Chicago, June 18.—Against the threats, charges and bitter Invective of the Roosevelt forces, the Taft sup- porters in the republican pational con- vention today put through the first portion of their programme by elect- ing Senator Klihu Root of New York as temporary chairman. In spite of the fact that Vietor Rosewater, chair- man of the national committee, con. sistently ruled out of order every mo- tion made by the Roosevelt forces, it required more than five hours to reach a vote on the chairmanship. Both Sides Claiming Victory. The calling of the roll was beset with difculties from the very first name on the list of delegates, but in the end, when the tumult had dled away, Senator Root was found to have won Dby a vote of 558 to 502 for Gov. Fran- cis E. MoGovern of Wisconsin, with fourteen scattering votes and four not voting. Tonight both the Taft and Roosevelt forces aTe claiming that this vote indicates that thelr candidate is absolutely sure to win, The advan- tage appears to be with the president, however, for while he 18 sure to lose mome of the votes that were cast for Senator Root, it I8 claimed that he will g2in, If instructions are lived up te, ®ome of the votes indspendently cast for McGovern, 8till Talk of “Dark Horse.” Those leaders who have been urging ® compromise candidate ever since they arrived in Chicago are pointing to anether angle in the fight and claim that they show that it is essential to name 2 so-called “dark horse” to save the day for the republican party. While Mr. Root was made chairman today and managed to deliver his “key_ mote” speech, the fighting is to be re- mewed at 1! o'clock tomorrow when the motion of the Roosevelt leaders to substitute a new list of delegates for these seated in some of the contested cases heard before the national com- mittee is to be taken up as the unfin- ished business. No committees were named tonight and none will be until this motion to “purge” the convention of “fraudulent delegates” is disposed of. Today it was defeated on a point of order, but the Roosevelt forces de- clare that parliamentary practice will Dot be permitted to stand in their way tomorrow. Possibility of Bolt Seems Remote. The Roosevelt people and the Taft people carried out their programmes as announced in advance almost to the Jetter. The Roosevelt people say to- night they are going to fight every inch of the way. ¢ There were cries of “bolters” hurled at the Roosevelt delegates at times during the session, but the contingency of a bolt again tonight seemed to be far distant, Fierce Battle Expected Today. California, under the leadership of Gov, Hiram Johnson, assumed a bel- ligerent attitude with the start of the roll call when two Roosevelt dele- gates from the Fourth district, un- #eated by the national committee, were not allowed to vote. But they confined their protest to eloquence; the two voles for Root were the only encroach- ment in the state ‘ipon the vote cast for McGovern, Later Pennsylvania fell into the breach and made a fierce pro- tesi against the vote of an alternative. There is & prospect, howaver, of an« other even more bitter struggle to- morrow, when, “unfinished busi- ness,” the convention will take, up a motion of Goverror Hadléy of Mis- mouri to =trike from the temporary ol of the convention as prapared by the national committee, the names of ninety-two delegates seated by the mational committes in contested elec- tlon cases, and substitute those of the Reosevalt contestants, Tt was in precisely this effert on the part of the Roosevelt men . that the whole of today's session was spent in struggle. Rulings Announced by Megaphons, The chaplain had hardly finished invocation of .the divine blessing the convention, before Governor ley was on his feet, objecting to the personnel of the convention itselr, | This led to a long and intricate par- | liamentary argument. Chairman Rosewater of the national . committee, upon whose shoulders has fallen the ordinarily perfunctory duty of calling the convention to order and | presenting the recommendations of the Ioommntag for tewmporary officers, of the convention, found himself with an able-bodied job of presiding over what seemed likely to be a turbulent and passionate war of factions. He ‘was not in good voice; but trumpe!-( | voiced clerks with megaphones did all | the necessary announcements, includ- ing the chairman’s initial ruling upon the Hadley objection. Chairman Rosewater’s Ruling. This ruling was to the effect that until the national committee had pre- sented the temporary roll, made up from the credentlals from the tndfvid- unl slates sud districts and 118 Judg meni upon conieats, there was no c vention; ihe gathering was a e ase mesiing: nothing could be done WRlil « peellaiivery organizavion had ‘bepn affacied by fhe sslection of a pre- siding officer, He heid that avsclurely no business was in.order ‘save the vholce of such an officer, He said he b= no demire to be arbltrary i hix ruling and would allow twenty min- mtes to each side to present arguments on ihie subject, The rguments weare presented by overenr Hadley. and ax-Gaverneg Naw Jersey on the