Outsyard indications that Theodore Roosevelt was (0 be chosen unanimous- ly as the standard-bearer of his party absolutely were lacking at the White House in the morning. The President appeared at his desk at the usual hour and began immediately to transact rou- tine executive business with Secretary Loeb. The important subjects disposed of, he received several visitors for whom engagements had been made. No members of the Cabinet called dur- ing the early hours of the business day. The President was kept in close touch with the situation at Chicago through the press bulletins and private messages from the convention hall, which were received over a special wire at the White House. On his return to the executive offices after he had been informed of his nomination, President Roosevelt greet- ed cordially a number of newspaper men. He expressed his pleasure at re- ceiving the warm congratulations of those who, in the performance of theif duties, are kept constantly” in touch with the President and his work. CHATS WITH FRIENDS. Sitting tlited back in a big armchair at his desk the President chlftted freely and frankly with those about him.

With genial rail- lery he chatted with one, exchanged comments on men or events with an- other, laughed heartily at a cartoon of himself to which atténtion was drawn, sketched in a free-hand way incidents of the convention, recalled some inter- esting situations, personal and political, and in conclusion again thanked his friends for expressions of their con- gratulations. Aside from Secretary Loeb, Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis was the first official of the administra- tion to extend his congratulations. Later in the day. however, other of- ficials called at the White House to felicitate RooseVelt upon his nomina- tion. During the late afternoon and the early evening telegrams from all parts of the country poured into the White House offices by the score, each bearing its words of cheer and good wishes.

Cor- elyou was chosen chairman of the Republican : National Committee at a | meeting held to-day, just after the ad- Journment of the national cenvention. thanking the committee for the honor, he told the members that, while he would be glad to have the benefit of their advice and counsel, he in- tended to be chairman in fact, and would accept no dictation from any one, high or iow. He told them that the friends of the late Chairman Hanna | were his friends, and he asked T the same measure of confidence and support that had been given to the | late chairman. In conclusion, he sought the advice of both old and new | members. Cortelyou made ~n formal statement | of his plans. He had resigned as Sec- | retary of Commerce and Labor as soon | as he was elected chairman, the resig- nation to take effect as soon as his successor qualifies, which will be about July 1. Secretary Cortelyou will no* give any active time to political mat- ters until he retires from the Cabinet. ! NO VICE CHAIRMAN. No‘vice chairman will be appointed, and the new chairman will divide his time between the New York and Chi- cago headquarters, although some members of the committee no doubt will be designated to take charge ofl‘ the headquarters in this city. Head- | quarters will not be opened in either | city until the latter part of July. Meanwhile Cortelyou expects to select | the executive committee and make his | preliminary arrafigements for the cam- paign. As soon as the committee was called | to order, Postmaster General Payne, in a complimentary speech, nominated Cortelyou for chairman, and the elec- tion was made without a dissenting | voice. Clayton of Arkansas, Murphy of | New Jersey and Yerkes of Kentucky | were appointed a committee to notify the new chairman and bring him be- | fore the committée. After Cortelyou’s remarks Elmer Do- | ver of Ohio was named as secretary by Cornelius N. Bliss of New York for treasurer by Governor Murphy and William F. Stone of Mary- | land for sergeant-at-arms by Senator MecComas. All of these officers were unanimously re-elected. A resolution was adopted authorizing the chairman to appoint an executive | committee of nine, with such other of- ficers as are necessary for the'manage- ment of the campaign. The chairman, secretary, treasurer and sergeant-a arms are to be officers of the executive ! committee. Under this resolution the| chairman is given absolute power in the conduct of the campaign.
