CHICAGO, June 3.-Hiram John
son took his turn today as the cen
trail figure of the pre-convention fight
for the republican presidential noml
nation.
General Wood and Governor Low
den, having occupied II succession
the spotlight OF momeatarv lcdaer-
ship in the race, Johnson, by virtue
iof the lull in the WOOD moyemeIiI
and the effect of the congressional
campaign investigation " the Low
den boom when it was az, ITS height,
moved today to the crest OF general
interest about hotel loboies and cam.
ipaign headquarters.
The Californian's arrival today was
perfectly timed with regard to the
acceleration of his candidacy in the
last two days. Indications were that
he planned a Rooseveltian whirlwind
finish in an effort to keep Ep the
momentum until the convention meets
Tuesday.
What use johnson will make Of his
opportunity was the general topic CT
interested discussion. There werp
many dsinterested observers who
believed that the situation so far ss
today is concerned was Johnson
against the field, with the senator
occupying the same position as en-
joyed successfully by Wood and Low
den heretofore.
In view of this situation, dark horse
speculation received considerable i'm
petus during the day. There was
more Hoover talk than during the
early days of the week, and quite a
renewal of comment regarding the
availability of Senator Harding as a
last hour choice. Reports from Phil
adelphia that Senator Penrose might
Issue a statement approving the can
didacy Of Governor Sproul created
much interest 1t was pointed out
that when Penrose some weeks ago
issued his statement placing the
mark of his favor on Senator Knox
he took occasion at the same time
to mention the availability of the
Pennsylvania governor should the
convention seek candidate Of the
statesman type. II was not generally
regarded that the possibility OF Il
Penrose staten ent with regard -
Sproul would definitely move him
away from his attitude toward Knox.
It was further rumored. however,
that KnOx's name may not even be
presented to the convention.
Senator Harding was due to arrive
in Chicago this afternoon. This will
bring practically all the leading can
didates, with the exception OF Hoover,
on the scene and tomorrow will mark

the disenfranchised Missouri dis
