3 DEFEATS DIM
JOHNSON HOPES;
MAY QUIT RACE
Will Decide Future Course
After Conferences
With Key Men

CHICAGO, April 9.-(By the As
ISOLATED Press. THE future course of
Senator Hiram johnson, candidate for
the republican presidential nomination,
will be decided upon by the. senator
within the next faw days, after confer
ence with key men in several states.
While there is no confirmation of
the suggestion that the johnson
candidacy viii be withdrawn, those who
have been active in the campaign in
the middle west make no secret of the
fact that. the johnson hopes received a
severe blow in the Michigan, Nebraska
and Illinois primaries.
Supporters of the senator have ac-
knowledged from the first that they
were waging an uphill battle for the
nomination and the recent withdrawal
of considerable financial support, added
to the primary results of the last three
weeks, have brought about a situation
calling for decisive action on the part
of the senator.
Concern for the, loyal friends and
supporters throughout the country, who
have contributed considerably in time
and money to the individual state fights
in behalf of Senator johnson, has
prompted him to confer with his key
men before finally deciding what will
be the future course of his campaign.
? President Coolidge continued to pile
up his advantage over johnson for the
presidential preference with Indications
that his majority in yesterdays Illinois
primary finally will mount to more than
100000. Tonight 1852 precincts in
GLIDING Cook county (Chicago), prac-
tically complete, gave him 413,933 and
the Californian BIC, 275, giving the Presi-
dent lead of more than $4,000. He
was shown to have gained more than
II, 900 votes on the last 500 precincts
to be reported.
Senator Mccormack today slowly
whitfield down an early substantial lead
of his rival to fewer than $500 votes,
but tonight, more than "a hours after
the polls closed, former Governor De-
neen picked up more than 1000 votes
on returns from aba of the states
5,668 precincts and had an advantage
of more than $500 votes. These pre-
cincts leaving one-sixth of the state
missing but including Cook county (Chi-
cago) practically complete gave Deneen
303, 602, Mccormick 298,098, giving
Deneen an advantage of 5,504.
William G.. McAdoo, the only demo-
cratic presidential candidate entered,
received more than 100000 votes with
half the state heard from, but was re-
jected by Illinois democrats who picked
an upinstructed delegation to the ma
tional convention in preference to a
delegation pledged to McAdoo.
William Mckinley, who ran second
to Col. A. A. Sprague for the democratic
nomination for the United States SEN
ate, tonight conceded his defeat and
sent message to Sprague pledging him
his support.

EBENSBURG, Pa, April 9.-Deny-
ing an application for writ Of ha.

night ordered IS men said to be mem
bers Of the Ku Klux Khan held with
out bail for the June term of criminal
court upon charges of murder and riot
in connection with the fatal disorders
at Lilly Saturday between townspeo-
pie and visiting klansmen.
Judge Evans declared that in the
opinion of the court it was unlawful
in Pennsylvania for a body of men to
assemble when dressed in gowns and
masks. Such demonstrations, he said,
tend to put people in fear.
Conflicting testimony was taken at
the hearing before the decision was
handed down as to the first shot fred
in the riot in which two Lilly men were
killed, another died of injuries and a
score of others wounded.
The 25 defendants were brought to
Ebensburg on a special street car today

tion plan, have proceeded so rapidly during the last three days that only a final settlement of details, includ- ing apportionment among the va rious financial capitals of the loan, remains to be worked out, it was learned authoritatively today.
 While nothing definite has as yet been arranged, 1t is considered prob able that the American share will be in the neighborhood of $100,000,- 900 but the actual amount cannot be determined until the British, Dutch Swiss and Swedish bankers ascertain finally the amounts they can handle.
 In accordance with the wishes of a considerable number of European financiers who are concerned with the issuance of the loan, 1t is con- sidered probable that it will be is- sued in two denominations-the dol lar and the pound sterling-but this arrangement awaits final confirma- ton.
 Meantime the preliminary conver- sations have been virtually com pleted. Settlement of the final de- tails awaits the arrival of Dr. Lu- ther, the German finance minister, who is expected here tonight and who will sign the loan arrangement on behalf of the German govern ment.
 Experts of the bank of England have already examined the proposed terms of the loan and agree that they are in accord with the terms of the Dawes plan and of the recom- mendations of the London confer ence.
