The republican national convention
will be held June 7th in Chicago, It Is
claimed, :is the majority or the mem
bers of tbe iiiillonnl committee In ses
sion here lire pledged to the Windy
City. San Frnnelsco expects a com
plimentary vote on tbe
preliminary
balloting.
Tbe bold lobbies are buzzing today
with rbntter of presidential possibil
ities. All "possibilities'' nre either
present or have "Just loft."
Prominent among the absentees
nre Itoosevelt and Justlco Hughes. It
Is believed that If cither runs It would
upset nil other candidates for the
nomination, nnd both are talked of
strong.
Republicans fool that it Hughes
runs he wilt win easily. Progressives
stated that the "standpatters" are
fostering a sentiment for either Root
or Weeks. They allege that tho "ma
chine men" have told their subordi
nates in some places that Roosevelt
will support Week, and again In oth
er places that Roosevelt will eld Root
Tho republican national committee
met to select the time and plnce for
the national convention, following tho
mooting last Tuesday or the demo
cratic committee. Presidential booms
overshadowed the actual business of
the republican lenders. Political
Uglitulng rods were hoisted. Senti
ment regarding tho 1916 standard
bearer was exacted to largely crys
tnlllze at 'today's conclave.
In selecting the convention city the

Cblcugo, St. Louis, Philadelphia, San
Francisco nnd Honolulu. Bids
of
$100,000 for tho convention, with
certilled checks, wero on hand to back
up tho Invitations, with San Fran
cisco bidding $200,000. It was re
garded as certain that the republican
convention will bo held a week after
the democratic meeting, or about the
mlddlo of June. A week may Inter
vene between the conventions.
The G. O. P. mobilization today had
many aspects of a reunion of the Old
Gunrd. Discussion of progressive
amalgamation, prospects of Roose
velt's return to tho fold, and over
tures to tho progressives waa rife.
Much in evidence was Boiso Pen
rose, William Barnes Jr., Charles B.
Wnrron of Michigan, Senator Smoot,
former Governor Saunders of Tennes
see, former Senator William Murray
Crant and other veteran war horses.
The committee was also expected to
new convention represents-'
adopt tho
lion plan, by which delegations from
Southern democratic states aro to bo
reduced. This plan has been ratified
by conventions or primaries of more
than two-thirds of the stateo.
Charles D. Hlllos of Now York, for
mer President Tart's socrotary, called
tho commlttco to order at 11 a. m.
Socrotary James B. Reynolds read the
call. Two or three days, It was ex
pectod, would be roqulred to complete
the committee's business. Former
Governor Hadley of Missouri headed
tho St. Louis delegation. Senator for hearings oeiore me hw, .u
Ponrose was the Philadelphia main- eluding both the sufragiita i and antls

The plumbing In tho old city hall,
which the firemen recently Hold for
1 1 3 r . was tho property of the Are de
partment. Furthermore, there was
no misdemeanor,' either Intentional or
unintentional, committed by the fire
men in the sale of this property.
Bo nt least decided the council last
night, after hearing all sides of the
jense Involving the sale. Councilman
j Doty then made n motion to exoner
ate tho department, and this was
pnssod unanimously.
Shortly after tho llreraen sold the
fixtures from the old city hall, the
city officials claimed that the fixtures
were city property. The firemen
were ordered to turn the proceeds of
tho sale over to the city, nnd last
night was the time of hearing.
floth the city and the fire depart-
.ment produced receipts to show that
each had paid for come of the plumb
ing. F. Zlm Baldwin, who Installed
the plumbing, stated that he believed
the city had turned the plumbing in
tho old fire quarters over to the fire
men when the Job was completed, and
that It was .therefore the property of
tho firemen. Thla stand was-accepted
by all, and the matter disposed of
satisfactorily.
