Tho .temporary organisation wilt also be tho permanent most jUKeiy. with the excen tlon of chairman. When tho convention has permanently organised, t It Is gen erally supposed that the former secre tary of war will pass tho gavel over to Bpeaxer Joseph Q. Cannon. ' The national committee, which has ' held only star chamber sessions since it mot. became more exclusive than ever today, and because a remark or two and ,ne enuirnng of foot from tho ante-room happened to reanh th mm nt tu uMn- ; slves early In tho afternoon, they or dered the ante-room cleared. Governor ; ranuin Murphy of New Jersey made , the motion, and 8ergeant-t-Arms Stone ; followed instructions and put every one out into the street Including: Congress man 4iucneia or, Maine. Oot Things xed. i Later, however, things were fixed so that the ; newspapermen were ad mitted.. Guards were placed, however, and .the new reinforcements to the 'press bunch- had to be identified be fore they were Admitted to tho sacred suDuroo or we committee room. ' After Wisconsin, the other eontealrs were disposed of in Jig time. ; In the Fourth Missouri district there was a compromise, each of the contestants be ing given, half vote. Tho four dele gates are A. C. Kinneard, J. A. McLane, A. W. Love and J. H. Harris. : , : . . The contestants from the Twenty-first Illinois district gob what it was expected they would nothing. The action of the committee will cost Governor Tates one vote In his fight against Senator Cullom for tho chairmanship of the delegation, as only ono of the seats from the dis trict, that of A. N. Schuyler, was con tested. . In tho Fourth Ohio district, where tho contest was over the regularity of tho coll, J. F. Fox and D. C Henderson were seated and in tbo Blxtb Ohio the contest was not allowed on tho around that the Twenty-first Illinois was thrown out In tho Twentieth Ohio, the Cleveland district, tho contest was "between J. B, Zerbe, a close political and social friend of Governor Kerrtok and tbo late Senator Hanna, against F. H. Eggera. Zerbe won, Tho Question at Issue was the one that was so generally discussed at Springfield early In the' week, whether the commit tee or the convention had the right to name the temporary offlcera - The national committee decided that tho committee was Its own master. The Una! batch of ' contests came from Texas, where only Questions of regularity were Involved, but In opposition to the Louisi ana and Georgia' cases, the delegations on which a majority were white men. won out The delegates seated were: Cecil A. Lyon,' R.i B."'Bwley,"CM. Ferguson and M. M. Rogers, at large: J F. Keith and B. F. Wallace, from the Second district; A. J. Rosenthal and H. L. Price from tho Seventh district. Contrary to many early predictions of a lack of general pwblio Interest In this convention because of the foregone conclusion that President Roosevelt would be renominated, the crowds of visitors are expected to literally over run the city's hotels, while hundreds are vainly endeavoring to secure en trance tickets to the Coliseum.

GUIDE "BE CLAD" SAYS 1IANY liOVlAIES KING'S porary chairman. At the close of Mr. Root's speech, the temporary organisa tion of the convention being in ruu swing, an adjournment will probably be taken until io o'clock Wednesday. Before the second session the com mittee on credentials must dispose of 10 contests. Claimants of the right to reoresent Wisconsin. Texas, Deleware and Louisiana have submitted claims that are being fought with bltternesa If these contests assume -serious pro portions the work of the convention may be delayed. It Is possible ; that some of the affected states may lose their reBresentatlon. a condition, .however, not believed possible. Wisconsin's war is the most serloua . In the Badger state Governor LaFollette Is pitted against what are termed the "Stalwart a," or those supporting the two United States senatora The LaFollette state con vention threw out a large number of "Stalwart" delegates and the latter or- sanlsed a rumo convention, selected the same delegates at large to tne naiiomu convention, and brought the fight to the Coliseum. Governor LaFollette claims to be making a strong fight asalnst corporation domination In Wis eonsln, but the Stalwarts aay.thle Is an Imaginary situation, and that LaFollette simply wants to. be the Foo-uan or tne commonwealth. -The 4yi of the lead ers In political diplomacy will bo heavily taxed, but It is believed to be equal to th oacABltm. so that the work of the second day's session will begin promptly at the appointed hour. ' First Business. The first business of the second ses sion probably will bo to hear the report of tho committee on permanent organ isation. " which names the permanent chairman of the convention. Then will follow the reading of . .resolutions for adoption. The most Important of these wlU be the platform embodying the is sues upon which the Republican party will go to the pons. -v Loner discussions or some ox ins ntnmnhi of the platform ere un avoidable.: but these expressions or differing opinions will be reduced to the shortest possible time, and It Is reason ably certain that the platform will be adopted in ample time to clear a Way for the business or naming a xicaei. which will likely occur : Wednesday morning If the work of tne session is expedited.