denied, however, at the Wood camp.
Matters may come to a head the first
Of the week. Col. Proctor is expected
back from Washington today or tomor-

ported to have strained the relations
between Hitchcock and Proctor was

7he. took a round about slap at the Wood
hardlers by saying he did not helieve
in large campaign expenditures.
