To further involve the situation there was evidence of serious disaffec tion in the Roosevelt tamp.

Crane ‘ Feeling Out” Cummins' Availability The chief of the Taft "peace delega tion” was Murray Crane, senator from Massachusetts, end the man lie picked for the compromise candidate was Al bert M. Cummins, senator from lowa. A three-hour conference was held by Crane and Senator Kenyon, of lowa t the Cummins commander-in-chief This ended early in the day and at that time Senator Crane stated that the two had discussed replacing Taft with Cummins before the convention and that there was good reason to believe that th? factional controversy would be settled. A great part of the discussion was given up to the platform that Cum mins would insist upon. Senator Ken-, yon made ft plain that Cummins would demand a progressive platform con taining no planks favoring reactionary methods or measures Senator Kenyon pleased the Taft leader when he said that Cummins was not in favor of the recall of Judges either In the manner advocated by Roosevelt or in any other form. Hr was, however, said Kenyon, an advo cate of the initiative and referendum After Kenyon and Crane separated a aucus of the lowa delegation was ailed to reach a definite decision as to he platform to be put forward. John McVicara. one of Cummins' chief ad ders, said later "If Senator Cummins should prov a acceptable to the Taft followers as a ompromlse candidate the Roosevelt wing of the party can not possibly re fuse to support him because his pro gressiveness has to be admitted by all."’ Hadley Boom Growing. Too. Senator Crane of Massachusetts called a meeting of his state delega tion at 10:30 o'clock.

Reports that Hadley had warned Colonel Roosevelt that he would not consider bolting the convention gave him standing among the rank ami file of the Taft delegates, who were strong ly impressed by the governor s general ship in the convention, though beaten. Rumors emanating from the Taft camp were that Hadley would be of fered the vice presidential nomination in the original Taft program were adhered to and the president were ie nomlnated T R.

Governor Hadley of Missouri, and the Illinois leaders would not countenance it bolt. The big bolt was forecasted when twelve Roosevelt members of the cre dentials committee walked out of the meeting of that body last night in pro test against a “gag" rule presented by James A Hetnonwaj. of Indiana. These men were: Francis J. Heney. California; Mau rice I. Galvin, Kansas. Lrx N Mitch ell, J’ennsylvanin; Jesse M. Libby, Maine; Edward t' Carrington. Jr.. Maryland: H. T. Halbert, Minnesota; H. E.

Is Disposed of CHICAGO, lune 20. —No platform to be presented to the Republican national con vention will be written until after the followers of Colonel Roosevelt have either bolted or decided to be "good." If the Roosevelt forces bolt, the Re publican platform will be of an entirely different nature and far more' conserva tive than is now planned. If a dark horse candidate is actually de cided upon today by the Taft leaders, he may lie an important factor In writing the platform. These faces became known today short ly after the committee on platform and resolutions met at 10 o'clock this morn ing The sub-comrnlttee of nine, appointed to make a draft of the platform for sub mission to the entire committee, reported that they had made no progress and probably would not be ready to report until late this afternoon The full com mittee then adjourned and the sub-com mittee went into session The sub-committee is composed of Charles IV Fairbanks, of Indiana; Hop kins Clark, of Connecticut; Herbert S. Hadley, of .Missouri: William Barnes. Jr., of New York; William Draper Lewis, of Pennsylvania: George Sutherland, of Utah; Dr. latwrence Groner, of Virginia, and H. Clay Evans, of Tennessee. None of the Roosevelt members of the platform committee was present today when the committee went into session. The tariff problem, one of the big ques tions before the platform committee, is "up in the air." No tariff plank will bo written until it is definitely known what the Roosevelt forces will do.

Alabama cases before the credentials committee. During the first balloting wherein the substitute motion of th? Roosevelt side of the house tried to seat the Roosevelt men many members of the committee arose Io explain their votes. Mr. Mitehell, of Delaware, who, it had been hoped, would help out Colonel Roosevelt, voted against the Roosevelt delegates, explained that he believd a resolution introduced in evidence as part of th Roosevelt case had been changed following the meeting at which the resolution had been passed down in Alabama. J. A. Tolerton. of Missouri, another Roosevelt man. did not vote when his name was called. He announced he had not decided. He later voted aye. How They Voted On “Stolen” Delegates. Committeemen from , the following states voted to seat the Roosevelt dele gates on the first roll call: Illinois,. Kansas, Maine. Minnesota, Missouri. Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina. North Dakota, Ohio, Okla homa, Oregon. Pennsylvania and West Virginia. All the others voted for the Taft del egates. J. B. Avis, of New Jersey, went into a. lengthy explanation of his vote, but was cut short by Chairman Devine: "We want no stump speeches here." He declared that the call of the Taft people for their state convention did not give the people a chance to attend and name a representative delegation. Shackleford, of Alaska, a. strong Taft man. explained his vote by declaring that the Roosevelt contestants had not produced the original minutes of their convention which they couid have done had that convention been regular. Following the close of this case a motion was made to adjourn upon the statement from Committeeman Hal bert that he intended presenting a proposition to expedite matters. He referred tn abandonment of 22 cases on his part and the pushing of only those in Arizona. Toxas. Washington and Alabama. In view of this, ad journment was taken until 2:30 o'clock. It is believed the committee will drive through the cases by early even ing A majority of the Roosevelt bolters from the credentials committee who walked out when the steam roller choked off protesting Roosevelt men. had returned to that body today. "The subsequent action of the com mittee in broadening the rules was a victory for us." declared Hugh Hal bert. of Minnesota, one of the Roose velt leaders In the committee. When the committee got into session nd contestants were present and this caused a row. The Roosevelt men in sisted that the state contestants be no tified to appear in the order named in the list of contestants. Halbert protested and was gaveled down by Chairman Devine, of Colorado. "This committee wjll proceed in an orderly fashion,” he cried. Several men were on their feet shout ing at <>nee. Devine pounded his gavel and finally got enough order to be heard. Steam Roller In Action Again "Call the roll of the state contests." he ordered, “and let thpse who arc l rea<l\ come In.” "Alabama!” called the secretary and In a moment the contesting lawyers filed in. Ormsby McHarg in the lead. The roll was called again. Several of the Roosevelt men had not reached the room. 1 move we suspend until some of the other members come.” said Hal bert. "You are out of order!" ruled the chairman. "I mote. then, that we adjourn for fifteen minutes! " said W. S. I.auder. On a viva voce vote Lauder lost. ”1 appeal from the ruling of the chair!” he cried. Bang went the gavel. Lauder and Halbert were on their feet shouting.