Roosevelt a Prophet—Hughes Won’t Ac- side, and by Representative Sereno E. Payne of New York and ex-Represen- tative James E. Watson of Indiana, in behalf of the Taft people, After the arguments were finished, Chairman Rosewater renewed his ruling that nothing was in order but nominations for temporary chairman. He present- ed the national committee’s recommen- dation of Senator Root and asked for further nominations. Roll Call Consumed Three Hours. The Roosevelt men made no further opposition to this rule, and the roll call was begun at 8.5, The name of every individual dele- gate was called and it consumed three hours; yet every step of the proceed- ings was heard with the keenest inter~ est, The Roosevelt men did the best they the name of every one of the delegates ¢oiected to, on the ground that he had been fmproperly seated by the national committee, as set forth in the pide- tracked motion of Governor Hadle; but the roll call went on mercilessly, gometimes amid deafening choruses, The shifting of the vote made a dra- matic sequence of emotions, as ap- plause and cheers grested one vote aft~ er another, With Oregen’s three for Taft and six for MeGovers, the nei lurality for Reot steed at 36, but ’ennsyivania’s 64 for MeGovern threw the Lalanies the other way, and the ad- vaniage remained with MeGevern until Tennesses was reaehied, when the Root advantuge reappesred widh a net plu- rality of 10, Patrick Halloran Cast Deciding Vote. Thenceforward the margin in Root's favor increased, and with the vote of Patrick Halloran in the Washington delegation, cast for Root at 5.53 p. m., amid a storm of cheers from the Taft fotlowers, the total vote for the New York senator reached the necessary 540, and the Taft victory—at least in the matter of the temporary chairman- ship—was assured. Aside from the practical absence of the “rough house” tactics which had been so elaborately prepared for by the heavy police guard, and the extra- ordinary pains of the national com- mittee officers to guard against out- breaks of any kind, there were several remarkable things about the conven- ton. It was desperately serious busi- ness from beginning to end. There ‘were none of the long periods of uproar which lately have become a feature of political conventions. On the contra- ry, there was a marked tenseness and an atmosphere surcharged with watch- fulness. Pennsylvanians Jeered Root. ‘Well known leaders came into the hell unnoticed; there was entire ab- sence of tributes of applause by state delegations to “favorite sons.” The crowd gathered somewhat slowly, and save for the music of the band there w8 nothing but the undertone of con- versation. After Root's election, when he came upen the stand, the welcome to him lasted perhaps thirty seconds. And when he began his speech Penn- sylvanie, showed its bitterness toward Fm with jeers and caustic remarks which went far to discount the cordial- ity of his reception. There Wwas one promise of real trouble, when State Senator Flinn compelled the repetition ot the call of the Pennsylvania dele- | gates, fighting the vote of one of the alternates who, he said,was being call- | od out of proper order. The point was that the man calied and who voted; was the second on the list for Root. whereas the ‘man “firat' on the Hat of alternates from that district would | have voted for McGovern 1 “Tf you steal that vote” shouted Flinn. “there will be no roll called in | this convention toda: i That was 2l there was to it. The| chairman overruled him and the grind- ing voice of Becretary Gleagon went on rolling out the vote, ' Negroes Stood for Taft. ‘With few exceptions the negro dele- gates from the south, about whose| steacfastness there has been so much sf eculation durlng the last few days, S0 fast for the Taft candidate Early in the vote William Barnes, Jr. | with Watson of Indiana, watch-| s the Taft interest on the , said they would have 560 votes.| They got two less than that. | When s ¢ Root began his key- | { not> speech le in great numbers | began to leave the hall.

The Day’s Work Unfinished. | ‘When Senator Root finished, amid !

Personalities and Turbulemee Precede Election of Reot, “Phe Heur of 12 having arrived,” sald Chairman Rosewaler, glancing st a slip of paper, “and 4 quoruia mani- festy being present, the convention will be in order while the Rev, rather Callahan will invoke divine blessing.” The intreduction of the clergyman was greeted with applause. The prag- er was short. Many delegates murmured the Lerd's Prayer with Father Callahan, As Father Callahan concluded, Chairman Rosewater pounded the table with his big gavel, and announeed: “The secretary of the republican national committee will read the call of this convention.” Secretary Hayward read the call. Hadley Rises for Information. The moment the call was completed Governor Hadley of Missouri, the Roosevelt flogr leader, was on his feer. “Mr. Chairman,” he called out. “The chalr recognizes Governor Hadley of Missouri,” sald Chalrman Rosewater, . “Mr. Chairman, I rise to a question of information,” ®aid Hadley. The governor was beckoned to the stage and made his way there amid