WHAT WILL. IOWA

Uninstructed Delegates Will Rule in
Democratic COnven-

Des MOines. Ia. May 2.-Whether
the Democratic state convention next

will depend on the uninstructed dele
gates. Hearst has about 800 instruct
ed delegates out of the 440 which are
necessary TO vote instructions next
Wednesday,. His managers claim al
most 2O0 of the non-instructed dele
gates. The conservatives say that this
claim is absurd. and declare il IS I'M
safe to estimate any of the nOn-in-
strrcted delegates for Hearst.
The fact that Hearst carried almost
all the counties which held cOnven-
tions Saturday has lent colo to the
claim OF his mana gers that he will con-
trOl the situation Wednesday. More
than twenty conventions were held
Saturday. Among the first eighteen
which reported Hearst carried Iowa,
Greene, Cass. Shelby. Minona. Clay
ton. Boone. Mills. Benton, Marshall
and Woodbury. Confesting delegations
viii come from Scott county, which
has been the seat of the conservative
forces in the Democratic party for
