THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAi. JUNE. 11, 1920 HOT BATTLE IS EXPECTED TODAY IN CONVENTION Wood Managers Count on ' Storm of Oratory and Hope Foi Success on Fourth RolJ Call. tfonttnned From First Fare.) Struggle. There was abundant evi dence all today of the powerful in fluences being exerted in numerous ..delegations to round up the neces sary votes for Wood and I encoun tered no less than half a dozen state leaders by no means friendly to the general, who opined that these ef forts had been attended with con siderable success. The- anti-Wood forces, however, were suprem&ly confident that Frank Hitchcock would be unable at any time to place Gen. Wood within ISO votes of the nomination and that they could hold their lines intact un til the Wood strength should begin to- disintegrate. , Gov. Lowden is the commanding figure in the field of opposition, to Wood and about him revolve all the plans for the elimination of the gen eral, some of the": plans contemplat ing the nomination of the Illinois governor and quite as many other plans contemplating his elimination 'also ff Wood "can be disposed of. Plan on 350 Votes. Wood deleeites in Indiana and several other stales are scheduled to inaugurate the swing to Lowden and the Lowden managers figure that this movement will develop strength ot more than votes lor rne gov ernor, after which the decision of the delegates to get aboard the band wagon will do the rest. A fortnight ago it looked as if Lowden had the nomination within his srrasD. Then the affair of the two Missouri delegates, who misap v propriated Lowden campaign funds, cave the eovernor's candidacy a se vere setback. His adversaries im mediately branded him as unavail able and a candidate at whom the democrats would hurl charges of purchased delegates throughout the campaign. The governor's instant repudiation of the Missouri dele gates, however, served to repair the ' injury done him to some extent, but whether sufficiently to restore his original prestige as candidate is considered problematical by some of his staunchest supporters. If both Wood and Lowden should ' be eliminated. Senator Johnson would remain .the strongest candi date in delegate strength, provided his delegates stick that long. 1 Help For Johnson. t-l .11 j.-ff 1 nc CUIlipublliun u riu UIllCI cmca over the platform, sparing the sen ' ttor the necessity of fighting the treaty plank in convention floor, has helped Johnson, in the opinion of some observers, who think that the softator would havebeen over ' whelmingly defeated in a platform fight and thereby eliminated from consideration as a candidatee. A considerable number of the sena tor's closest friends have been of the opinion for weeks that Johnson would be willing to accept second place on the ticket with Senator t Knox, at least one of them believed Johnson had so assured Knox. When, however, I asked Mr. John son whether he would be willing to -take the vice presidential nomina tion if Kno$ were named fry presi dent, he replied promptly and em phatically that he would not. Senator Johnson professed the ut most confidence that he would be nominated for president "I trust that the other candidates have the same degree of cheerful ness that 1 have, he said. As 1 have told you, I am here on a great matter of principle. We htive'been successful concerning that principle and its enunciation in the nlatform of the republican party. We have defeated the endeavor to I'ave the party declare for the ratification in any fashion of the league of nations. This in itself is an achievement of which we can be very, very proud. Opposed By Bankers. "Now, there are certain forces in this town at present who have said v with in imperious emphasis the fciperious emphasis of bygone days -that I shall not be nominated, These forces are a part of the great' 'international bankers. In this con ' vrntion, just as before the people, I am willing to pit whatever qualifi cation the Lord has given me against their power ' and their wealth and their influence. I have , beaten them before the people, and it is for the delegates to the conven tion to say what the result of the balloting which is to ensue will be. "I will start with a modest num ber of delegates in the begihing of the balloting and there are assur ances to me of subsequent acces sions." t Senator Johnson denied emphatic ally the truth of a report of a break oeiween nimsen ana senator tsoran, which he was surprised to learn was published by the Hearst papers. He said he was on "cordial I might say affectionate terms" with Senator t Borah. , v Dark Horse Discussion. If all three of the major contend ers should be eliminated, as 'many competent observers still believe will be the case, the convention will be confronted with the necessity of making a choice of dark horses. Much of the maneuvering of the last 48 hours has been by those party in terests who are seeking to ettect a choice outside of the trio of leading aspirants. , Governor Sproul and Senator . Knox figure prominently in the dis cussion, of dark horses. Sproul is to get a tryout if the dark horse stage is ever reached in the -convention, but one finds few leaders who be lieve the Pennsylvania governor cati come within a stone's throw of vie tory. After Sproul, Senator Knox might receive consideration and tt is well known that Senator Penrose has long contemplated such a con tingency and laid careful plans for bringing about the selection of hi , colleague. - Charles Evans Hughes has been suggested in some influences as the likeliest choice if the convention ever gets beyond the stage of considering .avowed candidates.

