tive ess that Foraker will not get a single Ohio delegate. Enough county committees have been heard from. and advices from other sources received at Taft's Ohio headquarters to leave no doubt Foraker is overwhelmingly beat en- There Is no doubt whatever that when Senator Foraker gave out his re- cent interview, in which he opened the way to a compromises compromise Secretary Taft will not make-he real ized that he was in desperate straits. Arthur vorys has all along maintained that Foraker would get no Ohio dele gates, and it is now seen by conserva- alive Taft men here and in Ohio that he was right.
 A development of great significance in West Virginia Is that on Saturday the state central committee, numbering about sixty, met end all but two in dorsed Taft This means that Taft will have the West Virginia delegation.'
 In New York political circles here there Is much gossip as to republican delegates at large Various names are suggested on the Taft side and also on the Hughes side. One set of names suggested contained names of three cabinet officers from New York, Secre- taries Root, Cortelyou, and Straus. State Chairman Woodruff, Senator De pew, and w. L. Ward are suggested also. Senator Depew is for Taft, and is seeking support for delegate at large It is agreed that Senator Platt vii not be selected.
 Goverhor Hughes, of course can be i delegate at large If he wants to be, but l it is said here he does not. It Is mol ! improbable the three cabinet officers ! and Woodruff will be selected. This would be Taft victory in every sense On the Hughes side there are various aspirants including Odell, Black, Page Bracket and others.
 Representative Campbell of Kansas said to-day that while the Kansas les islature has been called to pass a pri- i mary law this would not interfere witt 1 the plan to hold the state convention on March { and instruct for Taft.
