Chicago, June 8.—(Special Tele ram,)—The decks are now cleared or the main action of president choosing. be terized strictly business sessions, and by buckling down and aboiding sidc diversions, the preliminaries to nomi nation have been agcomplished in a dignified manner without unseemly haste deviation from the usual regular order I'he one thing of big significance, of course, is the appointment upon invi tation of the Bull Moose convention of a'special committee on conference to act with a like committee with a view of blazing a way to “get togeth er lesired object may be attained, I must onfess that at this moment of writ ing which is just after adjournment to the morrow, I am not over san guine for 1 realize the tremendous ob tacles in the way of complete and cordial co-operation between the two conventions Moose Unanimous. national convention may charac or It goes without saying that the Bull Moose delegates are almost unanimous for the nomination for Reosevelt, in fact | am informed that it was hard driving to induce them to nitiate the conference proposition be fore making their own nomination It goes also without saying that the committee conference named by Bull Moose will hold tenaciously for the Colonel, On the other side it seems equally abvious that the nomi nation of Rooseveit by the republi can convention is next to impossible Today's meetings of the republican | While I have some hope that the | the | and that, if left to itself, it will name | Hughes on & second or third ballot, The temper of many of the repub lican delegates this morning was that of being "nettled” by the threats and ultimatum talk on the part of the Bull Moose and a growing disposition to | shy off,” but wholly free from bad humor as attested by the few dis- cnts to the motion to accede to the conference request, Vet it should be wnderstood too that the committee appointed to rep- resent the republican convention 1§ hardly a Hughes committee. On the face of it, it is made up preponderent- | ly of men who have been uuuualely‘ associated together in the senate, “That committee, if it could have its own way, would be for Root,” de- clared a well known man who knows the ins-and-outs of the game. “This is the final effort,” he added, “to put through the original program to name Root, if the colonel and his followers can be brought to accept and support him.” o To me the probability of prevailing on the bull moosers to take Root or upon the republicans to take any- one acceptable to the bull moorers, except Hughes, seems such a long chance that I would not be surprised if the conference resulted in no more than an agreement to disgree and that the real agreement between the two parties would have to be brought about by conferences, later of course “I may be miscalculating the con- ditions but that is the way they look to me for the moment, with what knowledge 1 have gleaned from the men on the inside and higher up. | repeat that failure to agree on a joint nomination other than Hughes means the nomination of Hughes by the republicans regardless of the ac i ‘» REPUBLICAN WARHORSE MAKES HIT AT CHICAGO, UNCLE JOE CANNON Sherman Boomers Have Elephant on Their Hands Chicago, June 8.—Managers of the Sherman presidential boom have an elephant on their hands in Chin-Chin, said to be the smallest pachyderm in the world I'he dget clephant which is four and a half feet high and weighs 350 pounds, was brought to Chicago by express from New York for use as a mascot to head the Sher man outdoor parade It has rained for three days and in tion H!Illu' convention of any other| gieadq of outdoor processions the political party x Sherman crowd has confined its ef I}"““"]"“ S“k"'”‘ h ’:l""fh o | forts to demonstrations in hotel lob- high level of Americanism and pro m'l‘lu' baby elephant, wearing a blan gressiveism and can easily give com- |y with . the inseription: “Sher mon standing room for all who ever | t¢, Wit JUE, HHEHPETed Party,” called themselves republicans, It 18 Spent the night in the Sherman head- dissicly an olive )n’,nuh nlv '('h,« r: quarters on the second floor of the ment vandered away four years | &0 oo hotel 0 1s0 an inspiring dec : S y - ‘ I X Manager Gores today ordered the o the ricanism of ebry | SO NN P e bakiage 1 s the new rules which as I have said | L RITEY Persons the constitution of the s F reanieanion begun by Injured in Crash ‘<.
