MAJORITY OF
DELEGATES NAMED

Columbus, Ohio, April 28.-Forty-
two of the forty eight delegates to be
two Of the forty-eight delegates to the
republican national convention were
claimed by Senator Warren G. Hard
ing's managers today. The claims
were based on complete but unofficial
returns from 1857 precincts out of a
total Of 5,882.
Unofficial returns, managers of Gen.
eral Woods campaign said, showed
Wood would have at least eight dele
gates. They also expressed hope of
capturing at least one delegate at
large.
Unofficial returns from 2,857 pre-
cincts on the preferential vote showed
Harding leading Wood by less than
1000 votes, with Senator johnson run
ming third and Herbert Hoover fourth.
The vote was: Harding, 68,088, Wood
64,612, johnson 8,078, Hoover 6,768.
The vote is not binding on the dele
gates but is presumed to reflect the
personal desires of the voters.
Governor Cox had no opposition and
took the entire forty-eight democratic
delegates. A comparatively small
number of democratic voters wrote in
the names of Hoover Bryan, McAdoo
and others on their ballots.
1t was believed Harding would
carry the preferential ballot by about
$4,000. Johnson's written in vote sur
prised the politicians. He got his vote
largely in industrial and railroad CEN
tiers. Hoover lead him by wide mar
gin in Hamilton county, which includes
Cincinnati. Hoover was given 4,495
votes here, against 1872 for Johnson

The chief soIoist of the evening,
Miss Myrna Sharlow, of the Chicago
Grand Opera Company, surprised and
delighted her hearers by the beauty
and the charm Of her singing. Toron-
to has been fortunate in hearing con-
number of gifted new-com-
.ers this season, and Miss Shar1ow
ranks among the best of them. She
has youth, magnetism and beauty, and
her voice is velvety, sweet and Of wide
compass. The excellence of her train
ing was chiefly demonstrated by her
of the nelodious soprano
aria from Mozart's II Re Pastoral It
was an admirable example of legato
singing, and her rendering of the diff
ficult cadenza was remarkable in sus-
tanned power and vocal control. In the
familiar aria, Zone Fine Day." from
MADAME Butterfly" she showed tenn:
permental qualities that are also ex-
ceptional. Among her shorter num-
bers, Horseman' Bird of the Wilder
ness" was the most effective, and the
rich resources of her voice were also
demonstrated in her rendering of
deep River" song by the negro
composer, Henry T. Burleigh, which
has become reigning favorite among
concert singers. Normal Auditorium
