fed to manage the campaign, and
when they left his rooms they de.
clared that they would not consider
his retirement, regardless Of his
wishes in the matter.
MI. Hitchcock looks worn and tired.
On two nights during the convention
he did not go to bed at all. Tuesday
night the credentials committee held
4 IA hours session throughout which
Mr.. Hitchcock kept In touch With the
proceedings. On Thursday night
there was . conference onthe sub
ject Of the vice presidency. and party
leaders were ct his rooms until after
8 Z. n. beseeching him to ascertain
Secretary Taft's choice for . running
mate. When the presidential nomi,
nee declined to dictate . nomination
It remained for MI. Hitchcock to har.
monte the differences between the
representatives OF the various candi-
dates. From 3 o'clock until the con-
vention met MI. Hitchcock worked to
line up the western delegates behind
Mr.. Sherman, who had developed the
greatest strength Of all the candi-
dates. AZ a result he has undermined
his health.
Will Have Time 70 Rest.
Several Of his warm personal friends
argued with Mr.. Hitchcock TO-DAY that
he would have plenty OF time to rest
before it becomes necessary to open
national headquarters. but he gave
them no satisfaction whatever.
That there is q considerable num-
Der Of members Of the national com.
mittee opposed to the selection Of
MI. Hitchcock to manage the cam
paign is admitted, and no doubt this
is responsible in no small degree for
his determination to withdraw from
the race. He informed some Of his
friends today that he had accomplish.
ed all he had undertaken; that the
Of Mr.. Taft having been
made, he could retire with good grace
and the secretary without embarrass-
ment could select q manager .

and the treasurership for a time
Later In the afternoon he said to q
representative OF the Associated
Press
1T was deemed wise to defer action
for the present both as to q chairman
and = treasurer Of the committee. It
was not ! question that absolutely had
to be decided today. On the decision
finally depended momentous issues
and we felt that It might be well for
the smoke OF the battle at Chicago to
clear away before determining the
matters before US. We have plenty Of
time and the subcommittee which has
full power to act may be gotten to-
gether at almost any time. The time
July land the place-Washington
were quite satisfactory to all par
ties to the conference. When we CON
vene there we shall be able to reach q
conclusion that Will be satisfactory to
all"
Hitchcock Needs q Rest.
Mr.. Hitchcock, Secretary Taft add
ed, was in a state bordering on ner-
vous collapse and needed q good rest.
Secretary Taft,s discussion Of the
subject with the members Of the
committee substantially was an elabo-
rate decision
With this view the committee fully
agreed. It will be noted that the Of
fetal statement does not say that MI.
Hitchcock declined the craftsmanship,
but he declined to be considered for
the position on account Of his health.
No statement was authorized by any
body that he had declined the profter
Of the place or that the prefer had
been made to him.
It can be said that the proceedings
Of today have not eliminated Mr..
Hitchcock from consideration and that
he undoubtedly will be an important
factor in the equation which will be
reduced by the conferees when they
meet in July in Washington.
Luncheon Served conferees.
At the conclusion Of the conference
luncheon was served at the residence
OF charles p. Taft. Later the men,
tbers Of the committee were taken in
automobiles to the Cincinnati Country
club where they spent the afternoon.
Secretary Taft remained quietly at
the residence Of his brother, receiving
calls from his friends and trying to
keep cool with a big palm leaf fan on
one Of the most sweltering days Of
the summer.
He will remain the guest OF his
brother until tomorrow afternoon,
when he will leave for New Haven,
Conn, to attend a meeting of the Yale
corporation Of which he is a member,
and be present on Tuesday at the re-
union Of his classmates, that of 1875
and to attend on Wednesday the COM
mencement exercises at Yale. It is
unlikely that he may conclude to wit
ness the Yale-Harvard boat race on
Thursday, but as to that he has not F
determined definitely.
In connection with his class exer-
cises he recalled that both he and his
running mate, Mr.. Sherman were
graduated in 1873, he from Yale and
from Hamilton college.
It was not until today that Secre-
tary Taft was aware of this notable
incident.
Representative Sherman, the vice
presidential candidate left tonight for
for Cleveland via the Big -Four road.
He was accompanied by former Gov
Herrick and a few other friends.
He will pass Sunday in Cleveland and
expects to leave that city tomorrow
for Buffalo on one of the Lake
Erie steamers. He will reach his
home in Utica, late Monday after
noon.

MEN GO BACK TO WORK.
Southern Pacific Shop Employees Dis
charged a Week Ago Are
Re-employed.