Three men believed to be delegates to the Republican national conven tion. but who disguised their identity under supposedly fictitious names, cre ated a panic in "Peacock alley” and the Pompeiian room of the Congress hotel early today and were arrested. The men zigzagged into the Pompeiian room shouting for "Teddy." One wore a waste basket over his silk hat. Chairs and tables were overturned and women ran from the room frightened at the commotion. The men said they were front Michigan. arms seat you!" he shouted. “We want to make a motion.” cried La uder. "We want fair play.!” A groan went up from the Taft men. They had steam up and were anxious to go ahead. "You are out of order; sit down!" shouted Devine. "Proceed with the Ninth Alabama case.” Order was restored. Alexander C. Rircb. credentials committeeman from Alabama, was one of the contested del egates in the .Ninth Alabama case. He declared that he did not t>ropose to vote on the case as a committeeman. George R. Handley, of Alabama, pre sented the Ninth Alabama case. Francis J. Heney, of California, the Roosevelt leader, who led the bolt last night, did not appeal. Halbert led the remaining Roosevelt men. Here is the list of absentees as shown by the roll call: C. H. Crowley, North Carolina; Dan Norton. Oklahoma: S. X. Way, South Dakota; M. B. McFarland, Wisconsin: F. W. Mondell. Wyoming: T. P. Shackleford, Alaska. McCormick Allowed To Send Proxy. R. R. McCormick, of Illinois, was not present at the opening, but appeared at 10 o'clock and conferred with Chair man Devine before he went on the floor and asked if he could send a proxy be cause of the condition of his voice. Devine declared that he did not believe that McCormick had the right to let any one use his proxy. However, unanimous consent gave McCormick that right, and the case proceeded. Under rule No. 6, none of the mem bers on the committees who are in volved in contests could vote or remain in the toom while the committee was discussing and acting upon his case. The Ninth Alabama delegates for the Roosevelt side, who fought for a change in the ruling- of the national committee were Oscar R. Hundley- and G. R. Lewis. The Taft men were James B. Sloan and J. Rivers Carter, the men who are now on the temporary roll of the con vention. Committeeman Shackelford later ar rived at the session. Hundley claimed his men to be the regular delegates be cause the Taft men were elected at a convntlon the call for which was not legally issued. He asserted that a lit tle notice was published but no call was ever properly published. New Rules Allowed New Taft Evidence. Judge Hundley drove In a snug fit ting spike when he sprang an affidavit on alleged bolting delegates. The affi davit was by D. C. Hancock, who was secretary of the bolting convention. It said in part: * "Had there been no split I would have remained in the regular conven tion and voted to indorse Mr. Taft and to support Mr. Fairley." “This man was secretary of their convention and yet he called our con vention regular and declared he would have remained with the regulars," de clared Hundley. This was new evidence secured since the adjournment of the national com mittee. It was a vindication of the fight of last night. Under the steam roller rules this could not have been introduced. The Old rule said that no evidence received since the adjourn ment of the national committee could be introduced. The new rules say nothing on this point. “There is vindication right there." declared Halbert. "Under the old rule we could not have introduced that new Hancock affidavit. "I have no interest personally in this," shouted Hundley. "I am calling to you t'roni and for regularity. 1 ap peal for the Ninth congressional dis trict. a great commercial center of the South, for pure Republicanism and r e g. ularity." Judge O. D. Streel spoke, for the Taft side of the contest. Judge Street made the point that there are two factions in Alabama, but. that the national com mittee had seated the Taft delegates- I at-large by a unanimous vote. McHarg Explains His Return. Ormsby NlcHatg. former foe of Roosevelt, but now one of hits active leaders, appeared before the committee to present evidence of alleged fraud in those cases.
