his total to 1870 pledged and claimed
convention votes to date. Hoover who

ing, still has lead Of 18l instructed
and claimed delegates.

today to gain further support as a re-
suit of yesterdays Nebraska primary
where 10 delegates were voted upon,
and today's convention in North Caro-
lima. where four delegates at large were
to be selected. The Commerce Secre-
tary. however, is battling Lowdcn for

ton fee in the farm relief bill held
