Washington, D. c., June 16.-Rear
Admiral Dayton today reported that
the armored cruiser Maryland, on a
four-hour full speed forced draft
trial, of the California coast, aver
aged 1881 revolutions of her en-
gines per minute, and the armored
cruiser West Virginia, under SINH

tanned with a slightly adverse cur

OF the naval officials, speaks well for

Fight OF ALLIES
CARRIED TO CREDENTIALS COM
MlTTEE WHERE 11o CONTESTS
WILL BE HEARD.

7 !. ( = u : T.
Chicago, June 16.-The fight Of the
Aallies" to have the decision of the
national cimmittee reversed in the
cases of 10 contesting delegates to
the Republican national convention
was brought before the credentials
committee, which was appointed to
day, and began its work Immediately
after the adjournment of the first
session of the convention
The national committee favored
Taft delegates in each of the states
and districts involved in the fight
now before the credentials commit
tee. The number of contests the
"allies" decided to press, however, is
just about half of those originally
made before the national committee.
There was disposition on the part
of some members of the credentials
committee to accept the decision of
the national committee without fur
Their hearings, but this proposition
was defeated in the subcommittee of
five by a vote of three to two. In the
whole whole committee there was a
motion made to lay on the table the
report of the subcommittee recon-
mending that brief hearings be grant
ed, but it was voted down 1t was de-
cided to allow ten minutes for attor-
neys for each side in cases Involving
delegates at large, and eight minutes
to each side in the district contests.
The Alabama cases were called just
before 6 O'clock. If the plan agreed
upon is adhered to, it will take more
than fourteen hours to hear the CON
tests. The committee will continue
in session until all the cases before it
have been disposed Of, arrangements
having been made to have food served
to them in their rooms at the Coli
scum annex
The temporary roll Of the conven-
ton was approved in all instances
save where the 10 contests were
noted.
Every effort will be made to have
the report ready for the convention
when it meets at noon tomorrow, and
it was ruled that no member of=the
committee should discuss the merits
of the case under consideration longer

North Dakota Delegation at
Chicago Mum on Vice
President

Chicago. Ill, June Just be-
fore proceeding to the convention
hall in a body, the North Dakota
delegation went into secret con-
ference on the vice presidential sit
uation. Upon emerging from the
conference the members refused to
make any statement.
1--WE have not yet decided what
position we will take on any Of the
vital questions which are now being
fought out, = said Judson LaMoure,
chairman Of the delegation, ..and SO
there is nothing to be said at this
time by any of us.
Another member of the delega-
ton, g. J. Lord, said, tteven if we
had decided, we would not make it
public who we will support for vice
president"
The delegation, however, is close
~ aligned with the Taft following
and it is believed that at the finish
the North Dakota vote will be found
in the administration column. .
It became known, however, that
/ the leaders Of the delegation have
been approached by the leaders OF
the Wisconsin delegation, which is
endeavoring to put some of LaFol

Contest Complications.

There was but one hitch, and that
momentary, when Senator Burrows
announced that Louisiana had pre-
scented two distinct sets of officers
for the state delegation. He speedily
explained that this difficulty had been
adjusted by an agreement whereby
no member from Louisiana would be
represented on any of the committees
of the convention.
Burke Got Busy.
Congressman Burke of Pittsburg
took early occasion to get before the
committee on rules his plan to reduce
representation at future national con-
ventions. It was O'Clock when the
last Formally was accomplished, and
the strains Of the stirring national
anthem broke forth as the conven-
ton adjourned and the multitudes dis
persed.
Committees Hard at Work.
Tonight the work of the commit.
tees is proceeding, while the hotel
corridors continue to be the scene
of heated discussion over the vice
presidency and platform. The per

as though one OF those record-break-
