TO011 T181DELEGATION IS RECOGNIZED Georgia Negro Wins Fight Before Committee and "Regulars" Are Seated TWENTY-FIVE FOR LOWDEN South Carolina Dispute Keeps Meet ing in Continuous Uproar for Hours Chicago, June 4-(By the Associat ed Press).-Lowden forces counted twenty-five delegates in their column as the result of today's decisions of contests by the Republican national committee. The Wood forces in turn lost an equal number, which would have been counted for them had the pending contests been sustained. All attempts at split decisions were lost. While various committeemen professed to see behind the arguments for party harmony which were advo eated a reflection of personal views as they might be favorable to Gov ernor Lowden and Gen. Wood, the con mittee in repeated roll-calls refused to make compromises, and proceeded to make decisions on the evidence of party regularity in the local and dis trict machinery. Lowden forces started off on a win ning streak by winning the contested in the eight congressional districts of Mississippi. They claim all these dele gates. They won half a vote in the Second Congressional District of Okla homa, where the Wood forces won a half vote also by the seating of Dr. Ujugh Scott, of Holdenville, and Albert Kolly, of Bristol, respectively. Then the Lowden chiefs claimed another addition of support when the commit tee voted to seat the regularly re ported delegates from South Carolina, led by National Committeeman Tol bert. The Tenth district of Tennes see went to the regularly reported delegate, a negro of Memphis, but that was claimed by none of the va rious managers. The spectacular decision of the day was the hard fought and long delayed contest from Georgia where the dele gates headed by Henry Lincoln John son, an Atlanta negro, who, is was tes tified before the Senate committee in vestigating campaign expenditures, received $9,000 for the Lowden cam paign fund, were resisting the attacks of a set of contesting delegates, ad mittedly organized by Frank H. Hitch cock and counted for the candidacy of Gen. Wood. Before the committee adjourned to continue in a night session Johnson's big four-the delegates at large-had been seated, on the ground of organ-i ization regularity in their convention proceedings, and the First and Sec ond Georgia congressional districts also had been voted the same way. The evidence in the six districts re maining in contest was said to be much of the same nature. South Carolina and Georgia contests brought the race issue and the color, line in the deliberations of the com nmittee despite all efforts to keep them out. The contest over the Tolbert delegates from South Carolina brought up the much discussion question of whether the Republican party in the Southern States would do0 better wvith out association with the negro. 'The contesting delegates in the South Car' olmna case stirredl up, a row, in which the lie was frequently passed charges of "machine rule'' to perpeCtuate "an office-hoilers trust" andl furither charges that cond(1itions were' such that the Republican vote had been redluced by the alleged methodIs to a miinimum were made.
