seen at his office in The Ford Building

chances OF the Delawarean for the nomi-
nation. When asked for an Interview Mr.
Handy had the following to say:
Il think the people Of Delaware may
feel assured that Delaware's delegation to
the St. Louis Convention viii do its whole
duty IN the matter Of carrying out the in
structions given at the State Convention.
ANY intmation .tat any one Of the six
will fail to obey those Instructions In good
spirit IS contrary to the expressed inten-
tion OF all Of us.
For my part, go TO 81. Louis for The
domination OF Judge Gray without thought
Of second choice / am for the Delaware
man to the exclusion Of any and an 9TH
ers. He is the best and most available
man who has been suggested for the nom
inauon.
"A party OF strong political workers will
be with the delegation at St. Louis ia
urge the Gray argument upon delegates
from other States. We all expect TO come
back wearing laurels. Our anxiety Is tnai
the folks at home may not get too excited
when they hear the result of the THIRD
ballot at St. Louis. ! have hope amount
irg TO confidence that Delawares son vii
be the winner"
