1t is now believed that, in a compara-

as indefinite when the convention as
'sembles as 1t Is now. In fact, that con.
vention Is going to assemble in such
an atmosphere OF doubt and uncer.
tainty as the crowds do at a world

all right, but it will have little idea
when 1t gathers who that winner will
be. Inlthes meantime while there are
