! CHICAGO, April 22—The future
i course of Senator Hiram Johnson, can
| didate for the republican presidential
i nomination, will be decided upon by
; the senate within the next few days
| after conference with key men in sev
; eral states .
While there is no confirmation of
| the suggestion that the Johnson can
| didacy will be withdrawn, those who
| have been active in the campaign in
the Middle West make no secret of the
; fact that Johnson expects to receive o
| severe blow in the Michigan, Nebras
I ka, and Illinois primaries.
That Senator Johnson staked great
hopes on his chances in Illinois has
long been conceded by his supporters
and his defeat recently, with the Cool
idge victories in Michigan and Nebras
ka, are known to have created a new
situation in the Johnson camp.
Supporters of the senator have ack
nowledged from the first that they
were waging an uphill battle for the
nomination and the recent withdraw
al of considerable financial support
added to the primary results of the
past four weeks, has brought about a
situation calling for decisive action on
the part of the senator.
Concern for the loyal friends and
supporters thruout the country who
have contributed considerable in time
and money to the individual state
fights in behalf of Senator Johnson,
has prompted him to confer with his
key men before finally deciding what
the future of his campaign will be.
