programme. the vote of New England,
which, excepting Hawley, has no candi
date. is to be split among all the candi-
dates at the outset. Maine will give a
vote to every candidate III the field,
Vermont will vote for Sher-
man, Massachusetts and New
Hampshire will split. Rhode
Island will vote for Allison and Con-
necticut, of course. for Hawley. New
York is solid for Depew excepting
John O'Brien, who declares he will vote
for Blaine: New Jersey is for Phelps;
pennsylvania has 35 votes for Sherman,
Is for Filter and 10 scattering: Ohio is
for Sherman, Indiana for Harrison,
Michigan for Alger, Illinois for Gresham,
Wisconsin for Rusk, Iowa for Allison,
Minnesota ten for Gresham and four
scattering, Kansas for Ingalls,, Colorado
and Nevada doubtful, Oregon for
Gresham and California for Stanford.
The South is divided between Sherman,
Gresham, Alger, Depew and Harri-
son. An intelligent estimate of the
first ballot shows eleven candi-
dates. with votes about as fol-
Depew, 100; AIger, 80; Harrison, 1919;
Allison, so; Phelps, IS: Rusk, %;
ingalls,, IA; Filter, Is; Stanford, 16.
This leaves So votes unaccounted for.
Missouri and Arkansas are still doubt
full quantities.
1t IS believed there will be no
material change from this estimate for
a ballot or two, and it is thought the
convention will adjourn over night.
During that night some
COMBINATIONS WILL BE MADE
with view to controlling the conven-
ton the next day. At present writing
NOT Of
possible. After this has been demon
strated in the balloting, Plat will prob
ably call away his forces numbering
twenty or twenty-five votes, and
If combination has been formed,
throw them in. Warner Miller
is expected to throw his votes to
Sherman. What Depcw will do when
the moment comes for abandoning his
own own canvass is one of the mys-
teries of the hour An intimate friend
OF Depew's said tonight: IF Depew
cannot be nominated, l look to see him
RISE and, in a theatrical manner, throw
self will be placed in nomination by
Senator Hiscock. just now one fact is
pretty we'll settled, and that is the
NOMINATION OF 4 SOLDIER
in one place or other. This fact mill
tateS much against Allison, who other
wise is in good position The opposition
of the Pacific states steadily weakens
Sherman. Just now Harrison is i'll high
favor. New England and New Jersey
are leaning toward him, and it is not
impossible he will ultimately be made
the choice OF the combination of men
spoken of. If the nomination comes to
the West it will probably go to Har-
rison, Alger or Gresham, and the
chances of the three are in the order
named. Phelps is almost certain to
be named for vice president if the nomi-
nation comes West, and if Blaine or an
Eastern man is named, Gov. Porter, of
Indiana, or Alger will be taken. If
Sherman should be compelled to fall
back beaten, Gov. Foraker will
be sprung on the convention,
and at the same time many of
Sherman's supporters will go to
Gresham. Senator Quay has leaning
toward Gresham, and many of the
Gresham men are inclined toward the
Ohio senator if their man cannot be
nominated. The Gresham managers
have card to play in break from
Harrison in the Indiana delegation,
where they:contlol nearly one-third of
the votes.
