Typewritten Arguments hy Roosevelt Forces Evidently Lay Foundation for Justification of Bolt. COLISKUM. CHICAGO, June 18. Victor Hoficwatcr proved himself n capable engineer for the Taft steatn roller todny when, nfter extended do bnte. in which the Hoosovelt forcesj evidently laid by cnrefully prepared typewritten speeches, tho jimtificati.n for a bolt, ho declared out of order a motion to substitute the Roosevelt list of delegates for thoso selected by the national committee. I lay ward concluded tho rendiiig o the call, at 12:23, and immediately Governor Hadley of Missouri was recognized. Ho btood on fiis chair n minute and then pressed forward through the press enclosure lo the platfonn, while the Pennsylvania nnd other delegates cheered him. Kosc water nnd I fay ward shook hands with Handlcy, nnd ho started to read n typewritten document. As ho did so, William Barnes, junior, got to his feet nnd sheuted: "Mr. Chairman 1 I rise to a point of order." Hmlley Stnriw the Fun, Hosewnter paid no attention to LjSarne:;,. nntl Hadley proceeded, sny- in;?: "Mr. Chnirmnn, I rise to a question of order. I desiro to know whctlur the temporary roll hns been properly framed." Hero James Watson, of Indiana, the Taft parliamentarian, broke in, witli a point of order that thcro could be nothing properly put before tho convention until it has been formally organized. Kosewatcr ruled tho point of order well taken, but said that ho was willing to listen to arguments on the question. Hadley said: "I roso to a question of information and there was nothing before the house nt tho time. I movo that the list of delegates, prepared by the national committee, known ns tho temporary roll, bo nmonded in tho following particulars, by substituting the following list of delegates, nnd that the list known as No. 2, bo known as the list of temporary delegates for this convention." Point of Order Ilulc! Wntsou renewed his point of order that Hailley's motion was out of order until a proper organization of thu 'invention had been effected. Hosewnter declared that tho motion appeared to the chair to bo well taken but said that he wns willing each side should havo twenty minutes in which to debate the question. Governor Hadley then called for Governor Fort of New Jersey and Governor Dcnecn to tho platfonn, and at tho snina time, Representative Su reno E. Payne, of New York, strug gled up to the platform, after consid erable effort, taking his place beside Jim Watson in tlio ranks of tho cotn uiittco on pniliumontnry "sharps." Both sides had been expecting this parliamentary question, nnd hud all othor data thero typewritten ready for use. Hadley Starts Debate Governor Hadley started tho debute for tho Hoosovelt forces.
