Chance of Divided Delegation
1t is possible that the delegation will
be divided, with Pomcrene holding the
six delegates from the three districts
mentioned and Cox the remaining
forty-two. This would correspond with
1912, when the Newton Baker forces
won minority Of the delegation for
Wilson, thus preventing solid delcga-
tion for Judson Harmon.
The preferential primary, however, is
state wide, and every one apparently
expects it to indorse Cox az first choice.
The voters express themselves as to
second choice, also, and it is thought
that it will be impossible for any can
didate outside Of Ohio to take the sec
ond choice preference away from Pom
creme.
Polls taken recently by "Ihe Cincin-

that Cox leads the field Of Democratic
