ADVANCE GUARD
OF DELEGATES
LEADING MEN OF BIG REPUBLI-
CAN MEET ARRIVE In
CHICAGO

Chicago, June 1.-Two republican
presidential NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hi
ram Johnson of California, and Sen
ator Harding of Ohio-arrived in
Chicago today and their coming
marks the beginning of the active
days of the pre-convention period.
Four days remain before the repub
lican party assemblies in the coliseum
to pick it's candidate and those four
days are expected to contain crowded
hours of conferences, last minute
alignment of forces and final deci-
sions among the campaign managers.
Every one of the candidates except
Herbert Hoover is expected here at
some time.
The advance guards of the dele
gates are beginning to arrive and by
Sunday they will be coming in a
steady stream. The majority of them,
to be sure, are technically unpledged,
but most of them have their leanings
and very few of them are claimed by
less than three campaign managers.
Some of the chairman of the incom-
ing delegations are announcing their
preferences in prepared statements
which breathe confidence of success
but the political managers standing
on the side lines and making up their
state have found no reason for chang
ing their opinion that while some of
the candidates have enough delegates
to give them formidable fighting
strength in the convention it is going
to take more than two or three bal
lots to show where the forces of con-
ciliation and compromise must be ap-
piled to bring forth candidate who
will command majority.
If the realm of speculation were to
be entered it would be necessary to
mention practically every candidate
who has announced himself thus far
because every one of these candidates
has manager who advances a set
of reasons why his principal is the
logical choice for a convention which
will not be prepared to give major
ity of its votes to any one at the out
set.
AS the delegates begin to gather
there is a forerunner of discussion of
the convention issues which will find
expression in the party platform, and
those who are interested in having
the party take a position on various
subjects are busy lining up influences
which they expect to be effective IN
the deliberations of the resolutions
committee.
