Cannon and ;iughes,

Washington, May 1.-THE Republl
can leaders in congress are now work
ing earnestly on a Dian to prevent any
break at the Chicago conven ion that
might disrupt party harmony and en-
danger defeat at the polls in NoVem
/ Der. Conferences have been held
! among such men as Senators Aldrich
Haze, Allison aud Crane, and Repre-
: sentatives Payne, Sherman Tawney
J of Minnesota, and jenkins and Smith
iOf Iowa
The conferences have been directed
| to one end-nomination on the first
ballot by which they mean Taft. That
the efforts of those back of the har
mony movement have net been bar
ren of results is indica' ed by the fla t
that to number of the conferences
have been called such men as Sena-
tors Hemenway, penrose, Cull2m,
Hopkins and Depew. and Repres enta
tiyes Parsons, Vreeland, Boutel
Mann, Burke, Dalzell, Watson Landi )
and others who are backing the can
didacy of Fairbanks, Cannon, Knox
or Hughes.
No attempt is made to disguise tn 9
fact that the real imnetns OF su h
concerted movement in the interest OF
Taft is the refusal OF the Roosevelt
sentiment to be snuffed out and n
ger of such sentiment spreading t.
an extent that it might be difficult of
control at Chicago. At the same time
1t is said that the movement is not
hostile to Roosevelt, who unwillingly
occupies position Of command in
fectly plain that nothing can come of
renewed calls. for bis denomination,

who are parties to the movement

candidates from those states. The
harmony action is made because Gf
the fact that he is the on'y candidate
who has a sufficient number OF in
structed votes to promise an early
nomination
Republican leaders concede that
their majority in the house is iikel3
to be materially reduced at the fall
election, and they fear that unless
all factions are brought together b.,
fore the Chicago convention they
might lose their majority altogether.
One side of the plans discussed
favorably Is the renominatien n of Fair,
banks as vice president on a ticket
with Taft, which it is asserteI/ would
remove Indiana from the doubtful
column. It is believed also that with
the Republican forces soidy aligne
Taft could easily carry Illinois and
thermometers are willing to concede
Cannon's reelection as speaker by a
Republican house. There is a move
ment on already to bring about the
denomination of Hughes as governor
of New York, and an effort is to be
made to bring Taft and Foraker to-
gether which it is thought would
make Ohio safe.
