HODGES BOOM ON
Kansas Delegates Start Demon

Name viii Go Before Conven-
ton for Vice President.

San Francico. Cal, June 30.-Kan-
sas delegates today started demonstra-
tions for George H. Hodges for vice
president, following a caucus. Home
state delegates and visitors went to
the convention wearing Hodges arm
badges. while others carried banners
bearing the name of the former gov
ernor. Workers urged support for
Hodges among delegates on the floor
and asserted they had received a num-
Der of pledges.
Hodges's name will doubtless go
before the convention as one of the
first vice presidential candidates.
It is probable second place nomina-
tions will be made Friday night or
Saturday.
