Comptroller’s Spirited Fight for Col- onel Provokes Storm of Hisses and Cheers. (Gpecial from a Staff Correspondent of The Hvening World.) ‘ROCHESTER, N. Y., April 10.—Although the Republican party of the State tentatively instructed the four delegates-at-large and the eighty-six district ‘delegates for ‘Taft in closing hours of the conven tion this afternoon, influential leaders of the party do not regard the in structions as binding in a political sense. They consider that, if the best interests of the party should dictate the nomination of another at Chicago in June, the instructions issued by the Rochester convention may be di regarded, inasmuch as they are construed to carry only a moral ott ; gation. we The Roosevelt followers look upon the instructions as a subterfuffe. for the sake of expediency. The Republican leaders who do not believe Taft can be re-elected are hoping that another man may come out of the background between now and June on whom the delegates of the Em- pire State may centre their support, ; The convention was stand pat and reactionary from start to finish. The Republican party is still split wide open on many important issues. The Rochester convention, taken in connection with the Illinois primaries, has spread a Republican chill, Leaders of the organisation, talking for publication, say the convention will be a great toward harmony. Speaking privately, they deplor: the fecting, #0 manifest to-day, that the rank and file are certainly not united on Taft and are widely divided on the polloles enunciated in the State pi form. Bos!
