Chicago, June 9.-Sixteen more
Taft delegates were added to the tenn
porary roll call Of the republican ma
tional convention Saturday, as the re-
suit of determination of contests
from Florida and Georgia.
The opposition to Taft failed to
score and the slate was wiped clean
In favor of the delegates instructed
for the secretary of war. One Flor
ida district. the third, and three
Georgia districts, the first, second and
third, were passed over until Mon-
day because the Representatives of
the anti-Taft delegations were not
ready to proceed. Counsel for the
delegations instructed for Taft moved
postponement and announced that
they did not desire to take SNAP
judgment"
Near a Personal Encounter.
Vigorous use of the gaveI by Chair
man New and the interference of
friends was all that prevented a per-
sOnal encounter between the princi-
pals in the Florida state contest. The
proceedings were enlivened also 6y
the assertion that Representative But
Ter Ames Of Massachusetts, who is
said to have engineered the anti-Taft
fight in Florida, was responsible for
the use of alleged forged tickets of
admission to the state convention
hall. This charge was made in the
form of an admission by former
United States District Attorney ]. N.
STRIPPING, one of the anti-Taft con-
testants, who spoke in opposition to
the seating of the Taft delegation.
1t created a distinct sensation. 1t

Vice Presidential Talk.
The vice presidential situation mas
become the subject of much talk
among the national committeeman, &C
cording to a number of well informed
politicians. 1t was said that there is
a great deal of discussion behind
closed doors, and the impression pre-
rails that it will be the sentiment OF
the convention that an eastern man,
preferably one from New York state,
should be named. Secretary Cortel-
you is favored, but some members
doubt the political wisdom Of taking
the entire ticket from the Roosevelt
cabinet. Representative Sherman,
chairman of the congressional COM
mittee, and Representative J. 5. Sloat
Fassett are also mentioned. There
are other members of the committee
who are inclined to the belief that
Senator Dolliver is in the running
