■CURK STRENGTH IMPRESSES GJ. DELEGATION J They See Evidence Everywhere That Missourian Leads—Arc J Still Loyal to Oscar. By JAMES B. NEVIN. BALTIMORE. June 24.—The Geor gia delegation, on the scene of the con vention, has -been impressed by the strength which Champ Clark is show ing among the rank and file of the hundreds of delegates around the ho tels. While the delegation is bound to vote as a unit for Oscar Underwood as long as his name is before the con vention. the Georgians were convinced that present indications favor the Mis sourian. They have been shown the enthusiasm with which Clark supporters are work ing in the convention city, and have gained a new idea of the strength of the present speaker of the house. Georgia Delegation Arrives 2 Hours Late. The Georgia delegation arrived in Baltimore two hours late this morning ’but happy. Immediately upon arrival the delegation was called to meet at the Belvedere hotel, where Hon. James Flynt, of Spalding, one of the dele gates, presented a handsome silver lov ing cup to National Committeeman Clark Howell. Mr. Howell responded in a speech of deep appreciation. The Georgia delegation is to be seat ed in the convention hall near the mid dle right between New York and West Virginia. Tom Felder Is here, but Tom Watson is not. Randolph Anderson, the ta.ll states man from Savannah who engineered the steam roller at the Atlanta conven tion. has been chosen to second the nomination of Underwood, and if this addi'ss is made as scheduled it will undoubtedly be a gem. for Mr. Ander son. a great-grandson of Thomas Jef ferson, Is an orator excelled by few of the high lights of the party. .Congress' man Brantley will be given the Geor gia seat on the platform committee, while Crawford Wheatley will be the Georgian to share in the pleasure of notifying the successful candidate of .his nomination. The place on the cre dentials committee has not yet been decided among the members of the t delegation. Watson’s Absence Disappoints Some. Thomas B. Felder, who did not make the trip with the delegation but came round by Chicago, arrived from Wash ington this afternoon. Thomas E. Watson is not on the field. The absence of Watson has been the source of disappointment to loca' newspaper men and correspondent«, who had looked for good “copy" from the insurgent sage of McDuffie. It had been expected that Watson would at tempt to register some sort of protest against having the opening convention prayer delivered by Cardinal Gibbons, and many members of the delegation feel relieved that possible embarrass ment has been avoided. The selection of Captain Will Bank head, of Jasper, Ala., and Fort Mc- Pherson, Ga., a son of Senator John H. Bankhead, to present the name of Un • • derwood to the convention, is said to have stirred up some friction. It is said that the senator, who was Under wood’s campaign manager, claimed the honor for his son. despite Underwood's own desire that Representative Heflin of Governor O'Neal nominate him. The Georgia delegation to the Democratic national convention, aft er a trip marked by the. near arrest of James R. Gray, news paper publisher of Atlanta, Ga., as Tom Felder, arrived In the Monumental City today ready to take a big part in the great gathering and enthusiastic in be half of Oscar Underwood. Just why Editor Gray wfas picked out for the Atlantan whom Governor Blease, of South Carolina, wants to see so badly is a mystery, unless it be that as a Wilsonite he Was so conspicu ous among the Underwood boomers.

The sheriff was finally convinced and then pounced upon Clayton Robson, of Milledgeville, as the next nearest of description. He was arguing the mat ter with Robson when the train pulled out and he jumped off.

Mr. Hudson has no knowl edge of this matter, but his friends on the delegation think his election to the delegation would be a graceful enmpli ! ment to him. ’ The delegation has authority to fill I any vacancies or it may cast its vote as though all were present. Notwithstanding possible absentees, 1 Mr. Hudson likely will be elected be fore the delegation transacts any other r business at its first meeting in Balti ■ more today. I The gift of the delegation to Mr. How ell is,in recognition of his long years of Service In the party and as a token of personal and political friendship upon the part of every member. The cup is engraved with the name of every dele gate to the convention, all of whom participated in the subscription to pur chase it. Besides the names of the the cup bears the following inscrip tion: "Presented to Hon Clark Howell, senior member of the Democratic na tional committee, by the Georgia dele gation to the Democratic convention.

The parade will wind up at J, the convention hall a short time before , the convention is called to order. , The parade will form in four dlvi • sions.

Kelso, of Kansas City, is in charge of plans for the parade. "If Champ Clark, of Missouri, gains much on the second ballot, he will be nominated,” declared Thomas Little, a Maryland delegate .today. “We are all waiting to see what New York will do. If New York goes for Clark he is nomi nated. Maryland, under the unit rule, will cast the first ballot for Clark. There are some Wilson men on our delegation and it is hard to say what they will do after the first ballot.” The Clark forces now in Baltimore outnumber the boosters for any other candidate now here whose name will go before the Democratic national con vention.
