BY MARTIN GREEN. (Staff Correspondent of Fhe Evening World.) CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, June 22.—When the Repub- lican National Committee reassembled to-day Taft leaders had their teeth set in a determination to force the settlement of the remaining contests, dopt the plaiform, nominate a ticket headed by Taft and adjourn by midnight. sevell’s final decision not to have his name presented to the Con- nounced after a midnight conference, seemed to clear the way for the carrying out of the programime, But it was not certain the Colonel’s wishes would be followed by all of his supporters—especially men like Heney and other firebrands chosen as delegates at State primaries, Some of them may disregard the Colonel's expressed wishes and “obey the mandate of the people” to vote for him in the Convention, This, of course, would be the signal for a great uproar in the hall. Whether Roosevelt’s name goes before the Convention or not, a bolt is now certain. Along with the statement that Roosevelt had withdrawn from the race in Chicago, came the announcement that he would be nominated by a new party at a convention to be held in New York the last week in July. A mass meeting is scheduled for to-day to discuss plans for organizing the new party and to decide whether it shall be called “Progressive” or “National Progressive.” Ample financial support for the future has been assured, according to T. R.’s friends, George W. Perkins spent three hours with Col. Roosevelt Jast night and was with him again at midnight. Comptroller Prendergast admits that he has been requested by the Colonel himself not to present his name formally to the convention, Col. Roosevelt has urged Goy, Hadley not to consent to a nomina- tion for the Vice-Presidency at this convention, and Gov, Hadley has the matter under cdvisement. In case he declines, Senator Kenyon of lowa, who has been manager for Senator Cummins, and Senator Borah are talked of, while many of the New Yorkers who have been fighting for Taft are insisting on the renomination of Vice-President Sherman, Licked to a frazzle, with the English on the frazzle. This revision stands to-day as the situation of Col Roosevelt, as revised by the Na- tional Convention. The Colonel had the opposition licked to a frazzle a few weeks ago. He had them knocked through the ropes. To-day the Colonel is outside ve the ropes and lacks willing hands to help him ¢ imb back into the ring. President Taft, coveting the nomination, is in a fair way to get it. He “The denial of such a right after-born Infant equally prec} ‘aes the long drawn out session that they are willing to adopt any sort of of a sug- father's right to sue for the loss of his child's services." ‘The vaby plaintiff was born lame, paliea “Setada.” Rie, a can be nominated on the first ballot, and the delegates are so tired of the gestion that will enable them to engage their reservations for home.

ICE ONE CENT. [ROOT LETS THEM HAVE FULL SWING IN TALKING Band Starts the Day by Playing “The Last Rose of Summer’”—Many Con- tests Settled in Short Order. BY ‘MARTIN GREEN. (Stat Correspondent of the Evening World.) CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, June 22.—With a speed that called from a delegate the remark that the steam roiler was exceeding the limit, the Repubjican National Convention pushed forward its work on the contests to-d: Just after it was called to order the band played “The Last Rose of Summer,” and the delegates went to work as though it applied to this convention, Taft and Sherman is the ticket favored by the forces in control of the convention. The New York delegation is for Sherman and having stood by Taft from the start, Boss Barnes is in position to demand something. NOT LUKE THE USUAL GARB. The Rey. John Wesley Hill of New York, who opened the session of to-day with prayer, furnished the delegates and visitors with a varia- tion from what they had seen before in the way of clerical attire. Previe ous ministers, who have started the various sessions along under pray- erful guidance, have presenuted themselves in the black garb and high round collars of their calling. Dr, Hill bore no such signs of his life’s vacation, He wore a travelling salesman’s collar and a gray cutaway suit, and put his invocation over in a snapping manner of a campaign orator, It was easy to see that the tension was over when the crowd got iis first chance to take part in the proceedings. This came on the first vole to decide ihe fate of hte report of the committee on ¢redentials on the contest over the delegates-at-large from Mississippi. The decision was by viva voce vote. When Chairman Root called for the affirmation a great chorus of ayes rolled up from the delegate section. Then the galleries joined in when the chairman called for the contrary vote, and the volume of noes that swept over the hall almost blew off the helmets of the policemen, Mississippi was quickly put into the record ofpast performances and the proceedings went along at racehorse speed until the convention took up the contest from the State of Washington, Here, according to the Roosevelt leaders, was perpetrated one of the msot dastardly wrongs in the history of the world, Col. Roosevelt has repeatedly characteized the actin of the National Committee in giving the delegation of fourteen from Washington to Taft as a case of plain theft. It was anticipated that the Roosevelt floor leaders would put up big battle against the adoption of the Credentials Committee’s report seating the Taft Washington dele- gates, The anticipation took the muffler off the audience and Chairman Koot stepped to the front of the platform and advised calmness in order that the business of the convention might be expedited, EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT. “The steam roller is exceeding the speed limit,” yelled a delegate, “The point of order is well taken,” responded the chairman, During the progress of arrangements on the platform for handling the Washington matter, the galleries took charge of the convention, \ man able to give excellent imitation of a locomotive whistle entertained, A valunteer glee singer struck up “Near My God to Thee,” and had thousands joining in the strain, Suddenly the air shifted to “Glory Hallelujah.” Chairman Root wanted to get order at this juncture, but he had to wait until the singers had tired themselves out. TALKED AS THOUGH THEY MEANT IT. A minority report on the Washington situation was presented, As though they hoped to sway the minds of men who have fully decided just what they are going to do, the Roosevelt orators stood up before the convention and talked vociferously and earnestly. All the Roosevelt orators are yaliant and earnest. But it doesn’t seem th get them anything. Sm. ae. The Roosevelt people .were-treajed to-day by, in Root afles y GHT q ¥ x 23 a ee
