 Easily Within his Grasp--Delssates From All Over the Country
 Washington, March 21.-In the first statement he has issued since assum. ing charge of the Taft headquarters in this city Frank H. Hitchcock came out with a claim for b52 sure delegates for Taft on the basis of the present show ing. MT. Hitchcock figures that this number will be increased as the hold ing of conventions in states and con gress districts goes on, but declares that the nomination of Secretary Taft on the first ballot is already assured.
 There has been decided turning to Taft in the last two weeks, he says, which has been especially manifest in the west and northwest and in New England. He has included in his state ment only those delegates on which he can count with certainty and does not even include those from Alaska, where the first convention, which was invali- dated by the national committees call for the convention, instructed for Taft.
 Summary of Taft's Strength.
 The present strength of the Taft can didacy can be summarized as follows, according to MT. Hitchcock:
 Northern states east of the Missis- sippi river: .... ....st.. d..
 New England, 52; Ohio, 46; other northern and eastern states, 52, total of 150 delegates.
