Or, and in New York City is not by any OREGON PRIMARY VITAL Western State Vote for Hughes Shows Utter Futility of Pressing Barton or Cummins After Com- pllmentary Ballot Is Over. CHICAGO, Juno 2. (Special.) There will be 316 Instructed delegates in the Republican National convention that assembles here next Wednesday. Not one of the favorite sons will have as many as 100 Instructed delegates back ing: him, but most of the candidates supported by Instructed delegates will enow more strength on the first ballot than the instructions Indicate. All delegates, save those from West Vir ginia, have been chosen, and West Vir ginia, according to common belief, will send an uninstructed delegation. The pledged delegates are' supporting can didates as follows: Cmnmlna (Iowa, 'Minnesota, Montana and Nebraska) 7 Sherman (all ef Illinois but 4. who are for T. R.) 52 Fulton (Ohio complete) vi""' 8 alrbanka (Indiana and 10 from Ken- tucky) 4 T-ord (Michigan) 80 X,aFollette (North Dakota and IS from Wisconsin) 20 BrumbauKh (part of Pennsylvania) .... 21 Hughes (Oregon and "Vermont) IS DuPont (Delaware) a means "one" on the subject of woman suffrage. For instance: Mrs. Charles D. Hilles. wife of the chairman of the Republican National Committee, who arrived this morning at the Blackstone, spoke briefly, for the ladles in the effete East. I am an antl-euffragist, she. an nounced. "Then you must be antl-Roosevclt," was suggested. I am more than anti-Roosevelt. I cannot explain further what I mean by that. I do not wish to be interviewed. ewspapers are a very nice place for men and suffragists, but no place for me. All I am 'for' are National con ventions. I enjoy them. Chicago is a very hospitable city." Mrs. Ralph Williams, of Portland, Or.. one of the five women delegates, to the convention, also arrived at the Black- tone, and with other thoughts. Said she: "H come here not only as a delegate to the convention, but also to represent the women of Oregon, to fight their battles and to promote their cause in the woman's party convention held by the Congressional Union .here in Chi cago. The women of the West have demonstrated that they can vote In telligently. The women of Oregon are power to be reckoned with. They will give the men of Oregon to under stand that women will not tolerate shabby politics." Mrs. Williams Is said to be one of the handsomest women on the Pacific Coast, likewise one of the cleverest. 816 Five to Disappear Quickly. Most of the candidates whose names appear in this list are not going to o factors in the contest that la to say, they will be eliminated from the list of possibilities after the complimentary vote has been cast. Sherman will go out after the first ballot; so will Ford, LaFollette, Brumbaugh and DuPont And it la quite likely that after that same first ballot, there will be a scat tering of the Cummins, Burton and Fairbanks instructed votes. At no time in the pre-conventlon con test has anyone taken Sherman seri ously, except Sherman himself. Henry Ford looked always on his boom as a Joke, and he will not make any effort to add to his strength, or to control the Michigan votes. LaFollette may try to swing his following, but if he can place 10 of the 25 delegates instructed for him, he will prove stronger than is be lieved of him now. The only truly loyal Cummins dele gates are those from his own state, and they are not expected to stand in line for Cummins long. In Minnesota, .Montana and Nebraska there is no en thusiasm for Cummins among the dele gates who are instructed, and they are speculating on deserting Cummins on an early ballot. Oregon Primary Vital. Until the returns from the Oregon primary were known. Burton stood a splendid chance of holding together the 48 delegates from Ohio in the hope of preserving his strength, and being available, in the event of a deadlock. The Oregon vote showed the utter fu tility of pressing Burton, and the Ohio delegates are now listed as Deing aooui -evenly divided as between Hughes and Roosevelt, after the complimentary Dai lot Is over. The failure of the Fairbanks' boom to arouse any enthusiasm throughout the country will operate to scatter the Indiana delegation after the first few ballots; possibly after the first Daiiot, and the Fairbanks votes in Kentucky will not stay by him after his own delegation deserts. LaFollette is going to cut as little figure in the Chicago convention as any favorite son whose name is to be presented, and the eight DuPont votes from Delaware are already conceded to Roosevelt; most of them, at any rate. Just 18 of the Instructed delegates in the Republican convention are going to stick by their instructions until the last horn blows; the 10 from Oregon and the eight from Vermont. These delegates are instructed for a real can didate, and as long as there is a possi bility of nominating Hughes these 18 delegates will stand pat. As a matter of fact. Elihu Root, of New York, hav insr no instructed delegates back of him. probably will show greater strength on the first , ballot than will any of the candidates supported by delegates who are pledged. Colonel Roosevelt has not a single Instructed delegate in the Republican convention, but he will show some thing over 150 votes on the first ballot. Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, claims 200 votes to start with, but no body is being fooled by the Weeks' claims. Just how many votes Justice Hughes will get on the first ballot is a ques tion no one feels competent to predict. There are Hughes enthusiasts in almost every delegation; sooner or later, Hughes will get support from practi cally every delegation. Whether he will get as many or more' votes than Roosevelt on the first ballot Is not known, but indications are that Hughes and Roosevelt will lead from the outset. F the stars have picked either A Charles Evans Hughes or John Win gate Weeks to be President of the United States it is ' hard to see how one can win unless the other does. Both were born under the same lucky star, both birthdays falling on April L. Justice Hughes was born In New York State, April 11. 1862. and Senator Weeks in New Hampshire. April 11. ibu. To their intimates It la a well- known fact that their birthdays are the same and the day is a big event in the two families. One year there Is a dinner at tha home of the New York Jurist, and Sen ator Weeks supplies a large cake for me occasion. The next year the party will be held at the home of the Mas sachusetts statesman and the Hughes lamny supplies me festive cake. The party was held this year In Washing ton, which has been the scene in most recent years. The buzzing of the po litical bee did not Interfere with it. On his way to Chicago a few dava ago Senator Weeks was describing the anniversary parties and his "dope" on the coming convention to Robert W. Woolley. director of the mint, and an observer from the side lines In Re publican affairs.