applause. James E. Watson of Indiana, Taft floor leader, followed him. In the meantime William Barnes, Jr., of New York, was on his feet. “I make a point of order!” he shout- ed, but was not recognized. Watson Raises Point of Order, Governor Hadley then stated his question, which involved the substi- tution of a roll of delegates prepared by the Roosevelt forces for the tem- porary roll prepared by the national committee. “I rise to inquire whether the na- tional committee has framed for this conventiop a proper temperary roll,” said Hadley. James E. Watson, Taft floor leader, interrupted, saving: “Mr. Chairman, I make the point of order that nothing i€ in order before this o ention until it haz been or- ganized.” Both Hadley and Watson wera cheered, as they stood on each side of !h; chairman’s - table, « faeing each other. "T rose to a question of information," anawered Governor Hadley, “prsvious to making a motion. Until T had made that motion there was nothing to make 4 point of order against, I still have the recognition of the chair.” Ag4in the cheers broke ont, Governor Hadley then presented his formal motlon, to take from the tem- porary roll the Taft delegates and sub- stitute the Roosevelt delegates in cer- tain contested states Mr. Watson renewed his point order before the list was read. Arguments on Point of Order. The point of order seems to weil taken,” said Rosewater, “but, the governor will address himself to the point of order, we will hear him minutes, not wishing to be be Governor Hadley called to the plat- form Governor Deneen of Iilinois and former Governor Fort of New Jersey. Secretary Hayward announced to the delegates that each side would be | heard for twenty minutes. There was a brief consultation on the stage by the opposing forces, Then Governor Hadley had stepped to the front stage and began his argument, Governor Hadley briefly announced again his motlon and the fact that Rosewater had ruled that a point of order against the motion seemed to be well taken, “Instead of following the illustrious example of our dlstinguished leader, Willlam McKinley, when he presided in n convention and invited full debate and consideration of a point of order, the present chalrman has asked only for u brief slatement from each side,” sald Governor Hadley, The menton of MeKinles's evoled no applause, Hadley Attacks Natlonal Committes, “I mesert,” he went on, “that the question is whether the national eom- miliee of (he republican party has the absolute pewer (a form a tempeorary rell far this convention whie he Nanged hy a repert from mitled of Lhie cenvention, or whether name of | if | ! this convention itself shall say who shall sit in it, “If it is in the power of 27 then to say who shall sit in this convention, arbitrarily and without appeal, then we have reached the end of representa- tive government in this country.” A round of cheers greeted this at- tack on the national committee. The delegates listened to Hadley with quiet attention. “We know but one government in this country,” he said. “Government by political party. If a political con- vention can be controlled by a group of men within the party, then have we established political oligarchy. Then have we given a few men control over party and convention.” E-Governor Fort Argues Point. Governor Hadley closed in a storm of “applause, and ex-Governor Fort of New Jersey took up the argument, Mr, Fort did not get far in his argu- ment before the crowd began to laugh and interrupt him with cries of “Sit downl” Fort made the mistake of answering the galleries, which clearly held a big preponderance of Taft sym- thizers, The Roosevelt people claimed they were packed. Mr. Fort was constantly interrupted after that. ““That's right,” he shouted; “try to make a man sit down when he is here fighting fraud.” Fort said it was the duty eof every man to vots that the convention has the power to determrine whether or not the roll prepared for the convention was such as the convention would ac- cept. “8it down!” again shouted the gal- leries. “I appeal to the members %of this (Continued on Page Three.) TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT. Taft Managers, However, Expect to Continue Their Control. Chicago, June 18,—The Taft man- agers tonight privately admitted that the vote on the election of Senator Root as temporary chairman was “too close to be comfortable,” although they Insisted they would be able to maintain control of the convention. “Today’s vote showed unmistakably that we had contrel,” said Director McKinley, as he curried into confer- ence with his aides, “Will you keep the line?” he was asked. “Certainly, The lineup will be pre- served and we will maintain more votes, The defeat today will discour- age the other side” was the reply, Hvery effort of the Taft campaigners was directed tonight toward holding firm that narrow ority of 18 by which Root's electfon was accom- plisered, Kstimates by Taft partisany tonlght pluced the real Taft mujority in the convention at between six and ten ien, - Director Mr.!i!a}ey called in all of his workers and“¥arged them to their greatest metivity tonmight.

