BURKE NOT VERY CLEAR ON
PURPOSE OF "CONFERENCE"

Pierre, S. D., April 3.-National Com
mitteeman Charles H. Burke, when
asked as to his views regarding the
presidential preference primary, said:
Il am in favor Of delegation that
will stand for the nomination Of Jus
tice Hughes, and from information that
has come to me am of the opinion
that If the convention tenders him the
nomination he will accept"
Mr.. Burke does not explain why this
situation calls for the personally con-
Quoted conference which he will hold
at Mitchell on April 5. The inference
is that he wants the people of South
Dakota to forego their privilege of in
structing the delegation and leave 1t
all to Burke"
