Georgia Delegation
Model of Harmony.

It Is one of the most harmonious,
compact and aggressive delegations in
the entire convention. 1t will vote SOL
idly on whatever 1t votes upon. There
are no disputes or aggravated differ
ences of opinion inside the Georgia del
egation.
The Woodrow Wilson people have
reached the climax of their campaign
here. Every influence possible, wheth-
er on the quiet and in secret, or open
and loud OF mouth, has been brought to
bear to waver or make afraid the Geor-
gia delegation. 1t has been appealed TO
frantically, lovingly, dictatorially and
humbly. 1t has remained as the rock
of Gibraltar against Wilson. Wherever
it goes and whatever 1t does, 1t will
cast no Wilson votes. Efforts have
been made to have 1t appear that Geor-
gia favored IL not Wilson as second
choice, then Gaynor Georgia's per-
sistent reply has been that she favored
Underwood. Circumstances have so
combined that Georgia has considered
a second choice, and 1t is Champ Clark.
1t never will be the New Jerseyite nor
Gaynor
No other battle for the presidential
nomination goes forward with the
clocklike precision which marks the
Clark campaign. 1t is not depending
upon noise or fuss or feathers. The
speaker Is well liked by practically all
classes Of delegates. 1t will surprise
few people II Clark wins on the second
or third ballot.
The story sent to some Georgia Will
son papers, to the effect that Chairman
Charles r. Pendleton vetoed the sug-
gestion made early after the arrival
of the Georgia delegation in Balti-
more that Thomas G. Hudson be elect
ed a delegate in place of Thomas E.
Watson, who is not here. was incorrect

had the Hudson suggestion been pushed
to a vote.
AS a matter of fact, Colonel Pendle-
ton had nothing whatever to do with
the affair, as 1t originated entirely with
other people and was called to his at
tention just before the delegation
reached Baltimore. He was not partlc-
ularly interested in It. but he would not
have opposed It had II come to vote.
He realized that 1t was only a move
uent to show Hudson a pretty courte-

Bride and Groom
Kept Waiting.

At 7:45 o'clock last night an auto
mobile was sent to the Lovejoy home to
take the maid Of honor to the home of
Miss Brewster's sister, Mrs. Robert
Barnett, while the Brewster Proctor
nuptials were to take place. But Miss
Lovejoy was not there, and the auto
waited. the chauffeur being informed
that she had gone to the home of her
grandfather nearby and would soon re-
turn. Another auto was sent to the
home of Rev. DR.. Cotter, the minister
chosen to perform the ceremony.
Eight o'clock and still no maid of
honor or minister.
The minutes slipped by until 1t was
almost $50, the hour set for the we'd
ding, and still no attendant or preacher
for the waiting bride and bridegroom.
Miss Brewster became nervous. Pro-
fessor Proctor became nervous. The

sy, and as he esteems Hudson highly,
personally and otherwise, he would not
have fought the election.
Word came to the delegation after 1t
reached Baltimore that Watson likely
would come on and take his place on
the delegation, and for that reason the
Hudson suggestion was dropped.
Clark Second
Choice of Georgians.
A number of Underwood delegates in
Baltimore are beginning to figure
things this way:
If 1t be found that Underwood can
not be nominated after exhaustive and
sincere efforts, Clark should fall heir
to the Underwood strength, for two
reasons. First, because Clark Is the
strongest man before the convention
and likely would make a winning fight,
thus attaching Georgia to a winner,
and second, because Clark's promotion
to the presidency would mean Under
woods promotion to the national
speakership.
This would leave Underwood in a
>
in fine strategetical shape for the nom
nation next time, and in place where
he might increase his already superb
reputation as leader, making him
finally a stout hearted and staunch
lieutenant and administration right
bower to help President Clark put
through those reforms called for in the
platform to be adopted by this conven-
ton.
Failing to pluck the presidential
plum for Underwood. his real we'll
wishers and friends are asking them
selves why not get the, next best plum,
the speakership, for him. particularly
when it may be plucked through such
man as Clark. II looks more and
more as If the Underwood break-a away,
II 1t comes, will surely be to Champ
Clark. The speaker is an easy favorite
over the field in the betting here.

