Chicago, June 6.-Governor Lowden has reconsidered his intention of leaving this city during the sessions of the con- vention and will probably re- main here at least a part of this week.
 q probably will not go to Spring field tomorrow night said the gov ernor today. q do not know just when I will go, but I probably will remain in town during several days of the convention
 The governor said he was entirely satisfied with the situation as it ex- sists in the Illinois delegation and had nothing to say when asked if he had any comment to make on the statement issued last night by William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicagot
 It was stated at Lowden headquar- ters that previous to the Thompson statement emissaries of the Thompson faction visited Lowden headquarters, carrying a compromise proposition on the national committeeman contest in Illinois The Thompson proposition was that both Thompson and Senator Sherman withdraw from the fight and suggested that John B. Skinner of Chicago. a Thompson man, but favora ble to Lowden, be elected as a com promise candidate The Lowden head quarters announced that the proposi- ton was rejected.
 Governor Lowden said he had no, given the question of permanent or ganization in the convention any con- .5fI A% s,t4 $r
 Tt makes no difference to us who is permanent chairman or what the per manent organization is,'' said the gov ernor.
 Most of the eighty-eight New York delegates arrived today on special train, which was plastered with pos- ters proclaiming the candidacy of Nicholas Murray Butler. Senate Wadsworth headed the delegation. He was the only member of the big four on the train
 Personal statements by the C.; gates indicated that pr. Butler would have the vote on the first ballots, and that later some of the eighty eight votes would be thrown to some other candidate. General Wood, delegates thought, is likely to receive many New York votes, although it was not pre- dicted that he would be favored by majority of the delegation.
 Governor Lowden's candidacy has the support of many, and some dele- gates from Brooklyn and the Bronx were outspoken in favor of Senator Johnson. Former Judge Nathan L. Miller, one of the big four, is credited with a preference for Hoover.
 A conference of the delegation will be held tomorrow. at which Senator Wadsworth will be selected chairman and Charles D. Hilles of New York, nae tional committeeman, succeeding Her bert Parsons. The conference also is expected to name Ogden L. Mills as a. member of the committee on resolu- tions and Senator William M. Calder a member of the committee on perma- nent organization. Presidential pos abilities also will be discussed and it is planned to try to reach some agree ment as to the number of ballots on which the delegation will support Dr. Butler and to canvass sentiment as. to whom support shall be given if the Butler candidacy is abandoned
