Chicago, 111., June 5. Practically all
of the members of the Republican Na
tional Committee are In Chicago In
readiuess to begin the bearing of del
egate's contests tomorrow. The func
tion of the National Committee Is al
ways Important, because it decides in
advance wbo are to have seats when
the convention is called to order. In
other wards it makes up the tempor-
ary run. iik " uenauy im-,

With upwaras or 250 contests to con

committee will find it necessary to1

continue its nearings almost up to the
day tbe convention assembles.
Regular Court to Role.
In hearing the contests, the Nation
al Committee will sit as a court.
At-'
torneys will represent tbe opposing
i
sides, and they will argue their case J
and introduce as much testimony as
time will permit, both In the form of
affidavits and of oral witnesses. After
vne lemmioDy is ail in tne attorneys
will sum up in closing arguments,
and then it will be left to the commit -
tee, by majority vote, in executive ses.
sion, to determine which side is right.
FrouT the committee's decision there'
is no appeal, for the committee must '
ae up the temporary roll call of the
convention, and there can be no regu
larly organized 'convention until the
committee's roll is submitted and ad
I
opted. . '
Fifty-Three Are Committee.
The National Committee is com-
posed of fifty-three members, one;
from each of the forty-eight .states, j
and one each from the Dlstrlot -of Col-
I
inej! and Porto Rico. Much specula'
ton has been Indulged In concerning !
tbe personal preferences of the com-
mitteemen on the' question of presi-
dential nomination. The majority have
been claimed for both Taft and RooRe-
velt. On the other hand, those, who
are best acquainted with the person-
ne of the committee are If the opinion
that each contest will .be decided upon
the evidence. They believe that, the
cases will be settled as they would be
settled In a court of equity and that
tne delegates entitled to eats in tbe
convention will be seated. In a gen-
eral way Senator Dixon and Represen-
tative McKinley, the rival campaign
managers, will look after the contests,
Rut those more directly In charge will
be Ex-Senator Charles Dick, of Ohio,
9 will look after the interests of
President Taft, and Ormsby B. McHarg
of New York, who will serve in a slm-
liar capacity for Colonel Roosevelt,

SILK INDUSTRY GROWS
Fancy Mukes of British Silk to Be on
"Parade" in London. '
London, June 5. The first public
exhibition ever held In connection with
the silk Industrie! of the United King
dom was opened today at the Princes'
Skating Rink. Tbe exhibition ia held
under the auspices of the British Silk
Association, which was founded twenty-five
years ago by a body of repre
sentative women. Including several
members of the royal family, who
were desirous of encouraging and
stimulating the silk Industry as much
as lay within their power.
Few British manufactories pros
pered more than the making of silk,
although tbe industry does not occupy
the important place that it did years
ago. Silk was manufactured in Eng
land In tbe reign of James I., who
took a great interest in the welfare of
tbe industry, but It was not until 1685,
when the revocation of the edict of
Nantes sent a stream of prosectued Hu
guenotjs Into England, tbat the trade
reached the zenith of Its prosperity
and importance. Among tbe refugees
were many skilled weavers, and they
established themselves In Spitalflelds,
where they set up looms In their own
homes. For a century and a half this
colony was the center of the silk trade
in England, after which period the in
dustry gradually declined until It can
no longer be looked upon as a nation
al asset. Of late years the output has
been limited, though tbe higher grades
cf British i!ks are still looked upon
