CHICAOO. Juns 13. Eight delegates
for Colonel Rodsevslt and II for Pres
ident Taft. marked the day's gains of
the two chief rivals for the Republican
Presidential nomination fcom the deci
sion of contests by the National com
mittee. The committee also settled dis
putes between rival Roosevelt factions
In two districts of North Carolina, thus
rlearlna the Colonel's title to votes
from these sections.
ft wss a day of Roosevelt victories,
but victories achieved with the full
acquiescence of the Taft majority on
the committee.
Mlaaoart laaaca Casaproaalaed.
Missouri's contests, which threatened
another battle between the Taft and
floosevelt factions, were compromised
so effectively that the committee was
unanimous In giving Roosevelt eight
and Taft six of the contested delegates
from that state. The decisions today
were:
For Tsft Two each from the Second,
Third. Fourth. Sixth, Seventh and
Kighth Mississippi districts: two each
from the Third, riaventh and Fourteenth
Jllnaourl districts. Total, la.
For Rooaevelt Four delegatea at
Urge from Missouri: two each from the
First and Fifth Missouri districts: two
each from the Third and Ninth North
Carolina districts. Total, It.
The committee haa now given Presi
dent Taft 16 delegates snd Colonel
Roosevelt 14.
Other t'asarasalaa Prabaale.
In the Ninth North Carolina district
the committee seated the McNlnch.
Ureene delegation, but the contest did
not Involve Presidential candidates, as
both delegations were Instructed for
Roosevelt.
The committee considered the Third
district contest and seated the two
Roosevelt delegates Marlon Butler and
V. K. O B. Robinson.
When adjournment was taken at 1:11
o'clock It waa the belief that the other
compromises could be effected to dis
pose of soma of the remaining contests.
In the Missouri cases, aa soon as tba
Roosevelt delegation at largo had been
seated, confersncec were undertaken
among the Missouri factions, which re
sulted In dividing contested district
delegations between Roosevelt and
Taft, Hlmilar conferences are expected
to result In the consolidation of sev
eral other atate cases,
VYashlaartoa aad Texas Opea.
Those compromises will not affect
Texaa or Washington, it la understood.
The contests remaining Involve two
delegatea from North Carolina, eight
from Tennessee, 10 from Texas, 20 from
Virginia. It from Washington, two
from Alaska, two from Oklahoma, two
from South Carolina and two from the
District of Columbia.
The Mississippi contests were hesrd
at the outset, the contests for all but
the Fifth and Eighth districts being
consolidated. Eean E. Ryman, attorney
for the Rooaevelt contestants, said It
would be shown that no. conventions
were held in these districts at which
Taft delegates were regularly elected.
Ryman declared the white votera In
the districts refused to allow negro
Votera to participate In any conven
tions. W. E. Morrison, a negro attorney,
asked the committee "to take such
action either to prevent the negro dele
gates being elected or to accept tbem
when they are elected,"
He asked the committee to reopen the
contests of the Mississippi delegates-at-large.
The committee took no action.
Ksrlnaloa af IVegreea Dealea.
For the Taft forces. W. J. Latham, a
negro, declared he had affidavits deny
ing that no notice was given of con
ventions to elect delegates from the
Second, Fourth. Sixth and Seventh dis
tricts. The affidavits showed, he said,
that a regular call waa Issued for the
conventions. Ha denied that Taft ad
herents had oppoaed negro votera or
had declined to have negroes partici
pate In the convention.
On a viva voce vote, the committee
then votad to aeat the eight Taft dele
gatea from the districts under consid
eration. A chorus of "noes" came from
the Roosevelt .side, but Victor Rose
water, chairman, ruled the motion car
ried. . The Fifth Mississippi District con
test waa called next.
During the discussion, Francis J.
TIeney had another Interchange with
Rosewater and other members of the
committee. Replying to a criticism of
his method of examining one of the
contestants, Heney called across the
room:
"I would like to get you on the wit
ness stand,"
"Mr. Heney will address his remarks
to the chair." said Rosewater.
"I am Just trying to protect myself,"
said Heney.
Reaaeat fer Rolleall Refaaea.
The Taft delegates from the Fifth
Mississippi district were seated by the
committee without a rolleall. Roose
velt adherents voting "No." A request
for a rolleall wss refused.

Eighth district, which waa settled
finally by agreement. Senator Borah
at ones denounced the making of any
agreement on the committee floor aa
"an insult and an outrage." The Taft
delegatea were seated.
The Missouri contests Involved It
seats In the convention. Governor
Hadley's Roosevelt delegstlon-at-large
waa challenged by the Taft supporters,
and Taft dalegatea from the First
Third. Fifth, Seventh and Fourteenth
Districts opposed the regular delega
tions Inatructsd for Taft.
