- PRINCFIELD, Ills, May I5-It
y looks tonight as if there would be
at least another day OF fruitiass
bailoting before the gUberHatorial
deadlock in the Republican state con-
ventiOn is broken 1t is quite possible
that a break viii come early tomorrow

making a more thorough canvass OF
the situation than has ever been att
tempted by them before and they eN-
pect, by the time the convention opens
tomorrow, TO have brought about
enough changes 10 give their candidate
a majority vote. it is reported that the
VIII county delegation viii 90 to Low
den on the first ballot tomorrow. This,
however, although emanating from a
WIN county delegate, s. received
skepticaIy. After the failure of the
attempted stampede to LOWdeu yester-
day, started by Dekaib county, IL ls
thought probable that LOWden win not
permit any of the counties which he
may secure to vote for him until he
feels confident of having enough %
nominate; for the moment Yates
counties begin coming to LoWden the
remaining Yates men may be expect
ed to 90 to Deueen or the Deneen men

There is now no probability that q
