The Contest Hearings Are Nearly Ended That the
Committee Expects to Conclude That Part OF Its
Work Tonight.

after a brief hearing the delegates
from the faction headed by Cecil A.
Lyon, the present national committee
man from Texas, We're seated. After
this decision the committee adjourned
until tomorrow.
1t is understood. although no official
announcement was made, that the
contests in the second and twelfth
Texas districts will be withdrawn and
that the arguments VIII only con-
Germ the first. fifth, eighth, tenth and
eleventh districts.
The delegates seated today from
Texas were not instructed, but Com
mitteeman Lyon. who directs affairs
generally, asserted that there was no
doubt that their votes would be cast
for Taft.
1t is the earnest desire Of the COM
mittee to finish its work tomorrow
night and it was decided that the re-
naming contests from Texas are to
be consolidated, as will also be those
from Virginia.
The situation around the hotels was
bat little more active than yesterday
no entire delegation being as yet upon
the grounds. The most important ar
rival today was that OF Wade H. Ellis,
attorney general Of Ohio, who brought
with him the draft of the platform. He
refused TO discuss its provisions but
asserted that in his opinion it would be
the best platform any political party
had sanctioned in recent years.
number Of Pennsylvania dele
safes arrived during the day and an
nounced that Senator Knox was in
the fight TO the finish. The bigger the
fight, the brighter they believed his
chances would be. s. 5. Stephenson,
Of Ohio, who opened the Fora ker
headquarters today made a similar an
nouncement in behalf Of the Ohio SEN
ator, asserting he win not under any
circumstances withdraw before the
end of the voting.
1t is possible that a hard fight will
result in the meeting of the resolu-
uons committee over opposing planks,
which will be presented by representa-
tives of the American Federation of
labor, and the National Association of
Manufactures. 1t has already been an
nOunced that a conference of labor
leaders viii be held for the purpose Of
demanding a platform containing
plank declaring against, or at least
greatly modifying the use of the in
junction in labor disputes. James W.
Van CleaVe. Of St. Louis, president of
the National Association Of Manufac-
turers today anticipated the labor con-
ference by issuing a formal statement
in which he bitterly attacked the DO
sition which the union labor men are
expected to assume. He declared that
anything approaching the advocacy OF
class legislation should be avoided by
the republican party. and he asserted
that union labor leaders who had been
mentioned in connection with the com
ing conference, be named Samuel
Gompers in particular, were members
Of the democratic party and should
