Leonard Wood, here today for a hur-
ried conference with Senator Lodge. OF

radical national economy, Gen. Wood
declared. Cen Wood declined to com

VOTING In ALABAMA
HEAVIEST ON RECORD

Montgomery. Ala, May 11.-Voting
In the democratic primary In Mont
gomery and central and south Alabama
today in the early hours Of the contest
was heavy. News gathered from the
several counties OF this part of the
state showed that good weather pre-
vailed and keen interest taken, many
counties reporting the heaviest vote
ever cast.
Reports from all sections Of the state
at noon bore out early predictions that
the vote would be unusually heavy. In
Birmingham and Jefferson county cam
paign managers predicted $4,000 votes
would be counted out OF a total regis
tration of about $4,000. The ballot is
much longer than usual, and this, to-
gether with the system Of voting FIRST
and second choices, will probably delay
final results for several days.
