State's 88 Delegates.
(Copyrlcht. 19-0. by the Sun and New York
Herald. Published by arrangement.)
NEW TOKK. April 1. Sentiment
among- the republicans in New York
state favors the nomination of Major
Ueneral Wood for president, according-
to returns received from the poll
of the organization county chairmen.
Governor Frank O. Lowden or
Illinois is the second choice. Of all
first choice" votes cast Wood re
ceived a trifle more than 83 per cent.
Other "first choices" were cast for
the following: Governor Lowden, 10.7
per cent; Senator Harding, 3.57 per
cent, and Ir. Nicholas Murray Butler,
S.57 per cent.
When it came to declaring- the sec
ond choice of their counties the chair
men returned 52 per cent of their
votes for the Illinois executive.
Harding Apparently Third.
Senator Harding polled 18 per cent
of the "second choice" votes, which in
connection with his "first choices"
would fairly enough entitle him to
be considered third choice of the re
publicans of the Umpire state.
Wood got 12.5 per cent of the sec
ond choices and Senator Poindexter
was named as second in 7 per cent of
the replies received.
The best that Senator Hiram W.
Johnson of California got in the re
turns was a little less than 4 per
cent of the second choices.
New York state will send S3 dele
Rates to the Chicago convention.
They will all be elected at a direct
primary on Tuesday, April 6. The
organization Elate for the "big four"
wis selected at an unofficial state
convention on February 20. It con
sists of United States Senators Wads
worth Jr. and Calder, former Judge
Miller and Colonel Thompson.
The only opposition to this slate ia
on the part of William M. Bennett,
who is running for delegate-at-large
on a Johnson pledge.
I.eaKue Looms as Inane.
The league of nations looms as the
paramount issue in the campaign in
the minds of New York's county lead
ers, with the accompanying thought
of straight Americanism as against
internationalism.
Prohibition, as it obtains under the
18th amendment, stands out promi
nently as an Issue. The incompetency
and extravagance of the Wilson ad
ministration and its opposite a sound,
economic conduct of governmental af
fairs, bulk largely in the New Yorll
mind as things to wage a campaign
on this autumn.
There was a wide diversity of opin
ion expressed in the reports of the
republican leaders as to their opinion
of sentiment among democrats for the
democratic presidential nomination.
William G. McAdoo was mentioned the
most frequently, with Attorney-Gen
eral Palmer a "close-up." Three coun
ty chairmen said the democrats of
their communities wanted Herbert
Hoover. The same number mentioned
President Wilson.
Governor Edwards of New Jersey,
on the "wet" issue; Senator Hitchcock
on the league issue, and former Secre
tary of State Lansing on the "autoc
racy-of-Wilson" issue, each received
one mention.
As to the republican presidential
preference there were hints in some
counties that, while Wood was lead-
ing, sentiment for Lowden was gain
ing because of the demand for a busi
ness man in the White House.
Women Form Claba.
The women's vote does not at pres
rnt favor any candidate to an extent
that would identify him as the worn
en's choice.
Women's Wood clubs are being rap
idly organized in various parts of the
state and are working with great en
thusiasm.
One chairman wrote that while he
had indicated the sentiment in his
county as it existed at present, he
would not care to say that It had
crystallized as yet.
In one county they are for Wood,
because of what he did for prepar
edness In the Plattsburg training
camp. In another opposition to htm is
reported because oj: sentiment against
a military man.

ning Competitive Motor Busses.
NEW YORK. April 1. Trie opera
tion of motor busses under the direc
tion of the city in competition with
trolley lines in Brooklyn was ordered
discontinued today by Judge Cropsey
of the supreme court.
Justice Cropsey held that the opera