He claimed strength for Taft but pointed out no specific accessions to the Taft | column, delegates in “HAVE THEM WHIPPED.” Senator Dixon Declares Taft's Nomi- nation is Impossible. Chicago, June 18.—“We have them whipped,” said Senator Dixon, mana- ger of the Roosevelt campalgn, after the convention had elected Senator Root temporary chairman. “The vote this afternoon proves it. It demon- strates beyond a doubt the impossibili- | ty of Taft's nomination.” _The senator did not appear at all disappointed. He rushed around the Roosevelt headquarters, from caucus room to caucus room, insisting that events of the next few important days would tell a different siory. “It takes 540 vot 0 nominate,” the senator declared. r. Root received for temporary chairman 558 votes. In this vote were included seven votes from Illinois instructed in the primary for Mr. Roosevelt, and these delegates have already announced their intention t ocarry out their instructions.” Further analyzing the vote, Senator Dixon claimed for Roosevelt 22 votes cast today for Senator Root which are Instructed for Roosevelt, and expressed confidence that the credentials com- mittee of the convention would throw out some of the contested delegates seated by the national committee. “In Maryland, where the entire delegation of 16 were instructed for Mr. Roose- velt in the primary, eight delegates today voted for Mr. Reot for tempo- rary chairman,” the senator insisted. “In Oregon, where the entire ten votes are instructed for Roosevelt for®presi dent, three delegates today voted for | Mr. Root. TIn Pennmsylvania four dele gates instructed in the primaries for Roogevelt voted for Root for tempo rary chairman, fealing that the primary Instructions 414 not bind them in the matter of temporary chairman. This makes 2 total of 32 delegates from the | primary states who have openly an- nounced that they will vote for Mr. Roosevelt. _.'These 22 votes deducted from the 558 votes cast for Mr. Root for tem- | borary chairman leaves only 536 votes | for Mr. Taft, being four short of a | majority. Besides these instructed Roosevelt delegates from the primary | states there are delegates from at lea six other states who voted for Root t. day who are openly avowed Rooseve ic egates and who will vote for his ronunation “The avove figures take mo account of the fact that commencing tomorrow morning we will present the cases of the delegates fraudule: seated by the national committee from Califor- ria, ashington, Arizona Texas, Ala- bama, Kentucky, India and other states, aggregating upwards of 75 del- egates, to & new court in the shape of a credentials committee, and beyond that iLe report of the credentlals must be ::.;.1'1’,- adopted by the convention it- The action of the Wisconsin delega- tion in spiltting on the temporary chairmanship was regarded as ominoug by some of the Roosevelt leaders, Some of tho delegates are sald to be consid- erably aroused because Senator La Follette urged the delogation to take no progressive nction on the temporary organteation, BRYAN'S TICKET STOLEN, | Woman Arsested for Snatching It frem His Hand.

Y., June 13—That his decision not to permit the use of his name before the republican na- tional convention at Chicago is final was made plain today by Associate Justice Charles B. Hughes of the United States supreme court, who is spending the summer at this Adiron- dack resort. ‘When seen at Camp Abenakie on Lake Placid by a representative of the Associated Press, Justice Hughes con- firmed a report from New York that he had today telephoned friends at New York and telegraphed others at Chicago that he w )i not under any cir- cumatances permii his name to he ueed and requested that all mention of him be _stopped. Justice Hughes stated that this de- cision is final. All use of his name is absolutely without authority and he hasa positiely forbidden it. He will not permit the supreme court of the United Btates to be brought into polf- ties, he says, and he declares that he will not accept a nomination if it e of- fered him, TAFT PROGRAMME, Decision to Raise No Parliamentary Points Against Hadiey Order, Chicago, June 17.—Teft and Roose- velt leaders burned the midnight oil tonight analyzing again and again the first test vote of the republican nation- at convention with respect to its bear- ing on the presidential nomination, It was inevitable that conflicting claims should be put out from the two headquarters, claims far in excess of the Ledrock figures which the leaders arc zttempting to keep a close secret witnir their inner councils. Today came the first record lineup of the delegates. And yet it was far from convincing. So much so, in fact, that predictions were freely made on all sides tonight that neither Taft nor Raogevelt was likely to win on the first ballot. This sort of talk necessarily led to a widening of the gossip about a ccmapromite and a dark horse. It appeared certain, however, that this discussion would amount to noth- ing brt talk until a direct test of the strength of the opposmg candidates themselves had been made. i Taft forces in the convention to- day clected Senator Root as tempora- ry chalrman, 558 votes being cast for hia. This was 18 more than a major- ity of the 1,078 delegates In the conven- ticn, It was realized from the first that the vote on Senator Root, how- ever, would not reflect the actual strength either of Mr, Taft or Mr. Roosevelt. At one conference of the Taft lead- ers tonight it wes said they had scaled down and cut out the doubtful votes from the Root total, and thelr final anatyeis showed 542 votes for the pres- ident, twe more than enough to nom- inate. EKven these figures, it was sald inciuded a few “wobbly” delegates and raight be changed. 7 Tire Roosevelt leaders were frankly surpriced at the Root vote, and claim- ed they expected him to poll between 375 and 580 votes. They professad tonight to be jubil- | of the situation, | ant cver thefr view ¢ 3 but at the game time it was impossible for them to figure out on PAPSF A ma- | jority for the colonel. At a conference of the Taft leaders | tomight it was decided that no parla- | | memary points of ‘order should be made against the Hadlev motion and that three hours should be allowed for ate. The motion will sither be al lewed to come to a vote on its merits or © motion made to refer the entire matter to the committee on creden- tivs. This conference was attended Ly Serators Penrose of Pennsylvania Crzne of Massachusetts, Smoot of ("tah, Lippitt of Rhode Island, Sanders ernessee, William Barnes of New homas H.
