P’ WOOD AND LOWDEN CONING FORWARD * Supporters Claim Strength But No Definite Line-up Chicago, June 9.—~Delegates to the republican national convention as- sombled at the Coliseum today for the second session with thelr views as to who shall lead the party at the polls next November still a mystery cven (o themselves. While giving uproarious approval Yestorday to Chalrman Lodge's key- note address calling for destruction of the “Wilson dynasty” not a sign of a4y preference came from the thou- sand whose votes will select the re- publican presidential cundidate to un- dertuke the job. There were no dem- onstrations even for favorite sons; no mention of the “big three” among the uspirunts, Wood, Johnson and Low- den Working with unprecedented free- dom from centralized leadership or “boss™ control, the delegates prompt- ly ratified a program designed to make permanent the temporary or- ganization. Adoption of the organiza- tion cdmmittee’s report, a foregone result will place the gavel In the hands of Senator Lodge as the per- manent presiding officer and set the convention off on the second stage of its journey with little prospect that it will reach a ballot on the presi- dential nomination before Friday or possibly Friday night. Wood Gets Comfort. Out of other developments yester- duy, however, whicn placed Senator L Watsoh, Indiana, at the head of the & platform building machinery of the « rcsolutions committes and made Ed- ward D. Duffield of New Jersey chair- man of the credentials committee, General Wood's licutenants drew mueh comfort. Both men are dele- gates Instructed for Wood. Frank Hitchcock invested yesterday with authority of supreme commander over the Wood fleld forces, saw a ‘psychological” advantage to his can- “didate In the “victory.” Leaders who in other days were the ™ main spring of party action did mot share Mr. Hitchcock's views. They continued to talk much of Governor Lowden galning strength while from hnmp. of Senator Johnson and the governor came assertions ® candidates themselves that Msatisfied” with the situa- tion coupled with expressions of op- »* timism as to the outcome of the bal. loting.

P been slighted by those who have l-ny phase of the nationa! life has the committee's sought vi to guide ews. Among those to be heard today was Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor Added importance attached to his Appearance because of the fact that the federation now is commitied to full politieal activity under a slogan that no enemy of labor shall gain public office if labor can prevent it Whilé the full resolutions com- mittee is engaged with these hear- ings, however, a sub-committee of 13 named last night by Senator Watson and over which he will also preside, ( will proceed with the actual cutting and fitting of platform planks. On its face this move was designed to seek harmony on proposed party dec- larations of principle views of all can- didates for nominations being repre- sented in the sub-committec person- nel. The four U. 8. senators, includ- ing Watson, who are included recall vividly diverging views as to treaty | ratification on the majority side in the long senate battle. Deliberations of the resolutions sub-committee as to the treaty plank were watched with particular inter- est. There has been an under-cur- rent of feeling that if it did not sat- isfy the Johnson-Borah demands for repudiation of the League of Nations covenant in its entirety, the two sen- ators might carry the fight to the floor of the convention itself. Both have hinted at such a course in re- cent statements or speeches and about those hints has grown up talk of a Johnson bolt. Examination of the remarks of the two “irreconcilable” leaders in the treaty fight, however, discloses noth- ing of a positive nature as to Senator Johnson's plans, and it appeared ob- vious that ,Senator Watson had as- sembled his platform sub-committee for the purpose of avoiding a clash on the floor through bringing to bear on formulation of the treaty plank all variations of opinion as to what it should say. —— LIQUOR RAIDS TODAY. New York, June 9.—Federal pro- hibition enforcement agents operating out of New York yesterday made their first important raid since the suprome court declared aridity legal. Swooping down on a farm house in the hills near Pearl River, N. Y., they seized whiskey valucd ai $50,060 and arrested a former New York sa- loonkeeper. TWO AVIATORS KILLED. San Antonio, Tex., June 9.—Avia- tion Cadets Roy W. Ellington of Mc- Croy, Ark., and Harold Brawley of ( Mildred, Mont., were killed at Kelly | field yesterday when their airplane { went into a tail spin and fell 2,000 feet, bursting into flames when it struck earth. ALL NIGHT SESSION Credentials Committee Overrules National Body Thrice Chicago, June 9.—Working all night at forced draft speed the cre- dentials committee completed the 4:30 a. m. Previous the national convention at rulings on contests by three cases. In disposing of 103 appeals from | the decisions made last week by the national committee, two delegates were taken from Governor Lowden— one in Georgia and one In Tennessce —and given to General Wood, but in the fifth Missouri (Kansas City) dis- trict where the national cominittee refused to seat anyone the creden- tials committee seated two Lowden men, leaving the standing for the two candidates unchanged. The permanent roil will be ready for presentation to the convention when it meets at 11 o'clock this morning. Robert R. Churchl, negro Lowden delegate, was the Tennessee case in which the national committee was over-ruled. He was ousted in favor of Charles B. Quinn, white, instructed for Wood, when Quinn’s counsel de- clared the Church faction had bolted the district convention. Other cases decided early today and completing the roll, all confirmations of the national committee’'s findings, ‘were: Eleven Lowden delegates South Carolina seated. ~ The entire Texas delegation headed by National Committeeman H. F. McGregory and reported as split among Wood, Lowden, Johnson and Harding, seated. The 15 Virginia delegates headed by Representative C. B. Slemp seated. There is probability of further bat- tles on contested seats when the re- port of the credentials committee is lald before the convention. In some cases, including the Tennessee case, efforts to over-rule the committee by vote of the convention v-are planned. As the repert does not eiwabody any serious departure from the temi’orary roll or affect enough votes to make it an important object for supporters of any candidate to over.ride the com- mittee, however, no long struggle was expected. from Remember When Buying— The Best Corn Flakes Made Are Post Toasties Their flavor, their crispness, their texture — everything about Post Toasties is BEST.
