All of the big states have se

of the smaller states arc yet to
expresi their choices and the pr;-
convention campaign to virtually

Nine candidates have been gfv-
en standing in the republican and
democratic coventhms by the nam
ing of. delegates pledged to them.
Former Governor Frank O. Low-
din is close oa Hoover’s heels
with 197 delegates, but none of ths
othfr candidates is\near ths two
leaders. Smith's greatest compet
itor is former Senator Atieo Pom-
crcne of Ohio, who has his home
stats delegation of 48, but most
of his d..' gates arc expected to

Senator George of Geor
gia, who has the support
of his state’s delegation
for the democratic presi

mapped out Saturday by
Georgia members of the
house of representatives.
They decided to bring George’s
qualifications forcibly to the aU
tention of convention dclogat*. j out
to coi.fino their efforts in this re
spect, chiefly to southern states.
Among* tho States where It was
indicated activity would bo noiu.e-
ablo in Senator George’s behalf ;.ro

Although there was no definite
evidence that tho move had us one

havo been indicatons that some
of tho .Sew York governor’s poli

Villmore said It would be found
at Houston that 511 of the 1,100
