oyster Bay. June s7.--one result of tedays conference between President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and National Committeeman Frank B. Kellogg and William L. Ward. according to one who was present. was to set at rest the per- sistent rumors that William Loeb, Jr., secretary to the President. would be made chairman of the National Repub- lican Committee
 It was made clear to Secretary Taft by Mir. Loeb that he did not desire the chairmanship; that he had made plans to enter private business after March {. 1909. and that under no circum- stances could he be induced to accept.
 Mir. Taft is reported to have said to Secretary Loeb:
 "If I am elected President next fall you may have any office which 1t Is in my power to give"
 To this Mir. Loeb replied that he ap- preciated the honor and confidence shown in him by MT. Taft. but that his plans precluded his acceptance of the cbairmanship.
 So far as the selection of national chairman who will manage Mir Taft's campaign Is concerned, 1t was said that no decision was reached today and none would be until the sub-con- mittee meets in Washington on July for that purpose.

 Lined up against Kltchin were Locke Craig, of Buncombe County, and Col. Ashley Horne of Johnson. Behind Craig were the United States Senator's. many Congressmens the leading news papers and many of the ablest party leaders. Every legitimate effort was made to defeat the successful nominee in the campaign and in the convention. When the deadlock came efforts were made to throw Horne's support to Craig but when the little breaks came Kitchtn got the Hons share.
 The attempts to introduce a dark horse failed utterly Tn the closing hours today his opponents reversed tactics, throwing cratg's support to Horne. This play failing, the Craig supporters took the laA desperate chance and Horne withdrew at the last minute in the hope that most of his strength would go to Craig. Then came the sixtyrnrst ballot and the die vast cast. KftchIn received 8 msjor- fly Of fortyyfour votes and amidst . riotous demonstration the nomination was made unanimous,
