CHOICE OF MR. BURROWS.
Gossip about 1t an Washington
Political Circles.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. May 1S.-The selection OF Senator
Burrows of Michigan. for temporary chairman
Of the national convention has been the occasion
of extensive gossip in political circles here, and
considerable dissatisfaction is expressed that the
press dispatches from Chicago give clew to
The which led TO the choice Of the Michigan
Senator. There is considerable disposition criti
that Senator Burrows has been in sym
pathy with the policies for which the President
and Secretary Taft stand. and there is some
talk Of the full committees rejecting the recon-
mendation of the subcommittee.
It is likely that the Taft forces in Wash
ington will take any steps 10 change the decision
OF the subcommittee They would have preferred
Mr.. Dolliver and supposed that everything was
arranged give the place to the Iowa Senator,
but they recognize the fact that Michigan has
given Taft a practically solid delegation and is.
therefore. entitled TO consideration.
II is believed, however. that if the idea gets
abroad that Mr. Burrows chosen with the pur-
pose repudiating the RooseveltTaft policies the
national committee will not abide by the action of
its sub-committee, and that the convention would
be even more unwilling to do so. There is precedent
the rejection by the convention Of the recon-
mendation of the national committee. In the con-
vention of 1884 the national committee recommended
General Powell Clayton for temporary chairman
and Senator Lodge presented and Theodore Roose-
Welt seconded a motion to reject the recommends
tiOn Of the committee and 10 substitute John r.
Lynch. Mississippi. General Clayton. This
motion was carried by of 424 to 3S4. The
substitution of Mr.. Lynch for MIR. Clayton was
however, attended with some difficulty. the
Yention had not then adopted any rules, and II is
regarded as probable that if the majority OF the
national comnitte indorses the action of its sub
committee the nomination will be allowed 10 stand
