. DELEGATES INSTRUCTED
FOR WILSON HALF OFTOTAI
NAMED IN STATE TNUS EAR
'Jersey Man Huh Many Friends
In Uninstructed List and
Seems Sure Winner
NO “RUMP” CONVENTIONS
i
Believed There Will Not Be
Single Contest For State
Gathering To Decide
The Democratic presidential score
>in Michigan was tied as the result of
Wednesday's conventions In Wayne
and Hillsdale counties. With almost
half the 1,324 delegates already elect
ed. 31G have been instructed for
Woodrow Wilson, und the same num
ber elected without instructions to
the Democratic state convention to be
held In Bay City, May 15.
But the Wllsou men claim the ad
vantage up-to-date by reason of re
ports they have received that there
. are many Wilson votes among the un
instructed delegates from other coun
ties than Wayne. They point to the
fact that while the Livingstone coun
•ty convention did not Instruct its
delegates, it indorsed Wilson's candi
dacy. And In Manistee county,
where the convention did not instruct,
tftacy C. Thompson, a Wilson leader,
' was indorsed for delegate-as-large.
The counties that have instructed
for Wilson are: Alpena, 5 delegates;
Emmett, 6; Hillsdale, 16; Ingham,
46; lonia, 26; Kent, 68; Lenawee, 33;
Macomb. 2S; Oakland, 37; Sanilac, 10,
and Washtenaw, 41. The uninstructed
delegations are from Huron, 10 dele
gates; Genesee. 21; LivingHton, 23;
Manistee, 111; Monroe, 29, and Wayne.
214.
The local Wilson leaders are in
clined to think that more Wilson men
were Included in the Wayne county
delegation to Bay City than was gen
erally realized when the list was
read in Wednesday’s county conven
tion.
“I should judge that possibly one
third of the delegates to the Bay City
convention are Wilson men,” said T.
.1. Anketell, Thursday. “I am con
vinced that more than half of them
are Wilson men at heart. l’p-to-date
the C'lark-irartnon combination has
hot received a single Instructed dele
gation from any county in the state.”
S. W. Beakes, state secretary of the
Woodrow Wilson Democratic league,
•has called attention to the fact that
the campaign thu-. far has produced
no “rump" conventions, lie predicted
That for the first time in years the
Democratic state convention would
.have no contests to decide.
“It will be a case of harmony with
the said Mr. Beakes. laughing, re
ferring to the candidacy of Gov. Har
mon of Ohio. He added that some
people would be disappointed, in not
getting rid of the "y.”
Mr. Beakes said that but for the
appeals of National Committeeman E.
O. Wood, of Flint, and State Chair
man Shields, every’ county that has
held conventions up-to-date, with the
exception of Wayne, would have in
structed tor Wilson. He declared
that the Wilson men would enter the
state convention with a clear major
ity. . -
