WILSON, BEATEN,
REFUSES To QUIT
His Friends Plan Appeal to the
State Convention for Recog-
milton as Second Choice.

SAVANNAH GA, MAY S-Friends
of Governor Woodrow Wilson in Sa-
vannah are discussing plans for taking
a hand in the forthcoming state con-
vention. to the extent of having the
convention instruct the delegates to
Baltimore for Wilson as second choice.
Under the ruling Of the state com
mittee already passed upon by the peo-
pie all the delegates to the Atlanta
convention must be from among the
friends of Underwood. and while VIII
sons friends realize this. and many Of
them doubt that any recommendation
the state committee might now make
would be of any force whatever they
contend, nevertheless. that Wilson car
ried 40 counties and petition from
his friends for recognition might not
be unavailing in the convention.
The Wilson people of Savannah also
express the fear that the factional ele-
ment that will control the state con
vention in Atlanta may undertake to
control the present state executive
commttee-even to displace it-not-
withstanding the fact that its lease of
life runs until after the August state
primary They base this belief upon
the idea that the present committee is
said to favor the candidacy of Hudson
for governor rather than the candi-
dacy of Slaton.
