BUT WILL NOT HUSTLE FOB THE
PLACE.

I or the first TO put IN an appearance
3 and remained but a short time. saying,
as he went out:
You know we decided yesterday 70
/ hold a continuous session until we
1 finished up all OF those contests, and
remarked % other members of the COM
mittee; Il don't suppose any of you
1 gentlemen are aware that there viii
[ be great horse race in this town Sat
uFday2
II don't know whether they knew it
before I told them. but they know IL
today, and ] think IL would be some
what difficult TO obtain a quorum IL
we had any business late this after
noon"
Candidacy Of Fairbanks.
Congressman A. Hemenway of Indi-
ana made the most specific statement
I today that has yet been made regard
I ing the desire of Senator Fairbanks
for the vice presidency
HE win take the position" said
+ Congressman Hemenway, but he will
not ask for 1T, nor viii he express d
/ desire fer il. He does not think that
( there should be a scramble for the OF
I iicei and he viii only say that he viii
accept 1T after he has been selected for
/ itr
Does that mean that when the roll
{ of states is called for the presentation
I F q
Indiana win not present the name Of
Senator Fair0auks3"
1T means exactly that" said the
congressman, Indiana will not pre-
sent the name of Senator Fairbanks,
or any other man, according 60 the
present programme. II the senator is
nominated he viii take the place, and
/ that IS all and L might as well add
right here that all attempts to set him
TO mOke a statement viii be fruitless
He win say nothing either one way or
I the other. but If the Republican party
f. desires to have him in the second place
on the ticket he viii accept it after he
has been chosen for it. That is as far
as he VIII 90. and that is as far as IN
diana VIII go in pushing his candidacy.
or course the state takes it's cue from
the attitude of the senator, and the
situation I have described will con-
tihue until somebody is nominated for
vice president"
VIII Vote For Indiana Man.
Twenty members Of the California
delegation, together with the Philippine
and Hawaiian delegates arrived today.
d. ~. Mckinley of Los Angeles will be
chairman of the California delegation.
and he announced that his state had
no special preference for vice presi-
dent, but understood it would go to
senator Fairbanks DE- he wanted IT,
When told of the attitude that the SEN
ator had decided to maintain I'm regard
20 the position, ne declared that he
would not be able to say positively Just
what California would do. but in any
event be did not look for a contest of
any account over the position. i'm the
opinion or Mr.. Mckinley the man for
the position would be practically
agreed upon before the time came for
ms nomination, and that not more than
one ballot would be necessary TO noml-
nate him. whoever he might be.
The Philippine delegates were jubi-
liant when told that there was an eX-
cetlent chance of their being seated as
delegates They were strongly of the
opinion that they had as good q right
on the floor of the convention as had
the men from Hawaii. and were deci-
dedly pleased when informed that the
national committee held the same view.
Hawaiian Delegates.
George r. Carter chairman Of the
delegation from Hawaii. said.
There are some things that the peO-
PIE Of the Hawaiian islands would like
20 obtain in the way Of special legisla-
LlOn. DuL they are hardly matters TO
bring before "a national convention
and / do not think that we have any
especial plank to OffeT to the platform.
lt looks very much 20 me as though
as that adopted by the Philadelphia
convention. Conditions have not
changed materially i'm the last four
wears. and what applied then would
be as good at the present time, as
Tar as Z can see"
During the day but few delegates put
IN an appearance. and the situation
with one was the situation Of ali. All
OF them were for Roosevelt, none of
them knew exactly whom ne wanted
for vice president and nobody had a
new plank for the platform.
