(By United Press.) CHICAOO, June B. Senator Moses was severely criticized in open session of the republican national committee by several committeemen for his statement chcarglng that steam roller tactics are being used in hearing the delegates' claims from contested dis tricts. The committee today seated D. C. Cole, Georgia delegate, supporter of Wood, over the Lowden delegate. Moses' statement, apparently in be half of Wood, was objected to by com mitteemen who favor the general's candidacy. "I've been for Wood for a year and I personally resent any statement like that made by Senator Moses touching upon the integrity of Chairman Hays," said National Com mitteeman HcOraw of Oklahoma. Revives 1912 Melee. CHICAGO. June 6. Steam roller talk has not appeared In the prelimi naries since the Taft-Roosevelt con test eight years ago. There are several delegates who con tribute to the support of predictions that it la going to be a regular old time convention. Many of the steady ing Influences which guided prelimi naries four years ago are absent and many new elements which make for confusion are present. The majority of delegates are uninstructed, and although, as is generally the case. many of them are anxious to board some band wagon, there does not ap pear to be any. About the only thing overybody seems agreed on is that no candidate is going to be nominated on the first ballot. This is the lost day of the national committee's deliberations on the con tests. In disposing of the remaining Georgia congests, the committee seat- l ed the Wood delegate in the seventh district and the Ijowden delegate in the tenth district. The Texas contest, involving 23 votes will be taken up next. (By United Press) CHICAGO, June 5.- Tension along candidates row was Increased today by Senator Moses' statement charging that the republican national commit tee is using a steam roller to help Lowden get the nomination. Wood, in whose behalf Moses' state ment was apparently issued, declared he was 'loath to believe" that "at this critical moment In the nation's his tory any selfish or political interest would be permitted to outweight those of public good," and that he believes Chairman Hays was "absolutely fair" in handling the delegation contests, which were the object of Moses' at tack.
