SOUTH CAROLINA FOR WILSON.
Bat state Convention May Refsse
to Instruct.

CoLuMBIA, S. C.. May 5.-on the eve
Of the Democratic county conventions
to name delegates to the State conven-
ton which meets here May l6 the sup
porters Of Gov. Wilson are confident oi
victory. On the surface the claims OF
the Wilson men seem to he vel
founded.
So far there has been but little out
spoken support for other candidates
than Wilson. In the precinct meetings
Gov. Wilson was the only candidate
who secured Endorsement. The Gov
ernor's managers assert that they will
control the State convention and send
an instructed delegation to Baltimore
Both the Senators, Tillman and Smith
have declared for Wilson.
Despite the confidence Of the Wilson
men, there Is strong sentiment since
the Underwood victories in Georgia md
Florida in favor of sending an unln
StruCted delegation to Baltimore and
shrewd observers believe. that sentimen,
will prevail in the State convention.
South Carolina Democrats in the pas
have generally sent uninstructed dele
cations tn the national conventions.
