TRY TO KEEP FIGHT
OUT OF CONVENTION
Democratic Leaders in Indiana Seek
to Settle Endorsement for
Senator.

indianapolis, Ind, April 27-With
the hope of reconciIing the opposing
factions on the question of endorsing
candidate for the United States sen
ate, party leaders today are striving
to reach a compromise and prevent
the fight from being carried into the
democratic convention, which opens to-
night. Governor Marshall favors the
convention endorsing a candidate,
while Taggart is for a>state wide pri-
mary to select a candidate. The dele
gates seem in favor of defeating both
propositions and leaving the matter
to legislative caucus.
Efforts to bring about harmony be-
tween the opposing forces have so far
failed. and it seems the proposition
must be fought out on the floor of the
convention tonight.
