( Secretary Hays Refers to Republican Party asj United and Says There Will Be no Bolt at' This Convention. I Coliseum, Lhiriuro, Juno Convention was called to order at 11:31 a. m. today. Soon afterwards Chairman Hayes appeared on the plat form and was Riveted with rounds of applause. After Hays rapped for order Eishop Woodcock, of Louis ville, Ky., o fie red the opening prayer. At the conclusion of the prayer the audience broke into the Star Spanjrled Banner at the request of the song lead er. Then three cheers were called for the greatest country on earth, the United States of America, and rolling cheers rocked the hall. Alter the official photograph, Secretary Miller read the con vention call. Secretary Hays then introduced Senator Lodge as temporary chairman, and after the cheers had died Sen ator Lodge began his keynote speech. It was the general under standing that agreement wouid be reached to accept the tern-1 porary organization and chair man as permanent, thus con tinuing the gavel in the hands jf Senator Lodge. Chairman Lodge's addrers was nunetiiated bv cheerino-l applause wnun was when he referred to the Kepab 1 ipi n n:i r1 v nf 1 XCiO Roars and cheers marked his declaration that everv one con- nected with the "dynasty Woodrow Wilson must of j be driven from power." William Jennings Bryan from the press table listened intently at Lodge's hot denunciation of Wilson and his associates, and stroked his chin thoughtfully but maintained a poker face. When Senator Lodge reached the hall he took his seat with the Massachusetts delegation where Speaker Gillette was talking with friends, and they had a brief conference in which Fred Upham, National Treas urer, joined. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., was ' amonc- trip earlv nlatform ar-1 - i I rivals, and on every side there Was evidence Of a new genera - tion in' politics, including the sons of Roosevelt, Leonard! Wood and Senator Aldrich and the grandson of James G. Blaine, who was sergeant-at-. arms. When the band began I to play "Dixie" Southern dele gates found their first oppor-j tunity for the rebel yell. ColJ George Harvey and Senator! Brandegee met on the platform j for a talk. Secretary Hays in opening! the convention said he could-report progress, and by next No- ember the majority of the Re publican party should be at least .".,000,000. "In spirit," he said. "I report more than pro gress. 1 report fulfillment. The great party of the union ha: become a union. It shall con tinue. There will be no bolt at this convention." John M.

(Special to The Advance) The North Carolina dele gation can cussed on committee as signments today and the friends of John .Motley Morehead were all placed on the several convention com mittees. Hue to K. Carl Duncan's physical condition, .Morehead had him named on the committee to notify the Pres idential nominee. Duncan gave this place to I. .M. Meekins. Duncan requested the privilege in the event of his absence from the convention to designate his alternate. C. R. l'ugh being the first alter nate at large followed the example of Morehead and accorded Duncan that privilege. Chicago, June 8. Unique in the annals of the party, the Republican National Convention assembled to day unbossed and unbridled, with no presidential candidate having enough votes in sight to assure the nomina tion. j 1111s miivt'iiiiuu ooiiuses iu ut: u I record breaker in all respects and 'may cast more ballots than any Ile- 1,111,1 "iii convention since Garfield was nominated in lXU when 3fi were cast before the party stan-,!,.-,! i ..... .. i ) I witiu iii iii, i ii n v. 1 1 v,s 1 1 , Overnight reports and rumors from uiie in to-day, but dele gation headipiarter-i could .-bed no . light on t he situation. i A triangular deadlock be, ween Wood.
