TIL. DOliveT movement experienced
varying features today. Early in tn"
day it was reported that the White
Trus> favored an Iowan-rithcr Dot
liver or Governor Cumm'ns -whlch
sent DOllivcr stock up with bound.
But this was offset by the action or
thu. Ohio managers who are supposed
to reflect Secretary TaftS wishes IN
formally declaring that the Tart
forces are scrupulousiy avoiding IN"
support Of any vice Presidential can
didatc. Moreover Chairman Perkins.
&c the Iowa d"lcg2ti'n. and Congress
man Hepburn, of iowa. called On tx
Governor Hcrrick. chairman of the
! Ohio forces. and told him positively
that Doiliver could not and would not
be 4 candidate.
This brought the Dollivcr stock
down again and tonight it stands at
the same level as vest rday.
The movement for Sherman or some
other New York man is similarly
checked by the decision of the stat"
not to present a candidate for second
place until Governor Hughes name is
eliminated for first place either by the
ballots or by his withdrawal.
Congressman Herl"rt Parsons. OF
New York. in telegram sent to the
governor TO-DAY sought TO draw his at
tention to the opportunity of with
drawal. but in his reply Governor
Hughes said he did not believe such
an exisency existed as would justify
him in directing the withdrawal Of his
name. :

ture legislation has led TO renewed
consideration of some Of the details
