Coolidge-Davis Managers Dispute Idea Lafollette Strength In West Candidate Silent But Hopeful (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) in this group. The states listed as virtually "in" were Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin.

Those classified as "probable." Lafollette states wc-re California, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio and Wyoming and probably all west of the Mississippi and admitted progressive strong-' holds. Should the hopes of Lafollette's managers be realized, even to the extent of only carrying the nine states with 71 votes, impartial political observers predicted that the election of a President probably would be thrown into congress, admitedly one of the chief aims of the Wisconsin. Without these states, it was predicted that neither President Coolidge nor John W. Davis could poll enough votes to win. Coolidge and Davis managers here vigorously disputed the claims of Lafollette's strength in the west, saying he would be lucky to capture five of the nine states listed as "certain." They conceded Lafollette but little chance to carry any state east of the Mississippi.

Hopes of the Lafollette camp were heightened by reports brought in members of the national committee of the conference for progressive political action which meets here tomorrow and Saturday to select a vice-, presidential running mate and formally launch drives for funds to finance the independent campaign. Lafollette himself was said not to share himself all the unbounded optimism of the workers who crowded his office today. Lafollette has remained absolutely silent on any election predictions, byt it was learned that he now feels, with his candidacy only two weeks old, that his campaign will draw far more support that Republican and Democratic leaders believe At any rate is going into the campaign to win the three cornered race for the White House.
