HITCHCOCK WILL NOT

Wanted to Keep Away-Taft Dele
gates from Third Florida
District Seated.

Chicago, June s.-The Republican ma
tional committee to-day seated the Taft
delegates from the third Florida district.
Frank II. Hitchcock, Taft's manager, this
Afternoon deferred to the protest Of the
allies and will no longer attend the meet
ings ON the proxy OF the committeeman
from New Mexico
A hurry call from Senators Crane and
Hemingway brought Congressman Nc
Kinley, the real manager of the Cannon
boom, here to-day. He is expected to
prove tower OF strength to the cause
Of the allies and to hold in line certain
leaders who are becoming too "radical'
in their fight against Taft to suit either
Crane or Hemingway.
The real reason why the managers of
the Taft opposition have decided to con-
tinue the fighting to get their contesting
delegates on the temporary srolI OF the
convention is that they hope later to
force compromises on congressional dis
triets where the party is badly split.
The presidency is the big stake, but
they are not losing sight Of the fact that
any errors will be taken advantage of BY
the Democrats to gain congressman.
