she did later on, when he seemed to
her to be gallant to every woman

(Dy Associated Press)

Louisville, May 4-The Times
today says that Senator Stanley
and former Senator Camden have
disagreed over the selection of a
chairman of the combined State
Democratic Committees, and inJ
dicates as a result, that a struggle
may be made in the Democratic
State Convention here this after
noon with the probability that
Kentucky may send an unin-
structed delegation to the Ma
tional Convention in San Francis
CO.
Moreover it indicates report
ed agreement last night whereby
neither Stanley nor Beckham
would be on the delegation at
large and which was withdrawn
by both Senators today and the
program now is that both will be
named.
Judge Charles Hardin, of .Har-
rodsburg, notified the organiza-
ton which is managing the cam
paign of Gov. Cox, of Ohio, for
President, that he would endeav-
or to retain his place as head OF
the committees, and would seek
an uninstructed delegation to
San Francisco.
Cox leaders today said there
were prospects for a convention
struggle, due to the combination
between the Fifth district organ
ization and both Beckham and
Stanley for an uninstructed dele
cation. Senator Camden is quot
ed as saying he invited such q
fight" and that ''now is the time
to clean the barnacleS from the
! bottom of the Democratic ship
At the district conventions dur
ing the morning, the Third dis
trict endorsed Marion S. Taylor
for National Committeeman.
In the Fourth district a resolu
ton endorsing former Senator
Camden was tabled and in thC
Eighth resolutions endorsing
each man were withdrawn
In the Tenth Camden was Ell
dorsed; none others took action.
Delegates in eight of the dis
trict conventions were instructed
to cast their ballots for Governo
Cox. They were uninstructed ii
the Fifth and no resolutions o
instructions were adopted in th'
| Second and Third.

ly advertised, was of short duration,
being spirited bidding thoroughout

before the sale, and the merits of the
location, together with the quality of
the ground ETC., and there was a large
attendance among whom were many
who commented upon the probable
price the property would bring The

lceived representing the sale price in
dicate another angle of the value of
property in the city of Richmond and
