self Down to the Lowest Point
Before Acting.
Chicago, June 21. The Roose
velt forces met their third defeat
in the republican national conven
tion this afternoon. The convention
voted to table the Hadley resolution
which would have prevented any
contested delegates voting on any
cases reported by the credentials
committee.
With the announcement of the re
sult of the first roll call it was de
clared the Roosevelt people would
go "straight down the line," fight
ing every case and demanding a roll
call on' each. Taft Leader Watson
Tenewed the motion of Walker, of
Virginia, to table the-minority re
port. The convention voted to table.
Another Taft victory. Vote: yeas,
605; nays, 460.
' Convention Mores Slowly.
- ' Chicago, June ,21. The conven
tion's fourth day opened with Taft
a strong favorite for the renomlna
tlon, the possibility of a third can
didate as second choice in the bet
ting, and Roosevelt apparently out
of the race, as far as this conven
tion la concerned. Ordinarily iu re
publican national convention pro
cedure, the presidential candidate
would have been nominated yester
day, the third day, leaving only as
the remaining business today, the
selecting of the vice-presidential
candidate and adjournment. As the
program runs now, the credentials
committee report may require a vote
jby individual delegates; the rules
committee report may provoke ex
tended debate and the platform may
ensume half a day's discussion on
the floor.
If the convention actually gets
down to the point of nominations
this week, it will be late Saturday
unless there is a decision to adjourn
the sessions of the convention to
next week. Every effort today was
directed toward closing up the con
vention Saturday afternoon or night.
National committee officials joined
the leaders on both sides to achieve
this end. It was stated this could
not bo expected unless a certain fac
tion consented to the advancement
of the convention's general busi
ness. Sentiment prevailed among
recognized party leaders to let the
Roosevelt situation wear Itself down
to Its lowest point before attempt
ing to go ahead with the details of
winding up the convention. Taft's
managers asserted that the presi
dent already was assured of a ma
jority of sixteen or eighteen votes
when the roll call on the presiden
tial nomination comes. There was
much conjecture over the exact
number of delegates Roosevelt could
depend on to stay with him through
any sort of move the colonel might
decide upon.
Few Will Follow Roosevelt Bolt.
Outside of California, Pennsyl
vania and Kansas, it was predicted
that Roosevelt would get compara
tively little support among the dele
gates on any proposition that might
compromise the "regularity" of the
men following him. The Roosevelt
followers demonstrated that they
are willing to do almost anything
for Roosevelt, but "go the route."
Hadley, Deneen and Borah served
notice that they would not Join
third party movement or bolt from
the convention. Other leaders did
likewise. Taft stock advanced at an
amazing rate when it became known
that the unanimity of Roosevelt's
plans was broken. In this connec
tion It was reported that Hadley and
Roosevelt engaged in a heated argu
ment at one of their last confer,
ences.
McKlnley, the Taft leader, declar
ed that all compromise candidate
talk came from the Roosevelt men.
The Taft leaders conferred this
morning for the purpose of ad
vancing the plana for the day and
nlgbt sessions, with a view to wind
ing up the convention by Saturday
night. It was reported efforts were
CONVENTION A FUNERAL.
When asked wluit he thought
about (he presidential nomination,
ex-Senator Chnunccy M. Depew said:
"It Is a question of which corpse
will Ret the most flowers. This is
the first republican national conven
tion for filty years the nominee of
which hasn't a ghost of a show of
being elected.
IS NOT READY
May Be Able to Report On
Contested Cases By
Tonight
Chicago, 111., June 21. After an
all night session the credentials com
mittee at, six this morning, had
settled only fourteen of the seventy-
two contests considered vital by the
Roosevelt leaders in their appeal
from the national committee's deci
slons. All, together with twenty that
the credentials committee took up
on their own initiative, were settled
in favor of Taft. Chairman Devine
stated that there seemed no prospect
of presenting the report to the con
vention when it meets at eleven
o'clock.
Chairman Devine, of the creden
tials committee said if the Roosevelt
members would confine their attack
to those districts Included In the list
on which they based their principal
rharges of fraud, Including the
Washington and Texas cases, that
the committee would bo able to con
elude by tonight. The chairman said
the widest latitude will be allowed
the Roosevelt men.

pledged, both sides having exerted
their influence to the fullest. A few
hundred voters have not given any
