loyal to their instructions for Taft that the Taft men are in the minority and that the deflection will be great if a Roosevelt stampede is started.
 The hotbed of the Taft defection is at the Lexington hotel, where the West Virginia delegation is quartered. A meeting was had there tonight un- der the leadership of Phillips, but it was attended by only a few delegates and a large number who will have no vote in the convention. Wm. II. Taft lost a delegate from his own state tonight, and Foraker gained him, according to the statement of Charles Kurtz. manager of the Foraker cam paign.
 This man is Zane Burley of the Ninth Ohio district, under instructions to vote for Taft. He declared, however, says Kurtz that he does not believe Taft, if nominated, can be elected, or even car " his own state. He thinks Foraker can carry both the state and the coun- try and decided to bolt the instructions for that reason.

 President Gompers, accompanied by other members of the executive coun- lcil of the American Federation of Labor, paid their respects to MT. Ellis during the day and gave notice that a definite demand would be laid be- fore the committee. What proposi- tions are to be contained in the de- mand of the labor leaders, he refused to divulge. A vigorous protest against the anti-i injunction plank was filed with Mir. Ellis by Geo. E.. Corey, pres ident of the National Commercial In- |dustrial League, representing the Commercial Travellers and the Manu- lecturers and Employers Travelling Men. The plank in question, the pro- test sets forth, would constitute a sinister reflection upon the highest courts.
 The final touches to the resolutions will be made by subcommittee which has already been practically decided upon. It will be composed of nine members and it is said that at least six of these have been selected. These are: Messrs. Hopkins, chair man; Long of Kansas, Ellis, Crane, Payne and Dalzell.
 It is intended that the subcommit tee shall be composed of representa- tives of various interests, but will be so composed as to make sure the pro lection of the central idea that the presidents policies shall be endorsed in no half-hearted way.

[ actual nomination for president is not liable to occur before Thursday.
 The business of today was divided chiefly between canvassing the states for the selection of officers and repre- sentatives for the various committees. These selections will have a decisive influence in determining the complex ion of the various controlling commit tees of the convention.
 The -caucuses today left littse room to doubt that the Taft forces will be substantial control of the organization which the full committees are assem- bled.
 i Among the more important state conferences today were those of Ohio Iowa, Indiana and New York as each i had some bearing on the perplexfng question of the vice presidency Each of these gatherings brought forth an todd negative conclusion declaring not to be in favor of any candidate for the vice presidency. Other state caucuses were equally fruitless in solving the vice presidential mystery which deep ems as the ballot approaches.

 day it was reported that the White House favored an Iowan-either Dolli- yer or Governor Cummins-which sent Deliver stock up with a bound. But this was offset by the action of the Ohio managers who are supposed to reflects Taft's wishes, formally declar- ing that the Taft forces are scrupu- lously avoiding the support of any vice presidential candidate.
 Moreover. Chairman Perkins of the Iowa delegation, and Congressman Hepburn of Iowa called on Ex-Gover- nor Herrick, chairman of the ohio forces, and they told him positively that Deliver could not and would not be a candidate.
 The movement for Sherman or some other New York man. was sim ilarly discontinued by a decisioa--by the state not to present a candidate for second place until Hughes name is eliminated for the first place, either by ballots or by withdrawal.

THE DoLLIVER PROBLEM.
There Can Be No Headway Until That Is Solved.

Chicago, June 15.-The vice presi- Idential question continued today to maintain a puzzling position. It was presented in a new aspect almost every hour of the day, but at no time has it shown a disposition to become less complicated. Deliver has been the center of the complication, and it was generally conceded that there would be no solution until he was either nominated or entirely eliminat- ed from the equation. All told, the developments in the Deliver candi- dacy were not satisfactory. It was generally conceded that Senator Long still the champion of the Iowa sen ator, had spoken correctly when he expressed the opinion that time would be necessary to solve the Deliver problem.
 The announcement that the presi- dent would ask that Cummins be nominated, if Deliver should not be aroused interest, but the members of the Allison-D Deliver faction. would not for a moment consider that contin- gency
 If Deliver should be eliminated, the contest will be between Fairbanks and Representative Sherman of New York Both received much encouragement during the day. It is, stated in behalf of Fairbanks that if nominated he would not accept.
 Speaking of the report that Pres ident Roosevelt had expressed a de- sire for the nomination of either Deliver or Cummins for the vice presidency, Congressman Hepburn to- night said in a conversation last Fri day with the president, the subject of the vice presidential nomination was discussed. His impression from the conversation was that the latter had no particular desire for Dolli- yer to be the candidate. Moreover. he had no desire to express a preference in the matter.
 It was announcd at the Iowa head quarters tonight that Deliver had ex- pressed a preference for the nomina- tion of Fairbanks.

Chicago, June 15.-The eve of the republican national convention finds Chicago on tiptoe with anticipation. with final preparations well matured for the candidates and the platform, except the ever doubtful vice presi- dency and with the whole city astir with these tumultuous scenes which usher in a national convention.
 Tonight the streets are ablaze with lights. Flag day brought forth a wealth of color in he tall buildings. The bands tonight vie with the glee clubs in the packed headquarters of the candidates, and the open air. Marching clubs in fastastic regalia pa rade the main thoroughfares. singing Taft, Taft" or Knox. Knox" and there is a universal pandemonium which befits the night before a nation al convention.
 The main force of the invading army are now here-leaders, followers, dele gates in rank and file. marching clubs, glee clubs, bands and drum corps.
 The last state delegation from the far south arrived tonight.
 But while the din proceeds without the final preparations of the leaders proceed within. Their plans are well laid, probably with better precision than has ever been known before a na tional convention met. Unless the un- expected happens or the specture of a stampede rises from it's grave, the con vention of 1908 will establish a record for the methodical execution of well established plans.
 Senator Burrows arrived today. In view of reports that the senator's speech Omits a tribute to President Roosevelt it is being cOnjectured to- night that the senator will depart from his prepared text. With Mir Burrows arrived Asher c. Hinds, the expert parliamentarian of congress, who will stand at Mrs Burrows elbow. His gen jus is for immediately solving the knottiest parliamentary tangle. Should tine unexpected stampede its head to- morrow, Hinds will be relied upon to throw against it the full force of pre- cedent and established procedure.
 After the preliminary gathering to- morrow. there will be a period of sus- pense of practically two days, during which the committees will meet and organizations be perfected so that the
