After a short conference be-
tween Gov. Morrow and Colonel
Hert it was announced that there
would be a caucus of the dele
gates from Kentucky at II
o'clock tomorrow morning in the
Governors suite. 1t will be for
the purpose of counting noses on
the question of Presidential pref
erence of the 20 delegates, all OF
whom are uninstructed, and for
determination of selections for
representation on the committees
of the convention.
The impression at Kentucky
headquarters seems to be general
the Kentucky delegation tomor-
row will agree to vote solidly for
Gov Lowden so long as his name
is before the convention.
Gov. Morrow, when asked for
his opinion upon this subject,
said:
"Unquestionab1y the greatest
number of our delegates are for
Lowden, and it is my belief that
the delegation will vote for him
as a unit"
Mrs. Morrow, who is not a
member of the delegation in the
sense that she has a vote, proba-
bly, will not be convirsced that she
is for Lowden. MY personal
preference is Senator Warren G..
