BULL MOOSE CAUSE WORRY Many Progressive State Delegations Favor Prompt Nomination ol Colonel . and Adjournment, Whatever G. O. P. May Do, CHICAGO, June 1. Political support rs of Roosevelt and Hughes were Ju bilant tonight over tho defeat of the attempt made by certain members of the Republican National Committee to have the contests over delegates heard by sub-committees, instead of by the lull committee, which always has de cided these disputes. When Chairman Hilles suggested that sub-committees be named to go over the documents In the contests so that the full committee need not waste time considering trivial disputes, the Roose velt and Hughes supporters scented a possible plot to have the contests con sidered in secret sessions, and vigor ously protested. T. R. and Hug-he Forces Unite, Senator Reed Smoot, National com mitteeman from Utah, and a Hughes supporter, led the fight against the plan and succeeded in having the mo tion voted down. Roosevelt and Hughes forces in the committee Joined hands to defeat the plan and claimed an important victory in the first scrim mage with the organization. Chairman Hilles and managers of the "favorite son" candidates professed to see no significance in the action and insisted that the only purpose of the appoint ment of sub-committees was to expedite the hearings. Republican leaders today began to Inquire what action will be taken by the Progressive National Convention, which meets June 7. They are trying to get some definite information as to whether Colonel Roosevelt really in tends to run for President as the can didate of the Progressive party, in the event another man Is chosen by the Republicans. Moose Threaten to Aame Colonel. Harold I Ickes, committeeman from Illinois in' the Progressive party, de clared that he favored nominating Roosevelt, regardless of any action taken by the Republicans. He said Roosevelt was the first and only choice of the Bull Moosers for President and that he believed Roosevelt would be nominated. "Word was received from numerous Bull Moose state delegations that they favored nominating Roosevelt on the first ballot and adjourning to the con - vention without waiting to see what the Republicans may do. George W. Perkins, chairman of the executive committee of the Progressive party. In a statement made tonight, said: "There is no denying the fact that many or our delegates are In favor of nominating Roosevelt without waiting. Just what will be done, no one can tell at this time. Mr. Perkins Favors Waiting. Personally, I am in favor of waiting until we see the temper and atmosphere of the Republican convention before making a nomination. I stand by the statement Issued by the Progressive National Committee last January. I am here in a spirit of conciliation and hoping that the Republicans may nom lnate a candidate and adopt a platform that we can indorse. I think we should confer with the Republican leaders in an effort to reach a satisfactory agree ment. I have talked to none of the Re publican leaders, but I expect to be fore we get through." There were more active workers for Roosevelt than all the other candidates combined in evidence -around conven tlon headquarters today. Tho effect of the campaign being made by the Roosevelt business men's organizations in the different states. in sending telegrams and writing let ters to delegates urging them to vote Sot Roosevelt either on the first or second ballots was a topic of general discussion. Some delegates expressed tho opinion that the campaign might prove a boomerang, while others de clared .that the appeal of the business men would influence many votes in the convention. Suffragists May Query Hashes. Mrs. Antoinette Funk, representing the American Woman . Suffrage As eociation. asked Frank H. Hitchcock to telegraph Justice Hughes and ob tain his views on National woman suffrage. Mr. Hitchcock declined and explained that he would not undertake to obtain the views of Mr. Hughes on a political question at this time. Mrs, Funk said she might telegraph Mr. Hughes on her own responsibility. State Chairman Charles A. Rawson of Iowa, in charge of campaign head quarters of Senator Cummins, gave out a statement claiming 106 votes for Cummins on the first ballot, as fol lows: Iowa 26; Minnesota 24; Nebras Ja 16: South Dakota 10: Montana 8 -HICAGO.

Hilles. . , Edward C Toner, one of the dele- gates-at-large from Indiana, Is in Chi cago, Joined with the Fairbanks forces at the Congress Hotel. Mr. Toner for merly was one of the most active Pro gressive leaders In the Hoosler state. During the 1915 campaign he was chairman of the Indiana Progressive ptate committee.. He is now - an en thusiastic booster in the Fairbanks camp. Phil H. Brown. of Hopklnsvlle.

