committeeman for Texas, who re-
turned Il Brownsville Saturday

tended the state convention.

"The Texas delegation will vote as
a unit for the nomination Of Herbert
Hoover" the state committeeman de-
clared, and merely smiled when the
proposed contest of the Wurzbach-
Littleton-"Gooseneck Bill Mcdonald
faction was referred to.
There were 537 delegates in the

would have had only 121, leaving the

Relative TO the political situa-
ton in the South, Mr.. Creager pre-
dicted that Tennessee, Oklahoma and
Kentucky would give Hoover a clear
majority at the November election,
and asserted that Florida and Texas
were considered fighting ground" BY
the republican organization.
"The nomination Of Governor
Smith by the Houston convention.
now practically assured, will result
in Hoover securing n tremendous

leader declared. 'Smith is not In