HAYWRD, Inffrnatlonl News Service Staff Correspondent. Chicago, June 10. Senator .War ren G. Harding of Ohio can have the nomination for vice president. He is the choice of managers of each the Johnson. Wood and Low den campaigns. Ohio is debatable ground. Its elec toral vote will be sought eagerly by each of the leading parties. Hard ing's friends say he can carry Ohio. Senator Harding, it was stated this morning, has decided to take his chances before the national conven tion and will announce that he is not a candidate tor re-eiection to tne senate.. Harding must notify by tomorrow night the secretary of state of Ohio whether he will seek renomination for the United States senate. The Ohio law provides that the candidate shall feive 60 days' notice by filing a certificate of candidacy before the date of the primaries. , The law provides that no candi date shall run for two elective of fices at the same time. The repub lican legislature of Ohio sought at its recent session to relieve Harding of this embarrassment of making his decision on the eve of the presi dential nomination, by havng the primary law cnanged so as to re quire 45 days notice of candidacy. Oov. James E. Cox, democrat, vetoed the proposed change in the law. Harding is in the fight for the presidency. Based on the results of polls taken by his campaign man agers Harding announced today that he was the second choice of a ma jority of the delegates to the con vention. Should the three leading candidates kill off each other and no one of them prove strong enough to win Harding believes he can get the nomination as head of the ticket Lawyer Convicted of Dealing In Stolen Stocks Sentenced New York, June 10.

A mass meet ing of southern delegates, staged in a hotel lobby with some 300 at tending, was held last night in the interest of demanding recognition of the south on the republican na tional ticket. Virginia and North Carolina both have vice presidential candi dates in the field and speaker Trom other southern states advised that they unite on one man or the other and that the southern dele gates then all join in support of the man so named.

Those who don't may be having their own way, but that joy is out of tashion during the convention. Those who insist upon wearing hats and obstructing the view of the men and women behind' them are ob structing more than that, an influ ential man said yesterday. Women who are leaders in politi cals affairs today said: "They are " selfish, unfair, stub born. Women, all, the women, are asked to remove their hats. Wear ing a little thing that they claim can't obstruct the view is not an excuse. If it is a hat it must come off."

I PLAN TO START HOOVER BOOM AS SECOND CHOICE Launch Drive for Former Food Administrator After First Few Ballots Have Been Cast. By WILLIAM PHILLIPS SIMi Staff Correspondent, International Nw flfrylce. Chicago, June 10. Herhcrt Hoover may not be put in nomina tion on the floor of the convention, it was stated today. According to present plans subject, however, to another sudden change his name will be voted on without the for mality of nominating or seconding speeches. The reason -for this, it was ex plained, is that the former food ad ministrator is considered a good second choice man and that his great chance will come only after the first few ballots have been cast and the favorite sons have been eliminated. The present plan is ta let the vot ing on the first ballots go as it mav, then, at the right moment, laundi a Hoover drive for delegates. There is nothing to be gained by nominaN ing Hoover among some 15 others, some of his boosters say. But no matter how few votes may be cast for him to begin with, they are planning for rapid increases as the balloting proceeds, in the hope timately of putting him across. On 4he other hand a change of tactics may be deemed advisable at the last minute to counteract the possible effect of his not being nom inated. Some of his pluggers fear if he is not formally nominated the impression might be created that he had given up and dropped out of the race.
