Harrison. ex-Vice President Morton,

Thomas B. Reed, ex-senator Spooner
aqg Henry Cabot Lodge. The sug-
gestion, however, that their ab-

Warmness or the belief that 1t is yet too
early to commence to lay plans for fut-
ture Republican success is emphatically
repudlated by Gen. Clarkson and his
colleagues. They say that each and
every absence is occaSioned by prior po-
litlcal or business engagements, and
that each of the abSentees has written
an expression of his warmest interest in

Clarkson Taken Sick.
1t looked for while today as though
the league convention would be de-
prlVed OF the presence of its president.
Early this morning Gen. Clarkson was
taken with severe stomach trouble,
and which became more acute In the
afternoon. He was confined to his room,
and for the greater time to his bed,
| throughout the day. Tonight his con-
| dltlon was considered as comfortable,
put ne has given it out that nothing
snort of total collapse would prevent
his being present tomorrow.
| Headquarters were opened at local
hotel tonight by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of
| Iowa, as the solitary delegate of the
| Woman's Republican league. AS she
cannot hold convention all by herself,
she proposes to present her right to be
| seated as member OF the league con-

| however, are opposed to this course.
and will cross lances with Mrs. Foster

| The name of Gen. Alger as a can
didate for the league presidency was
| sprung tonight and received with some
favor by the candidates as yet I'M
| pledged. W. w. Tracy, of Illinois,
| gained considerable strength during the
day. but big delegation of Buckeyes
are whooping things up for President
SQuires. OF the Ohio state league, and
claim a majority of the convention for
him in advance. President Burke. of
The college league, appears to be having
everything his own way in his canvass

For over four hours tonight number
of members of the national. committee,
including Monley. Powell, Clayton.

of the disputants penetrated the
heavy door and were heard in the CORR
doris. One of the participants claimed
that Chairman Carter had suddenly dis
appeared from Chicago several days
| ago, leaving no intlmatiOn regarding his
movements; that he failed to show up
in this city until yesterday, and went
proof that in the interval Carter
had gone to indianapolis and con.
Ierred with eX-President Harrison
regarding the policy to be out
lined at tomorrow's meeting Of the
committee. While the conference was
in progress, Chairman Carter sought adj
mission, but was informed that the
meeting was purely private one.
ThereupOn he retired.
