UNDERWOOD CLAIMS
OF OLD NORTH STATE
BRANDED AS ABSURD
On the Basis of Instructed
Vote Wilson Has Fully 80
Per Cent-Strong Lead in
Entire State
rBy Associated Press. )

CHARLOTTE, n. c., May z.-Practi-
cally all the North Carolina counties had
conventions Saturday and selected dele
gates to the state convention, which
meets in June The fight in these coun-
ties where EFFORTS were made to instruct
was between Underwood and Wilson.
From the best information obtainable
this morning from all parts of the state
Wilson won over Underwood. in counties
instructing. with a big majority. On
the basis OF instructed vote, 1t appears
that fully 50 per cent of the vote in
North Carolina is for Wilson.
Out OF Is counties heard from, Wilson
has the instructed vote and the majority
in 30, while Underwood has the vote
and majority Of most of the other coun-
ties Wilson carried at least six coun-
ties solid and his majority in others was
double and treble
In a number OF Underwood's counties
his majority was only by a small mar
gin. In two counties the vote is divided,
and IN - counties delegates were not
instructed.
In many Of the counties which did not
instruct. such as this. Mecklenburg, the
largest in the state, sentiment Is strong
for Wilson, and II is believed that he
will have the larger majority OF the
states strength. although strong efforts
are being made 70 send an uninstructed
delegation TO Baltimore.
The Underwood managers are claim
ing the delegation, but in the face OF
Saturdays action, these claims are alb
surd Ror some time past Underwood
money has been lavfshed throughout the
state, while managers Of other eandi-
dates spent practically nothing.
II Is safe to say that Wilson has q
strong lead in North Carolina.

NEW ORLEANS, May 24.-One hun
dred feet of the upper end of Hymelia
levee disappeared into the swirling cur
rent of the Mississippi river 80 miles
above here yesterday. but the United
States engineers. with an army of la
borers engaged in closing the break,
believe that 1t will not interfere with
operations. The break is now 1900
feet wide. Canvas tied over the end
of the levee was torn away and the
earthworks crumbled rapidly. Another
canvas was rushed to Hymelia this
morning and the work of closing the
crevasse is progressing. At Morgan
City the Atchafalaya. river was practi-
cally at a stand yesterday and the in
habitants are encouraged. Lieutenant
Edwards, in charge of the relief work
between that place and New Orleans,
received reports from Breaux Bridge,
ST. Martinsville and St Cecilia to the
effect that refugees were arriving there
every day and that the situation at
these points was worse than ever. He
was urged to rush more rations to
that territory Two thousand five hun
dred persons were fed at those places
yesterday.
A telegram received by the officer
from Breaux Bridges which read:
please rush rations, and in sending
them please bear in mind that the peo--
pie in general prefer meat and grits.
They can dispense with molasses, cof-
fee and sugar; more meat and grits
is what they want. They don't like
corn meal"
Two boats returning from Pierre
Parte district brought in 731 head of
cattle and % families.
The New Orleans relief committee
intends to take up the matter of fur
nishing seed for the farmers to enable
them to make late crops when +he
crevasse waters recede. There are
about five carloads of clothing and bed
ding at the headquarters of the com
mittee here ready for shipment when
needed. All appeals are answered
promptly and all orders so far re-
ceiyed have been filled.
