GREAT DEMAND FOR TAFT Candidate May Change Programme and Tour Middle States local Speakers to Conduct Cam paign in Early Stages. CHICAGO, Sept. S. Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock of the Republican National Committee announced tonight that, when Mr. Taft goes from Sandusky to Cincin nati on Tuesday, the candidate will meet the people at all points where stops are made by the Big Four train. Mr. Taft will leave Sandusky at 1:40 P. M. The train stops at all stations between San dusky and Carey, and at about a dosen points between Carey and Cincinnati. Big Gnns Wait Till October. Most of the speakers of National prom inence who will take the stump for Taft and Sherman will not be available until about October 1. and until then the campaigns In the doubtful states will be managed by local speakers. Senators Bevertdge and Borah and Leslie M. Shaw. ex-Secretary of the Treasury, and perhaps Secretary Garfield, will probably be ready by October 15. A few speeches by these men will be made later. Vice President Fairbanks and Speaker Can non are expected to make political ad dresses outside of their own states, be ginning October J, and Senators Foraker, La Follette and Knox and Governor Hughes will start out the same week. In addition to these, practically all mem bers of Congress who will make up the volunteer speaking force have agreed to arrange their pll.ns so as to speak constantly for the' last month of the campaign. Speakers M ill Be Tald. Mr. Hitchcock today corrected the im pression that the volunteer speaking force is to be used to tne exclusion of paid speakers. He said today that negotiations are proceeding to secure the best Re publican speakers In the country, and that many of these will be paid for their services. They will be used during the last two weeks. The speakers' bureau In the West has been besieged by demands from every doubtful state that Mr. Taft. Mr. Sher man and prominent Senators be sent into the campaign. It is an indication of political interest. It is Mr. Taft's de termination ' to remain In Cincinnati dur ing October. It Is possible, however, that late in the campaign, perhaps the last two weeks in October, he may maks a number of short speaking trips Into the Middle West states. The chairmen of the Middle West ex ecutive committees wtll meet in Chicago, when Mr. Hitchcock comes here aealn, soon after September 15. Until this date Mr. Hitchcock expects to remain in the East, Another Literary Chief.

I In an explana tory statement which was a comprehen sive denial.

The only basis for any sucb statement that I can recall Is this: As I was leaving the hotel to take the train for Cincinnati last evening, a gentleman Introduced himself to me and told me he represented the Toledo Times and that the Associated Press was sending out a long story, some 2000 words as I now re member his statement, giving an account of an agreement that had been entered into as a basts for peace between Judge Taft and myself and he wanted me to give him my version of the story. "I told him there had been no agree ment of any kind, neither made nor sug gested: that there- was no trouble be tween Judge Taft and myself; thst the trouble so much talked about In the news papers was manufactured: that I had not made, at any time, any request of Judge Taft and he had not made any of me; that we had met on the reviewing stand (Concluded oa raa 4-1 Neck and Neck Races for Republican Nomination for Governor Keep People In Suspense.

(Special.) Determined to prevent the election of Governor Cummins for the. short teem for United States Senator and thus to balk the progressives of a victory, 40 standpat members of the Legislature have oonjured up the danger of Demo cratic success In the election next No vember as ground for not . going into caucus. They threaten to stay out of the cau cus and thus block the nomination of Cummins as the Republican candidate. Their argument Is that his election would so disgust many Republican voters that they would stay away from the polls or support Democratic candidates for the Legislature. This, they say, would give the Democrats a majority and cause the election of a Democratic Senator for the full term.
