RENO, April PA large group

Golden Hotel last night, unani-
mOusly adopted motion by Chas.
p. Squires, of Clark County, that
Senator Oddie, Congressman ArentZ
and Governor Balzar be recon-
mended to the convention as dele
gates at large to the National
convention. This left only six de-
legates to be appOrtiOned among
the various counties and evidences
of a fierce scramble for places
soon developed.
The caucus advised that the
delegates go uninstructed and that
a unit rule prevail in voting.
There is apparently an Overwhelm-
ing preference for Herbert Hoover
but party leaders think it unwiSe
to tie delegates hands. Whether
Clark county will secure a place
in the delegation is uncertain, but
this may be accomplished by work.
ing with Lincoln and other county
delegations.
That Nevada Republicans are
enthuaStic over prospects of the
success of both national and state
tickets next November, was shown
by the tremendous interest dis
played by a large number of de-
legates from all parts of the state
at the opening of the Republican
state convention shortly before
noon today.
Caucus action having been dis
posed of three of the nine delegates
and WaShoe county landing two,
which is her share. there promises
to be a fierce but good natured
contest for the remaining four
places. The convention was called
to order by State Chairman An
drew Haght who appointed the
usual committees after which the
meeting was adjourned until one