SALT LAKE, January 81. - More
than $50 shopmen who were laid off
a week agoat the Southern Pacific
local shops were put back to work
yesterday morning, and the indications
are that they will be steadily employ
ed from this time on. At the time
the men were laid off the opinion was
that they would be out Of work for
a longer period than a week. The
traffic on all the lines out of Og-
den is exceptionally light and should
another layoff came within the next
month it would occasion no surprise.
The Hartman officials have adopted
the plan of laying off all of the men
for a short time, instead of discharg
ing a portion of the force indefinite

Good and Timely Suggestions 70 the
Motorist Thinking Of Touring the Desert

duplicate. Twice they were ties up
in the Amaragosa river, and one time
it required four hours of hard work
to get the car out Of the sand. When
the car reached the river bed it was
noticed that a small stream was run
ming between the banks of soft sand.
1t wal thought that by rushing across
the car could be gotten through with
out a stop. just half way across the
wheels began to throw up the sand
and when the clutch was disengaged,
the big machine, with it's passengers
and luggage, settled in the soft sand
until the running boards rested on the
surface. Here is where a block and
tackle would have come in very handy.
but as they had none, it was a case
of dig sand and push. At this sea

ways be taken on tours of any length.
The rains have not been heavy this
year. and as a result, the streams are
not very high. but during January,
the usual trouble in touring Califor-
mia is in getting through mud holes.
swollen streams. and washed-out roads
From now on the mortorist should be
prepared I have a few battles with
mud holes.
But to get back to the desert and
mountain trip. There is the element
of freezing to contend with. which
ownersof machines in Los Angesles do
not haveto think about. Many who
lately have encountered snow storms
and more thar one frozen radiator has
resulted from permitting cars to stand
water.
While on the subject of long trips
it will always be found advisable to
provide sufficient robes and extra
coats. for a night siege in a ear. The
Hollerand party became lost on the
desert and were forced to spend the
night in the car with snow and rain
alternating on the outside. It was
no pleasant experience. and had they
not been provided with heavy coats
and robes it would have been a real
hardship, as there were three women
in the ear.
Before starting on a trip through an
unknown country it is always wise to
study the lay of the land. get the
locations of the towns and the dis
tances in your head, and then if there
are no maps to be had, secure the very
best instructions. The average motor
ist who has toured to any great ex-
tent learns to follow the right road
almost by instincvt. Stick to the
main travelled road is usually a good
rule, but on the desert it is far bet
ter to stury the location of the hills.
and keep moving in the direction of
your destination as much as possible.
There should always be a sufficient
quantity of gasoline and water in the
car. In the summer it is much more
difficult to get water, but the fuel
problem is much the same throughout
the year. All the small settlements
have gasoline for sale. but more than
one machine has wandered we miles
of unknown roads without reaching a
camp of n kind. Always watch the
gasoline and keep well stocked

WHOLE PEOPLES CHOICE
 SUCCESSFUL IN OREGON
A Way by Which Republican Legis- lature May Have to Elect a Demo- cratic Senator.

Portland, April 1S.-Yesterday's pri- maries resulted in the nomination for United States senator on the republi- can ticket of Henry NJ. Cake of Port land. by over 5000 majority over Chas. w. Fulton, the present incumbent, and on the democratic ticket, Governor George E. Chamberlain. whose nomi- nation was uncontested. Both the suc- cessful candidates favor Oregon's pres ent law for the nomination of senators by the direct vote of the people. A legislature will be chosen in June to elect a senator to succeed Fulton.
 Eighteen counties so far have been heard from and an analysis of the vote leads to the impression that the whole peoples choice" candidates flor legis- lature, otherwise known as statement No. r. candidates, have more than the necessary majority of go members in tfe coming legislature.
 For the second time in this state nave senators been chosen by what is equivalent to popular vote. If Cham berlain is as successful next June in overcoming the states large normal republican majority as he was when elected governor two years ago, the members of the next legislature, which will be republican by large majority, will find itself obliged to elect a dem Ocrat to the senate.

HANDWRITING EXPIRES
 IN THt LlLltY CASE
Officials of the Electric Boat Com pany Nailed in a Misstatement.

Washington. April 1S.-The author ship of the anonymous letter intro duced in the investigation of the Elec- tric Boat company was diligently in- quired into today by the house com mittee conducting the investigation. David N. Carvalho and William J Kinsley of New York, and Albert S Osborne of Rochester handwriting ex- perts and also experts in typewriting testified that two letters and certain documents presented to the committee by Representative Lilley, which it bad been testified were written by Abner F. Neff of the Lake Torpedo Boat com pany on a typewriter in the Lake company's office, were all written on the same typewriter. Neither Lilley nor Neff was questioned by the com mittee on the point, but both denied during the day that they had written the anonymous letters, presented a letter from the commissioner of pat ents, stating that no patent had been granted Charles F. Mason during the past ten years This document was introduced for the purpose of contra dieting the testimony of Electric Boat officials that they had paid Mason who was lieutenant in the navy $500 for a patent he secured.
 LilIey asked that President Bowles of the Fore River Ship Building com pany and John P. Holland be sum moned as witnesses.
