past few hours the prospects have materi-
ally changed and 1t is now more than
probable that Il. II. Bumey of Kerr coun-
W will be nominated on the second ballot,
Col. II, Andrews, the San Antonio can
didate, Is not here, but has left instruc-
lions with Senator Houston to withdraw

hang together after the first ballot. Blu
