Bay State Delegates
Report Detroit District
Drastic on Enforcement

Chicago, June 6.-Members of the
Massachusetts delegation reported to
day on their arrival that blighting
drought had threatened their special
train while passing through the De-
troit internal revenue district.
AS the train crossed the Canadian
line they said, an enforcement officer
conducted single handed raid
searching baggage in so thorough a
manner that three bottles of gin and
two bottles of brandy were taken into
custody.
Later, while the train was held. an
appeal was made to the chief Of the
district, delegates said, and finally an
order that the Bottles be returned,
presumably for medicinal purposes,
was handed down
preparations to proceed were made
when the raiding officer discovered
that three of the trophies of his
search has disappeared. Delegates

ellis have come to the conclusion
that about the best way out is to let
the candidates with the largest
number of supporters trot a few
heats to show the convention what
they can or cannot do. Those fav-
oring this plan feel perfectly GER
tain that none of the candidates will
be nominated on the test ballots.
After the three leading candidates
have demonstrated to the convention
that they have not enough votes to
nominate themselves, it is argued
that the delegates themselves will be
in better position to determine
whether they prefer to combine on
one of the three, or to look at some
dark horses.
The practical politicians begin to
realize today that the only solution
offered was to Let the convention call
for u dark horse and then show it a
few of them to register their
strength and to finally demonstrate
to the convention that it could go
further, and fare worse than to take
Johnson, Lowden or Wood All the
decision tonight of the principal bal
loting centers around these three
names, but the dark horse names
are too many to be recorded.
May Nominate Friday
Three ballots. and possibly four,
by Thursday night, is the prediction
being most freely made, coupled with
the further prediction of final ballot
ing on Friday.
1t is realized on all sides, that
forces of neither Johnson, Lowden
nor Wood will give up the struggle
without battle. The fight upon the
platform planks, particularly that on
the League of Nations, continues to
promise test of strength of the
various elements, and renewed pre-
dictions are being made that the
element which succeeds in drafting a
platform acceptable to the conven-
ton will also be able to provide a
candidate equally acceptable. At this
time four years ago. Charles Evans
Hughes was as good as nominated,
although the ballots were not cast
until four days later. Tonight he is
being mentioned here and there
among the dark horses.
Taft Mentioned
Mention of former President Taft
is also heard in the same way. The
Hughes talk, which could not be
designated as a boom. and yet bears
the statements Of a, good deal of sup
port, was brought in by New York
business men and fnanciers. who
contended that he is man upon
whom all the elements could unite.

and Senator Harding of Ohio also
