IXlL'IfVIIXE, Ky., April 11. Ker
tucky's four delegates at large to ti
Republican National convention wer
Instructed to vote for President Taft
by the state convention here this aft
ernoon, but the Roosevelt leaders In
Kentucky will carry a contest to the
National convention In an effort to un
seat them.
The action of the convention completes
the Kentucky delegation of IS. of
which 13 are Instructed for Taft and
three for Roosevelt, four of Taf t s
district delegates and two of Roose
velt's are contested.
The delegates from the state at large
are Senator V. O. Bradley, ex-Atlorney-General
James Hreethitt. W. D. Coch
ran and J. K- Wood.
The convention Indorsed the Presi
dents policies and Instructed the dele
gates unqualifiedly to support him In
the convention.
Contrary to expectations, the con
vention proved to be one of the quiet
est ever held In the state. The ex
pected bolt of the Roosevelt f.v-tion did.
not take pla-e. The Roosevelt dele
gates decided to remain in the conven
tion, but to protest the adoption of the
report on the contests made by the
committee on credentials and to carry
the fight to Chicago without offering;
a contesting delegation.

V ntil March I, 1913.
WASHINGTON. April 11. A ruling
from the Department of Justice as to
whether the electoral college that will
choose the next President of the I'nited
States shall consist of i'.'U or f3i mem
bers has been asked for by members
of the House committee on Judioiary.
Political activity In both parties has
prceeded on the assumption that the
larger number was correct, but this
now is questioned on the ground that
the reapportionment of Congress does
not become effective until March 4
next. -
The question has created confusion,
but It will not affect the conventions,
as the National committee fixed the
number of delegatesarhltararily in ac
cordance with tiie new apportionment.
The question was raised by a pub
lisher engaged in preparing an elec
toral chart. When presented to offi
cials of the House and Senate ,-omi
State Department, the basis of 40 was
declared to be correct.
Nominations for the electoral col
lege already have been made In sev
eral states on the basis of the new ap
portionment of Congress.
The Constitution of the Cnited States
provides that the electoral college shall
be based on the number of Senators
and Representatives to which the

Pcnrosc Idea Aids T. It.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa., April 11.
(Special.) Pennsylvania will, on Sat
urday, elect 6 of her 7 National del
egates. Representatives to the state
convention will name the other 13 and
all these will practically b for Taft, as
It Is not conceivble that, with the ma
chinery of the Republican Party In tlie
hands of Senator Penrose, the control
of this body will be taken from him
at this time.
With a nucleus of a drtxen delegates
at large, the President will In all prob
ability capture three of the six Phila
delphia districts, giving him six more
votes in the convention. The orcanixa
tion expects to elect 10 of the 12 mem
bers from this city.- but because of the
recent reform wave and the poly of
the present Administrate nto hold
aloof. It is more than likely that Roose
velt will break even here.
In Pittsburg the same situation ex
ists and Taft and Roosevelt will divide
the delegates between tliem, so that
the President "will then have 22 votes
outside of the country districts. Here
is where the fight will center. It is
not so much antl-Taft as It Is anti
Penrose and there Is no way of fore
casting what the silent vote is going
to be.
