Lowden and Johnson were the two most talked of candidates on "Presidential Row" today. Thers are still many observers who say that a forecast cannot be made. They take a kind of "you tell 'em I haven't got ths spirits'" view of the situation. Frank H. Hitchcock, one of Wood's advisers, remained in his room all day.

Rivals said he was sulking The entire Wood organization is alarmed, they charge, over the losses their candidate has suffered the past week. As proof of this they point to ths fact that a conference of the Wood chiefs has been called for Monday. William Cooper Procter and Wood himself will be herel for tlie council of war. They will make strjnuous efforts to stage a comeback. Lowdea Men Working Hard, Lowden workers assert they are the only persons along the row who have enough confidence In victory to keep on working.

They have' scouts every vantage point to talk to arriving delegates. They are putting up a strong battle and predicted late today that they will have 230 votes on the first ballot "We are lining up the delegates and forming a battaMon of death," one Low den worker remarked today. Johnson big card will undoubtedly be played the night of June 7, when he will speak at the Auditorium. A demonstration will be made then that will show ths delegates Just where he stands in the estimation of the people. Assignments Made for Seats.

The machinery for the convention got under way today wheivss-elgnments were mads for seats. The Connecticut delegates will have the first two rows right In front of the speakers. The many contests from southern states brought out a new protest today against size of delegations permitted trom the south. Somaof the disgruntled delegates say the southern delegations should be cut down In the future. A movement to have that done will probably be started when ths convention gets down to business.

Because of the large number of con tests to be heard it is predicted that a great deal of bitter feellne will be aroused before the convention meets. One of the things that is counted on to start, the is the fact that the national committee has given Lowden the edge -by labeling the Lowden delei gates as officially reported, and ths Wood delegation the contesting group. One of the rumors on "Presidential row" was the "Old Guard" will get its sweet revenge on Johnson this year, because he helped defeat them in 112. Senator Boise Penrose and Murray Crane, of Massachusetts are said to have fixed up the convention mill stones so as to grind the Callfornlan down slowly. They plan to take the rough edges off gradually eq that the operation will not be painful.

He declared that General Wood Is the strongest candidate on tbe Republican Ide and will be chosen at the eonven- RAIL CHIEFS Special Committee Will Co- operate With I. C.
