The Kansas delegation to the Dem- cmatic national convention at Balti more, is not for Champ Clark. It is iur Gov. Woodrow Wilson. Such la tin- claim made in a formal state ment, Issued from the headquarters of the New Jersey executive in Wash ington. The statement of the Wilson Tampaign managers says: "Advices received from Kansas make It certain that 14 and probably 15 of the 2o delegates to the Balti more convention favor the nomina tion of Governor Wilson for the pres idency.
