President and Secretary Taft Confer
While Contention Cheers.

Washington June 11-With every incident of
the great gathering at Chicago flashed to them
on direct wires, President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Taft kept in constant touch to-day with the
Republican National Convention. They had a
brief conference, and each wound up the after
noon by driving into the suburbs while the con-
vention was still in session. All day long the
wires brought news of what was occurring in
the convention. There direct circuits from
the convention hall into the executive Office of

had exhausted itself The President received
bulletins from the convention while dressing for
his ride and after Secretary Taft. who went to
him while the excitement in the Coliseum was
at its height, had gone back to the War Depart

Mr. Taft also went driving without waiting
for the convention to adjourn. Mrs Taft mani
tested her keen interest in the Republican con-
vention proceedings to-day by joining the Sec
retary IN his private office and getting at first
hand the reports from Chicago. She remained
throughout the session of the convention and
scanned closely all Of the dispatches received.
After word had been received at the White
House that the cheering for President Roosevelt
in the convention hall had continued forty five
minutes Secretary Taft went the White
House and with his usual good natured smile
hurriedy went INTO the Presidents office. One
sentence in the Presidents bulletins impressed
him forcby indicating that all the delegates
were not carried away by the excitement. That
was a statement that two-thirds of them had
retained their seats.
