spend about two weeks making the
survey.
One Of the first things the group
Will do, according 20 Mr.. Anderson.
Is to make a careful study Of a
series of airplane photographs Of
proposed dam sites which were TAX
en- some time ago. These photo
graphs will enable the group Of engi-
neers to pick the most likely places

sections that are not suitable.
The erection of a dam is consid-
cred of Importance in connection

ment question. as il will make avail
able a large part Of the waters Of

flow Of the Rio Grande Is estimated
at approximately 100000 acre feet.
OF this less than 100000 acre feet

by engineers.
Hence. one Of the most important
steps toward q settlement Of the
water question between the two

CONTRADICT CLAIMS
North Carolina Factions De-
termined to Fight to
Finish for Control.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTE. N. c.. May 29.-With
conflicting claims coming from both
camps yesterday, supporters Of Gov.
Smith OF New York and those opposing
him apparently had settled down to a
fight for control of the county conven-
tion June g. Belated returns from out
lying counties left no change in the
standing of the rival candidates for
North Carolina Democratic indorse-
ment for the nomination for the presi-
dency, merely adding to the total of
uninstructed delegations TO county
conventions.
Voting Results.
Reports received from all except
three isolated mountain counties yes
terday brought the total indicated
State convention vote reported up to
1929, with the following divisions:
Hull, 533: Smith, 379: uninStructed,
structed for a dry candidate, So; Gov.
Mclean. g.: to be selected at mass
county conventions June Q. 64: to be
chosen June 2, Is: unreported. "a.
Total State convention vote, 1883.
Conflicting Claims.
While Hull supporters and United
States Senator f. M. Simmons, leader
OF the anti-Smith forces in the State,
were claiming a great victory for the
Tennesseean. Smith supporters assert
ed that reports of precincts meeting
were misleading. w. b. Jones OF
Raleigh. in a statement issued for the
Smith committee OF North Carolina
pointed to the fact that In many coun-
ties the precinct conventions voted
that any Democrat in good standing
might participate In the county con-
vention, and also in many OF those
listed as uninstructed the vote was
taken to indicate how the Democrats
in attendance stood on the subject OF
the presidency Mr.. Jones asserted
that practically every report received
by the Smith committee clearly indi-
Gates great majority of the vote cast
In the preferential primary OF Saturday
Is for Gov. Smith
At the same time similar claims
were being made by the Hull forces.
