MANY CAUCUSES HELD.
Small Possibility for Stampede for
Roosevelt

ChicagO.-Atter caucuses had been
held Monday by several delegations
which have been charged with harbOr-
ing intentions Of nominating Roosevelt
regardless of their instructions for
Taft, the possibility of a stampede
in the convention does not seem so
strong as it did Sunday night. The
West Virginia delegation met at the
Lexington Hotel and no suggestion of
violation Of the Taft instructions was
made. The Georgia delegation had a
conference at the Grand Pacific Hotter
and later the members threw cold wa
ter on the story that the delegation,
which is instructed for Taft, would
join other delegations in an effort to
stampede the convention to Roosevelt.
