Bcfcrc Convention Bcnnn
CHICAGO. Aug. C Just before
the bull moose convention was called
to order by Senator Joseph if. Dixon
of .Montana at noon today it seemed
almost certain that Governor Hiram
Johnson of California would be tho
vice-presidential nominee. Although
General Luke Wright of Tennessee
was being advocated by the souther
ners for Colonel Itoosevelt's running
mate, the majority of the delegates
favored tho California executive be
cause of his campaigning ability.
Johnson has flatly dented that ho
Is a candidate for the nomination,
but it is believed that if Roosevelt
says tho word ho wilt fall in lino.
The last word concerning the nomina
tion rests with Colonel Roosevelt,
and his choice for second place on
tho ticket will be one named by tho
delegates.
Colonel Roosevelt's domination
over the convention will be complete.
Not only will he name tho vice presi
dential nominee, and the permanent
chairman of the convention, but ho
will decide whether the new party
shall take the name of the National
Progressive party or perpetuate the
name of "bull moose." .Most of the
leaders favor the former, but a .num
ber of the delegates are strong for
the "bull moose" namo, and will
fight for Its perpetuation.

tho crowd took up tho rofmln. This
seemed to nmuso tho colonel. Tho

moving picture operators began

With troops surrounding tho parlia

to his mandate, the Sultan today or
dered parliament dissolved, and to
escape forcible dissolution, tho cham
ber adopted a vote ot lack of confi
dence In the cabinet and adjourned
sine die. The action Is taken as tho
virtual finish of tho Young Turk's
rule.
When the irado of tho Sultan wns
read. Deputy Djavld Dey denounced
tho tyranny of tho government and
declared tho chamber would resist t
the last. When troops were brought
up to clear the hall, however tho de
puties reconsidered and submitted
peaceably.
To add to the intcrnccino troubles
of Turkey, thoro Is today' a strong
probability that war soon would' bo
dectarcd with Montenegro. Tho
Montenegrins aro swarming to th'o
frontier to cast In their lot with the,
