In a factional fight between Taft delegates in the first South Carolina district, the com mittee seated Delegates Gran and Preoloau. Tho fight between Taft factions in the first Tennessee district resulted In the committee seating Delegates San; R. Wells and R. E. Donnelly. During the hearing of the third Ok lahoma district contest, Ormsby Mc Harg and Francis J. Heney, acting for Roosevelt, clashed frequently with Committeemen Stevenson and Devlne, Taft men, who held proxies. The committee seated Taft dele gates In the ninth district of Tenness ee with a viva voce vote. The Roose velt supporters claimed that the Taft men had bolted the regular district convention, and held a separate meet ing. When the result of this Vote was announced, Heney leaped to his feet, shouting: "This is a plain steal!" Jeers and hoots from the Taft sup porters followed Hcney's remark, and Chubb shouted: "Tell us about Abe Ruef again!" 'Ruef would have been ashamed to pull off a steal like you have just done," was Heney's answer. "Don't you like II?" challenged Committeeman Scott, of West Virgin ia. "No, I don't," snapped ellney. "You are trying to put over the entire coun try the rotten game you play in West Virginia." Amid a chorus of boos and Jeers from the Taft supporters Chairman Rosewater pounded his gavel vigor ously for two minutes before he suc ceeded In restoring order. The committee then seated the con tested Taft delegates from the second district In Tennessee. Walter Mauser, campaign manager for Folctte, entered the committee room this afternoon, holding the proxy of Comnilteeman Rogers, of Wisconsin PETITIONS CIRCULATED FOR A. A.

LA PINE IS HIT HARD IN ITS POCKET COMMERCIAL CLUB BLAMES THE GOVERNOR BECAUSE THE M OR SON IRRIGATION PROJECT IS HELD UP AND MONEY SCARCE. Resolutions denying Governor West's charge that the LaPlne Com mercial club is controlled by J. E.

The company, as a, result of this, ordered all work on the project closed until the time should come when the easement would be granted. The LaPlne Commercial club passed resolutions condemning the. governor for his action, and the governor In re ply, declared that Morson controlled the club, and that the resolutions were his work. The club now denies this, and In part says: ''We denounce him as a man who does not guard the best Interests of the people of the state; a man wholly Irresponsible and unfit for the high otflce he occupies; a man who con ducts his office for the purpose of wrenklng private vengeance, without regard to the consequences, and who has no regard for the truth, when It does not serve his purpose."

TEA PARTY Such Will Be the Meeting of the Democratic Convention in Baltimore Alongside the Republican Fireworks. IGNORE TWO-THIRDS RULE The Suggestion Is Made That the Two-Thirds Rule May Not Be In. viiked, and That u Majority Will Name (he Candidal Convention Will Be Tame, as the Democrats Mill Meet and Conduct Themselves as Gentlemen. UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE.l Baltimore, Md., June 14. Declaring that the two-thirds rule probably will not be considered at the Democratic national convention here this year. Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, N. Y., chairman of the Democratlo national committee, today took charge of the convention arrangements here. Chair man Mack conferred with number of Democratlo leaders and declared that the contests over the seating of dele gates would be few and unimportant. Chairman Mack's statement In re gard to the minority rule Is taken to mean that any candidate receiving more than one-half the votes of the delegates would be given the nomina tion, the same as Is the rule In the Republican convention. In previous Democratic conventions a two-thirds vote of all the delegates has been necessary. VOTE TO ABOLISH . THE COMMERCE COURT fnsiTsn mens iinmo wins J Washington, Juno 14.

HE GOES TO TONIGHT ROOSEVELT ANNOUNCES THAT, IN RESPONSE TO URGENT APPEALS, HE WILL LEAVE NEW YORK FOR CHICAGO AT 6:30 TONIGHT. (UNITED mcSS IJIJBID WISS. . New York, June 14. Theodore Roosevelt, In person, will lead his fight for the Republican presidential nomination In Chicago. Roosevelt, coming Into the corridor of the Outlook office today, after talk ing over the long distance telephone with his lleuetnants In Chicago, an nounced to the newspaper men; "Gentlemen, gentlemen, I am going to Chicago on the 5:30 o'clock train this evening, I think over the Lake Shore line." Xhe colonel's face wbb flushed, ap parently with excitement, and his eyes flashed as though he had Just received exciting news from Chicago. Then he went Into his office and dictated a statement for the press. Roosevelt's statement said that many persons had urged him to go to Chicago, and that ho had received "countless telegrams from delegates." The statement continued; "Telegrams from delegates say the action In the California, Arizona, In diana, and Kentucky contests Is such as to make the Issue clear cut as to whether the people have a right to make their own nominations or wheth er a small knot of professional poli ticians shall be permitted to steal that right, and they demand that I come on, not as a candidate, but be cause for the time being I stand as representing principles for which the rank and file of the Republican party have overwhelmingly declared In the states where they have had an oppor tunity to express wishes at primar ies. "The states where the rank and file of the party declared for the principles I represent Include those which enst about two-thirds of the electoral vote that has been cast at the last two pres idential elections for the Republican candidate, and In these primary states President Taft has only obtained be tween one-seventh and one-eighth of the delegates. "The delegate! who thus represent the people themselves feel that the peoplo have declared themsnlves be yond the possibility of misrepresenta tion, and they are not In a mood to see their victory stolen." Roosevelt for several days had been Importuned1 to hurry to Chicago, his closest friends advising that his can didacy was eblng hurt by friction which prevailed among certain of his leaders. Too ninny differing plans. they pointed out, were being advanced. and It was said that his hand only could straighten out affairs. Roosevelt all along has announced that he would not go to Chicago un less convinced that his presence was actually needed. It was evident that when Roosevelt arrived In New York from Oyster Bay this morning that he had determined to go to Chicago. He was accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, an both apparently were prepared for (Contlaued on Pan I.)

Chicago, June 14. "Theodore Roosevelt, when he reaches Chicago, will take personal charge o.' his fight for the presidential nomination and will personally manage his entire campaign." This was the statement here today of Senator Joseph M. Dixon, of Mon tana, Roosevelt's campaign manager. "I believe," continued Dixon, "that Roosevelt has some little reputation as a fighter and manager. He will see the reporters when he arrives. "The Taftltes are completely de moralized and all their whistling to keep up their courage Is not drown ing the noise of their chattering teeth. 'Notwithstanding 'Bosb' Barnes' blatancy and bold front, the Now York delegation has slipped Its leash and Is coming over to the Roosevelt camp. The knowledge that the New York delegation has broken, is reaching all the Taft delegates and wo are getting letters from Nor thern and Southern states assuring us support, which before yesterday we had not counted on." Drifting from Tuft. Senator Dixon was most emphatic in his declaration that the drift from Taft had Btarted. He asserted that two North Carolina delegates, sup posedly Taft men, have promised to support Roosevelt. Congressman Mc- Klnley, Taft's campaign manager, bitterly assailed this claim, but other Taft leaders do not conceal their I'ear that some of the southern dele gates will desert to the colonel. One of nit.Klnley's chief liuutenunts this afternoon said: "We do not fear Roosevelt's pres ence. We know that Dixon was sent here to Intimidate our leaders. He tried this by calling some of the1est nun In our party crooks and thieves while the Roosevelt leaders simulta neously attempted to Induce them to support Roosevelt. He fulled. "Now Roosevelt is coming here to work on the Individual feelings of the delegates. We bellevo the rank and file of the Taft delegates are organ ization men at heart." Must He on First (Inllet.
