Chickens Zero Hour at Sunrise

Hunters who are out to day for the
first bag of prairie chickens for the
season may pretty generally be de-
pended on to have done two things,
taking their hunting licenses along
with them and left their bird dogs at
home, The state game law also has
another provision that is just as cer-
tain to be given religious observance
and that confines the days hunt to a
bag of five chickens-otherwis it
will be advisable to keep out of the
reach of the game wardens.

WOOD AND LOWDEN EACH
CLAIMING RHODE ISLAND
Delegation to Chicago Holds Final
Meeting Prior to the Ma
tional Convention.

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. May 90 cSpe-
ciaD.-The Rhode Island republican
delegation, on the eve of the Chicago
convention. is claimed by both Wood
and Lowden. Gov. r. Livingston Beck
man, chairman of the group of ten.
presided last night over the second
and last meeting of the delegation
before arrival in the convention city,
but, it was reported, there had been
no talk of candidates and no de-
cision as TO the states vote on the
first ballot was to be made until they
get together in Chicago.
Friends of both Wood and Lowden
claim that they will get six of the
ten votes Under the unit rule adopt
ed this would result in the successful
pan recGving the states entire ten
votes. Six of the delegates are MEM
bers of the Gen. Leonard Wood
League of Rhode Island. but the Low
den camp claims that two of these
prefer the Illinois governor and will
vote accordingly. Gov. Beeckman Is
known to be strong friend of Low
den.
The governor. it Is reported. is still
uncertain as to his political plans
following the convention. 1t had
earlier been taken as assured that he
would withdraw from the guberna-
torial fight this year and await the
outcome of the plans which he has
been maturing for years and which
are designed to take him to the
United States Senate and into the
seat of Senator Peter Gerry in 1922
Later it was announced that he had
changed his mind and again would
be a candidate for governor this fall

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
DRAFT NEARLY FINISHED
Leaders Here Leave Planks on
Mexico and League to Be
Worked Out at Chicago.

The group of republican party leaders
in conference here upon the party plat
form have about completed a tentative
draft which they expect to have ready
early this week for submission to pro-
spective members of the resolutions COM
mittee. These prospective members will
be given several days in which to study
1t before the Chicago convention meets.
Planks on Mexico and the league Of
nations are omitted from the draft.
IT was said last night that the party s
stand on these subjects would have to
be worked out at Chicago.
Efforts to bring republican senators
into agreement on a treaty declaration
so far have failed. but the leaders said
substantial progress had been made in
that. direction and the basis. had been
laid for Chicago conferences.
The Mexican plank is generally ex-
pected to follow the findings of the
Senate subcommittee which has spent
several months investigating Mexican
affairs. The subcommittee is about
ready to make it's report
In order TO discuss the treaty plank
and put finishing touches on the 9TH
err platform declarations, number
of prospective members of the reso-
1utions committee have been asked
to meet in Chicago next Friday with
Senator Watson of Indiana. who has
presided over the conferences here
and fs slated for chairman of the
committee which will frame the plat.

The difficulty in drawing either a
wet, dry or damp platform without
putting some of the candidates in hot

party leaders. but critics of the plank

en- the hopes of his followers in Mas
sachusetts. The general was bub-
bling over with confidence when he
arrived, and that confidence was ap-
parently heightened by, the reports
he received as to the steadfastness of
the Massachusetts delegation despite
the active Hoover sentiment.
Gen. Wood met numerous support
ers, among them j. H. Wood, a Bos-
ton man and brother of the general,
who had just returned form a two
year visit to South Africa. Later the
general was given a reception at the
Hotel Bellevue. where 200 men and
women from all parts of the state
met him. and a luncheon at the Bos-
ton City Club. attended by many
prominent Bostonians.
Massachusetts is not getting at all
excited over the convention prospects

es. Boston is strongly a Wood city,
but it is surprising the sentiment
one hears in all circles for Hoover
the more world affairs in general are
discussed. The situation in central
Europe and the near east. for which
money is being raised. has stimulated
belief that Hoover is the one man
who has general knowledge of con-
ditions and initiative with which to
act. How far that sentiment will re-
act on the delegates chosen to repre-
sent the state cannot be foretold.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. May 29.-Al-
though the state is agog with politics,
and the greatest interest is centercd up
on the primary election. to be held June
s, the matters being discussed at every
crossroads are largely local Delegates
for the democratic national convention
will be chosen at the primary, but they
have SO far been practically silent re-
garding their choice for the president a!
nomination.
Before Hoover was announced as a re-
publican one aspiring candidate declared
strongly in his favor-but since the
move was made there does not appear
any enthusiasm for the former food con-
troller here. Some talk is heard favorl
able to McAdoo. but il is not very en-
thusiastic.- and Edwards has about as
many friends as Cox. and some even
talk of Bryan as a possible resource.
The senatorial campaign is Gaxing
warm and Senator Fletcher is touring
the state defending his position on many
national questions and should sweep his
opponent, Gov. Cats. from the field with
very little trouble. Because of the great
iy divided sentiment the league of ma
tions is seldom mentioned by Fletcher,
although he is well known to be a
and its measures. Gov. Cats declares
that he Is opposed to the league. but
he seldom offers reasoni for any of his
claims or. dislikes.
Regiatfati0n ls Larger.
Frank Clark will be returned to Con-
gress from the second district. having
no opposition. and in each of the other
districts the incumbents have opposition.
No account is. taken of the fact that the
republicans have nominated men for
Congress. as the registration has already
shown that there are not enough men,
befs of the party in the state to carry a
single district. The registration is larger
than ever before, however. and the dem
ocrats are aware of the necessity for
voting in the general election. as well
as in the primary.
The withdrawal of a candidate from
the governors race leaves three men

ton Cary A. Hardee. Van c. Swear
ingen and Lincoln Hulley are conduct
ing a very lively campaign, and the re-
suit is not at all certain. Hariee rep
resents the conservative element. Swear
ingen is holding a state Office and was
appointed by Gov. Cats, Hulley is a

honors but has no chance to win in this
