ROOSEVELT GOING TO CHICAGO Ex-President’s Managers Expect Him by Middle Or the Latter Part of This Week ROUGH RIDERS PfiEPARlNG FOR ESCORT DUTY A Troop of 200 Organized by Major Chinnin—National Com- mittee to Resume Hearing of Contests Today—All De- cided in Taft’s Favor Thus Far—Some of Committee- men Cut Up by Roosevelt’s Denunciation of Them. Chicago, June 9.—The republican na- tional committee will resume tomor- rcw its consideration of the large number of contests for places on the mporatry roll of the republican na- tional convention which is to convene in the Coliseum at noon on Tuesday of next week. Upon the result of its de- iberations depends to a great extent the control of the convention and therefore the nominations which it will make for the offices of president vice president of the United State: to say nothing of the lesser matters ¢! the organization of the convention and the text of the platform. 72 Delegates for Taft Thus Far. The contests in Alabama Fiorida and Georgia, which were cided last week, added a total of delegates to the strength credited to Taft. Whether it foretold a “steam roller” policy of “giving the whole bus- iness to Taft” as the Roosevelt ad herents now claim, or whether the cou- tests still to be decided will give some to Taft and some to Roosevelt, i3 a matter of much speculation. Inddana Contests Likely Today. 1t seemed likely tonight that the Indiana contests, involving tweive del- egates—four at large and two each in tte First, Third, Fourth and Thirteentn congressional districts—would be tak- er. up first when the committee meets, but the cases from Arizona (six dele- de- 72 2 gates at large) and from the Fourth | with his managers.

Mmembers A majority of the of the republican national eommitiee, after a lengthy conference day unofficially decided to refrain om any comment upon the statement mued 135t night by Col. Theodora Roosevelt, in which the former presi- dent denounced the mction of the cor wittee in seating the two Taft dele- ates from the Ninth Alabama dis- et, Today’s impromptu meeting of the rational committee members was held w#l a downtown hotel and was attended exclusively by those committeemen vho generally are accepted as being tavorable to President Taft's candida- for renomination. Certain of the committeemen who zltended the meéeting expressed grea indignation ar the text of Colonel Poosevelt's statement, which, they dc- elared, was deserving of an emphatie reply. Others’ however, counselled @gainst & reply of any kind, and urged e,(_ fellow committee members to pnore the siatement. This advice finally prevailed. Searcely any of the Taft members of the commitice would discuss today's wmeeting. One, however. said: “We are going to stand on our ac~ tions, regardless of the remarks of per- sons who are prejudiced and unfair. The work speaks for itself and that iz all there is to it. There is but one way to handle unreasonable people and that is to ignore them. Despite the fact that it was Sunday and a number of leaders were out of town, the campaign headquarters of both Taft and Roosevelt men were busy most of the day and late tonight, After n meoting of & group of Roose. veit managers it weas unoficlully an- nounced that Colonel Roosevelt would arrive in Chicago either by the middle or latter part of the ‘week, but they Geclined to name the exact day, Walter ¥, Brown of Toledo, chalrs ran of the republican mtals central committee in Ohln, 4nd n Rooseveli Icader, departed from Chlesgo for (ke eant today, and 1y war reporied (hai he had gone (0 Oveter Ray o confer wiih Celone.
