Chicago, June 20.-Tha nomination of
Senator Charles w. Fairbanks, for Vice
President, was regarded as settled, to-
night, when New York decided to cast
;icr IS votes for him. While it has
sec med Il foregonc conclusion for some
time that the Indiana senator would be
Mr. Roosevelt's running mate, there
have been efforts made to bring out
other candidates and start stampede
for some other man. These attempts
failed almost in their inception and it
early became apparent that Fairbanks
was the choice of most of the dele
gates. New YOrk's action was more
formal than that of other states and
practically settled all doubt, even
among those who Were opposed to the
Indiana man.
Forenoon trains brought i'm the
straEgIers and the ranks of nearly all
the state delegations lave been filled.
With the arrival of delayed delegates
were eliminated all obstacles to the
holding of caucuses. State headquar-
tiers were sought and the program of
the day asccrtained. II developed that
most of the caucuSeS would be held late
in the day. or tonight, and nothing re-
mained to the new Corners but to take
their places in the hotel Hobbies and
discuss the absence of contests, the in
activity of delegations and the small
attendance.
Fog hung over the city at dawn, but
this was dispatched by the sun which
drove back the clouds and left a cheer
full day. 1t is day which would draw
tn crowds to the open Hobbies and the
sidewalks without even the game of

this. the picture is not yet rccogniZa-
BILE as a true convention scene. In the
corridors of the principal hotels where
the states have established headquar-
tiers is missed the buzz of conversation
proceeding from councils behind closed
doors; pass groups of national figures
and one hears the laugh which follows
a story well told. The utter absence of
sharp political work is noticeable and
forces the realization that everything
is fixed"
OF the absentees Is the man who has
attended every Republican convention
since Lincoln was nominated" but
that is only another illustration of the
quietness of convention eve.
With no contest for first place on
the ticket and apparently none for the
second no occasion exists for march,
ing clubs of enthusiastic. shouting
thousands. headed by bands, nor for
other ORGANIZATIONS which customarily
add to the din, tho blare and the ex-
element of convention. They are
not needed and they are not here. One
square from the lake front hotels the
only sign OF action is Il straggler of
adventurous turn who is known as A
delegate by the badge pinned to his
lapel.
Among the arrivals were "a delegates
from Kings county, n. Y, including
ex-Lieut. Gov. Timothy L. Woodruff.
