generally believe the delegates will be

been possible to obtain instructions
for Gray had fight been made with
that end in view. It has been the pol
icy of the Gray supporters to advocate
the sending of uninstructed delega-
tions. An exception was made IN the
case of Delaware because It Is Judge
Gray's home State, and it was deemed
proper that it should be in a position
to place his candidacy formally before
the country. Judge Gray's friends say
they have positive assurances that the
