shape the destinies of the party and
select its leaders, was assembled in
due form. There are over a thous-
and delegates on hand and it will re-
quire two thirds vote to nominate
a candidate. Voting on candidates
will probably not start until today.
The events of big concern to the
party and the nation up to Sunday
were the denial of seat to Senator
Jim Reed, of Missouri, as a delegate
to the convention; the seating of the
Palmer delegates from Georgia and

HOOVER URGES HIS
 SUPPORTERS TO BE KIND TO OPPONENTS
Also Spend Money Warily, He Tells Hoover
 Clubs

New York, April 3.-Herbert Hoo yer, who has announced he is ready to accept the republican presi- dential nomination if it is demanded of him, issued a statement today in which he requested he be not fur ther embarrassed by suggestions of some Independents that his name be placed before any other party as "a primary sense of team work in any party organization would pr,t.lude such possibility"
 Mr. Hoover said in his statement he had no great record of partis- an activity and that his political activity was confined to member ship in 8 prominent republican club and allegiance to the party over a period of years. He added that, because of his profession of a min ing engineer, continual shift of res idence had prevented him from cx- ercising as much as he desired the privilege of every citizen at the polls.
 Asserting that his administrative duties in varied relief would prevent him from making a personal canvass for the nomination, MT. Hoover said he expected Hoover organizations throughout the country would have to eNpend certain amounts for print ing and other expenses, but that he hoped they would confinc themselves to minor subscriptions and expcndi- lures and would be prepared to open their books to public inspection.
 Mir. Hoover requested that men and women advocating his nomination "bear in mind that personal criti- cism of the other names. before the party is chiefly of service to the opposition"

Wilson's Note is
 Shock to Turkey

Constaotinople, April 3.-President Wilson's note to the Allies intimat- ing that the Turks must get out of Europe, came as shock to all Turk ish parties.
 The note was equally displeasing to inc Greeks, who were much of tended at the American Presidents apparent unwillingness to grant their claims to a large district about Smy- rnia and his insistence that Adria- nople be given to the Bulgarnans. Italians and French have both em- pnasized in the local press their friendliness in working for the main tehance of the Turks in Constanti- nople.
 American business men here arc apprehensive over the effect of the Preai dents stand and there is con- siderable uneasiness as to the effect 1t will have in Asiatic Turkey where 300 American born teachers and re- lief workers are considered to be in considerable danger if the protection "ot Turkish forces should be with drawn.

London, Jan. 7.-(By The Associated
Press Bolshevik agitators in this
country are working energetically along
lines similar to those projected by the
radicals in America, namely, the over
throw of the government and the estab-
hshment of soviet.
While these facts are common knowl

with the Moscow internationale and is
preaching revolution by innuendo. which
is said to be insufficient ground for
police action In other words. it is said,
cannot take preventive measures but
must be content to deal with some
actual event.
Sowing Seeds Of Discomfort.
There are several extremist organiza-
tions in London and in various parts of
the country-some political and others
allegedly allied with the extremist
laborites-which avowedly are bolshevisc:
or communist. Individual agitators daily
are spreading huge quantities of written
propaganda and are lecturing throughout
dozen periodicals which are out and -out
red, advocating soviet rule in Eng
land.
There are only few big red leaders.
but they have a considerable following.
Their whole effort is centered in sow
ing the seeds of discomfort and they are
banking on the employment of mob
psychology in starting trouble. in the
event Of a widespread strike, according
to the authorities
Try to Use Old Organizations.
The red idea it is asserted, is to work
for affiliation with existing organiza
tions rather than for the creation of new
ones. The agitators can not be reached
by the law except for direct incitement
to revolt or for some other breach of,
the peace.
Famous Albert hall. with all its his
toric associations connected with the
throne. has been used for what virtually
were bolshevik meetings. Similar meet
