gerald, E. J. Finn, James A. Thomp-
son and Martin Scully. The delegates

While it is not known just how the
delegation stands, one in a position to
know something about it says, that
secret ballot vote would give Thayer
at least tWo-thirds of the delegation.
AS the delegation goes unpledged this
feeling may be changed, however, when.
the Carey men get to buttonholing the
delegates and exploiting the good quail

nominations for delegates to elect del
