BY Convention Time.

Chicago, May 7--Wood national
headquarters here announced yesterday
that the General now has more than
260 delegates either instructed or pledged
to him, and that between now and
the Chicago Convention this total will
be increased to at least 32j delegates
The list as now tabulated does not in
cludc the thirty d d'legatcs from Indiana
nor any from Colorado. both of which
States they expect to- give majority OF
their votes to General Wood on the first
ballot
The Indiana Republican State Convon-
tion will meet in Indianapolis next
Wednesday, and Wood supporters IN In
diana contend that as General Wood
received more than twice as many votes
IS Governor Lowden, four times as
many as Senator Harding and plural
ity over Senator Johnson, that he rs en-
titled to the delegation. This view IS
challenged by many old line Republican
leaders and they arc likely to oppose any
move for an instructed delegation.
