Chosen to Oppose Root
for Chairmanship.
CHICAGO. June 11. Th "Missouri
compromise" decision and the unexpect
ed adjournment of the Republican Na
tional committee early this afternoon
brought about a aituatlon full of un
certainty and conflicting rumor which
laated throughout the evening and re
fused to cryetalllae Into definite form.
Explanations trareraed a long and
varied scale all the way from the
statement that the compromise and
sudden adjournment presaged a gen
eral getting togetlier or the Taft and
Roosevelt factions, to the naive theory
that It waa to give the convention car
penters a chance to finish their saw
. Ing and hammering In the neighbor
hood of the committee-room.
Taft Forces "Taking Sleek."
The explanation which best fits the
known fact la that the Taft support
ers were glad to take advantage of the
three or four hours of time saved by
the compromise on the Missouri cases
to take account of stock and prepare
for the big struggle over the Texas
and Washington contests. '
Iloosevelt supporters professed to be
greatly elated over the aeatlng of their
delegates-at-large from Missouri and
said the outcome In tb whole Missouri
business exceeded their most sanguis
hope. The Taft people, on the other
hand, seemed to take the outcome com
placently and abated none of their
claims on that account.
Mystery fterrwaad Actios).
As the members of the committee be
gan to arrive at the Congress Hotel
this afternoon from the adjourned
meeting, they were surrounded and
nressed for an explanation of the sud-
' den adjournment. Arthur J. Vorys. of
Ohio, who had not been present at the
meeting, was Impressed by the news
and at one sought out Senator Crane.
The Senator allayed Mr. Vorys' appre
hension by suggesting that the com
mittee adjourned to give attorney
time to prepare other cases. Senator
Borah, of Idaho, said he did not kjiow
the reason for the sudden adjourn
ment snd said It was at the request
of Senator Crane.
The Idaho Senator said he thought
It possible some of the committee lead
era had been fooled on evidence in the
Missouri contest and wished to look
carefully Into the evidence In the
Washington and Texas contests before
bringing them up In the committee, for
action. These contests, like Missouri,
were instituted by the Taft forces.
Members Tired, Oar fraae.
"Senator Crsne told me." said Sen
ator Borah, "that the members of the
committee were tired, that he thought
time could be gained by adjourning for
the day and arranging to consolidate
some of the contests and that the at
torneys wished to Investigate several
contests."
Senator Dixon took a different view.
He said that Taft leader on the com
mittee had been frightened by deser
tions from their own ranks.
"I positively know," said Mr. Dixon,
"that two members of the National
committee who have been voting with
the steam roller served notice last
night that they would go no further
In unseating Iloosevelt delegates who
had been regularly chosen. I know
who they are and could name them If
I would. There are other members of
the committee who cannot stand the
strain much longer. That's why Pen
rose and Crane fled to cover this aft
ernoon to counsel on a charge of
plans."
4 ealeota te lie Reviewed.
The Koosevelt campaign manager
concluded his statement with the dec
laration that the Roosevelt forces
would control the temporary organisa
tion of the convention and that Roose
velt would be nominated. The Senator,
however, admitted the Roosevelt forces
might not control the credentiala com
mittee, because each member of that
committee Is selected by his state dele
gation. "All the evidence In all the contest
will have to be gone over again," said
Mr. Dixon, "and there may be Taft men
in the credentiala committee who will
not stand for steals of Roosevelt dele
fates like th steal In Kentucky and In
California. These contest will be
fought out to the finish before the ere
lentlal committee and maybe we will
int nominate a candidate for ten day

of the Army, begun by the late Mareus

were part of a series of sensational In
cidents whioh attended the adoption by
the House today of the Army appro

whose son-in-law, Brigadier-General
Pershing, would be one .of the first of
ficers In line for General Wood's of
fice If President Taft signed the bill
which deposes the chief of staff, al
