G. 0. P. TANGLE
THICKENS WITH
7 STATES TO GO
Each Primary Only Adds to
Confusion of Who’s Who
Among Candidates.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, May 6 All but
seven states have held their conven
tions or primaries for the selection
of 831 of th§ total of 984 delegates
to the big caucus at Chicago sched
uled to begin four weeks from next
Tuesday.
Yet almost unparalleled confusion
as to who’s who among the G. O. P.
candidates for the presidential nomi
nation is the dominant feature of the
situation.
Colorado holds its state convention to
day.
Monday Wyoming will follow suit.
On May 18 Pennsylvania will hold a
presidential preference primary and next
day Alabama will have a convention.
Oregon follows with a primary May 21,
then Texas, May 25: West Virginia.
Mar 25. and Vermont, May 26. will wind
op the season, the seven states selecting
the remaining 153 delegates to make up
the total.
But nothing can happen in any of
these states materially to change the
status quo.
From now on the struggle will not be
so much to capture delegates before the
convention meets as to obtain a strong
strategic position in the convention itself.
FOCR STATES HAVE
TWO SETS OF DELEGATES.
A fight over the temporary chairman
ship is in prospect.
Another is expected as a result of the
contest to seat some of the delegations,
two full sets already having been se
lected in Florida, South Carolina,
Georgia and Mississippi, while other dis
putes are in the offing. nota"b!y over the
Louisiana. .Oklahoma, Tennessee and Vir
ginia delegates.
And perhaps there will be others.
But these scrimmages, it .Is believed,
will be mere outpost affairs compared
to the series of battles between candi
dates now maneuvering for position.
Old Guard leaders have intimated that
MaJ Gen. Leonard Wood will not do.
RAT WOOD HASN’T
ELATED THE GAME.
They say he has not played the game.
He refused to stay out of states
claimed by favorite sons and the “regu
lars” Insist that the convention shall be
"regular” if anything.
Senator Boise Penrose, republican
>ad*r. sitting in Philadelphia, has vir
tually given the thumbs down sign on
Senator Hiram Johnson, opposing to the
latter Senator Philander Knox also of
Pennsylvania.
Like the senator from California, Knox
opposed the league of nations, hut be is
a “regular” which Johnson has not been
since he boited the party w!tu Theodore
Roosevelt in 1912.
Johnson, they claim, is a “radical” in
stead of a "regular" and the “regulars”
are afraid
Herbert Hoover, likewise, according to
Senator Penrose, could never be nomi
nated by any republican convention.
Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio ie
said to have eliminated himself by win
ning a bare plurality In his native state
of Ohio and by running Jsst in .the In
diana primaries of TflP&iay f while
Gov. Lowden of Illinois- is still con
sidered in the tunning as a compromise
candidate

porta that he would withdraw from the

ASSAILS CLOSING
OF ERIE STREET
Transfer Man Says Shippers
Will Lose SIOO,OOO a Year.
A sudden decision by the board of pub
lic works to close Erie street against
truck traffic to railroad freight houses In
the center of the city w*ill cost shippers
*IOO.OOO a year, according to a statement
issued today by William G. Krels, presi
dent of the Indianapolis Transfer associa
tion.
“The board's action shows fliat
whether it be under a Bell democratic
administration or a Jewett republican ad
ministration the railroads get what they
want at the expense of the citizens.” said
Mr. Krels. ’
“When New Jersey and Alabama
1 streets were closed three blocks were
left without a gateway that would per
mit hauling of freight by trucks to
freight houses to the north and south
of the tracks.”
DISTANCE INCREASED
BY DETOVRING.
Detours by way of East street and
Virginia avenue entailed added distance
to the movement of 200 tons of freight
each day. according to an actual sur
vey. Mr. Kreis said, the expense amount
-1 nugto SIOO,OOO a year.
“Erie street was opened,” he said, "as
a result of a conference attended by
Mayor Jewett, Corporation Counsel Ash
by. City Engineer I.ingenfelder and rep
resentatives o fthe Chamber of Commerce
and the railroads.
COMPENSATED FOR
CLOSING TWO STREETS.
“Erie street was by no means a com
pensation to truck operators for the loss
of the Alabama and New Jersey street
gateways, but It did save shippers about
575.000, or the $106,000 annual loss caused
by the closing of those streets.
“Now. with Erie street closed, shippers
must haul 200 tons of freight dally over
Virginia avenue, which is highly con
gested as the great artery ,to the south
east, or over Delaware street, which is
I crowded by commission hotlse traffic.”
The transfer association head charged
that the closing of New Jersey street.
Mi 1915 came 3s a result of a confarence
between railroad engineers and city of
ficials. and that a wall was thrown
across the street ata night to prevent
an injunction.
