C. C. HURST WAS REASONARLY SITRE OF THE NOMINATION JX)R DISTRICT CHAIRMAN UNTIL A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE CONVENTION CONVENED —MEETING DELAYED SO THAT CLAY COUNTY DELEGATION COULD BE “ WORKED ON.”

MR. McNUTT PLAYED TO FOLEY

Aftor Having Pledged llietnselves to Mr. Hurst Several of the Clay Co. Delegates Gave In to the Pleading of the Prospective Candidate for Congress and Agreed to a Division of the Clay County Vote.

The Fifth Judicial Distriet Democratic Convention-was called to meet at 1 o’clock in the Court House at Terre Haute Thursday afternoon At that time all the delegates were in the court roofn and every one was ready to proceed with the business but th e meeting was not calTad to order. At twenty minuter past 1 o'clock, the retiring chairman, John McNutt arose and made the lame explanation that as one of the Terre Haul* pap^r^had stated that the meeting would not be called un-

til 1:30 o’clock, that it was best to delay fl\£il that time. This was don« notwithstanding that Mr. McNutt’s official call had been for 1 o’clock and that all the delegates were in the court room at 1 o’clock. The reason was that at '-1 o’clock Mr. Foley, the McNutt candidate, was facing defeat. Something had to be done. Clay county had pledged Mr. Hurst a majority of Its vote. During the 30 minutes delay the Clay county delegation was called into a closet session and Ralph Moss, aspiring candidate for Congressional nomination, who had just b c en in session with the Foley forces, persuaded the delegation to split its vote, on the plea that if it did not, the Vigo county leaders would knife hiri^in his race for the nomination. When the delegation left the closet session Mr. Hurst was defeated. Up to that time he had splendid chances for winning the fight. Clay county cast the first ballot in the election and when its spokesman announced nine for Hurst and nine for Foley, the admirers of Mr. Hufst -knew that h c was defeated. The game of the Terre Haute crowd was smooth and well played. With a split in Clay county* and a few straggling votes from the other counties with its thirty-six votes solid th(>y could win. At that Mr. Foley received only a majority of one vote. Hut that was enough.

LAW NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD

Judge Hawley was here from Brazil this morning to hear the petition ' of the Russellville bank. It will he remember e d that at the time the j Board of Commissioners, acting as a County Board of Finance met to designate the depositories of county funds, they rejected the Russellville bank for two reasons. First, the bond did not conform to the statute governing in the case. Second, the bank was so situated that It was not convenient for the treasurer of the county to use it as a depository. The bank appealed from the decision of the commissioners, and the case is being heard today. The
