Roosevelt Forces Lose in Effort to
Substitute List of Dclcrjatcs for
That Selected by National Commit
teeMotion Ruled Out of Order.
Typewritten Arguments hy Roosevelt
Forces Evidently Lay Foundation
for Justification of Bolt.
COLISKUM. CHICAGO, June 18.
Victor Hoficwatcr proved himself n
capable engineer for the Taft steatn
roller todny when, nfter extended do
bnte. in which the Hoosovelt forcesj
evidently laid by cnrefully prepared
typewritten speeches, tho jimtificati.n
for a bolt, ho declared out of order a
motion to substitute the Roosevelt list
of delegates for thoso selected by the
national committee.
I lay ward concluded tho rendiiig o
the call, at 12:23, and immediately
Governor Hadley of Missouri was
recognized. Ho btood on fiis chair
n minute and then pressed forward
through the press enclosure lo the
platfonn, while the Pennsylvania nnd
other delegates cheered him. Kosc
water nnd I fay ward shook hands with
Handlcy, nnd ho started to read n
typewritten document. As ho did so,
William Barnes, junior, got to his feet
nnd sheuted: "Mr. Chairman 1 I rise
to a point of order."
Hmlley Stnriw the Fun,
Hosewnter paid no attention to
LjSarne:;,. nntl Hadley proceeded, sny-
in;?:
"Mr. Chnirmnn, I rise to a question
of order. I desiro to know whctlur
the temporary roll hns been properly
framed."
Hero James Watson, of Indiana,
the Taft parliamentarian, broke in,
witli a point of order that thcro could
be nothing properly put before tho
convention until it has been formally
organized. Kosewatcr ruled tho point
of order well taken, but said that ho
was willing to listen to arguments on
the question.
Hadley said: "I roso to a question
of information and there was nothing
before the house nt tho time. I movo
that the list of delegates, prepared by
the national committee, known ns tho
temporary roll, bo nmonded in tho
following particulars, by substituting
the following list of delegates, nnd
that the list known as No. 2, bo known
as the list of temporary delegates for
this convention."
Point of Order Ilulc!
Wntsou renewed his point of order
that Hailley's motion was out of order
until a proper organization of thu
'invention had been effected.
Hosewnter declared that tho motion
appeared to the chair to bo well taken
but said that he wns willing each side
should havo twenty minutes in which
to debate the question.
Governor Hadley then called for
Governor Fort of New Jersey and
Governor Dcnecn to tho platfonn, and
at tho snina time, Representative Su
reno E. Payne, of New York, strug
gled up to the platform, after consid
erable effort, taking his place beside
Jim Watson in tlio ranks of tho cotn
uiittco on pniliumontnry "sharps."
Both sides had been expecting this
parliamentary question, nnd hud all
othor data thero typewritten ready
for use.
Hadley Starts Debate
Governor Hadley started tho debute
for tho Hoosovelt forces.
"I huvo presented for tho consider

bocii placed before the convention.
The chair hub stated that, in his opin

tlio fair plan of purmiltinfr debate.
"Our chairman hits nskod that a

"I offer this to your detorcajuutjon
