ready taken some advantaige of the1
.situation and reports from Hartford
indicate that sentiment in the or
ganization is divided between Low
den and Senator Harding of Ohio.
In a statement made yesterday in
Chicago and telegraphed here. Con
gressman Gould said:
"I do not believe the impression
which may have been given that an
alleged schism occurred in Gen.
Wood's political family will cost him
any delegates. Our advice is that
those who have been moved to sup
port Gen. Wood will continue to
support him."
Dissension in the Leonard Wood
forces, due unquestionably to the re
tirement of John T. King, as man
ager of the presidential boom, is giv
ing deep concern to Gen. Wood's
supporters, and may retire the gen
eral to second places on the list of G.
O. P. possibilities,'' while up to the
present he has had no difficulty in
holding the lead, says the New York
World, this morning,
trouble in Missouri, trouble
There is trouble In Connecticut,
trouble in Missouri, trouble In Okla
homa though this is due to a fac
tional fight and indications of trou
ble in other states. In addition, it
may be said that in the matter of
getting- delegates the Wood boomers
have made very little progress in
deed since Col. William C. Proctor
succeeded Mr. King as general man
ager. Mr. King Is the National Commit
teeman from Connecticut. He has
the credit of having started the Wood
boom. When lie got out, following
the selection of Col. Proctor, he
faced a terrific fight In his own or
ganization in Connecticut, the opposi
tion to him being led by J. Henry
Roraback, state chairman.
