NAY HAVE
DEADLOCK AT
BALTIMORE
Feeling is Very Bitter Be-
tween Clark and Wilson
and Underwood Stock is
on the Boom

] VII AihC DOOlAi
| WASHINGTON, June 14.-Demo-
cratic leaders in Congress fear
long deadlock at the Baltimore Ma.
tional Convention over the presi.
dental nomination With no candi.
date entering the convention with
majority Of the delegates, and with
Wilson and Clark each controlling
more than one-third Of the vote,
they cannot figure out how the Bal
timore gathering will finish up its
work within three DAYS Of allotted
time.
One obstacle, it is pointed out, in
the way OF an early agreement for
the nomination is the feeling be.
tween the Wilson. and Clark forces.
Somehow or other the rivalry be-
tween these camps Of the New-Jer.
sian and the Missourian is keener
, and the feeling more intense than
between the other aspirants. What
ever chance there NAV have been to
smooth out the ruflled feelings, the
statement issued few days ago bv
the Wilson forces bitterly attacking
the Clark statement of claim of de.
lcgates has not served to patch mp
the differences.
The Underwood forces are sitting
quietly on the lid. They haven't
rulilcd anybody's feelings. They
are not saying anything to cause q
bareback. Or. Thos. Owen, assist.
ant campaign director for the smil.
ing Alabamian, saws what's more
they don't intend to do so. He
said they intend to conduct a con-
test for the nomination that will
truly represent Mr. Underwood-a
calm. dignihed contest with facts
and figures and constructive states
manship as their arguments.
To show how confident the Tn
derwood people are as a result of
the ieud between Clark and Wilson
forces. the statement is made bv one
of the leading Underwood support
ers that they have promises from
Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Virginia and South Carolina that
these States will flock to MIR Under
derwood in the event the nominal
ton of MIR. Wilson becomes an i'm.
possibility. This is the first time
that the Underwood people have
laid claim to the Wilson delegates.
/ The Alabama forces also assert that
/ New York will come to their side of
the convention hall after the third or
fourth ballot. With New York, the
eighty-odd Southern delegates in
structed o Underwood and the
Wilson delegates, the Underwood
forces claim they will present a show
ing in the convention which will
cause a stampede on the next hal
lot.

Of all the testimony bearing upon the

QUESTION OF DoMIciL.
The court then took up the question
of domiciL The story continues:
Hardy B. Groom was born and
reared in Lenoir county. North Caro-
lima, where he owned property and
after attaining his majority repre-
sented the county in the senate of that
state. He later sold his property in
that county and purchased large
landed interests in Florida. He moved
his family to Newbern, N. c.. and
spent a portion Of his time there and
q part IN flOTlQa- ne SolGCI6Q nouns
site near Tallahassee on his Florida
plantations and erected a residence,
where he often entertained his friends.
While In Florida he took part in the
political affairs of the territory and 1t
was shown by poll lists introduced as
evidence that Mr.. Groom had voted in
at least two different elections. For
the first few years after acquiring his
Florida estates II was evidently his
intention to have his family reside in
this state permanently, but CORE
spondence showed that he later de-
termined to reside a winter In Charles
ton and II he liked that city to make
his family's permanent residence there
until conditions in Florida were more
attractive for his family. He left North
Carolina in the spring Of the year and
after spending the summer in New
York was on his way with his family
to Charleston when overtaken by the
disaster that ended their lives. The
court, after reviewing the volumtnous
testimony at length rendered its de-
cision that the legal domicil OF Mr.
Groom was North Carolina and the
inheritance of his estate would have
to be governed by the laws of that
state.
INCIsIVE LANGUAGE OF COURT.
In passing 1t is interesting to note
the clear and incisive language OF the
court used in the decision. In speak
