Sectional meetings were held dur

Old Timers Fear Stampede
Unless Trusted Leader
Takes Saddle.
TALK OF DARK HORSE
Will Not Nominate Any Man
Connected With the Recent
Senate Expense Probe,
By Associated Press

By Associated Press:
CHICAGO. June Its old time
leaders unhorsed and its favorites
for the presidency deadIocked. the
republican party viii begin its na-
tiOnaI convention here Tuesday un-
der conditions OF uncertainty unpar-
alleled In recent political history
Embossed and largely morgan
lied. the delegates were asking one
another Monday night iuwhat direc-
ton they were straying and when
master would arise 20 lead them out
OF the wilderness OF their own inde-
cisiOn.
Predict Deadlock.
In the noisy turmoil OF convention
eve. the only definable trend seemed
70 be driving Wood. Lowden and
Johnson into a deadlock fight which,
IL was recognized everywhere. might
destroy them all. The old timers,
rejecting that it IS but a step from a
deadlocked convention 10 a STAN
pede IN the convention. wondered
what might happen next unless
some tried and trusted leader set
tied himself securely in the saddle
Many were recalling the Chicago
| convention in 1880. when the favor
ties all were deserted after a dead
| lock OF 35 ballots and James A. Gar
| aeld. who had won the convention
i BY a nominating speech, was nomi-
mated.
Talk OF a dark horse. in which
| some OF the more experienced prac-
teal politicians Joined Monday
night for the first,time. began 70 re-
voive with an increasing frankness
| about the disclosures OF the senate's
4 - Ten n
lures. At many scattering confer
ences those who advocate dark
horse nomination predicted that in
L the end no man whose name was IN
volved at all in the evidence or the
| investigating committee could be
put before the country as the party's
choice.
In the main, however, the leaders
and near-leaders caucGssed and con-
ferred and brought forth nothing.
Even those who held the whip hand
over a few delegates here and there
and seemed TO get together with the
other less potential dictators OF
party policy. The result was a
foggy picture OF the possibilities OF
the next few days.
Il became apparent that unless
there came a dramatic and une1-
pected change. the first ballot 20 be
taken wednesday or Thursday will
record votes for between 10 and 20
candidates for the presidency. with
i scarcely moro than half enough 70
nominate IN the Wood. Lowden or
Johnson column.
To what extent the managers for
! the leading three can hold their
L delegates IN line after an unsuccess-
full test OF strength IS a subject OF
controversy. There are those who
| contradict the claims OF the Wood.
