There Il. tho usual talk that de-
termned effort win boz made 10 take
the convention away from Albuquerque;
that big delegations are being brought
down moro for the purpose of voting

are being worked with view to
swinging the convention Ia some other
city than Aibnauerquo next yanf,
There have heen samn rather exaF-
garatnd statements IN certain papers
10 the effect that Albuquerque has
been trying TO hog the convention,

about the same fplieitoue emotions.
