Cummins Aids Tuft. BNITBD PRESS LDA8ID WIRI.l Chicago, June 17. Thousands of men talking of one topic, wearing channels In their brains with the constant hammer, hammer of a sin tic line of thought, are standing In the hotel lobbies today, half hysteri cal, with nerves. It will be the most relief when the gavel falls tomorrow at the coliseum and the convention begins. There are countless visitors here for the convention, but the ten thou sand are the men whose fortunes, (ne way or another, are bound up In the results of this week's balloting. The lobby of the Congress hotel, In which hostelry are the Taft, Roosevelt, and Cummins headquar ters, today was Jammed with hu manity, and filled with a clamor that resolved itself into a continuous roar. The same questions, the same answers were repeated twice a thou sand times an hour. The tiled floor Is hard on the feet and the delegates and other politicians shifted weari ly from one foot to the other. Yet they stood to talk, talk, talk from 'early morning on. It is the same slow moving crowd, massed together in little groups, RESIGNED POSITIOil OF PRINCIPAL TliOF.

Upstairs In a corner suite is Roose velt. His outer door Is closed, but there stands a constant hopeful group of 30 to 40 men. It seeniB never to vary. Sometimes one gets In to Bee the colonel. The hall and the vast garish Florentine room of tho hotel, devot ed to Roosevelt is full of men and women. Women, too, are at the Taft headquarters In the even more gar ish gold room at the far end of the same floor, a. half block away. Head o,inri. rr Kenntor Cummins, of t, u.q nr aloneslde of Taft's.

On the sidewalk oiltslde the Lon- .r... i another crowd, a mommim or more, shifting In and out, staring, talking. There were few quarrels bunuay or today. Delegates and politicians, coorkeepers and sergeants at arms, partisans, all are preparing for the battle It will be a battle royal. The strings of the situation are drawn too taut. Something is going to break soon. More than 700 delegates una an nates beside many other persons who crowded past the guards at the doors of the Elizabethan room, shook hands 4. Ellldcnite of Hiinliunrm x Seattle, Wash., June 17. An epidemic of hookworm is raging among oriental linmlirrnnta in this country and 30 persons suf- ferlng from this disease are held in quarantine at the United States immigration station at Smiths Cove. More than 20 of them are Japanese, "picture brides", who, while In Japan, married men In this country. Dr. Bolivar J. Lloyd, of the United States murine and hetlth hospital service said: "About BO per cent of the Japanese women entering this country are vie- tlms of the hookworm." , Chicago, June' 17. During the late forenoon a renort cnlned general circulation that the Iowa delegation, Instructed for Cummins, will unite with the. Taft forces on the organization of the convention and will vote with them to accept, the tern- porary roll. After this it will break and endeavor to prevent the Taft nomination. The trade is reported to be the result of certain concessions to the Cum- mlns people In the matter of or- ganlzatlon. Such a deal, prob- ably would serve to cinch the acceptance of the national com- mlttee'8 program. BflBSBIELT fit! QUARREL OVER THE PLATFORM HMD IS 610 HOT BECEPTI Virginia Takes Hand. Chicago. June 17. It was re- ported shortly after noon today that the Virginia delegation, counted as solid for Taft, at an executive session voted unanl- mously against selection of Root for the temporary chair- maiiKhlp, and also against per- mlttlng delegates seated by the national committee in contented lases to vote on their own places by atHrmlng the tempor- nry convention roll. The latter action Is the first taken by any state so far against the contested delegates seated. SERGEANT AT AO FEARS AD ATTCK 00 THE CiK.

The Initiative referendum and the recall, as federal propositions demanding specific plat form delineation, have been turned down by Colonel Roosevelt. In the tentative draft of the platform which has been prepared by the Roosevelt forces, these problems, held to be vi tal by the progressives In the western states, have been left out. lielng only mentioned In a general way, thev are endorsed, but the en dorsement Is so week that the ultra- progressive leaders are today prepar ing to start a general fight for a bold nncnninrlmlslmr platform statement on these principals.
