UNCHANGED SITUATION IN OHIO.
ALL THE DELEGATES CHOSEN. BUT NO CAM
DIDATE HAS A MAJoRITY-CoN-
TEST OPENS TOMORROW.

Columbus. Ohio. May 20 (special).-The re-
naming four counties of the State selected dele
gates to-day to the Republican State Conven-
ton, and the final work in this line has not
resulted in removing the uncertainty as to the
nominee for Governor The only settled point at
this time is the admitted fact that the conven-
ton will hot be a cut-and dried affair. No man.
be he candidate or leader Of faction. has suf-
fcient strength 10 map out a programme in
advance and carry It out. 1t takes 407 votes
to nominate, and the highest man will not, un-
less conditions change materially. have over
$50 when the balloting for Governor begins
on Friday.
II. NJ. Daugherty. chairman 81 the Republican
State Committee, will lead the list OF cand-
dates. while Judge Nash, the admitted Hanna
candidate. is not 20 far behind and may gain
sufficient votes before the convention assemblies
to take first place. The real contest Is be-
tween Daugherty and Nash despite the re-
peated efforts on the part of the various candi-
dates to work TO the front. Lieuterant-Governor
Jones' OF youngstown, has hopes Of securing a
union Of the scattering forces, including all who
oppose both Nash and Daugherty. and in this
way to become a prominent factor in the con-
test with a possibility OF ultimately securing
the nomination. through the aid OF the Haml-
ton County delegation and the influence Of
George b. Cox and c. L. Kurtz.
This seems to be the most promising combi-
nation at present, but there is more probability
that Senator Hanna and his friends. who are
being so bitterly fought by many Republicans
will In the end be able to control the conven-
ton. To accomplish this 1t may be necessary
to take up one Of the less prominent candidates
and drop Judge Nash, proceeding that would
rot be mildly received by some OF those who
are pledged to his fortunes. and who insist that
unless the latter is nominated the convention
will reach deadlock. Colonel Nevin, OF Day
ton, opened headquarters this afternoon, and
while he lays claim to only hfty votes at the
start he hopes TO benefit by the apparent in
ability OF either Of the leading candidates TO
reach a majority Of votes in the conVent~n'
Several Of the candidates will arrive Tomorrow
evening and the contest will open in earnest on
wednesday morning, when the leaders from the
several districts reach the convention city

MISS THE NEW INDICTMENTS

County Court yesterday morning the motion 10
dismiss the four new indictments which have been
found against Former Deputy Commissioner Of
City Works Fielding in the which the Dis
trict-Attorneys office is trying TO work up against
him on charges Of defrauding the city by auditing
false and exorb,ant bills. Charles j. Patterson.
Mr. Fledlng's counsel. made a long argument. in
which he declared that Illegal evidence was pre-
sented TO the Grand Jury which found the indict-
ments. He asserted that had II not been for this
evidence the indictments would not have been
found He said that there was too much guesswork
in the evidence that went before the jury. AS
sistant Distrct-Attorney Kemble represented the
opposition He said that Il was a perfectly plain
case: a contractor supposed TO put street
back into the condition in which he found u; that
in the New-Utrecht contract the contractor had
not only been paid than his contract price, but
that he left the street IN such condition that the
city was obliged 10 expend $1,000 in repairing II.
Judge Asphalt reserved his decision.
