Chicago, June 21.—The republican leaders divecting the affairs of the na- tional convention are going to try to- | morrow to crowd the work of days into one. With permanent organ- fzation vet to be perfected, with sev- eral important contest cases yeot to be| heard, with rules to adopt, platform to be threshed out, and nominations for | president and president to be made, the convention will be called to order at 10 a. m., and every possible effort will be made to dlspose of the accumulated business before adjourn- ment of the session is taken, Taft on the First Ballot.

Through this technicality the Taft forces claimed the two delegates from the Fpurth district. The case was bi- terly fought and the voting was fol- lowed with the greatest interest, es- peclally when it was seen that the Taft people were losing many of the delegates that have been with them in other contests. Texas and Washington Yet. Despite the fact that the Roosevelt ade to Complete the Bus- Not Accept Nomination From people were defeated in all their fights today there was no indication {of a bolt. Some of the Rooseveit {leaders had feared that the Californ- ans might take matters into thelr own hands and fail to observe the Roose- | velt programme of sitting through the | convention to the end and then possi- bly taking. independent action. But their fears proved groundless. When adjournment was teken until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, the Tex- as and Washington contest cases still remained to be dealt with, and there was likelihood of more bitterness be- tween the opposing forces.

The original Hadley list contained 92 delegates when first presented last Monday. On Tuesday it was scaled down to 78, today it was 72. James Wadsworth, Jr.,, of New York made a point of order against Had- ley’s motion, contending that in effeot its entertainment by the chair at this time would establish rules for the con- vention, before the committee on rules had had an opportunity of considering the matter. He said the motion would reverse the ruling made by the chair when the resolution was first produced on Tuesday. 3 Root Entertains the Motion. Root, advancing to the front of the stage, sald that the parliamentary ar- gument would support the point of order." “But,” he continued, “It is o to the general interest of the republican party that it should be passed upon and settled this convention that the | chair will therefore entertain the mo- tion.” James B. Watson of Indiana, the Taft floor leader, moved to lay the motion of Governor Hadley on the table. A Toll call demanded and seconded. It was ordered.
