Francis G.. Tracy of Carlsbad,
with the Chaves and Eddy county
delegations, looks like a strong
contender for third place on the
first contender for third place on
the first ballot, and will be FOL
lowed by George w. Prichard and
B. S. Rodey, of Albuquerque, re-
spectively, according to present in
dications. A. B. Renehan of Santa
Fe, although avowedly not a candi-
date, is regarded as possibility
in case an unexpected deadlock oc-
ours, and w. c. Reid, Albuquerque
attorney, likely will be put before
the convention by the Bernallllo
county delegation. Mr.. Reid also
would attract a strong following
should an upset in the present indi-
cations occur.

bility.
Larrazolo Has Support.
Former Governor LarraZolo hal
strong support in the Bernalill'
county delegation, especially from
the wing led by Frank A. Hubbell

,tioned as possibilities are looked
upon as unlikely to get the guber
material nomination except in th'
event that it goes to a dark horse
