CHICAGO. June 2o.-,rhe nominat lon of 81
Senator Charles W. T air banks for Vi Vice--y99 N
President was regarded as settled to-
night, when New York decided to cast her
seyenty-eight votes for. him. While tts
has seemed n a foregone conclu uslon 4 for3s
some time that LANA serlat tor wou q
be Mr.. Rooseve1t's running ate, there n!
have been fforts tof bring on her can
{didates ana start q stamp deS of delegates
for some other II an. These attempts
failed almost In It'll eir incep ption; a nd II M
early became apparent that Fairbanks M
was the choice Of most of the del elegates SSs
New York 's &C ton was more formal
than that OF. other States, and practfAisl
cally settled MI doubt even among those ~
who were opposed to the indiana SnlaJt 32s .4
n Considerable criticism las been directed
Z at Senator Fai banks because OF his
s,ire to finitely dedlare his posi- ltion. u ss
him was al stat tement hat no did not IA
consider the honor one Nitioh aj II man #

party wanted M an d edsd him
lswould accept, al lthough he was not ScaTlS
didate and would no t al low the InG Mama
delegation sstoS express itself In favor ofS
his nomination. This attitude seemed SatoS
be circulated by the leaders, who saw no,
reason why the senator should no t come
3squarely out with a formal statement Il |
Dealing in Futures sterday.
There was some dealing in futures inss
the vice presidential game to-day S. ena-
tor Fairbanks g friends were of 9 oplnlonhN
that he expressed neit her q desire for, the
nomination or q dsincllnation to accept
the place, such action would be used
against him four years hence IL he should n
be candidate for the presidency. IL
pursuing the course he has and accept
ing a party call they think he has obi
gated the party to him. Had he been
an asprant for the place. they argue
that the obligation would be the otherss
way. In trying to smoke OUT. Sena.-'s
tor Fairbanks 1t is claimed. that the
party leaders, who have been actlv WI Es
the names of other men. wanted to make NJ
1t plain that no obligation was created IL
by naming Fairbanks for the place.
While all this Is very remote from the 5
present situation, 1t Is regarded as Show
ing that the conditions surrounding thess
selection of Mr.. Roosevelt for vico-pre
minds Of the Republican polfti clans. Az
the same time they do not agree that
a precedent was created four years ago. M
or will be created by nOHlnatin g. h1r.ss
