Long Drawn Out Fight This Afternoon Over the

Sides Claiming Final Victory
STILL TALKING OF
A POSSIBLE BOLT
Four Possibilities Before the Conr

the Nomination of Roosevelt, the
Nomination of a Third Candidate
and the Possibility of a Second or

Hadley Renews the Fight of Yes
terday; Afternoon on Contested
Delegates Long Debate and In
dividual Roll Cull. .
Chicago, June 18. With interest
bo intense as almost to preclude ap
pJause, the republican national con
vention thlg afternoon was in the
midst of a three hours' argument on
Hadley'B motion to "purge" the tem-r
porary roll of ninety-two delegates
contested by the Roosevelt faction,
but seated by the national commit
tee. It seemed likely the debate and
vote on the question would last all
the afternoon.
Plan of Fight.
Chicago, 111., June 19. The sec
ond day of the republican national
convention, opened with ten hours
stubborn lighting ahead and the out
come of the contest for the presi
dential nomination no nearer the cud
than yesterday. Four major possi
bilities loomed up in foreground.
These were:
The renomination of Taft, the
nomination of Roosevelt, the nom
ination of a third candidate, ana the
possibility of a second or double
convention. Scores of men could be
found In the convention crowds who
would back any one of these possi
bilities with cash. Taft, Roosevelt,
and thir candidate partisans each
claimed the strategic advantage as a
result of yesterday's selection of
Ellhu Root for temporary chairman.
It was a wonderful opportunity for
political prophets, who wandered in
this maze of chance. The vote of
558 to 502 by which Root was
chosen over McGovcrn, was con
strued In bo many ways that the av
erage mind became confused and
finally rejected all forecasts.. One
thing seemed certain as the time of
the re-assembling of delegates at
eleven o'clock approached. That was
that (lov. Hadley would take up the
fight for the Roosevelt forces by re
newing his motion to strike from the
temporary roll of the convention, as
prepared by the national committee
the names of ninety-two Taft dele
gates seated in the contested cases
and substitute those of the Roose
velt cases.
Ilotli Side Confident.
The Taft leaders' will move to re
fer (lov. Hadley 's "expurated" list
to the credentials committee. On
this motion, a roll call of all the del
egates, individually, was planned.
Gov. Hadley, as the Roosevelt flaor
leader, had arranged with former
Representative James E. Watson,
the Taft floor leader, for an hour
and a half debate by each side on
the questions. This, with the time
necessary for a long roll call prom
ised to prolong this phase of the bit
ter fight Into the late afternoon. Be
fore adjourning the session, it was
planned to recess until tonight. As
now outlined by the leaders, the con
vention will be organized to proceed
to business Thursday morning. It
Is expected the credentials and plat,
form committees will report Thura-
GODWIN WINS SIXTH.
BY BIG MAJORITY
(Special to The Timet.)
Wilmington, June 19. In the
sixth North Carolina district primary
yesterday H. L. Godwin won in a
landslide from N. A. Sinclair of
' Fayettevtlle the .democratic nomina
tion for the national house. The
voting was light but In favor of the
incumbent In all counties. The ma
jority was 2,500.
Senate Not In Session.
Washington, June 19. The sen
ate was not In session. . The house
met st noon. The regular calendar
yn taken, up, i
day night The Roosevelt followers
can then renew the demands for
"purging" the roll and have another
individual roll call. If the Roose
velt partisans are beaten then, the
much discussed double convention
may come. It was frequently rumor
ed today that Roosevelt urged his
managers to take steps to fo:-ce the
issue regarding the demanded revo
action in the contest cases. The
cation of the national committee's
Roosevelt managers are still confi
dent of their ability to swing the
situation to their candidate. They
claim they will have many addition
al votes on the future roll call. To
support this claim they Baid they
would have eight votes from Mary
land, which went to Root on the
chairmanship decision, and addition
al votes from North Carolina, Penn
sylvania, Illinois and Georgia. "We
will win out beyond question," said
Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's campaign
manager. Senator Poindexter, of
Washington, was among the Roose
velt leaders who intimatod that the
possibility of a bolt by their forces
was imminent. "In case these con
tested delegates are allowed to pass
on their own claims, Roosevelt will
be a candidate," said Poindextef.
This was construed to mean but one
thing, a bolt If Roosevelt finds him
self in the minority. Roosevelt may
visit the convention as a spectator,
but the Taft leaders Insisted he
could not, under the regulations Im
posed by the national committee,
participate in deliberations from the
floor. The Taft loaders are equally
as confident of success as the Roose
velt men. They assert that nearly
all the Roosevelt delegates who
voted for Root would remain with
the Taft organization through ' the
remainder of the convention. No
great weight is being given the com
promise candidate talk by either the
Taft or the Roosevelt leaders. Af
ter the mass-meeting of Roosevelt
delegates, Hadley declared the sit
uation was just the same as con
fronted the delegates when they en
tered the Coliseum yesterday at
noon.
Theodore Roosevelt's fighting
blood surge-. from the moment he
reached his' conference headquarters
in the Con ess hotel until his field
captains 1 for the convention hall.
Dixon, Hi ley. Plnchot and other
close adv: ers, were closeted - with
the Colon an hour or more. After
the conference Hadley announced
there woud bo no change in Roose
velt forces convention program. Had
ley said: "We are going right ahead
fighting every inch of ground. Some
of Roosevelt's friends were not so
certain tho Colonel would not have
some other plan which might upset
things. The Colonel has taken ab
solute dominating command of his
forces. He issues orders like an of
ficer in a field of battle and he had
scores of messengers scurrying
about with messages for the Roose
velt lieutenants. One of .Roosevelt's
friends said the Colonel is "abso
lutely boss." and he might change
his plans any moment. Roosevelt's
chief lieutenants)' Hadley and De-
necn, announced they would not
sanction a bolt under any clrcum
stances. They mado no secret of
their position and announced it to
several newspaper men.
' Called to Order.
Senator Root, temporary chair
man, called the convention to order
at eleven fifteen. Many seats on the
floor and galleries were vacant. Con
siderable time was consumed, In
clearing the aisles before the chap
lain offered prayer. In the hour pre
ceding the assembling little excite
ment prevailed. To accompaniment
of a medly of airs the delegations
Sled In. Scattering applause greet
ed the various notable. Before the
gavel hall, Root conferred with the
Taft and Roosevelt floor leaders.
Prayer of Rabbi Htolx.
The prayer of Rabbi Stolz was as
follows:
"O, Lord, who are the loving
Father of all mankind, , the . just
ruler of the nations, the everlasting
God whose counsel of righteousness
and truth prevalleth over the 'waves
of passion and the tumult ol voices,
we bless Thee (hat Thou hast set
out nation high among the peoples
of the earth and has been our
strength In every conflict, our pres
ent help in every time of need.
"In Thy bounty, Thou has given
us this land flowing with milk and
honey; and In Thy gracious Provi
dence, Thou hast destined it to be
