CROMER YIELDS ] TO HAWKINS (Continued from page 1.) convention Is deadlocked and that it is the greatest session of the kind ever held in the state. Though others may have cast more ballots, none ever worked harder or more faithful for a compromise that would end the fight. Various rumors are heard but although it is claimed that every prominent republican in the district has been mentioned, no “dark horse" can be agreed upon. At 12:30 this morning the convention was forced to move from the Grand opera to permit the stage managers of the “Madam Butterfly" opera company to take possession. The convention moved to the Bijou theater and it was rumored during the change that the wily George had “fixed" things for himself but the first ballot and the next and the rest them showed no such facts. It was reported that William T. Durbin* of Anderson, former governor of Indiana, was being gromed as a "dark horse,” but there was nothing tangible

to prove that the delegates were entertaining a proposition to swing in line for him. The names of District Chairman Newcomer and of Chairman Frysinger, together with that of Judge John W. Macy, of Winchester, were frequently discussed by the crowd as possibilities. John M. Frysinger, of Decatur, the permanent chairman, was r relieved once or twice by District Chairman G. V.
