 The delegates will caucus to- day for the purpose of selecting members to the National Com mittee and two important com mittees of the convention.

A. Thompson, campaign manager
for United States Senator Frank
B. Willis, favorite son candidate,
that Willis was approached with

States fifty-one national con-

Thompson charged that i'm
medlately after Senator Willis an
nounced his candidacy, Hoover man
ayers demanded that Willis either
enter into an agreement to name
Hoover Ohio's second choice of all
the delegates or Hoover would enter
the Ohio primary.
Hoover adherents made a similar
charge a few days ago. asserting
Willis supporters had approached
them.
Thompson criticised Senator
George H. Moses (Rep), New
Hampshire, who was said to have is
sued a statement declaring Willis
was attempting to hog-tie the Ohio
delegates.
ThompsonIs latest attack followed
the announcement in Cleveland
that Maurice H. MaSchke, Repub-
lican national committeeman from
Ohio, had withdrawn tentative
promises Of support to Willis and
would support Hoover.

Men Wanted.
SHERIFF NOT CONVINCED
By UHited Press


LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 49,
Sheriff c. e. Johnston of Tippe-
canoe County expressed himself to-
day as being rather skeptical that
the two men captured in Ohio were
the missing convicts who are be-
heved to have murdered Deputy
Sheriffs John P. Grove and Wallace
Mcclure, but added that he is
taking no chances, and had sent two
st. Clairsville deputies capable Of
Identifying the missing men.
The sheriff pointed out that when
last heard from, John Burns and
Samuel Baxter, the convicts, we're
at Decatur, ILL.,, and expressed some
doubt that they had doubled back
through Indiana, where an intensive
search was in progress for them,
and passed into Ohio.
In the meantime, search for the
bodies of Mcclure and Grove was
redoubled after Herman Kyle, a
school hack driver, residing south
east Of Lafayette, had informed au-
thorities that early Tuesday morn
ing, as he started to cross the road
to his home after milking his cows,
a touring car resembling that in
which the deputies and their prison.
erS had started to the Indiana re-
formatory at Pendleton sped past
at a high rate of speed.
Two young men, whom he rec
ognized later from pictures as
Burns and Baxter, were In the front
seat, Kyle, said. In the rear of the
automobile there appeared to be
large bundles covered with a robe.
These bundles Kyle declared he be-
lieved to have been the bodies of the
deputies.