Governor Hadley's Oelegatlon-at-large
numbered eight, selected by the
tate can vent I on to cast a half vote
each at the Chicago convention. The
Tat dtUiatlon-at-larfs, hsaded by
John C. Black, comprised four mem
bers. The case of the delegates-at-largs
opened the fight. Grant Ollleaple. at
torney for the contenting Taft dele
gates, took up the history of the Mis
souri state convention, at which Gover
nor Hadley's Roosevelt delegation waa
selected. The Taft forces, he said, had
controlled the state committee by 108
to 14 and had decided the contests on
the night before the convention.
Rooaevelt Majority Admitted.
Pressed by Governor Stubbs. Gilles
pie admitted the Roosevelt forces had
a majority of the state oonvantlon when
tba Hadley delegatea were elected and
that each of the delegates had received
a good majority of votes.
"But we claim that there were 121
Rooaevelt men in the convention who
had no legal right there," ha aald. "and
who had been aeated by the agreement
for harmony."
The eommlttee. by unantmoua vote.
and without a roll-call, declared the
Rooaevelt delegates-at-larga entitled t
aeata In the convention. The delegation
of eight waa divided, four being given
regular recognition and the other Jour
being named as alternates.
Committeeman Mulvane, of Kansas,
announced that ha had been Informed
some compromise might be agreed
upon as to the First. Third, r'lfth.
Seventh and Fourteenth Missouri dis
tricts. He obtained a ten-minute recess
while opposing attorneys consulted.
Despite this announcement, however,
the hearing on the First district pro
ceeded. Henry I I-eada, representing the
Taft contestants, asserted that at aome
of the county conventions which se
lected delegatea to the district con
venlon at Macon, April . the Taft
delegatea were not recognised, but
were supplanted on the credentials
committees by Roosevelt men. who
held proxies "not legally obtained,"
Charlea E. Rendlemen. who headed
the Roosevelt delegation, argued the
First District rase for his side. To
the district convention at Macon, he
aald, four countlea elected delegates to
vote for Rooaevelt delegates to the
National convention, but In each of
these counties the Taft forces held
"rump" conventions, not recognised by
the regular county committees, "which
Instructed for Taft delegatea to the
National convention."
"After the convention had selected
two Roosevelt delegatea, about 20 men
assembled in the hotel, snd after go
ing through the proceedings of elect
ing delegates, selected two alleged
Taft contestants." asserted Mr. Ren
dlemen. Kieatlesaea'a Agreesaeat" Rraehed.
At this point Bartholdt. of Missouri,
asked for a delay, saying there waa a
possibility of an agreement as to all
the Missouri district contests. Ex
Senator Dick, an attorney for the Taft
forces, and Governor Hadley held a
consultation outside the committee
room for five minutes and then re
turned. Chairman Rosewater waa about to
put a motion to aest the Roosevelt
delegates in the First District when
Mr. Bartholdt asked permission to
make a statement.
"Before the First Missouri district Is
acted upom" he said, "I wish to an
nounce that a "gentlemen'a agree
ment" haa been entered Into as to ill
the Missouri district contests." He
then moved ttist the Roosevelt dele
gates in the First and Fifth Districts
and the Taft delegatea In the Third.
Seventh and Eighth and Fourteenth
Districts be placed on the temporary
roll. The motion waa unanimously
carried.
The Third North Carolina District
contest was then called and without
argument, Marlon Butler, of Turkey,
N. C, and W. 8. O'B. Robinson, of
Ooldsboro. announced - as Roosevelt
delegatea, were seated without argu
ment by the' attorneys and without a
roll-call. Consideration of the Fourth
District contest was postponed.
In the Ninth North Carolina Dis
trict both sets of delegates were cred
ited to Roosevelt. The set headed by
I a. 3. McNlnch was seated.
Trie committee sojournment at
P. M. was explained by the committee
aa being due to the fact that It held
long aesslons each day and enough
progress had been made to dispose of
the contests within the time remain
ing before the National convention.

George Wlngfleld. who waa appointed
United States Senator yesterday by
Governor Oddle. to fill the vacancy
made by the death of George 8. Nixon,
has not accepted the appointment and
close friends say that he will not do
so. Wlngfleld, It Is said, would rather
wait two years and enter the cam
paign against Francla O. Nawlands
than to accept the present appoint
ment. Wlngfleld left Reno today on
a Ashing trip, saying that ha wished
to consider the subject before making
any final announcement. Before leav
ing be made the following atatement:
"I have not yet decided whether or
not I shall accept the honor which
Governor Oddle offered me. There are
many reaaona why I hesitate In making
a declalon. one of the moat Important
being the question of service to the
state. Whether I can be of more
service to Nevada by taking up the
unfinished work of Senator Nixon at
this time In Congress or by devoting
myself to the state's development In
the same manner as I have In the past
I am not aure.
"I appreciate the act of Governor
Oddle and I appreciate the cordial at
titude of the people In general. If I do
accept I shall, of course, work along
the same lines aa did Senator Nixon, i
am worn out at this time and before 1
arrive at a decision I am going to take
a few daya' vacation."
