CONFUSION AND
BEWILDERMENT
Characterize Republican Conven-
ton With No Leader and
Dark Horses Champ At Bit
(By Associated Press)

Chicago, June mo change,
appeared today in the convention
lineup and none is expected
Twenty hours before the conven-
tlonS assemblies, it is absolutely
an Embossed, un led affair, as
bewlldered delegates mill around
in hotel lobbies, bewailing the alb
sence of leadership.
Men who were real leaders in
years gone by, find grim satisfac-
ton in referring to the charge OF
boSslsm freely hurled at them in
former conventions. They are
asking delegates if it is not better
to be led than lost.
Such overnight or early morn
ing conferences as were held
were OF the same inconc1usive ma
ture as those preceding and only
served to strengthen the program
of letting the convention learn by
preliminary ballots that no can
didate has enough delegates to
nominate him.
So-called leaders are still ex-
planning the attention now being
concentrated on a platform which
they emphasize as very import
ant. Observers, however. say it
1t IS merely a screen to hide the
tact that the SO-called leaders are
no longer leaders.
The passing of the old line par
ty whips, brought on a new crop
of so-called leaders, many OF
whom do not know each other.
That one explanation of lack OF
cohesive action no campaign man
ager is able to muster strength
enough to go in confidence for
real test vote.
Each is waiting for the first
ballot which, it is believed, will
settle the outlook considerably for
the big three-,Johnson, Lowden
and Wood
They feel that the candidate
with the most votes will have a
great advantage and the candi-
date who makes the most gains
on the second ballot will have
valuable ammunition in rounding
up things for the third. Dark
horses are still in the back
ground today, with a strong un-
dercurrent of Hughes talk. To-
days business is largely among
state delegations which are or
ganizing and clecting members to
the convention committee.

where deft hands tenderly laid beau
tiful, fragrant flowers upon small
mounds, marking the last earthly rest
ing place of those who have passed to
great beyond. During this silent ser
vice, heads We're barred when short
addresses were given by representa-
tives of the three orders, in an elo-
quent manner. It is estimated thai
5000 people attended the services at
the cemetery.
There were many visitors, a dele
cation from Lexington, coming in 2
large truck, besides the l. o. o. F.
Home band of twenty members, which
preceded the procession and furnished
music for the day. Lexington lodge
No. 5, /. o. o. F., with beautiful silk
banner, was in attendance with g
goodly number Of members.
The march was taken up shortly be-
fore o'clock and the representative
bodies were given positions of vantage
in the church. Mrs. G. w. Pickles

Epidemic Of Bomb Threats" Breaking
Out in Many Cities-Regarded
as the Work of Cranks.

New Worthwhile the latest develop
ment in the investigation of Wall
streets explosion pointed to an acct
dent rather than a plot, news dis
patches from other cities indicated
that a mild epidemic of bomb threats
had broken out throughout the coun-
try.
Cleveland. Boston, New Bedford,
Trenton and New York were among
cities which reported anonymous warn
ings of dire misfortune. Although au-
thorities professed to regard these
messages as the work Of some practical
joker or crank. nevertheless, in every
instance extra precautions 10 prevent
outrages we're taken.
Four men employed by a house
wrecking concern working In the fin
ancial district, walked into the NUM-
cipal building on their own account
and reported that 10 minutes after the
blast. they had been talking with the
driver of the death wagon which Is be-
lieved either to have carted a bomb in
to Wall street or to have been hit by
an automobile there while conveying
explosives across the city.
The workers said that the driver
had rushed up to them and declared
his wagon had been blown up while he
was telephonins his employer for an
address to which he had been ordered
to take some building materials. Then
he is said to have disappeared.
