Wood Retains Si.r
Florida Delegates
Committee in Deciding
Contest Acts to Avert
Race Issue in Future

CHICAGO, June 3.-Besides settling
the delegation contests from Florida
by splitting the decision, the Repup-
lican National Committee to-day took
what many members construed to be
one of the most important actions Of
years respecting the party's vote in
Southern states.
Aroused by the number of delegate
contests in which evidence was brought
that district conventions had been held
IN places where negroes were excluded
by custom or practice, the committee
py unanimous resolution gave notice
that conventions for the selection OF
delegates in 1924 must be held in places
whore race was no barrier to participa-
ton.
resolution to that effect offered by
Charles b. Warren, national commit
teeman from Michigan, aroused lively
discussion and some hot retorts from
the Southern committee members be-
cause in its language it originally re-
ferred to the Southern states specifj-
cally. When amended to refer to all
states alike. however. it found no op-
position, and the Southern committees
men voted for it.
The decision in the Florida case was
a Wood victory in the sense that it
keeps SIX votes for the general on the
roll when his candidacy was threat
ened with the loss of all votes from
the state. Oout of q mass OF legal tech
nlcalltles the committee came to he
conclusion that, in strict legal sense.

ao-caled Gerow faction, headed by Ma
tional Committeeman Bean, which are
counted in the Wood column. nor 'he
delegates-at large headed by II. l.. An
derson, Of jacksonville, which are
counted for Senator Johnson, ought to
be seated.
1t was confronted, however, with
practically abolishing the Republican
party in Florida if it declined to seat
somebody. National Committeeman
Street, of Alabama, led the fight for
seating the whole Gerow faction, and
committeeman Work, of Colorado,
Iatlered move TO seat neither M
Warren, of Michigan, however, pre-
scented the compromise by which both
sets OF delegates at-large Of the Gerow
and Anderson factions were ordered
seated with half a vote each.
The contest against the four Gerow
district delegates collapsed at the last
moment and they were ordered seated.
The result gave National Committee
man Bean six votes out of eight in the
state delegation and seemed to fore
cast his reelection to the National
Committee.
The North Carolina contest, which
was a straight out-and-out black and
white issue, resulted in the seating Of

for use in the Presidential campaign.
This is the new feature which the
best Judgment here regards as CON
trolling the actions of such shrewd
politicians as Forstel and Schmoll and
as making the nomination Of Lowden
practically out of the question.
General Wood scored gain to- day
at the hands of the national commit
tee IN the decision of the Florida con-
test. He will probably get six of the
eight votes, the other two being
claimed by both the Lowden and John
son camps.
The best thought obtainable here
among the leaders is just as printed in
The Tribune this morning; that the
nomination lies between Wood and a
dark horse" Despite the slight indi-
cations that what is generally called
the Penrose element might be willing
to accept Johnson, it is not thought
the "old guard" leaders could deliver
their delegates to the Californian.
even if they wished to do so. AS a
matter of fact, the grip of the "old
guard leaders on their delegations IS
much weaker than it has been in
almost any previous convention.
There is much speculation as to the
significance of the action of the
Pennsylvania delegation in unani-
nously indorsing Governor Sproul for
the Presidency. In some quarters this
Is taken as eliminating Senator Knox
finally from the race. The opinion
most generally accepted is that PEN
rose, Sproul and their friends, on
hearing the disclosures against Gov
ernor Lowden and realizing the polit-
cal danger Of nominating Lowden in
the face of these weapons which
would be put in the hands of the
Democrats, decided to take some action
which would hold the Pennsylvania
delegation of seventy-six aloof until
some decisions had been reached as to
VINO would be the best man to nomi.
