 Insecure
EPISODE FURNISHES
 DRAMATIC MOMENT
Instructions Given Delegation Are to Vote for Oscar W. Underwood "Until His Nomination Shall
 Be Secured"

Atlanta, May 29.-Tom Watson lost bis fight to control the democratic state con vention here today. but he won place on the Baltimore delegation. Even this victory is a doubtful one. as the Georgia delegation goes to the national eonven- ton bound by the unit rule and controlled b. men who are Watsons avowed enc mics.
 Though baked at every turn, Watson tired valiantly to break the power of the ec-called ring" Watson was spelling. for fight while the leaders were bent on having harmony even if they had to use bludgeon on Watson to get it. Tho McDuffie delegate was made a delegate at large in recognition of his services in behalf of Underwood. but he was denied a vo.ce in the naming of his fellow de.s- gates.
 Watson Not Treated COurte0usly Watson was not treated very courteous ly by the convention. When he tried to speaS in opposition to the election of delegates at large by exclamation, he was missed and jeered at from pit to gallery You can't hiss and boot me down. lie dehed his opponents. But they did. Watson giving up the struggle after drowning his voice in the tumult for about 15 minutes
 The episode furnished one dramatic mo- ment, moment when the expected clash between Watson and Thomas B. Felder appeared imminent.
 You can't make oil and water mix shouted Watson. Let us have sepa- rate vote on the delegates. l don't want to have to serve with man who said he was going to skin me like an eel. Let Watsons friends vote for Watson and Folder's friends for Fielder"
 Fielder, white with rage, rose in his place among the Fulton county delega- tlon and shook his fist across the foot
 lights at Watson. Friends, dragged him bac and kept him silent, although It IS |doubtfui if the crowd would have re-. raained silent enough to r, Iii tseo men to exchange compliments. No Time Wasted
 The convention wasted little more time in talk but proceeded to elect by accla | itldilDll tilt ti5Il iIiti dG ittd uPoi ny s1t'S leaders Watson retired and vas sean no more on the platform. The delegates al large selected were:
 Thomas B. Watson of McDuffie. Thomas B. Fielder of Fulton, H. H. Dean of Hall, Randolph Anderson of Chatham, Crawford " Wheatley of Sumter. G. R. Hutchens of Floyd, C. R. Pendletoa of Blob and Congressman w. c. Brantly Each of the 12 districts held rpucuSeS and selected four delegates. Thus the convention sends to Baltimore 56 delegates with half a vote each. No alternates have been named.
