The candidacy OF Lieutenant Gov
ernor Woodruff, Of New York, who arr
rived yesterday, IS still being kept in
evidence of his friends, but apparently
withoupt any backing from the Re-
publican managers and with the dis
tinct disapproval Of Senator Hanna.
When questioned regarding hesitate
ment made by Senator Hanna to the
effect that Mr.. Woodruff was not a
satisfactory candidate for the vice
presidency the latter said:
"Had / any intimation from the adj
ministration that my candidacy was
not desirable would not have allowed
my friends TO support me to the ex-
l tent they have"
Mr.. Woodruff was asked II he would
continue as a candidate on the event
/ OF the New York delegation falling tc
/ support him. To this he replied:
"There will be no such event"

BIG FIGHT In PROGRESS
FOR THE SECOND PLACE

Philadelphia, June 16. ~ Delegate
Payne, of the Iowa contingent, ar
rived yesterday having come via
Washington. He brought renewed as
surances from Senator Allison that he
could not and would not be a candi-
date fer vice president. Mr.. Payne
said that he and other delegates had
accepted this declination as final, and
says that the president also accepts
this view, remarking that If the sena-
tor was so determined in his attitude
his friends could hardly press him
further.
George e. Roberts, director Of the
mint. is here in charge of the vice
presidential boom Of Representative
Dolliver. He said today: Iowa is
for Mr.. Dolliver. We have no claims
as q doubtful state, but we believe
he has qualifications that are more
valuable to candidate than any adj
vantage that can come from mere To-
cality. His strength in congress is
proven by the fact that his fellow
members in the house are responsible
for the movement to place his name
before this convention. ~ His nomina-
tion would arouse great enthusiasm
among young men. They are the fight
ing blood of the party, and they are
the element to which we look for re-
cruits."
Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana. was
another arrival yesterday, and has
been besieged by those who were
anxious to know II he was a candi-
date for vice president. While he
would not be interviewed, he did deny
any aspirations for the Office. The
position of Senator Fairbanks. how
ever, is well known. He does not
want the vice presidency. He likes a
senatorial career and has every pros
pect of remaining in the senate as long
as his party remains in power in In
diana, and he does not think IL neces-
sary to announce a positive declina-
tion of the place. But there are a mum
Der of Republican leaders who think
It possible that a contingency may
arise where it will be necessary tC
nominate Senator Fairbanks. In
such an event, it is believed by those
who know the senator's party loyalty
he would accept. II has been sug
gested that he will make a speeci
placing Mckinley in nomination, bu
go far no such arrangement has beer
made.

REPUBLICANS WILL
NOT DEAL WITH ADDICKS
CONTINUED From First Poge).

week, the chief topic among lobbyists
and visitors to the Hotel Walton was
the disposition of the Delaware con-
test. 1t overshadowed the interest
manifested in the vice-presldential
candidate. Mark A. Hanna's presence
in the corridors was unable to divert
the attention which was given to the
Delaware contest.
The day was a long one for the Della
wareans who are most interested In the
contest. The monotOny Of the situa-
ton and the dearth Of news as to the
intention OF the subcommittee made
the time pass YEARLY. Republicans
wandered backward and forward from
their quarters in the Hotel Stenton to
the Hotel Walton. anxiously inqulrine
as to developments, and the possibility
of the subcommittee making its re-
port.
A report was circulated during the
afternoon that the sub-committes
would recommend either the seating o
the Republican delegates or not sea
either side. Then again, it was sait
that the committee was in favor of no
taking action, but to submit the cas-
to the National Convention Credentia
Lommittee on Tuesday.

J. Edward Addicks was roundly be-
rated in the conversation yesterday for
the part he has played in the politics
of the state. There was talk Of an Of
fer by the Addicks men to compromise,
but the Republicans, claiming undis-
puted right to recognition, would have
refused such a proposition had it been
offered.
In an interview Former United
States Marshal McMullen said: q can
predict with the utmost confidence that
the Republicans will win. The press
is with us and has been of powerful
assistance in presenting to the public
I the justice of the cause for which we
are fighting. As l said to Senator
Scott, this is a Republican Convention
and not a Union Republican Conven-
ton, and to seat the Addicksites would
be a direct slap in the face Of President
Mckinley"
Every Indication pointed to the
weakening of the Addicksites during
the day. The hopes that they enter.

peared during the night. All hopo Of OBJ

by them early in the day.
