Big Fight at Kansas City Will
Probably Be Between
Hoover and LOwden

Washington, May 3O.-tR-The
last of the delegates to the Kansas
City convention have been selected,
and none of the candidates for the
Republican presidential nomination
are claiming enough strength to win
on the first ballot.
The winner must gain majority,
545. Hoover's managers say he has
almost that many delegates in the
bag now. The last minute trend.
they predict, will benefit the COM
merce secretary and clinch his nom-
ination before the convention read
ing clerk gets warmed up to call

As Hoover's political foes see it.
however, this won't happen. They
have contended all along that his
managers have been taking in too
much territory with their delegate
claims. They insist he is far from
in, and that events from now on
right up to the moment OF ballot
ing will unmake Hoover rather
than make him.
I.owden Men Confident
Lowden's managers predict that
the former Illinois governor will
have around 800 votes on the first
ballot, and they chart out, in theil
speculations, course of develop
ments that would build his strength
up to the nominating point-some
thing that, this time, the Hoove'
lieutenants say is not even probable
