The mention Of Cummins' name was
received with varying emotions by the
members of the Iowa delegation. and it
soon became evident that in the event
the governors candidacy should be
more energetically pressed his Iowa
support would not be confined to the
so-called Cummins' faction. Several
Allison Dolliver adherents promptly
announced that as matter of state
pride, If for no other reason, they
would support the governors candi-
dacy
After the conference it was stated
that of the twenty-siX members of the
delegation, the real antagOnism to the
nomination Of either Dolliver or Cum
minis is confined to three men.
There is much discussion of the posi-
| bility of the nomination going again to

many predict that he will again receive

OF the delegates is concerned of secur-

caucus of the delegation at 10 o'clock
this morning and the notices for it
were actually prepared, but it was
postponed on the theory that the com
mittees on credentials and resolutions
\ would probably consume much time,
and there was therefore no need Of
haste in taking formal action.
A telegram from Boston announced
Governor Guilds determination to re

effort would be made here to throw the
entire vote of the delegation for Guild
when the roll Of states was called and

Lodge and Crane express the opinion
that TIE state should stick for Guild.
The present indications are that the
vice pro, idential candidate will not be
agreed upon until after the nomination
