ALLIES SECURE SLIGHT
VICTORY OVER TAFT
Continued from Page one,

replied that he had seen letters writ
ten by Mr.. Bradley making such claims
and that he had personally received one
of the letters. Mr.. Bradley was de-
feated in his case and declined to con-
tinue with the two remaining Ken
lucky contests. He said that he would
carry them to the credentials commit
tee of the convention. The committee
promptly seated the Taft delegation.
The effort to secure a division of the
committee occurred In the hearing of
the contest from the Fifth Kentucky
district. John w. Mccullough, who
holds the proxy of John W. Yerkes, the
committeeman from Kentucky, de-
manded a division on the question of
whether the Taft or the Fairbanks del
egation should be seated. Charles H.
Scott of Alabama responded and the
two appealed in vain for the members
to rise and be counted. They stood for
a moment and then sat down. When
Mr.. Bradley came out of the commit
tee room he accosted Mr.. Hitchcock
with the following:
Says Kentucky May Bolt
"I'm tired of this brace game you
are running. l won't bolt the ticket
myself. but I can't speak for Ken
lucky"
He expressed himself with great bit
terness. Mr.. Hitchcock smiled as he
replied:
I'm sorry. governor, but I can't
see how we could both be pleased"
Representative William B. McKin-
ley, manager of the presidential boom
of Joseph G. Cannon, arrived today
to take charge of the Cannon forces.
Late today he issued a brief state
ment in which he said:
1.-The action of the Taft people on
the national committee simply demon
strates the weakness of their state
ments that they had enough votes to
nominate Mr.. Taft without the south
ern delegates or those involved In the
contests. Our figures given out the
other day are correct. and as the situa-
ton now stands we have every reason
to believe that no candidate will have
enough to nominate him on the first
ballot"
A. e. Fisher of Ohio has been ap-
pointed assistant secretary Of the Re-
publican national committee. He sue
ceeded Frank H. Hitchcock, whose re-
tirement gave rise to rumor that he
had been deposed by Chairman New.
This report was denied. the announce
ment being made that the new ar
rangement is the result of Mr.. Hitch
cocks inability to attend to the work
of the secretaryship in addition to his
other duties,
