who are in the confidence Of the Elk

most intimate authority it is said thai
it is Miss Katherine herself who has
halted the match.
The duke Is still insisting, pleading
by letter and cable code his love, and
his assurances that II she will marry
him she will be given full social
rights as his wife.
But, In turn, Miss Elkins Is still an
swering that she will refuse to be
bound by the limitations OF royalty
and, while she likes the duke, she
likes her freedom better.
She will not turn Catholic to com
ply with the religious precepts OF
Italy's ruling house she will not agree
to cent Of monetary settlement up
on him. She expressly stipulates that
should she consent to wed him, she
will marry as an untrammeled Ameri
can girl marries an American man
and that is where the situation stands
today.
Senator Elkins has put the entire
mateer in his daughters hands. lie
believes she will eventually refuse
the duke, and that, his friends say
would please him.

Mention of War Secretary's
Name Caused Great De-
mostration.

Boston, April 10.--The Republican
state convention was called to order
here this morning by Chairman Doty
Of the state central committee. The
platform which was prepared before
hand, opens with an expression OF re
gret over the serious illness of Cover
nor Guild.
"We believe the resolutions con
tinue, that he is fully qualified fol
higher honors and his nomination for
vice president OF the United States
would be gladly indorsed by the grea
Estate of Massachusetts"
The platform stands fo. The prin.
lciples Of protection. but recognizes
that rates or schedules should. from
time to time. be changed and revised
Certain existing schedules have be.
come i'll suited to present conditions
and should he changed, 50 say the res.
olutions.
Do Not Endorse Taft.
The platform endorses the Roosc
welt administration and postal savings
banks are advocated. In regard TO the
Taft candidacy for president. the plat
form says:
"a resolution that the preference
|of this convention was for Secretary
lof War William Fl. Taft for president
|of the United States was submitted
to your committee. Upon consideration
we have unanimously agreed that It
was not wise to include declaration
in favor of any particular candidate
in the platform. A number Of the com
mittee are favorable to Taft's candid
acy and we all recognize that major
lity Of the delegates to this convention
desire his nomination at the Chicago
lconyention. 1t Is, however, very un
icertaln as TO whether q resolution o.
preference would be carried and It's
presentation would certainly lead to
a contest which would be injurious to
the party. For these reasons and be.
cause of their earnest desire for har-
monious convention the minority mem-
bers Of the committee join with the
majority In their desire not to pre-
sent a resolution in preference"
Name of Taft cheered.
| Postmaster General Won L. Meyer
was made temporary chairman Of the
convention and made an address
which was frequently interrupted BY
applause.
The first mention OF Secretary
Taft's name in the reading of the res
outions was so vigorously applauded
and cheered that the reader was fore.
ed to go back to the beginning OF the
paragraph and repeat his words. The
committees statement that 1t consld
cred it unwise to incorporate Taft
preference in the resolutions was al.
so the sign for spontaneous outburst
of applause from the convention.
Senators Lodge and Crane, former
Secretary of the Navy John D. Long
and Sidney O. Bigney. were named as
delegates-at-large to the national con
yention by acclamation.
