MISSOURI VOTE Claimed by Both Roosevelt andTaft Factions. AH EASY VICTORY PREDICTED JrJiiuui'H Indicate ItooMi-i-tit Now I In Kual (liiiim- Krie Itiill riwl Huh Itiriliday Cot ton Men Meet. ST. J,OIJIS, Mo., April. With both Uooseveu and Tuft leaders clalinlng control there is every In dication of un Interesting session when the republican state convention h held horn tomorrow to name Mis souri's four delegates-at-large to the republican national convention. The convention will have 1157 delegates and It will take f77 votes to con trol. Tho Taft managers cluim 707 voUm and concede 444 to Roosevelt. The Jloosevolt managers claim 7 1 5 and concede 4H8 to Tuft. In both these estimates are Included the con tested delegates and the uuinstriicted dwUitcs, of which latter there are a considerable number. A month ago . tho Taft forces believed they would have an easy victory, but tho recent .primaries, particularly in St. Louis, which will have 247 delegates in the convention, made it apparent that Roosevelt had nt. least an ciiial chance of winning out. Today the Roosevelt people are brimful of con fldence. So close appears the con tost that many tarty leaders predict that the convention will send the dH-egale-nt-large to Chicago without lu- fitructions for any pn-hdcutial candi date. Frlc It. It.