PRE - CONVENTION DAYS' SIDELIGHTS one Is for Colonel Roosevelt and the other 18 practically -are uninstructed but are for the man who will do the best for Oklahoma. Perpetual control of the Philippines by the United States Is what the Re publicans in the Islands demand. Colo nel Bayard McCoy, National Commit teeman from the Archipelago, an nounced today. He said the Filipino delegates there are two to the con vention and two other residents of the island will Join him here, in a few days to fight for a plank in the Re publican platform opposing "free the Philippines bunk." . Senator John W. Weeks, of Massa chusetts, claims the distinction of be ing the only Presidential candidate who is a delegate-at-large to the conven tion. O. E. Weller, of Baltimore, and George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, Senator Weeks' managers, also are delegates-at-large to the convention. Tho Chicago Club, which never has opened Its doors to any manner of pub lic entertainment, not even to prom inent vistors to the World's Fair, has notified Fred Upham that it will be at the disposal of convention folks. Ralph H. Cameron, National commit teeman from Arizona, looking more like a Wall street broker than a West ern mining man, breezed in from the desert country. "Root, Burton and Weeks are the favorites down our way, with senti' ment about equally divided," he said. "We don't look- upon the talk about Justice Hughes with any great favor. We think Hughes is in a good place now." . SENATE VOTES 111 FAVOR OF BRANDEIS Nomination to Place on Su preme. Court Bench Con firmed, 47 to 22. BITTER CONTEST IS ENDED Arkansas 10; Wyoming 2; California 6; Oklahoma Sixty-four second choice votes are claimed as follows: North Dakota, 9; Wisconsin, 18; Ore gon, 10; Washington, 14, and Michigan, 15. We believe that the fight between Roosevelt and Hughes, which is grow ing in bitterness every day, will make it inexpedient for party success to nominate either," said Mr. Rawson. "In that event we think the convention will turn to Cummins as a man who can unite all factions and win." Root Forces Make Claims. A statement issued by the Root head quarters claims a majority of the New York delegation for Uihu Root on the first ballot. James R. Sheffield, George R. Sheldon and J. Bloat Fassett, delegates from. New York, and Cor nelius N. Bliss, an alternate from the same state, were visitors at the Root headquarters. Mr. Bliss said: "The business men of New York are for Mr. Root. They believe he is the man to handle the big questions which are . coming up during the next four years and which will vitally affect all business. Mr. Root, If nominated, will carry New York by a tremendous majority." Complaint was made to those in charge of Chicago's preparedness parade to be held Saturday that friends of Roosevelt were planning to use the demonstration to advance the interests of their candidate. The charge is made that large electric signs bearing Roosevelt's name are being erected along the line of march and that thousands of banners with Roosevelt's name on them have been purchased for distribution among the marchers. Those In charge of the parade declare that every effort will be made to pre vent the demonstration being used for political purposes. The recently appointed nooseveii Republican committee of Illinois busi ness men, headed by J. Ogden Armour, of Chicago, held its first meeting here today and adopted resolutions urging Roosevelt's nomination for President by the Republican National conven tion. ROOT GAINS IB VOTES Georgia Delegation Favoring Hughes Not Seated. STUBBORN BATTLE FOUGHT Contingent Denied Place in Con vention Open Supporters of Justice- Early Disposal of Other Cases to Be Made. DELEGATES 0 TO HUGHES (Continued From First Page.) ELL-AMS 'Absolutely Removes Indigestion. One package proves it 25c at all druggists. : understanding with the Republicans is evidenced further by the studied effort that has been made to avoid saying anything of a formal character that would put the Progressive party in a position where It would be unaoie to Indorse Hughes. While the Roosevelt people are advancing plenty of argu ments In support of their contention that the Colonel would make stronger candidate than Hughes and while they are straining every nerve to smoke the Justice out, they are obviously refraining from going on record In any way that would prevent them from considering an Indorsement of Hughes in the event of his nomlna tion. In fact, many regard as significant the fact that some persons in the Progressive camp were today citing reasons why they might consistently line up behind Hughes if he were nom inated on the Republican ticket. It was pointed out, for instance, that Hughes never had been popular with the so-called "old guard"; that they were, in fact, always opposed to him, and would not accept him now. were it not seemingly necessary on the ground of political expediency. T. H. Men Still Flahtlng-. The argument was advanced by these Progressives that It would be possible for them to contend after indorsing Hughes that the