufficiently further to achieve the nomination of the governor. A. T. Hert of Kentucky, Lowden floor man- ager, predicted that the governor would be nominated today. WOOD MANAGERS IN Niepcaige soe! FIGHT, The Wood managers, though patent- ‘iy discouraged by their failure to roll | up @ larger vote for the general on the} four ballots, fought desperately all through the night to hold their ground today and prevent the elimination of) their candidate. Wood is scheduled to gain approximately 50 votes at the start today but his managers were unable| this morning to foresee a total of more than 360 delegates. { JOHNSON VOTES ARE |nOUGHT FOR WOOD. | In @ last ditch effort to prevent the} elimination of Wood today, Frank ssnox of New Hampshire and Gover-| nor Alien of Kansas, made overtures to Senator Johnson to come to the gen- erai’s rescue with sufficient votes to, | keep Wood in the race and stop Low-) den, Jobnson declined to furnish the aid desired because it would mean his} own elimination from the contest. | | The fact is, however, that Johnson nas few delegates outside of Califor-| nia and Montana whom he could de- liver. If he should try,. his forces are expected to begin disintegrating almost as soon as the voting begins this morn- ing. Some of his delegates are going «o Wood and many to Lowden. 2 a Sisk ss Cea HARDING TAKES NO CHANCE, OUT FOR REELECTION (By United Preas.) COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 12.—Senator Wairen G.
