somewhat cleared to-day by the With
draNal Of former Governor John L.

announcement from senator Henry
cabot Lodge that he agreed with Sens

Ing the delegates uninstructcd and Of
emitting any resolutions at the state
convention IN favor Of any ono presl-
dental candidate.
There had been indications that the
state convention would sec a spirited
contest among the five candidates for
delegates at large, There was a prac-
teal agreement that two Of these
places should 60 to Senators Lodge and
Crane, but It was expected that the
delegates would be split ~ over the
other three candidates former Cover
