 Wilson Stand Unknown
 Just where President Wilson stands on that subject has not been clear, but increasing significance was at tracted in the days conference to the absence of any reference to prohibit tion in the Virginia Democratic plat form, unqualifiedly endorsed by MT. Wilson. Neither has the alministra- ton tipped it's hand in regard tO can dldates and tonight the relative stand ing of aspirants remained apparently unchanged, Attorney General Pal mer arrived during the day to take personal charge of his campaign and by tomorrow the gunning Cf candi- dates and their managers among the uninstructed delegates is expected to be at it's highest.

 Bryan Keeps Counsel
 "1 expect to see a dry plank in the Democratic platform, said Wm. J. Bryan on his arrival here tonight. q have no thought that wet plank can be put into it."
