Especial )-That Woodrow Wilson
will have approximately 500 delegates
when the Democratic national conven-
tion assemblies in Baltimore, June 25,
and that he will be nominated on the
first ballot was the claim of the cam
paign managers of the New Jersey
executive at the Bunsey building kuar-

gates in the convention and 73O will
be necessary for CHOICE under the
two thirds rule.
In making this claim the Wilson
people did not enumerate states, but
they pointed out that in less than a
month the PENNSYLVANIA primaries
would elect more Wilson delegates
than are now claimed at the present
time by al the other candidates com
bined. Primaries in Pennsylvania
are to be held on April 18th, and al
though delegate candidates have been
announced in every district In the
state, not candidate for delegate has
