Chicago. June /. Campaign man
ayers and lieutenants were max
ing q last day drive upon delegates
today in the interests Of candidates
for the Republican presidential
nomination.
Although the balloting was not
expected to begin before Thursday,
state caucuses scheduled for today
were looked upon as closing the
door to general incursions into the
various delegations. through prac-
tical determination Of how the
states would stand on their first
vote. The real maneuvering will
get under way after the initial test
Of strength in the opening ballot,
but SO far as first choice is con-
cerned, politicians believed the
first apportionment Of delegates
will be well determined by tonight
Guess on First Ballot
Available information regarding
overnight developments in the ap-
portionment of first choice delega-
tions would indicate the following
possible vote ON the first ballot:
Major General Wood, 255; Gov
ernor Frank o. Lowden. 215; Sem
ator Hiram johnson, 176; DR.. Mich
olas Murray Butler, 107: Governor
William c. sproul, 7s; Senator
Warren g. Harding. 81: Governor
Calvin Coolidge, 2e; Judge J. g.
Pritchard, %; Senator Howard
Sutherland. Is: Jacob L.. Hamoli.
Is: Senator Miles Poindexter, II.
There were three outstanding
features today definite trend"
toward Butler, who had figured but
little heretofore, and discovery that
the supporters OF Herbert Hoover,
supposedly the veriest amateurs In
politics, had borrowed leaf from
their more practical brethren and
apparently built up surprisingly
strong aggregation Of second choice
delegates.
Paired Against Lowden.
The Butler people declare the
final battle in the convention will
be between their man and Lowden,
eliminating Wood and Johnson in
the first five ballots. They are
hoping johnson will carry out his
threat to take to the Coliseum floor
his fight against the League Of Ma
tions in any form. Butler has re-
iterated his intention Of defend
ing the Lodge reservations. should
johnson raise such IN issue.
Hoover hackers have literally
carried out his canny advice. voic-
ed shortly after he aligned himself
with the Republicans, to keep his
name out Of the. primaries and
state convention and work among
delegates already committed to
another candidate to get their sec
ond choice. Investigation has dis
closed that there has been constd-
erable strength developed. From
authoritative sources it was learn
ed that Hoover's name may not be
presented to the convention In the
first group Of. nominations. but
withheld until his organization can
bring their second choice strength
into play.
