As the roll call on the question of tabling the Hadley motion to substi tute the minority report for the ma jority report progressed It was plain that It would carry, a progressive state cast its vote with the Taft men. The Idaho result caused a suspen sion for a few minutes, while the Taft men cheered nnd yelled. But It was only a flash In the pan to what the excitement was when Wisconsin voted 15 ayes, with one delegate ab sent. Wisconsin's committeeman had vot ed with the majority in this case. As on the first roll cal,i there was another call for. the absentees on de mand from the floor, and tho Vote was finally announced: Ayes 005, noes 464, not voting 9. The announcement that the Taft strength, so far 08 the organization of the convention was concerned, had paused the 000; mark, -resulted in., a -wlld cheering episode.

The varsity four-oared race was next on the card. The varsity eight wired race was scheduled for 6 o'clock. The official time for the freshman eights was - 10 minutes and 62 sec onds. Harvard simply outclassed Vale In the 'varsity fours . The crim son took the lead at the start Bnd von by fully 20 lengths. Toward the last quarter of the two-mile course Yale made a game spurt, but had no chance.

Root then put the question of adop tion of the majority report seating the Taft delegates in the ninth Alabama district, and It was declared carried by a viva voce vote. Root then annonnced that a further report on another contest would be ready In a few minutes. He Instruct ed Clerk Gleaaon to tell the dele gates and the galleries through his megaphone, that "meanwhile the con ventlon will rest arms." ThlB, the first Joke of the session from the dignified senator, brought a roar of laughter from both camps, The majoilty report in the Arizona case recomr"mded the seating of the Taft delegates at large. This was another caee that hinged entirely on technicalities, and wsether the state convention was regular or not, and the majority aud minority reports went duplications of the statements made by the two factions when the national committee decided in the Taft men's favor.

UNITED PRESS t.EARKD Willi. 1 Coliseum, Chicago, June 21. Con clusive proof that the Taft follower. have the votes to .eat all of their contested delegates in the Republi can convention was furnished today when C0r. delegates voted to seat the Taft delegates in the ninth Alabama district. This was the first district that Colonel Roosevelt declared was stolen from him, and the unusually high vote greatly pleaBed the Taft men. After the vote in the Alabama case was announced the leader, of the Roosevelt force, held a conference to determine whether It would put into effect the non-partlclpatlng program adopted by thorn. The settlement of the Alabama cases came after weari some parliamentary maneuvering, In which two record roll calls werfl forced. The Taft machine held throughout. The second case on which the Is sues were joined was the Arizona contest. Every effort Is being made by the convention leader, to force thing. through so that final adjournment may be reached, If possible, by to morrow night. Most of the conservative leader. today declared that they felt certain that President Taft would be the nominee. William Haines, Jr., the New York leader, whose loyalty, to the presi dent of the I'nlted Slates bad been questioned, said at 2:4.": "I am satisfied that Mr. Taft will bo nominated. New York I. now tut Isfled, as It was generally accepted that If New York landed the nomlna tlon for the president, It would de mand that Vlce-Prenldent Sherman nlso be renominated, although John Hayes Hammond and John Wsnamak er are being considered by the dele gates."

A minority report of the rules committee was being propared today greatly to reduce the number of delegates from the "solid South."

They propose to allow one delegate for each 10,000 Republi can vote. cast. This would cut Texas' representation, for Instance, from 40 to 6. The Roosevelt members of the rule, committee are lined up for the amendment Another radical change in the rules, suggested by the minority, Is a declaration for ''states' rights" in naming national committeemen, a plan to give each slate authority to elect Its committeeman In any way it may elect. The most drastic change In the rule, as agreed to by both the major ity and minority, Is thnt giving the national committee power to re move from that body any commltee- man who refuse, to support the nom inee of the party, The Taft men refused to permit the Roosevelt forces to get any sup port from the women of the country that Is denied to them, and they have adopted a plunk which puts the party on record as favoring the de cisions by the voters of every state on the question of whether they want woman suffrage or not The plank of the sub-commit tec provides that the question shall be disposed of on lis merits and not killed through technicalities. In ad dition to Ignoring the demand of Ham uel Gompers and other labor leaders that the convention place the party on record as fnvorlng the prohibition of the use of the Injunction In labor cases without full notification and hearing both sides, the siib-eomml!tse passed up the Initiative, referendum and rerall. A strong plank opposing the recall of the judiciary was sub' milted to the sub-coriinilttee, but was the consensus of opinion of the mem ber, that It would be unwise to try to place the party on record on this proposition ot the present time. There was a chance, however, that tha demand for the plunk would be renewed before the convention.
