tics. The Kansan seemed to fit in
the picture. However, there is no
doubt that the distaste of many of
the leaders and of many of the Eastern
Republicans for Senator Borah was
a help, a decided help. to the Landon
candidacy in the East.
Fear of B.orah on Wane.
With the fear Of Borah on the wane,
some Of the Eastern leaders now are
reported to be looking about If they
are thinking of ditching Landon-pro-
vided he will not give them what they
vant-they may find themselves too
late. The Landon sentiment has run
ahead of them and their expectations.
They may not be able to handle their
own State delegations in this matter.
And, Furthermore, with the increasing
interest and activity of the young
Republicans, the power of these old
guard leaders to control their delega-
tions is leSsening.
Landon campaign managers figure
their candidate will have upward of
400 delegate votes on the first ballot
within hundred of the sol necessary
to nominate, with the whole strength
Of the convention counted. They
might not be surprised If he were nom
mated on the first ballot. They would
be greatly surprised if he did not go
across on the second or third.
If Charles D. Hilles, the Republican
national committeeman for New York,
decided to go against Landon at the
national convention-and be it said
right here that Mr.. Hilles has not
taken such a position so far-could
he take the Empire States big delega-
ton, 80 in number, with him? The
best information obtainable is that at
least 80 of the New York delegates
would not be so guided, but would side
with Landon.
Connecticut Is Factor.
In regard to Connecticut, where
Henry Roraback, the national commit
teeman, is boss" it is believed that
real pro-Landon sentiment exists in
the delegation. Nor has Mr.. Rora-
back indicated he would oppose the
Kansas Governor.
Pennsylvania, with its delegation of
rs, still is conundrum. Former Sen
ator David A. Reed, national COM
mitteeman, is expected to head the
delegation. He has made no commit
ments so far as is known. However,
in Pennsylvania, as in other States, the
Landon movement has gained momen-
tuum and 1t is understood a number
OF the delegates are favorable to the
nomination of the Kansan.
Col. r. B. Creager, for years the
Republican national committeeman
for Texas, is expected to head the
Texas delegation of Is at the con-
vention. Creager is an old friend and

.LANDON HOSTILITY
MAY SHAKE G. 0.P.
Leaders Weigh Convention
Threat if Borah Follow

BY the Associated Press.

6y INC AsSOclhIeQ FreSs.
Outcropping Of hostility toward
Gov. Landon Of Kansas among some
followers Of Senator Borah presented
worrisome problem tonight for Re-
publicans bent on convention har-
mony.
While John D. M. Hamilton-Lan-
don organizer-professed no concern,
it was clear that other leaders were
considering all the possibilities.
Should Borah or those closely asso-
ciated with him undertake to foment
opposition to any other potential presi-
Dental nominee before the Cleveland
meeting opens June 8, it was agreed,
the situation might have to be re-
surveyed accordingly.
The Idahoan still declined to dis
cuss his plans other than to indicate
he would speak out in national
broadcast May %. But it developed
that Carl G. Bachmann. chairman Of
the Borah-for- President Committee,
was assembling data to oppose Lam
don's nomination If Borah does not
do so.
Borah said several weeks ago that
he had not and would not "join a
combination to stop any one"
IF Mr.. Landon or Mr.. Knox come
up to the convention with fair ex-
preston Of the people that he is their
choice" he added. I'm not going to
stand in the way"
Following this weeks Ohio primary
reverse, he lashed out against the
party leadership. Unless plans he
attributed to present leaders are
thwarted, he indicated his part in
the campaign could not be taken for
granted.
The possibility Of deadlock
threatening at Cleveland has not been
dismissed. Senators Vandenberg OF
Michigan and Steiwer of Oregon figure
prominently among those discussed
as potential compromise nominees.
Bachmann told friends his speech,
If made. would be as a delegate to
the convention from West Virginia.
Another of the Borah leaders, Rep
resentative Fish of New York. has
directly attacked the Landon-for-
President movement before.

