Chicago. June 2O.--The nomination
Of senator Charles w. Fairbanks for
Vice president was regarded as settled
tonight when New York decided 10
east her rs votes for him.
While It has seemed foregone COM
clusIon for some time that the In
diana senator would be RooseveltS
running mntc, there have been efforts
made 10 bring out other candidates
and to start stampede among the
delegates for some other man. These
attempts failed almost IN their incep-
ton, and Il early became apparent
that Fairbanks was the choice Of most
delegations.
Considerable criticism has been di-
rected Mt Fairbanks because OF his
failure 10 definitely declare his posi-
ton. All that IL was possible TO OBJ
tain from him was a statement that
he ala not consider IL an honor which
n man should seek or decline. and II
the party wanted him he would accept
although he was not candidate and
would not allow the Indiana delegation
10 express itself In favor Of his nornlna-
tlon. The attitude seemed 20 irfitate
some leaders who saw no reason why
the senator should not come aQuarely
out with a formal statement.
