leaders to town together with the j

most powerful. Senator Penrose, will j
not be here at all. What effects his j
absence will have upon the situation
is a speculation of importance. Few
bosses can turn over to others un- I

themselves.
* This is particularly true of a
boss of the hard-handed Penrose j
type. 'Mis proxy descends to Gov. j
Sproul, but whether either his purposes
or the power to give them

only "the outcome will
how. The illness of the Pennsyl- j
vania Senator is of a character
that precludes possibility of his
being consulted during the convention,
and as a result those who ,
thought themselves able to predl- j
cate the action of the Pennsylvania |
delegation under his control are j
compelled to confess themselve# :
ignorant of what it may do with- ^
out him.
By the action of the national com- ,
mittee in the contests Gov. Lowden
advances to second place in list of
instructed delegates, with Johnson
third. But there was never a more
doubtful political asset than some
of the so-called Johnson delegations.
In Michigan, for example, where he
claims the whole delegation, there j
is but one delegate certain to stick
to him to the bitter end. In Ohio ;
many delegates who declared for
him as second choice now frankly j
admit their lack of intent to support
him on any ballot. The John- j
son boomers have reached the
stage at which they are talking of
a stampede as the only method of ;
putting over their candidate, but in
any Republican convention this is
a desperate hope.
Senator Miles Poindexter. of |
Washington, arrived today, and his
boom as second choice candidate assumed
some prominence. He has
his own State and Idafl? back of him ;
at the start, with some straggling j
strength in other sections. But his 1
main hope must lie in his complete j
freedom from either alliances or an- 1
tagonisms that would make centering
upon liim difficult in the event I
of a general breakup. He is popu- j
lar in the Senate and among the J
Senatorial advocates of other candidates.

Papers at Odds Over Order
To Punish 'Front League'

MW?blfi|lon Herald-Public l.rdsrr

Berlin, June 5.?Announcement of j
an executive order imposing a flveyear
term in prison on officers and
soldiers conspiring to resist the dissolution
of the volunteer organira- j
tion, and upon individuals attempt- j
ing to recruit for unauthoriied mill- I
tary detachments, was received with '
dissatisfaction by the conservative I
newspapers, but with jubilation by ;
the Liberal and government Social- I
ist organs.
The order is directed against the j
"Front League." now being formpd j
ostensibly to protect the economic!
interests of former soldiers, but act- j
ually to arm monarchist soldiers in i
as great number as possible against
the existing government and the republic.
The tone of the Conservative organs
gives all needed confirmation
to this original assumption of the
purposes of the league. The Conservative
journal, Lokal Anzeiger,
In fact, refers frankly to the efforts
to "assemble discharged soldiers
Ind those about to tve discharged
Into new formations to arrange for
a. monarchist uprising."
Trials for such officers, combining
charges of mutiny and treason, will
not be entrusted to the regular military
courts, owing to suspicion that
many officers are lukewarm In a desire
to punish them, but to special |
summary courts in which civil !
judges form the majority and from j
which no appeal will be permitted, j

ChKago. June 5.?Herbert Hoover ! '
will be formally presented to the

the party's candidate for the Presi- >

As foreshadowed in my dispatch J t
of last night, Mr. Hoover will bell
j offered to the convention by the j a

j nomination by Judge Nathan a

Mr. Hoover and intended voting for j
!him in the convention.

i It is planned now not to have any ^
'formal nominating speech made fn ,
Mr. Hoover s behalf, but merely to,
have his name submitted to the J
! convention in the briefest possible *

;lt is definitely understood, however. j1
if a nominating speech is deemed j
advisable, Judge Miller will make It. j,
Hoover talk, already following Ir
| the crescendo stream, was stimulat-jt
ed by a statement which I know to J
be well substantiated, that a U. S. '
Senator from an important Southwestern
state is prepared to second ( 1
the nomination of Mr. Hoover.
Judge Miller is one of the foremost
Republicans of New York. He!
is a Svracuse lawyer of statewide j
eminence and has been urged by
his friends to accept the gubernatorial
nomination this year. At
what exact moment he will offer,
Mr. Hoover to the convention is
not yet determined. It does not
seem likely it will be until after
New York's vote has been east more
or less in its entirety for Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler.
