REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION IN SESSION Hottest Factional Fight in Political His tory of Country Is Expected. Hundreds of Police and Deputy Sheriffs in Convention Hall Heavy Details Guard Every Entrance Gameras and Red Cross Flag Conspicuous. Chicago, June IS. When the gavel of Victor Rosewater, chairman of the Republican national committee, fell at noon today, calling; to order the fif teenth Republican national conven tion, the most desperate fight in the history of American , politics had reached a crisis. The Taft men this morning flatly refused the demand of the Roosevelt forces that they agree to a proposition that no vote on the temporary organ ization be valid unless it received the affirmative vote of 640 delegates a majority whose rizht to a seat was unquestioned. This was a novel pro gram and arranged at a session of the Roosevelt delegates that lasted until nearly daylight today. At 10:15 the doors of the Coliseum were all manned and the ticket-holders began to filter in. The pressure at the doors when they were opened was not great. Great lines of uniformed policemen were scattered about tne structure and massed at , every entrance. Grouped with them were 400 special deputy sheriffs, especially commis sioned by the sheriff of Cook county to see that there was no disorder. Plain clothes men were distributed through the crowd of curiosity seekers that had flocked to the scene, hopeful that the Roosevelt forces would make good their threat and storm the entrance, thus makine a way for all without tickets. Twenty policemen were grouped in front of the platform and 50 in the rear. Mammoth cameras, aimed at the stage, were perched from every bal cony rail. Red Cross flags at several doorways were a erim reminder possiDiy or a prophecy. Two huge megaphones, an ice water tank and a private telephone were the only ornaments of the speaker's stage. By 11:10 a. m. the hall was more than half filled, and fully two-thirds of the delegates were in their seats. The aisles were jammed and the Chi cago fire marshal and his aides kept officers busy clearing them. The convention was called to order by Victor Rosewater, chairman of the Republican national committee, at 12:02. At 12:16 request was made that crowd remain quiet while flashlight be taken. At 12 :18 convention hail was feet by the strains Spangled Banner." At 12:20 rather Callaghan pro nounced the invocation. 12:25 Reading of call concluded. 12:26 The chair recognized Gov ernor Hadley, of Missouri, who moved te amend the temporary roll call. The Roosevelt people have decided on Governor McGovern, of Wisconsin, instead of Senator Borah, as their can didate for temporary chairman, ac cording to a statement just made by Senator Borah to the newspaper men. McGovern is La Follette's choice for chairman and this is taken to mean that the Roosevelt men may awing to the Wisconsin senator in case of a deadlock. The Wisconsin delegation an nounced that it will vote unanimously for McGovern for temporary chairman. everyone, in the brought to their of "The Star- Marines Are Entrenched. .Havana The United States marines stationed at El Cobre, 10 miles west of Santiago, have thrown up entrench ments and are well prepared to resist any attack. The Cuban gunboat Baire has arrived, bringing as prisoners Gregori Surin, a noted revolutionary leader, and 10 others. The mayor of Palma Soriana reports that the con ditions there are most serious. More than 4000 persons have taken refuge in the town, where they are sleeping in the streets and are absolutely destitute. Chicago June 18. Against thej threats, charges and bitter invective of the Roosevelt forces the Taft sup porters in the Republican national convention put through today the first portion of their program by electing Senator Root, of New York, tempor ary chairman. In spite of the fact that Victor Rosewater, chairman of the national committee, consistently ruled out of order every motion made by the Roosevelt forces, it required more than five hours to reach a vote on the chairmanship, The calling of the roll was beset with difficulties from the first name of the list of delegates, but in the end, when the tumult had died away, Sen ator Root was found to have won by a vote of 658 to 502 for Governor Mc Govern, of Wisconsin, with 14 scat tering votes and four not voting. Tonight both the Taft and Roosevelt forces are asserting that this vote in dicates that their candidate is abso lutely sure to win. ' The advantage appears to be with the president, however, for while he is sure to lose some of the votes that were cast for Senator Root, it is said that he will gain, if instructions are lived up to, some of the votes inde pendently cast for McGovern. Those leaders who have been urging a compromise candidate ever since tbey arrived in Chicago are pointing to an other angle in the figures and say they show that it is essential to name a so called "dark horse" to save the day for the Republican party. Whie Mr. Root was made chairman and managed to deliver his "keynote" speech, the fighting is to be renewed at 1 o'clock tomorrow morning, when the motion of the Roosevelt leaders to substitute a new list of delegates for those seated in some of the contested cases heard before the national com mittee is to be taken up as the unfin ished business. No committees were named tonight and none will be until this motion to "purge" the convention of "fraudulent delegates" is disposed of. Today it was defeated on a point of order, but the Roosevelt forces as sert that parliamentary practice will not be permitted to stand in their way tomorrow. The Roosevelt people and the Taft people carried out almost to the letter their programs as announced in ad vance. The Roosevelt people say to night they are going to fight every inch of the way. Cries of "bolters" were hurled at the Roosevelt delegates at times in the session, but the contingency of a bolt tonight seemed to be far distant. California assumed a belligerent at titude almost with the start of the roll call, when the two Roosevelt dele gates from the Fouth district, unseat ed by the national committee, were not allowed to vote. Protests were confined to eloquence. The two votes for Root were the only encroachment in that state upon the vote cast for McGovern. Pennsylvania made even a fiercer protest against the vote of an alternate. CONTESTERS LOSING HOPE. Woman Attacks Asquith. London While Premier Asquith was holding an official reception in honor of the king's birthday, a fash ionably dressed Buffragette tried to tear the epauettes off the premier's coat. Mrs. Asquith tried to rescue her husband from the unwelcome at tentions of the woman and then an usher literally dragged the suffragette away from the premier and ejected her'from the building. Some reports say the woman beat Premier Asquith. Farm Given To Children. Walla Walla, Wash. To give them a chance to manage the property while he was yet alive and could help them, Thomas Lyons, a pioneer, distributed 2500 acres of the! finest farming land in the valley among his six children. The deeds give the value of each tract and the total is $94,000, as a conser vative estimate. ' Washington Delegates Refuse Com promise With La Follette Men. Chicago, June 18. Contesting Roosevelt delegates from Washington had a conference today with La Fol lette leaders with a view to getting the support of La Follette delegates in their fight for seats in the convention. La Follette people were not deeply interested in seating 14 delegates pledged to Roosevelt, and said so. They offered, however, to help the Washington contestants if the latter would agree to split their delegates, giving La Follette seven votes out of 14 if the contestants should be seated. This proposition was more than the Washington men could swallow. Four were willing to dicker on this basis, but onlv four, so the deal was declared 1 off. Washington contesting delegates are fast losing hope and Bee little chance of being seated, in view of today's line-up. Darrow Agent Perjured Los Angeles George Behm, of Portage, Wis., an uncle of Ortie Mc Manigal, testified at the bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow that Darrow had brought him to Los Angeles to get Ortie McManigal to repudiate his con fession. Behm testified also that he had denied before the grand jury that he had tried to influence McManigal, as Darrow had told him so to testify. Behm contradicted the latter state ment and said Darrow had told him to refuse to answer questions regarding his relations with McManigal. Parker May Be Chairman. Baltimore It was said here that Alton B. Parker was a likely candi date for the temporary chairmanship of the Deocratic national convention, with Representative James, of Ken tucky, next strongest. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma and Representative Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania will second the nomination of Woodrow Wilson, it is announced, while friends of Governor Burke of North Dakota started a "dark horse" boom for him. aeitington Peters , .... . . , - .-.