HARDWICK TO HURRY
HOME AND PREPARE
FOR GOVERNOR RACE

BALTIMORE. June 27.-Thomas w.
aardwick likely will leave Baltimore
directly after the adjournment of the
convention for Georgia, 10 look into the
gubernatorial situation.
So thoroughly has he been impressed
with what he considers a wide appeal
10 him to run for governor that he has
determined to get in close personal
touch with his Georgia friends at once.
He perhaps will come home with the
delegation. not even going back to
Washington after the convention.
Every member of the Georgia con-
gressional delegation is in Baltimore
today. and it is the opinion Of practl-
caly all that Hardwick has every in
tention of running for governor and
that his formal announcement may be
expected within the next week or ten
days

minds as to the merits Of the case and
then voted according-to the boss or
ders
But what interested the delegates
most is the conversation of harmony
Each delegate feels that his candidate
is sure to win on the fourth or fifth
ballot with the aid Of the delegates won
from other candidates, and, therefore
each delegate is doing all he can to be
nice to every other delegate.
After the acrimonious scenes in Chi
cago, it's a joy to see so many AL
phonses and Gastons. Perhaps the sur
roundings have something to do with it,
for all the Baltimoreans display typical
Southern courtesy.
The facilities of the city are entirely
inadequate to handle the crowd that
has gathered. The discomfort Of the
perspiring throng makes this politeness
all the more conspicuous.
It's in tho Very Air.
A Clark delegate comes face to face
with a Wilson delegate in the jam in
one Of the hotel corridors.
Excuse me for pushing you, but I
can't help it," says one,
Don't mention 1t, old man; 1 was
just about to apologize myself Your
man Clark is all right, all right" This
is the Wilson man speaking. But the
Clark man slaps him on the shoulder
and says
They tell me Wilson is a fine man."
And then an Underwood man tells
one of them
Excuse me, subj but you shoe laces
are deranged."
No one, you see is taking any chances
Of possibly mourning the resentment of
any one else. The elevator service Of
the Hotel Emerson, for instance, is en-
tirefy inadequate to handle the crowds
coming from and going to the various
headquarters. AS soon as an elevator
opens its door at least fifteen men are
damned into it by the crowd pressing
behind. When the boy starts it, the
elevator usually sinks to the basement
instead Of going up.
Too many in the car" says the boy.
1.-TWO or three gentlemen will have to
step out"
That is about the best time to see
men with Clark badges and Wilson
badges and Harmon badges and Under
wood badges and Gaynor badges good
naturedly fighting to Guido one another

GRADY HOSPITAL
ISSUES DEFENSE

Following action by the board Of trus-
tees and medical board of Grady hospital,
DIR. W. B. Summerall the superintendent,
today prepared statement regarding
conditions in the hospital, showing the
evidence and facts on which the two
boards based their exoneration of the
hospital system. and showing that the
criticism of the food and charge of
"overwork' were unwarranted 1t was
criticism that the internes were under
fed and "overworked" which led to the
recent investigation and the complete vim
dication of the hospital and it's methods
AS to the criticism that nurses are
compelled to pay for instruments they
break it is shown that this plan is in
effect in all big hospitals, and that dur
ing a period of three years and three
months the total amount paid for such
breakage was only $45.S 30
"NothIng to Hide"
The statement goes into detail, the SUI
perintendent explaining that the hos
pital has nothing to hide and that it's
affairs are always open to the public.
The statement is signed by committee
of trustees, President Joseph Hrsch,
Charles S. Northen, f. j. Spratling and
Wade p Harding 1t concludes as fol-
lows:
THE institution IS doing great good
The work is enormous and continuous
Publicity as to what we are doing and
as to true conditions will help us. I'm
warranted and gratuitous defamation may
retard the good work, but it will not
stop it,
The identity of the person who gave
out the false information concerning the
hospital still is a mystery, despite eff
forts of the officials TO disclose it.

GEN.. JOSE GOMEZ,
President Of Cuba

01 the American government was mere
ly a measure of %precaution, and entire
ly associated from any question of in

replied as follows:
Il am exceedingly grateful for your
cablegram, which is appeasing to Gu.
ban patriotism, because of the assur.
ance that the action of the government
under your worthy presidency is linn
tied to the observation of events in or.
der to De ready should it be necessary
TO protect the lives and property Of
American citizens and morally to sup.
ort the Cuban government without
having to land American forces on our
territory, unless both governments
agree upon such an extreme neces.
sity."
The receipt of President Taft's
message declaring that the naval con-
centration at Key West and the dis.
patch of gunboats to Cuban waters
were merely precautionary was a
source of much qualification to the Gu.
ban government. The
express extreme qualification at the
attitude of Washington.
The Cuban government continued
unsparingly in it's efforts to rush re-.
inforcements to Oriente province.
The settlement Of the longshore
mems strike has had the excellent eff.
feet OF removing the danger of posi-.
BILE disorders in the city and assuring
the government a constant flow of re.
sources from customs receipts.

OF $2,1OO,OOO together with interest,
Which probably will bring the total to

owning its stock sold to it property at

their stock to the innocent public"
With the company under the control of
the innocent stockholders" it sued
Lewisohn in New York for the profits.

Then Bigelow was sued by the com.
pany in Massachusetts and the court
of that state laid down the far-reach-
ing principle that the company no
longer controlled by it's promoter could
resclnd Its contract to purchase the
property from them and make Bigelow
account. Consequently Bigelow was
directed to pay the company 81, 100, 900.
