appear that the nomination OF any one
OF them would be anything but a re-
pudiation of the President and his ad-
ministration.
New York to Vote for Coolidge:
The most significant statement made
by any Of the incoming delegates so
far was that of George K. Morris. Re-
publican State chairman OF New York,
when he arrived here today: Mr.
Morris said that the New York delega-
ton would cast so OF its 90 votes for
the President on the first ballot. unless
word came that the President would
decline the nomination.
II the President declines. then Mr..
Morris said. New York's delegation
would vote for Mr.. Hoover. And most
significant OF all. ne added:
I'VE can not repudiate the adm'H;s-
tration Of Coolidge and win this Fall.
The nomination Of Lowden. of Vice
President Dawes or any of the farm
bloc crowd would be regarded as re-
pudiation of Coolidge and his stand on
the McNary- -Haugen bill. II Coolidge
will not axe the nomination there Is
only one thing left for us to do-nomi-
nate Herbert Hoover. There ts no
doubt Hoover would carry on the Cool
idge policies next November"
Mr. Morris, however. Is prepared to
go through with .he effort to draft Mr..
Coolidge. 'I am in favor Of the move
ment that Is under way to go right
ahead with his nomination" he ex-
planned.
So the situation comes around to the
original proposition. that there is to be
a real effort to draft the President
which he alone can halt II he does not
desire to be nominated. Connecticuts
delegation will be cast solidly for the
President Henry j, Roroback Rspub-
lican boss OF that State. says. The
Vermont delegation. from the Presi-
dents native State. is prepared to vote
the same way and there are scattering
delegates from a number of other
States who will also vote for Coolidge
nomination on the first ballot.
Mellon Due In Few Hours.
When the President will give a def
mite manifestation OF his purpose in this
matter Is still locked in obscurity. Sec
retary Andrew Mellon. head of the
Pennsylvania delegation. Is expected
here within few hours. There are
those who believe he will bring the
latest word from the White House.
The Pennsylvania delegation will caucus
here Monday night to determine what
they shall do on the first ballot Mr.
Mellon has it in his power TO turn the
tide absolutely for Hoover II he de-
termines to cast the whole 70 votes OF
the State for the Secretary of Com
merce on the first ballot.
The Presidents secretary, Everett
Sanders OF Indiana. is to come to the
convention, and there have been runors
he may bear the Presidents final word
regarding the nomination.

The perfect contest, / feel, went
something along these lines:
At no time was forced to depend
on any one punch 20 reach the cklal-
lenger or hurt him more than an
other. That was mixing them up"
and the proof of the perfection
there, comes OF detailed account of
Just what caused the greatest dam

For I'M lance. In the third

from landing effectively with all
these punches cannot be over
estimated. Each one calls for a
defense all its own and forces open

may be landed.
There is another point Of which
am quite proud. At times in
the Heeney match I was able ia
