WILL AID CREDIT

Chicago, May 20.-While the con tinuance of the price cutting wave was noted in central and far western states today. Chicago bankers ex- pressed satisfaction with the financial situation, one man declaring that the liquidation of stocks by merchants would greatly aid in bringing credit back to normal. Sft e4tt
 The price lowering movement, while not general in Chicago was aided to- day by action of stores in Ottawa, Iowa, and another San Francisco es- tablshment in establishing cuts of from 20 to 50 per cent In connection with the reductions, Nebraska women were asked today by that states fair price commissioner to notify their merchants that they would not pay higher prices for clothing next fall.
 Action to aid in the campaign againstt~ the cost of living was taken at St Louis in resolutions adopted by the convention of the International Association of Garments Manufactur- CTS, pledging it's members to manufac- ture and sell garments tt the lowest possible price. According to a survey taken by the Cleveland Manufacturers Association of the Cleveland garment industry. prices of womens wearing apparel will go no higher unless, it was stated labor and material costs are advanced.

 400 Instructed
By Associated eress

Chicago, May 20.-Uninstructed dele gations and the delegates who will cast their first ballot for "favorite sons" will be in the majority at the repub- lican national convention, opening here June 8.
 The primary system, although in ef- feet in many states has failed to de- velop any outstanding candidate for the party's presidential nomination, for of 913 delegates already chosen, less than 400 have been instructed and their vote is divided among several candidates.
 Under the republican convention rules. which require a majority to nom mate, the successful candidate must obtain at least 493 votes.
 Forty-three states and five districts and territories have elected 913 dele gates. The remaining seventy-one of the 9s4 who will sit in the convention are to be chosen by Oregon, Texas, Vermont, Washington and West Vir- ginia.
 Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood is leading the field with 145 delegates instructed for him. The credentials committee, which meets here May 31 to decide con tests and prepare the temporary roll of the convention, may make some changes in the list of instructed dele- gates, however, as there are 104 con-

 47 SURPLUS DELEGATES
 Besides the contests for votes, forty seven surplus delegates have been chosen from nine states, with fractional votes. The national committee will pc called on to decide whether it's rules against fractional voting delegations shall stand and the surplus delegates de- nied seats.
 The principal contests are between SUD- porters of Maj. Gen. Wood and Governor Lowden.

WILL COURT DECIDE
HESSVILLE
SUIT MONDAY?

Hopes that the old annexation dispute
between Hammond and Hessville might
vet be settled before fall, were aroused
today when Hammond attorneys heard
an unofficial report from Indianapolis
to the effect that the Supreme court
would convene Monday to dispose of
some special matters.
The high court adjourned recently
without handing down a decision in the
quo warrant suit against the officials
of the town of HessviIle. An early rul-
ing had been expected. due TO the fact
that the case had been advanced to
early hearing and oral argument had
been presented in March.
Word from Indianapolis stated that il
was understood the court would meet
Monday and attorneys acquainted with
the special matters on the calendar are
confident that the Hessville case is one
of them. If this proves to be true the
long fight between the two corporations
may be settled before another week.
Otherwise a decision cannot be cxT<cted
until after the court convenes for the
next term in November.
