'ANSAS CITY,. June I I. The roaring wheels of
ZXlm'
three special trains bearing, westward renn
j sylvania's crucial delegation of 79, awakened
Apolitical reverberations of increasing intensity
today amid the bedlam and ballyhoo of last
minute preparations for tomorrow's , opening
session of the republican national convention.
The feverish busy coalition that is trying to
puncture the high riding Hoover boom took
renewed hope from the news that Secretary
Mellon and his fellow delegates of the Keystone
state had refused to express themselves enroute and might even'
remain neutral for a considerable time after their their arrival
here late this afternoon. The Hoover managers professed to
know in advance that the decision Would be favorable to Hoov
er, but the allies refused to believe it. ,
City Noisy and coiortui
- Many delegations from otber
states preceded the Mellon rail'
tray cavalcade Into Kansas City,
Mid the streets and hotel gather
ing places of convention 1 visitors
look on in constantly IncreiiBinK
measure the topsy-turvy ' charac
teristics that always accompany
Ihe four-year national bubble of a
great political imrty. From early
morning the downtown convention
section of the city was alive with
a confitsslon of noise and color. , ,
The weather alone was out of
harmony with the usual convert-,
tion picture, for tho sweltering
sunshine that proverbially en
wraps convention cities was con
spicuously absent and unlamented.
A cool breeze played with the red,
white and hue street decorations
under an overcast sky threatening
of rain.
' ; Hoover Men. Confident .
In ths dioover camp there was
a new note of confidence as the
Pennsylvania specials sped went
ward. Tho word was passed about
quietly tiint all was well; that ad
vices of sufficient authenticity had
preceded Mr, Mellon to Kansas
City, and that the fight for Hoov
er was definitely won. Among
many Of the Hooverites there ap
peared a complete belief that Mel
lon in some way had become com
mitted to Hoover a report which
the Lowden-Curtis - Watson - Goff
coalition steadfastly refused to ac
cept. it also was whispered in the
Hoover ranks that the activities otmi2, making their home at Hood
ine past J4 iiouis had netted
enougu gains in outer quarters to
make Pennsylvania's support no
longer absolutely essential to
