Woodrow Wilson Leading.
Wilson Headquarters. ~ Resuit Of the
Latest Returns. Places Governor
Wilson Frat in Actual Strength
Among Democratic Aspir-
ants for the Presidency
Ns Fellows

:
With twenty delegates from Ohio
and twelve choaen in Virginia yester-
day Gov, Woodrow Wilson now has S05
votes IN the baltimore convention. and
is far in the lead over any candidate.
The marvellous run made by Cover
nor Wilson in Governor Harmon's home
state is one Of the big surprises Of the
pre-conyention campaign. Ct now ap-
pears that the distinguished Ohio gov
ernor has obtained only 1000 majority
over governor Wilson in the entire
state. and that the New Jersey execu-
tive almost split even with him in the
election Of delegates in the Congress
sional districts.
A telegram from National Commit
teeman Harvey CARRIER, of Ohio, to the
Wilson headquarters states that the
primary was victory for Democratic
progressives in the state, who selected
one-half of the delegation. Mayor
Baker wired his belief that any attempt
to adopt the unit rule would be defeated,
and Ex-Governor w. w. Durbin sent
this message from Columbus to Wilson
headquarters:
I'VE have elected twenty out of the
forth-two delegates against Governor
Harmon. The unit rule will be fiercely
fought in the State convention. Such
rule cannot apply to Ohio and the
state cannot instruct in view Of our
primary law. Governor Wilson carried
Governor Harmon home county on the
preferential vote, and looses the state
by about seven Thousand. +"
While there were no instructions by
the Virginia State Convention, Cover
nor Wilson'S friends are satisfied that
the delegates from the state Of his ma;
tivity win be behind him at baltimore.
At least half at the delegation is for
the New Jersey executive, and among
the members are Hon. r. E. Byrd, the
manager uf the Woodrow Wilson cam
paign il Virginia. Mr.. Byrd wired to
Wilson headquarters In Washington
today that agood majority Of the dele
lgates can be relied on to stand by Gov.
ernor Wilson. and win favor his nomi.

ID INVESTIGATE
 MATTHEWS DEATH
COUNTRY PEOPLE NOT CERTAIN WHETHER THERE WAS FOUL
 PLAY OR NOT.
He Was Buried Yesterday in Mill Township, and His Illness Was
 Not Explained as to Cause.

Small Matthews, a young man of Mill township. was buried yesterday morning in the country cemetery. but there will follow an investigation as to the cause of his death, and rela- lives believe he may have met fou. play a..
 Some time ago Matthews left the farm work and went to Lonoke, where he worked as laborer. About a week ago he was put on a cot by his boarding house keeper and start ed home. He was very sick, and rela- tives say had marks of having been struck on the back of the neck.
 Here he was received into the Bar ry hospital and given some medical attention. after which relatives were permitted to carry him home He died Monday night.
 The relatives do not understand the circumstances. They believed that Matthews had about $40 in mon ey and watch. and say that the same day he arrived here on a cot relatives received letter from him saying how well he was getting along. and telling of the money he had saved at his work.
 It is said since that letter has been received here by Ben Lockett from g friend of his in Lonoke asking how Matthews was getting along. Friends don't understand, and have started an investigation, and they be- lieye that they will find that his death was not caused from natural condi- tions.
