Many rumors regarding the plans OF

BOSTON, May % Especially despite
the fact that the most prominent sup

country have heralded Senator Lodge
as one of their leading figures, friends
OF Gov Coolidge are considerably dis
appointed that the senator has been
prevailed upon to give up his inten-

Friends of Governor Smile.
Massachusetts, learns that there is a
decided movement on foot outside of
New England to belittle the sentiment
for Gov. Coolidge in favor of Gen,
Wood. but the leading friends of the
governor smile as they discuss the
reports which are daily being received
from other states. Naturally, they are
inclined to believe that any such
wood movement would act as q
boomerang. AS to the charge that the
Coolidge candidacy is essentially anti
wood. one does not have to interview
the states accredited delegates to
refute it,
There has been no question of the
sentiment of the majority of the
Massachusetts delegation from the
nrSt. Hoover and Johnson sentiment
is of small proportion compared with
that for Gen. Wood. The twenty nine
unpledged delegates cannot be STAN
cd hr,
ment that places them outside the
Wood pale. Without doubt they will
all vote for Gov. Coolidge on the f1rsi
ballot. and though they believe that
the governors chances are slight
they are anxious to pay him the COM
pliment of solid vote. in view of the
reputation he has received by his law
and order stand at the time of the
police strike.
Governor In Silent.
Gov. Coolidge is maintaining his at
titude of rigid silence concerning the
nomination. He attends to his bust
ness day by day as il nothing OF
national moment disturbed him, YET
no man is better Informed of the cur
rents and crosscurrents of natfona
republican politics. Nothing has hap
pened during the present session OF
the legislature to cause a lessen1ne

movement for him was noted in several
upstate cities. In Albany, Syracuse.
Rochester. Buffalo. Utica, Binghamton.
Elmira aid other cities enrolled re-
rubIicans not identified with the local
organizatio have Endorsed the Wood
candidacy and have urged his nomina-

of a drive of Wood supporters to swing
New York state into line In favor of
the Army man. However, organization
leaders in every section of the state
are working to check any sentiment for
Wood down in the ranks and feel that
they have been very successful to date.
Old Guard leaders are beginning to
look seriously toward Gov Frank o.
l.owden as their candidate. and the
friends Of the Illinois executive have
been greatly encouraged by reports
from this state of late. 1t is declared
that at the present time Lowden is
preferable to any of the other candi-
dates as far as the New York state
leaders are concerned. OF course, the
local delegation Will go to the Chicago
convention pledged to Nicholas Murray
Butler. but they are not expecting to
get very far with Mr.. Butler.

One leader expressed the general
feeling toward Butler yesterday, when
he said:
BY advocating the nomina ton Of
Mr.. Butler we clearly show the type
of man we are ready to support He

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
CHICAGO, May 22-The under-cover
campaign that the managers of the
Lowden presidential boom have been
conducting for months is beginning to
disclose itself publicly. and there can
be no questioning the confidence and
optimism with which the atmosphere at
the Lowden headquarters in the Con-
gress Hotel is charged. For the first
time the Lowden leaders are claiming
victory, and it is known that important
deals have been made whereby the Gov
ernor of Illinois will have more strength
in the national convention tnan many
politicians suppose.
.There are more than 500 Lowden
votes in sight and while it may require
several ballots to give the favorite sons
a chance to show their strength, Low
den will gain from the first ballot on
and get the nomina ton said one Low
den leader.
Lowden's Two Methods.
The Lowden policy has been to work
for uninstructed rather than instructed
delegates. and to keep the real strength
in the background. Another move has
been to push Lowden as second choice
candidate in states favoring some one
Else for first choice. and the Lowden
management asserts that Lowden is the
second choice of practically two-thirds
of the delegates thus far elected.
OF course Gen. Woods friends scoff
at the increasing claims of the Low
den people, though privately they
admit that Gov. Lowden's real
strength is not indicated by the num-
her of delegates instructed for him.
The Lowden managers assert that
they will get practically solid the

Gen Charles 6 Dawes. one of Gen.
Pershng's great friends, was moved to
declare for Lowden this week, and said
that the governor was to be commended
for his refusal to make any trades with
Mayor Thompson. and his declaration
that he would rather lose the presidency
than sacrifice any principles. Gen.
