SMITH AND HOOVER LEAD IN OREGON.
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) NEW YORK, May 19.

It is predicted that he will gain the support of Oregon’s ten Democratic delegates at the National Convention. Mr Smith had a two to one majority over Senator Walsh, the size of the latter’s vote being a surprise, owing to his previous announcement of withdrawal. Senator Reed was third, and the Rev Alonzo Workman, of Missouri. fourth, with a scattered vote. Mr H. C. Hoover, Secretary of State, was unopposed for thirteen delegates on the Republican side.—Australian Press Association.
