 Salt Lake City. May 5.-H. H. Rogers and James Stillman, named as de- fendants with the Hartman and othei railroads in the merger suit of the government, filed their answers in the federal court. They, with E. H. liar riman, Jacob H.

 Mir.

He also asks that costs be granted him and also damages for injury to his charac. ter by reason of the allegations made against him.
 He denies that he is or ever was a member of any body of men who at. tempted to gain control and restrain commerce and traffic between the states or that he ever bought stock in any railroad 10 gain control.

NEW JERSEY G. 0. P. MEETS.
Convention at Trenton to Select Dele
 gates to National Gathering.

Trenton, N. j., May 5.-The opening
 of the Republican state convention here to select delegates to attend the national convention in Chicago found the situation little different from what it has been for weeks past. The meet ing of the Republican state committee did not help to clarify matters, and there was still six candidates for the four places as delegates at large to the national convention. The only thing the state committee did was to agree upon former United States Senator John F. Dryden for chairman of the convention and to refer to the commit. tee on credentials the fight of the ''new Idea" men of Essex county against the delegates of the regular or ganization in that county.
 The indications are that the dole gates at large will be Governor Fort, United States Senator's Kean and Briggs and State Assessor David Baird.
 It is still an open question as to what will be done with respect to the candidacy of Secretary Taft. There is large contingent in the convention favorable to indorsing him for the presidency. On the other hand. most of the Republican state leaders be- lieve that New Jersey should send to Chicago an uninstructed delegation, and they are advocating this. If any thing at all is done with respect to Secretary Taft it will probably be the adoption of a resolution indorsing his but not pIedging the dele gates to vote for him.
 Governor Fort made another public announcement in which he declared he does not seek nor want the second place on the national ticket of his par ty. for which he has been mentioned.
 ''I intend to remain governor of New Jersey until the end of my term" the governor said. "The talk about my be- ing a candidate for vice president has all been merely of a complimentary character. and have never given it se- rious consideration.
 'T have always felt and still feel that ultimately if Taft be nominated or any other western man Hughes will be the for vice president
 T say this of course not unmindful of the honor of being even mentioned for the great Ofiee If the convention shall select me as delegate at large to Chicago I shall he gratifed and will try to represent the state as best I can"
