close certain information that a race

Among delegates here, United States
Senator Thomas Walsh. of Montana,
was being mentioned for permanent
chairman of the convention position
in connection with which the name of
cambridge Colby, Secretary of State,
has been frequently heard.
"No documents have been filed in
behalf of Senator Reed" said Mr.. Cum
mings, "but a large number of tel
egrams of protest received from Mis-
souri, assure contest in case creden-
tials are filed for him.
Party leaders assumed that Senator
Reeds case will rest upon the conten-
tion that the Missouri State conven-
tion's action in referring the selection
of Mr.. Reed as a delegate back to the
Fifth district convention makes the
remaining Of Reed by the district con-
vention mandatory. The Senator's op-
ponents will hold, it is said, that the
State conventions rejection of Reed
by decisive vote should govern and
that the alternate named by the dis
trict and ratified by the State body
should be seated.
There was a possibility of abandon
ing the requirement for two thirds
majority in the convention to nominate
a candidate and of the unit rule, by
which States ballots are voted en-
bloc. Mr.. Cummings said the two.
