ISITJ.U1IJ1 OR JUDGE ALLEN ? lusQe Alterf Mis Majority of Instructed Delegates 196 Delegates, How . ever, Uninstructed. Keen Interest Is still manifest here in the Manning-Allen fight for nomi nation for place on the Supreme court bench, which will be settled when the democratic state conven tion i meets In Charlotte next week.
