Mr.. Cross states that he believes the
number of entrants will far exceed his
expectations. In this case the race
will be bitterly contested affair.
Fred Hackett, manager of the used
car department of the Davis-Over-
land company, as soon as he saw the
first announcement of the race broke
all speed records getting a check over

80 Overland. That fact together with
the knowledge that he is veteran at

what the race will be.

Mealey, for 10 years known among
auto fans. He drives a Dodge which
is said to be the fastest in its class
ever driven on a half-mile track.

Ohio broke on the sixth ballot Wood
taking 6 from Harding. Lowden,
Wood and Harding all gained on the
ballot drawing away from the field.
Senator Harding participated IN
conferences during the night. He also
saw Senator johnson in the latter's S
private apartments but the Califor-
MIA senator described the visit as a
convention call" and the details OF
the meeting We're not disclosed. 1t
gained significance because the back
ers of the Harding movement are
looking to Johnson supporters for aid
if their plans materialize.
To insure it strong reinforcement
from that direction some of the lead
ers during the night conferences
urged that the ticket be Harding for
president and johnson for vice-presi-
dent. They wished this ticket put
forward.
There was nothing to indicate that
Senator johnson would consent.
Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts
was also mentioned as a possible run
ming mate for Harding.
General Wood was informed of the
new move. He brought his managers
together and they determined to stick
by their guns. The negotiations be-
tween the faction leaders eliminated
in the call of Senator Harding upon
Senator Johnson.
1t was reported that Sen. johnson
threatened to throw his votes to Wood
unless the recess was taken. His man.
ayers challenged the statement declar-
ing that Johnson did not control his
delegates.
The Harding managers went down
town for a conference with the
Jonson forces'to try to bring them to
a compromise suggested last night by
which Johnson would be given second
place if fhe would take it. The
leaders said that it was important to
talk over the situation before another
ballot was taken. They assumed that
there was no longer question. of
Senator Harding winning and wanted
to consider the best man for vice
president.
The more conservative are opposed
to Senator johnson though some
thought that it would make for party
harmony if the place were Offered
him.
1t has been generally known
Johnson would oppose the Harding
nomination and when the convention
gave evidence of about to take
Harding, Senator Johnson went to
Senator Harding for conference.

paid for himself by the increased at-
