TOWNSEND NOT OUT IN FRONT, SAYS GREENLEE Administration Forces Predict Nomination on First Ballot. Checking results of delegate contests in Tuesday’s primary, irlanagers of the campaign of Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend for the Democratic nomination for Governor, today predicted a victory for him on the first convention ballot. They claimed approximately 1200 delegates, with only 923 required for nomination in the June 16 convention. But the other two candidates, E. Kirk McKinney and Pleas E. Greenlpe, scoffed at the Townsend estimates. "They are claiming a lot of my people who can’t say anything now,” Mr. Greenlee said, "but I'll be at the convention with the delegates. There's no use in making claims now.’’ McKinney to Rest Mr. Greenlee's reference to “tnv people who can't say anything” was interpreted to mean persons in the state administration employ, who feel constrained to keep silent because of their jobs. Mr. Greenlee said that Mr. McKinnpy ‘‘took them” (meaning the Townsend forces) in St. Joseph and Allen counties, and ga’'e them a setback in Lake and Tippecanoe counties. Leonard B. Marshall, president of the McKinney for Governor Club, said: "I notice that Frank McHale, who now seemingly is Mr. Townsend's campaign manager, claims 1200 delegate votes for Mr. Townsend. If he is counting votes as I notice he is doing in the Seventh District, in Fort Wayne, and in quite a few other localities, his candidate is badly beaten. ‘ Every one knows that complete returns are not in yet from many of the larger communities, but from the reports that we are receiving from our men in the various counties, we are more than encouraged in the results of the primary Tuesday for Mr. McKinney. “It looks as if McKinney made a clean sweep in Marion County, and ; practically a clean sweep in St. Joe, j Allen and more than half i.- Lake, j Vigo and other large counties. In I many of the smaller counties heard from, Mr. McKinney has one-half of those delegates elected with the balance of the other half divided between his opponents. The report of campaign managers will not nominate a Governor. The convention will do that.” Conflicting claims to delegate strength in all of the large counties, except Marion, were issued by ; the three rival camps. It generally is conceded that sue- ; cess of the Marion County organization in all contests except the; race for sheriff me t ns that most I of the Marion delegation of 231 will j be for Mr. McKinney. Mr. Greenlee is likely to get a few. The. Townsend forces made no effort in the Marion County field. The Twentieth Ward, home of E. Kirk McKinney, will send eight delegates to the state convention to vote for Mr. McKinney. Slack Amen; Delegate* Pleas Greenlee, former patronage secretary to Gov. McNutt, battled to obtain an uninstructed slate, said to be favorable to him. to break the McKinney strength. Unofficial returns showed that the highest vote cast for the unin- j structed delegation was 754. accord- j ing to McKinney headquarters. The eight delegates, said to be j named from the ward, are L. Ert Slack, Evans Woollen Jr., James E. Deery, Leroy J. Keach, John W. j Murphy, George W. Beaman, Thomas A. Lenahan, Ada Crider. Mr. Slack, former Mayor, got the highest vote of the delegates—l 474. The McKinney-Townsenri Maims were particularly divergent on Allen County. Followers of the Lieutenant Governor claim 44 of the 69 delegates and McKinney forces claim 55. Lake County Split Claimed Townsend forces say the big Lake County delegation will split between their man and Mr. McKinney, but Mr. Greenlee claims 43 there, with 17 yet unreported in Gary. A check in the Seventh District, home of Gov. McNutt and also of Paul P. Fry. state excise administrator. indicates 132 delegates for Lieut. Gov. Townsend, 38 for Mr. Greenlee and five for Mr. McKinney, according to Townsend spokesmen. They also claim 121 of the 156 delegates in the Second. Edward Doran, McKinney lieutenant, was reported to have wrested control of the St. Joseph County organization from Rudolph Ackerman, South Bend "boss” and state administration leader, but Townsend forces were claiming a good-sized block of the 70 St, Joseph delegates.

COUGHLIN-OARP STRENGTH SEEN AS IMPORTANT Combined Vote in County May Reach 10,000, Poll Indicates. • Election strength of the Townsend Plan Clubs and National Union for Social Justice was believed today to be greater than indicated by yesterday's early primary returns. In the Fifth, Eleventh and Twelfth Indiana congressional districts the two extreme social security groups can play an important part in the November election if they support the same candidate, political strategists said today. In the Fifth District, Richard T. James of Portland, young attorney and state Representative, defeated Benjamin J. Brown, Kokomo, Townsend plan club organizer, by the scant margin of 516 ballots, according to unofficial tabulations. Vote May Reach 10,000 In the Twelfth District (part of Marion County) the Townsend Plan and National Union candidates had polled approximately 3000 ballots in a count of 85 precincts.„ The vote was split between four candidates. The entire Townsend Plan and National Union vote may reach 8000 to 10,000 in the county when all returns are counted. The Twelfth District congressional candidates of the two groups are: Louis Frank Treat and Alexander Belle, Republicans, and Clayton A. Sanders and Louis W. Heagy, Democrats. Five of the incumbent Indiana congressmen were unopposed, and the other six were supported by substantial margins over their opponents for the nomination. Fi' e Men Unopposed William T.

District; Finly H. Gray. Tenth District, and Charles A. Halleck, only Republican member of the Indiana delegation, Second District, were unopposed. Opposed incumbents and the district which they led included Sam Pettengill, Third; James 1. Farley, Fourth; Mrs. Virginia E. Jenckes. the only woman Indiana ever sent to Congress, Sixtn; Arthur Greenwood. Seventh; Eugene B. Crowe, Ninth; William Larrabee. Eleventh, and Louis Ludlow, Twelfth. Desultory voting, caused by lack of a major issue of a presidential preference ballot, gave only a fair indication of strength which the major parties may have in November and produced only two close congressional races. In the First District, Fred Schutz, Gary, led M. Elliott Belshaw, also of Gary, for the Republican congressional nomination by 265 votes. With 160 of 171 precincts reported, Schutz had 4177 votes and Belshaw had 3912. The latter had held an eariier lead. Elliott Victor in Twelfth Because some of the incumbents were unopposed, their congressional votes vere not counted immediately in several counties and there was no definite comparison between the poll of Democrats and Republicans.
