Out Situation Burton and Cox to
Confer May Clarify Matters.

the Republican state convention but
two days off, the gubernatorial sit

est, developments indicate that tho

teen taken.
The campaign of former Secretary
, "f the Tntprior Garfield has so muss
ad up things that even the machine
loliticians are bewildered. United
States Senator Burton and George
B. Cor, the "big boss" of Ohio pol
itics, will be on hand tomorrow to
eonfor. If the conference clarifies
things, threo organization candidates,
Warren Harding, C. A. Thompson
and Judge Orrin Brown, the Cox
protege, will race until the balloting
anyway. It is generally believed,
however, that Harding's chances are
best. Ho was formorly lieutenant