REGULARITY TEST URGED Xehraskan Would Reduce Number of Contests in Southern States and Senator Smoot Backs Move. Idahoan Presides. CHICAGO, June 2. Plans of the Re publican National Committee for I speedy conclusion of the delegate con tests pending before it were blocked today by a mass of evidence and argu ment presented from the Congressional districts of Georgia, in each of which there is a contest. Committee action yesterday, when the four delegates-at-large from Geor gia, known as the Jackson faction, after their leader, Henry. S. Jackson, and credited with favoring the candi dacy of Elihu Root, were seated, which. it was believed, presaged a similar dis posal of the district contests, did not result as expected. Several delegates of the opposing, or Henry Blun faction, who were said to be ready to vote for Justice Hughes, were seated by the committee after a 10-hour session. The committee worked without a re cess through the day. and a night ses sion was announced by Chairman Hilles. Regularity Test Urged. As a step toward reducing the num ber of contests from Southern states. Committeeman R. B. Howell, of Ne braska, urged that the test of regular ity be applied to every contest. His attitude was seconded by Sen ator Smoot. who Insisted that the test of the standing of a contesting dele gate should be whether all the steps taken in his selection were regular and in accord with the state and party laws. This stand did much to prolong the shearing of the several contests, as each contestant argued that his selection was regular, and details of the selection of precinct committee men and district convention delegates were presented to the committee. Throughout the afternoon J. W. Hart, committeeman from Idaho, presided. and Chairman Hilles took a seat with the committee. Other Contests Cited.

Yes, Mr. Webster Is a very serious candidate; he is. In fact, the only avowed candidate for the Vice Presidential nomination. True, in Min nesota, he essayed to seek Presidential honors, and by the same tactics he used in Oregon, managed to get on the bal lot. But that's as far as he got. Webster Aroaaea Cariosity. Out of curiosity, one of a group of newspaper men who surrounded Mr. Webster tonight, asked him who he might be, anyway. "Why," he replied. "I follow the law. but my brother does the work." And Judging by appearances, Mr. Webster spoke the truth. What makes Mr. Webster's position the more .ridiculous is his boast that he "beat out Senator Borah for the Vice-Presidential nomi nation In Oregon." He seems not to know that his was the only name on the Oregon ballot. Here in Chicago Webster la known as a "chronto candidate. Kx-Governor Gooding, of Idaho, is on the scene, boosting as best he can for "Teddy." Gooding is not a delegate. but likes to dabble In politics And It Is evidently Gooding's purpose, as an outsider, to do what he can to swing the Idaho delegation to Roose velt. The ex-Governor was loathe to believe Senator Borah is .supporting1 Hughes,' and hopes to convert the Sena tor on his arrival. Gooding la Active. He admits that Borah's stand will carry great weight with the Idaho delegation. Gooding says he will active ly support Hughes if nominated. .Inci dentally, Gooding is boosting Borah for Vice-President, no matter who heads the ticket. He says the Far West, for the first time, has an opportunity to get one of Its sons on the National ticket, and he insists Borah should con sent to be running mate, if he is given the opportunity. Borah, on the other hand, has no Vice-Presidential aspira tions and is expected to squelch any second place movement In his behalf If it develops. Senator Borah has no de sire to go on the political shelf. As yet ex-Senator Fulton is the only Oregon delegate, with the exception of W. H. Brooke, of Ontario, to reach Chicago.
