Short to Expect to Get In structed Delegations from That Sectidn. ' " TTnlted Press leased Wirt.) ,, Boston. Mass., April . The fight be tween the Taft, supporters and the op position for delegates to tbe Republican national convention is on In earnest throughout New England. Every inch f ground Is being bitterly contested. , irlnif the past few weeks tbe Taft it, 'nacprs have undoubtedly been mak ing gains, but the time remaining - Is now too short for them to hope or ex pect Taft instructions In any of the New England states. Tbe apportionment of delegates from the six New England states to the Re- Dubllcan national convention at Chi cago Is as follows: Massachusetts, 82; Connecticut. 14; Maine, 12: Vermont, 8: New Hampshire, 8; Rhode Island. . Total, kj. Republicans tof Rhode Island have al read decii gation to Chicago. The Massachusetts state convention will be held in . this city day after tomorrow. The state conventions in Blaine and Vermont will meet at the end of this month, and New Hampshire and Connecticut will hold their conventions a week later. - Various Estimates. An unbiased canvass of tbe situation leads to the conclusion that xart senti ment in New England Is probably strongest in Connecticut ana Maine. Massachusetts appears to be about evenly divided between Taft and the op- The delegates at large from Massa chusetts to the Chicago convention will be Senators Lodge and crane, ex-oov- ernor. John l. Bates ana eitner ex-wen ator of the Navy John D. Long or Bid ney O. Blarney of Attleboro. In Maine the Taft sentiment has been steadily gaining. A few weeks ago there appeared not the slightest chance that the state might Instruct for Taft, or for anyone else. But since that time the Taft boom has assumed large pro portions. Senator Frye. who is presi dent pro tern of the senate, and aT man ly held , their state convention and I of consequence in New England politics, ded to send an uninstructed dele-1 has declared his adherence to the Andl- posltlon, presumaoiy Governor Hugnes. Various estimates are made as to the division In tbe state. Those friendly to Taft say he will get 27 delegates, and the opposition wui get me otner live. Another estimate elves Taft 20 . and Hughes 12. However reliable these es timates may: be. It seems pretty certain that the state convention here this week will decide on an uninstructed deleaa tion. Tne xart men unoouDteaiy win fight for Instructions, the opposition will oppose 'them, and -there may be a compromise under Which Secretary Taft will be f mentioned in a complimentary way. $1 1 Weffi WIL.L, DO Diamonds, Watches Jewelry and Silverware SOLD ON EASY PAYMENTS And You Wear the Goods While paying for Them LVZaY AHTICLE THAT LEAVES OUR STORE GUARANTEED Vo S:!I fcr Less ll:zn Ocrs Ask When You Pay Them Cash tandard Jewelry Store I!)
