Either Roosevelt or La FoUette to Sense of Vnoffk laJ Call Seat Out to t- the Oregon Republican State Central Committeemen The ' Session Will Provide for Two Congressional Dis trict Conventions to Select Party Relegates. Portland, April 1. (Special corres pondence.) The republican state cen tral committee Is summoned to meet i In Portland April 10, to call a state convention and to name the number of delegates that every county In the state may send to that convention. The republican state convention will choose tour delegates at large (or the . national convention; also four candi-J 1 dates for presidential electors. The . state central committee also will pro vide for conventions in the two con gressional districts, each district nam ing two delegates, which gives Oregon, altogether, a total of eight delegates in the national convention. Eight al ternates will be named to take the place of .delegates who cannot be In Chicago on June 18. Every republican who takes part In the county primaries and convention will have a choice' in naming P.oose velt's successor. Without waiting for the call of the state central committee, several coun ties of Oregon already have held their conventions and elected delegations to attend the stats convention. These J delegates no doubt will bs accepted at the state convention as the county committeemen assented to the call of these conventions. The Marion county convention re fused to pass a resolution Instructing for Taft. So far no convention In Ore gon has Instructed for either Taft or Hughes. Many- delegates are known to be In favor of the renomlnatlon of Roosevelt or the nomination of La Follette; and the Oregon state conven tion Is likely to Instruct accordingly. La Follette'a recent speeches In the senate on the currency bill have mul tiplied his constituency over the entire country. He Is a favorite In the west Every republican In Oregon should attend his county - convention and should see that the right kind of men are sent to the state convention. The responsibility rests upon every voter. Not much time remains to act and to organise. ' TUE FOREIGNERS PORT AU PRINCE 13 SEAT OP TROUBLE.

Armed guards now fill the French legation here and the Hayttan government will remove no refugees from under 'the French flag without fight. This no tice was conveyed to President Alexts today by a messenger from M. Car terou, the French consul. The guard is suupusea to nave been lanaea un- der darkness from the cruiser d'Ester ees, which recently departed for St. Thomas with refugees, but which is now headed back at top speed. There was a renewed rush of refu gees to the French flag today on In formation which the consul considers convincing that a number of suspected anti-government plotters were shot yesterday without the formality of a trial. Word has reached both the American and French legations that blacks are being Incited to rise against the whites by General Colcou. Minis' ter Furnlss does not believe such an attack will be made, but advises all Americans to- keep off the streets as much as possible. Marines on the cruiser Des Moines are being kept ready for quick action and the same condition prevails on the German cruiser Bremen. A clash is dally expected between Manager Relnhold of the German Fi nancing company, and President Al exia Relnhold Is pushing a claim for $300,000 and Interest, .which his com pany has against the Haytlan govern ment. Alexis says he holds counter claims. The property In question Is the Port au Prince street railway. Paso Robles, April 2.
