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

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.

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.
