SAY NEW DROPPED HITCHCOCK
Rumored that the Taft Manager was
Forced to Relinquish His Seat as
Assistant Secretary by the National
Chairman-All Disputes Thus Far
Have Been Settled in Favor of the
- Secretary Of War-Final Outcome.

Special bN United PTeSs Wire:
Chicago, June 9:-The republican
committee today continued the con-
Bideration of the Louisiana contests.
The debate over them was lively.
The contestants declared the "regu-
lars" were elected by faction who
were disgruntled democrats and
were not able to carry an election.
The said the republican vote was
greatly reduced since this faction
had been started.
When the committee began its ses-
sion it was understood that 1t in
tended to agree to no compromise.
All thought on the part of the COM
mitteemen in favor of splitting
the delegates between the regulars
and the contestants is abandoned 1t
is feared that complications may
arise over the controversy and the
effect 1t may have on the negro vote
throughout the country is causing
concern.
A message was received last night
from Taft to seat regularly elected
delegates. If not elected should not
be seated on a compromise" This
was freely discussed today.
Friends of Frank B. Hitchcock to-
day are denying the report that he
has been deposed by Chairman New
as assistant secretary of the commit
tee. They say he asked to be re-
ieved as he could not spare the time
time for the secretarys work.
The allies held long conference
today, but they issued no statement
when it broke up.
A. u. Fisher of Ohio has been ap-
pointed assistant secretary to succeed
Mr.. Hitchcock The retirement OF
the latter gave rise to a rumor that he
had been deposed by Chairman New.
This report was denied, the announce
mont 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
