NEW HAMPSHIRE GETS BEHIND GENERAL WOOD

Manchester, *N. H., March 9.—The native state of Major General Leonard Wood will send to Chicago a republican delegation pledged to vote for him so long as he is a candidate for the presidency. At today's primaries the Wood-pledged ticket for delegates at large defeated by a big majority an unpledged group of four and a fifth canmdate pledged for Senator Hiram Johnson. The unpledged men won in only one city, Dover, the home of Fred, N. Beckwith, one of the unpledged group. The Wood men won easily in the first congressional district and were unopposed in the second district. The democrat* elected three district delegates pledged for Herbert Hoover, one in the fifth district and two in the second. The other democratic delegates elected were unpledged but are generally considered favorable for Hoover.
