Atlanta, Ga., May 1S.-Resolutions expressing "unalterable opposition to the league of nations covenant as brought back from Paris by Pres ident Wilson advocating free speech free press and local self government and asking repeal of all espionage, sedition and conscription laws pass ed during the war, were adopted here late tonight by the state democratic iconNention.
 Supporters of Thomas E. Watson and Senator Hoke Smith took poses sion of the democratic state conven- tion meeting here today to elect del tion.
 Up to adjournment tonight for din- ner the forces of Attorney General Palmer who won a plurality in the recent presidential preference pri- mary, had been voted down on all except one measure, that concerning the delegation from Chatham coun- ty.
 w. c. Vereen was elected national committeeman over Clark Howell, a Palmer man and reading of resolu- tions presented by Rollins Randolph of Atlanta, indorsing the president treaty and league of nations with reservations "that may not be de structive" was greeted with an up roar of misses, jeers and cries "we've repudiated that"
 Repeated attempts of the Palmer faction to have read the report of the state democratic executive com- mittee were ruled out of order after having been once voted down. This committee had held that under the rules of the primary, Palmer hav- ing won a plurality of county unit votes in the primary was entitled to the Georgia delegation at the na- tional convention.
 Mount Pelier, Vt., May 19.-Re- turns from approximately one-third of the state in yesterday as presiden- tial preference primary early today showed that Major General Leonard Wood had boiled about 70 per cent of an extremely light republican vote half dozen men who have been men, toned as presidential possibilities.
 Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor- mia and Herbert Hoover were running a close race for second place and Governor Coolidge of Mass, and Will liam Grant Webster of New York were in a close race for third place.
 Philadelphia, May 1S.-Returns from 119 districts out of the 7,118 in the state show that the regular re- publican slated candidates for del egates at large in today's primary election throughout Pennsylvania are leading by from 400 to 600 votes. These figures do not include any from Philadelphia. Charles l.. Bid dle, who is not on the slate, is run ming close to the regular slate.
 Returns from 195 scattered pre- cincts for democratic nomination give Joseph F. Guffey of Pittsburgh, a lead of more than 1,40O over Eugene |C. Bonniwell of Philadelphia. Cuff fey was supported by Attorney Gen. eral Palmer.
 Because of the large bollot and numerous local fights the counting of the vote for delegates at large and the democratic national commit tee was exceedingly slow.
