Cincinnati, O., June ,2i.--Secretary Taft tonight Is speeding towards New York on the Pennsylvania Flyer. He left Cincinnati this afternoon. accom- panied by James T. Williams, Jr., of his political stan. and expects to reach New York tomorrow morning at s:3o.
 If his train should be on time. he will catch a train for New Haven. Conn, so as to arrive there just before noon. He will remain. at New Haven throughout the commencement exer- cises of Yale--his alma mater. He will attend tomorrow afternoon a meeting of the Yale corporation. of which he is a member. on Tuesday he will be present at the class day exercises and at the reunion of his own class of '7S. and on Wednesday he will attend the graduation exercises of the University. He expects also to witness the Yale- Harvard boat race at Newtondon on Thursday.
 As he Is likely to make a brief stop in New York on his way to Washing ton. 1t Is probable he will not reach the National Capital before next Satur- day. He will remain in Washington until after the session of the sub-com- mittee of the Republican National Com mittee which Is to be held there on the first of July. It is not improbable he may remain there few days longer. as he has some matters to attend to which he desires to dispose of before he goes on his summer vacation.
 Only tentative plans, thus far, have been made by Secretary Taft for the summer months. He probably will go, accompanied by Mrs. Taft, to Hot Springs, Va, for three or four weeks, beginning early in July. He would en- joy above all else. going to Murray Bay. Canada. where for the last six teen years he has spent his summers. but as that location is out of the way and not easily accessible. objection has been made by some of hts personal and political friends to his going thereevan for so nrief a period as he expects fo utilize this year as vacation time. It will be necessary for him to be in Cin- cinhati about the 20th of July, to re- ceive the formal notification of his nomination for the Presidency. It is his intention now to pass three or four days here about that time He then viii return to Hot Springs for the rec mainder of his summer outing.
 Plans have been practically effected by which, after the Ist of September, Secretary Taft will be continuously in Cincinnati. While he will reside with his brother. MT. Charles P. Taft. he will make ms neAuQuarlcts aS LUG k1oIeA sinton. A suite of apartments at the hotel has been set aside for the use of Secretary Taft and his personal and political staffs. It Is not expected that the national headquarters of the Re- publican Party will be located in Cin- cinnati Az heretofore, the headquar- ters of the party organization very likely will be in New York or Chicago. It has not been determined yet In which city the chairman of the Ma tional Committee will have his princi- pal oflce.
 Practically no new facts were devel- oped today regarding the committees action yesterday on the question of the national chairmanship. While the discussion at the conference took a wide range, 1t can be said auth orlta- lively that few names of possible sr- pointees were considered. It was the consensus of opinion among Secretary Taft's advisers that the selection mT a chairman should be postponed. as least for a time. in order that so nomentous matter might receive thorough cGn- sideration.
