GOMPERS IS CAUSING ALL THE TAFT MEN TO WORRY A LOT If He Doe$n1 Gef Anti-Injunction Plank Into Chicago Plat form He'll Tote the Plank to Denver and Try to Get it Nailed Into Democratic Platform There. NATIONAL COMMITTEE NEARING END OF ITS JOB Some Contests Remain, But Everybody Knows They'll Be Settled By Seating of Men Favorable to Ohio Candidate -Racetrack Fight May Help Hughes a Bit. (By Leased Wire 10 The Times) . Chicago, June; 12 The republican national committee today pre pared to clear away the last of the 229 delegation- contests which con fronted it about a week ago and adjourned. When the session opened, at the Coliseum annex there were onlv a few more contests to hear and It was predicted that, whether it is a Taft or an anti-Tart fight, the war secretary would, as usual, get the delegates. The allies have given, up hoping for a look-in before this committee. While the committee was making its last lap there was a good deal of vice-presidential and platform business going on in Chicago. Although the Taft boomers have kept their hands oft the vice-presidential situa tion, it is known here that the administration favors George B. Corlelyou for the place. It has even been intimated that the administration .might, be satisfied with' .Gov.; Hughes for the place, binee he .put the New York racing bill through the governor feels a great deal better so far as having a chance at leading the ticket is concerned. The leaders were somewhat worried over the attitude assumed by the labor voters of the United States. President Oompors and his following have a definite demand and will make It todav when they reach Chicago. They want an absolute antl-injiinctioa plank in the platform. There are those in Hie party that will fight it. The laboring interests will fight until the last gap to put. this plank In. and then if they fail there will be trouble for the republicans. This is what worried those interested in the success of the party. If JniKrs' Xoses at Chicago He'll Take I'limk to Denver. President Goinpers has his plan of war mapped out in this wise: If the republican convention refuses to adopt the antj-injunction plank, It will be toted out to Denver and an attempt made to nail It into the democratic platform. If that Is successful, it would not take a very wise person to see that the -laboring interests would not work for the election of the republican nominee. That is not the only element or trouble. If the party does adopt the anti-injunction platform) they wll arouse the ire of the National Manufacturers' association. President James It. YanCleave is here to see that the interests of his organization are not pinched. No wonder the party leaders have held many conferences in an eflort to rrame up a deal whereby both interests may be conserved. While Mr. Hitchcock was busy at the Coliseum annex today, watching the - steam roller" put some more aini-Taft dole.'utes out of business. Arthur I. Vorys and Charles P. Taft were placed in constant communication with bocre tary Taft and the president. : A private wire from the annex to the white house has been rigged up and there are expert and trusted operators to -handle it. The Women's Christian Temperance union today presented its sug gestions for pla.iks in the new platform. The suggestion will lie presented to Chairman Hopkins of the resolutions committee by Lillian M. Stevens, president, and Surah Frye, secretary. (Continued on Pago Two.) GENERAL!

Bryan, Who Will Probably Be Indorsed -Work Mapped Out The actual work of the county convention tomorrow will not be great, though several matters may come up to precipitate the convention Into a warm affair. It is thought, however, that nothing exciting will occur and that the meeting will pass off as per arrangement. I Delegates to the state convention 1 have already been slated, and all! will .be elected with a few possible j exceptions. From Impressions galn- od by conversation with various members of the executive committee and politicians,! it is almost certain that Mr. Bryan's candidacy will be endorsed. The delegates will be in structed to vote for him in the state convention. There will not be a fight over Bryan In Wake county. Both Mr. Joyner and Mr, Young will get the twenty-four votes of the county in the state convention. For governor, Mr. KItchin will receive 11 votes, Mr. Home 9, and Mr. Craig 4. The apportionment of the votes to the various other candidates will be aa follows: For lleutenant-oovernor Blount, 14,45; Wood, 9.5fc. GKOKGK B.
