FIGHT on TAFT INSTRUCTIONS.
senator Crane FavOrs an Unfettered Dele
ration From Massachusetts.


BOSTON, Jan. SO.--That there is going
to be a hard contest over the matter OF in-
strIIctinR delegates who will go to the Re
publican national convention from this
State now seems assured. The reports
from Washington are that Senator Crane
may come to this city and work for un-
pledged delegates. provided former Con-
gressman Powers persists In seeking
pledged delegates.
It Is certain that Mr.. Powers as manager
of the Taft campaign in Massachusetts,
win seek to have the delegates Uniformed"
as to the sentiments OF the people. The
idea Of Mr.. Taft's manager is not TO have
the delegates formally instructed how 70
vote IN the national convention but to have
the local conventions pass resolutions
favoring one Of the Presidential candidates.
The Taft men feel that their friend would
thus capture the delegation from this
State. II Senator Crane doee not make
a fight for no instructions Il will be in the
interest Of some one else.
MIR. Powers is going ahead with his prera-
rations for getting the people to indorse
his candidate and within two weeks ex-
poets to have a committee organized to
carry out his ideas.
So far as Il apparent, Senator Lodge
is not taking sides with either fact on in
this matter and 10 looks as II he was williI
to keep his hands on and let Senator Crar q
and Mr.. Powers wage their own contest
as best suits them. The latter said to-day
that he had been told that Senator Lodge
is favorable to Taft. He also said that
many Massachusetts, reople would like to
see Mr.. Crane as Taft's rVnning mate.