- - President Roosevelt will be placed m nomination by former Governor Frank Black of New Tork. whose speech Is ex pected to bo a rouser or entnuftiasm as well as a slowing panegyric of : the strenuous executive. The seconding soeeehes will - be made by Senator Beverldgo of Indiana, George A. Knight of California. Horry Btiuweu JEawaras of Georgia. Joseph B. Cotton of Minne sota, and Harry S. Cummings of Mary land. These probably will, conclude the second day's session.'. yAl?:-.fiX--- Thursday Is expected to reveal the name of the running mate of President Roosevelt, and. If there is to be any thing at aU like a scrimmage for po litical' preferment during this conven tion, U will make its appearance then. The majority v of opinion has it that Senator Fairbanks will be coupled with the president, though the t IUlnois friends of- Mr. -Hltt and the adherents of tho , Nebraskan. John L Webster, hope to make an Impression. The fact that nilnoie la represented Jn the per son of tho speaker r of the house has been a deterrent ' feature to the candi dacy of Mr. - Hltt candidacy that might be termed an eleventh-hour af fair, for It practically was unborn prior 'HS-'ii'-.-'SJi PS-KVtJ.?.,;i1'V-.',''.'' to the Republican state convention of Illinois, -which indorsed the able mem ber of tho foreign relations committee or tho house for tbo place Vow Committee Slow. As the old nations! committee went out of existence by limitation and their successors were selected ' by tbo state delegations to meet as soon as prac ticable after the nominations, the new committee will not be eble to convene until the fourth day. At this meeting organisation for campaign work will be effected As the selection of a chairman Is left to the nominee for president. It Is almost certain that Mr. Roosevelt will name Secretary of Commerce and Labor George B. Cortelyou to direct the coming campaign. Since the first national conventions of 1812, held, at Baltimore, there has been no such gathering of party hosts comparable with this one and the bust nees-ltke methods used to bouse snd manage It without friction. The eon ventlon arrangements will be most ad mirable and unusual. None save ser geant-at-arms will be permitted to stand in tho alslea : Uniformed messengers will deliver messages from ths II long distance telephone booths and the tele graph office under the stage floor. Be hind the speaker's stand is the division allotted to the distinguished guests, and encircling . that are the seats of too newspaper correspondents. Twenty-five stenographers and tele graph operators In the service of varl ous news bureaus and press associations will bo seated at tables Just below the speaker's table. The monster conven tlon will be conducted along lines of a well-ordered Industrial plant From a single controlling point In visible to all within the hall, the mana gers will direct every movement By means of a private system of telephones. CoL William F. Stone, collector of cus toms of Baltimore and sergeant-at-arms of the convention, will control all de tails, Everything is expected to move like clockwork.' A button will be pushed and the band will play.' The same but ton will be pushed twice and the muslo will eease. ?, 'fev.v . . Machinery Zs Tast The vast machinery necessary td handle l,Si delegates and alternates and an army of doorkeepers, ushers and other assistants, is expected to operate noiselessly and perfectly. The band will .be elevated on a stand above the second gallery where the rounded, hoi low walls of the big building will send the volume of Inspiring melody out with majestic effect The press section and stage floors win be carpeted. Adjoining the auditorium is an annex that was built from the materials in tho old Libby . prison. In this annex will bo the roomo Jof the national com mittee and 1 .sub-committees. Retiring rooms for men will be appreciated con venience "Spiritual comfort" for the thirsty is not to be had anywhere about tbo building, all efforts on the part of liquor venders to secure concessions at enormous prices having failed. Not even the lowly nam sandwich may be obtained within the walla It was argued that as this is going to be a business convention it will keep "busi ness hours," hence there will be due time to eat and to attend to the wants of humanity. In general without making circus of. the, Coliseum building. B i ; This will bo the first time In the his tory of national conventions that all the managers ; have been : jender the same roof with the main body, of delegate, and so far as known, no previous con- vemion ox sny party ever was eon- ducted on such a systematic basis as ths Republican national convention of lsOe.