ST. LOUIS, April 1. The fate of
Ursula Broderick tonight rests with
12 men. The case of the 16-year-old
girl, charged with first degree mur
der for killing her stepfather, J. F.
Woodlock, who was shot to death
April 14,' last, went to the jury late
tonight.
Judge Klene ordered that a sealed
verdict be returned when after two
hours no word had come from the
jury room, and adjourned court, in
structing the jury to report at 11
o'clock tomorrow.
In his final address to the jury. As
sistant Circuit Attorney William O.
Reeder urged that a conviction be re
turned on the charge, which would
carry with it a sentence of life im
prisonment. The girl took the stand in her own
behalf today and related the inci
dents that led to the shooting, which
she says was done to protect her
honor. The revolver which she used,
she testified, had been bought with
the intention of killing herself on
account of the treatment she received
by her stepfather. The morning the
killing took place, she said, her step
father had carried her from her bed
to his own. The revolver was con
cealed In her nightgown, she con
tinued, and convinced that Woodlock
meant to harm her, she fired the shots
that ended his life.
Four years ago Ursula shot and
killed her father. Thomas B. Brod
erick. She was exonerated by a cor
oner's jury on her testimony that she
acted in defense of her mother.
She asserted that Woodlock re
peatedly threatened her, and on oc
casions, when alone with him, made
advances toward her.
On the morning of the shooting.
April 14, she was asleep when Mood-
lock came to her bedside, she con
tinued.
"He picked me up and half carried
me and half dragged me to his bed,"
she sobbed. "He told me to shut up,
and when I became convinced that he
meant to harm me, I shot him."
Mrs. Lillian Woodlock, mother of
the girl and also under indictment
for her husband's death, asserted that
Woodlock drank heavily, and when
under the influence of intoxicants
made repeated attempts to attack the
girl. When sober, however, she con
tinued, he regretted his actions and
always apologized to Ursula.
On one occasion. Mrs. Woodlock
said, she visited the prosecuting at
torney's office to complain of her
husband's threats against the girl,
but the office was closed.
The state is attempting to prove
that Mrs. Woodlock and the girl
plotted to murder Woodlock.

to
Favorite Son" Idea Declared
Be Out of Place in Campaign
Where Issues Are National.
CLEVELAND, O., April 1. General
Leonard Wood, candidate for the re
publican presidential nomination, de
fended his title as "military candi
date" in an address at a republican
ratiy here tonight. He denounced
the candidacy of a "favorite son" and
upheld a system of compulsory mili
tary education as the "crying need
of the youth of America."
"There is a disposition now to point
the finger of scorn at the uniform,"
the general said. "The man who does
it insults the memory of every dead
American in France. Let us have done
with attacks on the uniform for pure
ly political purposes. The men who
make these attacks are men who.
though they have had ample oppor
tunity to put on the uniform in time
of danger, have always found some
thing else to do."
General Wood declared he had no
patience In dealing with national
questions with the "favorite son" idea.
"It Is a national issue now, not a
state issue," he said. "There has
been little in political propaganda
that is more vicious than the favorite
son Idea."
Many Owners Declared Unable to
Move Into Fireproof Buildings
by Specific Dale.
One year's extension of time may be
given to owners now operating ga
rages in wooden buildings before the
provisions of the code ordering ga
rages into fireproof buildings will be
enforced. A hearing to decide this
point will' be conducted by the city
council Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
in the council chambers.
City Commissioner Bar'bur has in
troduced an ordinance extending the
time from March 17, 1920. to March
17, 1921. This ordinance has not been
acted upon. City Commissioner Bige
low refusing to vote for the ordinance
until garage men who have con
structed fireproof buildings to com
ply with the building code have had
an opportunity of expressing their
views to the city council. He con
tends that it would be a hardship to
them if the ordinance was passed.
Commissioner Barbur believes ga
rages now in wooden buildings should
be allowed to operate for one year, on
the grounds that it is impossible for
the owners to find new locations.
There are 22 garages In wooden
buildings.
Several of the city commissioners
believe that the time should be con
tinued, at least until after convention
week in June.

NEW YORK. April 1. Senator Hi
ram W. Johnson of California in an
address here tonight before leaving
for Michigan to continue his cam
paign for the republican presidential
nomination, discussed the league of
nations, and in doing so referred to
the "latest candidate for the presi
dency." Without mentioning Herbert
Hoover by name, Mr. Johnson said:
ine latest candidate lor the presi
dency a year ago argued for the adop
tion of the league of nations without
the crossing of a t' or the dotting of
an 'i.' I observe now that since he
has become a candidate, he, too, -would
welcome reservations.

supreme court of California dis
missed today the petition of J. A. Bar
lottl of Los Angeles to have a refer
endum on the 18th amendment to the
federal constitution submitted to the
voters' of the state, on the ground
that the act of congress In specifying
that the amendment should be rati

fourths of the states prevented the
state from prescribing a different
ratifying power.
The decision concurs with that of
the supreme court of Maine, but the
