Tennessee and South Caro- lima Delegations to Be
 Uninstructed
ACTION OF MISSISSIPPI
 PRIMARY IS RATIFIED
Entire Delegation Pledged to Under wood-Wilson's Fight in South Carolina for Instructions Was
 Hard But in Vain

Nashville, May 15-The entire dele- gation from Tennesse to the democratic national convention will go uninstructed. The state convention, which selected all the delegates late tonight, first adopted resolutions against instructing the dele gates, and then named eight delegates large, who had been agreed upon by the campaign managers of Clark, Wilson, Harmon and Underwood.
 The 20 district delegates who were pro- posed by their respective districts in cau- GUS, were chosen by the convention. Two of these delegates were instructed for Clark by their district caucus and another district indorsed Clark's candidacy
 Delegates at Large
 The delegates at large are Senator Luke Lea, Samuel Young, M. M. Allison, Nat Baxter, John Triton, William Percy, George Milton and H. C.. Adler.
 The alternates are c. P. J. Mooney, L.. D. Walker, c. H. Lyle, George w. Bax- ter. D. Fort, Sidney Clark, H. U. Ander- son and Emmett Hunt.
 Principal interest in the convention cen tered about state affairs. and was sue lcessful in terminating the reign of two rival state organizations by the selection of a new state committee to which both factions subscribed.
 Supreme Judge A. S. Buchanan was nominated to succeed himself, and F'eiix Moore was nominated for judge of the court of civil appeals.
 The convention went on record in favor of the nomination of all candidates for mary, and instructed the new state com mittee to call primaries for the nomina- ton of candidates for governor and for United states senator
 The democratic state convention was slow in getting down to business after it's organization today. Aside from the selection of district dele gates to the national convention by caucuses of the district delegations, noth- Ing was accomplished during the day.
 Two of these district delegates, from the First were instructed to vote for Clark and the Fourth district caucus adopted resolutions indorsing Clark. No preference was expressed by the other caucuses There are 20 district delegates to the national convention. On account of factional trouble. in the party or ganization and the efforts being made to amalgamate the factions for the coming state campaign for governor, candidates for the presidential nomina- ton have been compelled to make a still hunt for delegates in Tennessee.
 Clark, Harmon, Wilson and Under wood have had organizations at work in their respective interests and the combinations formed were so numerous
 Claims Conflict
 Nearly every district delegate named today IS claimed for at least two can- didates and in many instances for three. Where campaign managers have found sentiment in tayor of an oppos- ing candidate they have, when pos siple, entered into combinations to se- cure delegates who are favorable to their own candidate as second choice. It is conceded that each candidate has some friends on the delegation.
 The delegates named in caucuses were:
 First District-Thaddeus Cox and C. B. Mms.
 second-J. C. J. Williams and J. w. Sneed.
 Third-L. NJ. Coleman and C. H. Garner.
 Fourth-L. T. smith and George N. Welch.
 Fifth-W. A. Frost and H. T. Stewart
 Sixth-J B. Newman and H. E. Howse.
 Seventh-H. Clay Carter and W. C. farkes.
 Eighth-A. B. Lamb, D. J. Hudson, Henry Draper and Terry Allen.
 Ninth-George Jeter and w. w. Baird.
 Tenth-IIubert Fisher, J. w. Jones, H. c. Moorman and C. P. Simonton.
 The selection of national delegates has been matter of secondary importance to the settlement of factional differences.
