No Combination at First.
The Wilson men today seem TO feel
that while the champions of Mr.. Har-
mon. Mr.. Underwood and Mr.. Clark
were bent on O course of anything to
beat Wilson that now the trend Of
the endeavor Of the allies as they
call them, has changed. 1t seems to be
the feeling that there will be no at

tempt at any rate. to form com
bination against Wilson because me- Is

timately, of course, the Wilson men
know that there must be combination
against some one candidate i'm order
that another may get the required two
thirds majority, but they have watered
their vinegar because they now have
some reason to think that the eventful
combination may be formed in their
favor.
According to Mr. Wilson's friends.
the leaders of the Democracy who have
not allied themselves with the cause of
any one candidate are convinced that
the weight of Democratic "layman"
support is back of New Jerseys gov

Of the states. the Wilson men say. has
not changed this feeling of the leaders
in the least So far as the primary
states aresconccrned Governor Wilson'S
friends, offset California with Wiscon-
sin and Illinois and Maryland with
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and fer
further offsets they check other states,
one against another, where one or the
other of the two leading candidates has
been successful.