an open row and partly because they
believed the stock of the P. w. A. was
going steadily up with the members Of
Congress and the public, while the
stock of w. p A. was going steadily
down.
Another circumstance which helped
to give support to the report of an
impending break was the abruptness
with which the President came to the
front for Ickes after House leaders. who
had been in constant touch with the
White House, had drafted bill that
would shut Ickes out completely
Administration leaders could explain
the reversal of the Presidents atti-

President when it comes to voting in
the national convention. No word
has come from Texas yet as to what
| its delegation to the convention will
do. The Republican State conven-
ton there is yet to be held.
These four States-New York,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Texas
have a total of 209 delegates in the
national convention. II they banded
together their effect would be con-
siderable.

gates from Ohio, Indiana and Cali

structed-except that Robert A. Taft
is the "favorite son candidate Of
Ohio and will receive the delegations
vote on the first ballot, at least.
Michigan is expected to put Senator
Vandenberg in nomination for Presi-
dent and to vote for him. and Iowa
will do as much for Dickinson. The
five States have 1873 votes in the con-
vention.
In Ohio, however, a majority Of the
delegates are ready to 60 right away
to Landon, despite the fact that Clar-
ence Brown, Knox manager and a
delegate at large, insists Knox will
have a majority of these delegates.
Dickinson cannot hold his delegation
beyond the first ballot, it is said, and
the preponderence of the delegation
is for Landon. The Indiana delega-
ton will finally be picked at the State
convention on June 8. Landon senti-
ment In Indiana has been strongly in
evidence.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 16.-Did
last Tuesdays primary results point
to a Democratic or Republican victory
in Ohio in November?
Both Republican and Democratic
political leaders and successful candi-
dates were busy tonight analyzing the
unofficial vote
On the basis Of the unofficial re-
turns, estimates Of the total vote cast
were about equal for the Democrats
and Republicans, little short Of 600,-
900 for each party. Two years ago,
the Republicans polled approximately
20, 900 more votes than the Democrats
In the primary.
Ohio election officials estimated the
vote would total between 1888, 900 and
1,196,000 In 1884 It was l 1894, ,619 and
in the presidential PRIMARY four years
ago. 1922 $50.
These unofficial returns and esti-
mates of the total vote indicate that
President Roosevelt received approx
mately IS per cent of the total Demo-
cratic vote and approximately 95 per
cent Of the total Democratic vote cast
in the preferential contest between
him and Col. Henry Breckenridge of
New York.
Gov. Martin L. Davey, with an un-
official primary vote of approximately
$4,000, held a lead of 100000 over
the combined vote of his two op-
ponents. Representative Stephen M
Young and Charles H. Hubbell.
The Governors vote, however, was
only approximately so per cent of the
total Democratic vote cast for Cover
nor and only 81 per cent of the total
Democratic vote.

date running unopposed, received an

market, where Peter is purchased,

Peter shows his disgust for the girl,

to escape. Their chance comes when
Spaniards lombard the port.
Peter and his fellows slip out
under the cover of the cannonading
and capture one of the Spanish
ships as it rides at anchor in the

concert last night dressed down.
Sub-zero weather brought out fur
coats instead Of light velvet eve
ming wraps, long -sleeved dinner

Comfort, not effect, was con-
sidered first by milady as she pre-

circled her throat above the I'M
trimmed neckline of the dress.
Wore Unusual Hat
Miss Josephine Maddens evening
hat was one of the most unusual.
The tiny pancake shape model was
masSed on top with rows of green
and orange artificial flowers. The
bright colors were a decided addi-
ton to her otherwise black en-
Semble.
The black lace which formed a
double collar around the neckline
of Mrs. Frederic NJ. Ayres' black
gown was joined by turquoise blue
velvet strands, held together by a
glittering ornament.
Mrs. Anton Vonnegut, sitting next
to the Ayres, wore long-sleeved
vintage blue crepe gown with a
cowl draped neckline, clipped with
rhinestone ornaments.
Mrs. w. Richardson Sinclair took
her young daughter, Letitia Sinclair,
as charming in her long-skirted eve
ming frock as in the tailored riding
habits she wears so often on the
bridal path.
Coat Trimmed With Fox
A silver fox scarf coiled about
the neck of Mrs. Sylvester Johnson's