purpose of the Pro gressives had been at least partly ac compllshed, in that the old-time leaders had been forced to take Hughes against their wishes. For anyone to suppose, however, that Colonel Roosevelt's friends have any thought of giving up the fight in his behalf would be foolish. There is every evidence that Roosevelt's campaign for the nomination has Just begun and that It will be carried on with all the vigor and resourcefulness of . the able men who are promoting the candidacy of the ex-President. The sole purpose of the Roosevelt managers now is to prevent the nom ination of Justice Hughes on an early Daiiot in the Republican convention. Roosevelt Forces Want Deadlock. They are bending every effort to stave off the selection of Mr. Hughes until alter the third Ballot and they contend that if this can be accom plished and they believe It can be the strength of the Justice will dlsin tegrate and Colonel Roosevelt will run away with the situation. In this connection many of the Re publican leaders who arrived here to day were inclined to find fault with the campaign being conducted by the favorite sons or so-called allies. The allies are laboring under the Inures slon that if they can eliminate Hughes from the situation they will be able to "stop Roosevelt," and the selection will be made from their own number. Some or the Republican leaders who ar rived here today characterized this be lief as "silly" and set about warning the representatives of the allies that with Hughes eliminated the delegates would turn to Colonel Roosevelt, who wouia-goDDie tnera up in short order. John W. McGrath. Colonel Roosevelt' secretary, arrived in Chicago today, and he already has developed into a figure ot considerable importance. He looked upon as Colonel Roosevelt's ner sonal representative, authorized to do the necessary dickering with the Re publican leaders. Mr. McGrath had no conferences today, but spent the day In getting nis Dearings. While the general drift seemed plain ly in the direction of Justice Hughes today. It is apparent that many of th leaders are in a badly befuddled con ditlon. CHICAGO. June 1. Sixteen prospec tive votes for Justice Charles E. Hughes in the Republican convention went by the board today when the National committee voted to seat the Henry S. Jackson delegation, of Geor gia. The action was taken after a lvely contest which lasted more than ix hours and In which it was neces sary to determine the personnel of the Georgia state committee. A delegation representing the Walter H. Johnson "wine" of the 'party in Georgia fought a stubborn battle. Each delegation came to Chicago unln structed, but It has . been generally understood that the Johnson delega tion was prepared to support Justice Hughes, while the Jackson delegates were friendly to the candidacy of Sen ator Root, with John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, as second choice. Previous to the consideration of the Georgia case the convention disposed of seven protests In Alabama, six res ular delegates-at-large being seated while a protesting delegate from the Ninth Congressional District was re turned a winner. The session of the committee lasted from 10:30 A. M. until 8:30 P. M. without a recess, the last six hours being occupied with the Georgia case, which involved the en tire delegation from that state. The determination of the committee to dispose of the remainder of the 62 contests early was made manifest when It was voted to start tomorrow's ses slon at 9 o'clock and to continue with out recess, as was done today. The Louisiana contest, involving 12 delegates, will be the first taken up tomorrow and this will be followed by the contests from Mississippi. Missouri and North Carolina in the order named. Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip pines protested against their dele gates being denied votes while Alaska and the District of Columbia were given votes, and the committee voted to place their delegates on the tern porary roll with tho recommendation that they have votes.

Three Republicans Senators La Fol- lette, Norris and Polndexter voted with the Democratic majority, ana Senators Groona and Clapp would have done so but were .paired with Senators Borah and Kenyon. The negative vote of Senator Newlands was a complete surprise to the Senate, and the Nevada Senator, recognizing v that his action had aroused comment, later made'pub lic a formal explanation. Mr. Kewlanda Explains Vote. - I have a high admiration for Mr. Brandeis as a publicist and a propa gandist .of distinction," said Senator Newlands. "I do not regard him as a man of Judicial temperament, and, for that reason, I have voted against his confirmation. Throughout the- fight President Wil son stood firmly behind his nominee, never wavering when it seemed cer tain that an unfavorable report would be returned by the Senate . Judiciary committee. Before the committee voted he wrote a letter to Chairman Culber son urging prompt and favorable action. Senators who voted for confirmation today were: Democrats Ashurst, Bankhead, Beckham.
