TAFT WINS
DELEGATION
IN OHIO
MAJORITY IN ALL COUNTIES
FOR SECRETARY
Foraker Faction in One Section of
the State Seeks to Garry
Fight Into the
Courts

By Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 9.-Next Tues
day the county primaries at which del
egates to the Republican state conven-
ton on March 8 are TO be selected will
be held throughout Ohio. An over
whelming majority of these delegates
will be In favor of William H. Taft for
president, and the convention may be
unanimously In his favor.
Under a recent decision of the Re-
publican state central committee it Will
be unnecessary to hold actual primaries
unless there is more than one ticket in
the field, but by virtue of this ruling
in fifty-two out of a total of eighty
eight counties in the state, the regular
Taft delegates will be chosen merely
by the certification of their names.
In the remaining thirty-six counties
primaries will be held, but in only four
of these ;s there opposition to Taft. In
but one county, Cuyahoga, in which is
the city of Cleveland, does the fight
against Taft show any sign of conse-
quence.
The convention will be attended by
S15 delegates, of which number Taft Is
certain to have 745, almost certain OF
1852 and his political managers are con-
fident that he will have them all.
The dubious spots are Knox county,
with seven delegates, and Cuyahoga
county. which has sixty-three dele
gates. The contest in the latter coun-
ty is the more serious, not only be-
cause of the greater number of the
delegates involved but because the
Foraker faction has sought to bring
the matter into court, and will, it is ex-
pected, ask the supreme court tomor-
row for permission to file the case be-
fore that body.
Fight on Committees
Minor political considerations in the
city of Cleveland have brought about
conflicting claims as to the validity of
the two county committees. The Taft
people claim that this is the only legal
body, and the Foraker faction is set
ting UP similar assertion in behalf
of it's committee.
The board of elections of Cuyahoga
county recognized the Taft committee.
hut on order of the state courts re-
scinded this action and declared in fa-
vor of the Foraker committee.
The primary, however, will proceed
as though there were no legal ques-
tions involved, but if the case is filed
before the supreme court, and then de-

BY Associated Press.


LISBON, Feb. 9.-Thousands of Por-
tuguese filed slowly today through the
noble cathedral of San Vicente and
gazed for the last time on the faces
of their king and crown prince. When
night fell and the doors of the church
were closed there was still a large
crowd patiently awaiting admission.
They turned away disappointed when
informed that the public lying -in-state
had been interrupted until tomorrow.
On that day at o'clock in the af
ternoon the caskets will be closed and
transported to the Pantheon, where,
with further ceremonies, they will be
placed in the sepulcher
EmbIems of Mourning
All the people today wore some en-
blem of mourning, and in passing the
coffins placed beneath them floral Of
ferings. some budding wild flowers from
the fields, others simple clusters of
violets and others elaborate creations
and rare exotic blossims. The bodies
were guarded constantly by officers of
the army and navy, royal archers and
the palace guard. Masses were said at
various affairs for the dead and
prayers were offered in many homes.
In official circles 1t is believed that
the ceremonies, in accordance with the
coronation of King Manuel, may not
occur for two or three months, and
perhaps may never occur, as the
young king wishes to inaugurate his
reign with as little ostentation as pos
sible. not unlike Gustav of Sweden.
Indications point to relative tranquil
lity for a few weeks, when republican
activity and determination to proclaim
a republic, which appear strongly in
opments.

METHODIST CHURCH
Bishops Hamilton and Welden
Will Conduct Christening of
Epworth Edifice

sided over by Bishops Hamilton and
Welden, the new Epworth Methodist
Episcopal church, which is to take the
place of the one destroyed in the dis
aster, viii be dedicated this morning

ond at p. m. and the third at 7:45

The new church is situated at the
corner of Clipper and Sanchez streets,
the trustees considering the site a
better location than the old one at
Twenty sixth and Church streets The
building is a frame one of the modified
mission type. and was erected at a
cost of $4,000.
Except for a small portion, which is
expected to be donated today. its dedi-
cation will see it clear of debt. The
new church starts with membership
Of $50. but its congregation is much
larger, and as soon as affairs are put
into working order it is expected that
the membership will be increased to
what it was prior to the fire.
