THINK JOHNSON ID
 AGREE ID RUN FOR VICE PRESIDENCY
"Old Guard" Busily Specu- lating on Whether to Give Nomination to Knox
 or Harding
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Chicago, June II. = (Spe- cial. )-An effort is under way tonight to induce Senator Johnson to accept the vice presidential nomination, and despite his apparent un- willingness, it is believed by best posted politicians that be- fore tomorrow's sun he will agree and be nominated. And then the problem of the "old guard" will be solved.
 So definite has the situation become that there is general speculation to- night as to whether Senator Knox of Pennsylvania or Senator Harding of Ohio will be given the presidential nomination. It would be easier for the "old guard" to adjust the situation with Knox, for the Pennsylvanian is older than Harding, and Johnson as vice president would lave a better op- portunity to become master of the White House were Knox President than were the President Harding. On the other hand. the logical course for the "old guard' would be to name man from a doubtful state, as Ohio, and not a man from a state as cer- tainly republican as Pennsylvania. In none of the conservative speculation does Wood or Johnson figure tonight as a possible winner. Lowden is still considered, although it is quite def initely agreed that it would be suicidal to select a man who has used money in securing delegates as long as other men just as able are obtainable. This would spell the end of the Illinois gov ernor and leave only Harding and Knox with whom to reckon.
 The convention to date has banned out in exact accordance with the gem eral pre-convention prediction. The deadlock was reached and unbroken after the fourth ballot. Adjournment was ordered. In the Hobbies the dele entions of the candidates are enthus- iastically cheering and exhorting. Johnson issues statements of confi- dence and defiance. Wood declares himself absolutely confident, and Low den goes to bed feeling reasonably certain of crossing the tape by after noon tomorrow. And in their chamber inc bosses are all but nominating the man. Their problem will be solved be- fore the break of day and the remain der will be easier.

NEXT CONVENTION
 ID HAVE A BOSS,
 MONTAGUE THINKS
Self-Determination May Work In Primaries, But It Is a Total Loss In
 National Convention
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

Chicago, June 11.--(Special )-There may never be another national repub-
 lican convention. but if thVfe Is one. de -bossed convention here in Chicago, and they didn't like it. Self-deter- imitation may work all right In the primaries but it is a total loss in re- publican convention.
 For a week the delegates have been wandering around here in the untrod- den ways of independence. They ex- pected Penrose, and Penrose didn't come. They turned to Uncle Murray
 Crane and foud that he was so wrapped up in a mantle of caution that he would as soon order a drink as q delegate, and ordering a drink around
 here simply isn't done by rich and respectable old gentlemen from New England.
 For days the delegates went about piteously begging one man and then another to tell them what to do. The situation got jammeder and jammed CT and still no clarion notes of command rang out. When they finally got down to nominations they had no programme and work that could have been done in twenty minutes occupied many dreary hours.
 NO ENTHUSIASM Now they have got candidate they won't know whether they like him or not unless somebody will tell them. There has been no enthusiasm in the proceedings because there has been nobody to start 1t. It takes a Ooss even to start a first-class fight. I'm not knocking the primary law or anything like that. It is a good law back home. You can go into ballot box, pick out your favorite son and vote for him without the aid or con- sent of any boss on earth. but when upward of a thousand men. more than half of them perfect strangers to one another, meet in strange city and are expected without any direction to make a momentous decision in less than weeks time they simply can't do it.
 You couldn't get away with that in business, and you can't get away with lit in politics. If the primary law is i to prevail the convention must go You can't have both Of them without the same kind of pointless snarl that has been going on in Chicago this l week.
