 Washington. Jane 15.--It was stated at the White House today that the ad- u1inistration prefers either Senator Doll liver or. Governor Cummins of Iowa. for the nonipatioI1 for. the Vice Presidency.
 The shift of the adtnjntstration to the candidacy of either Senator Del- liver of Iowa ,or Governor sCunmins, of that State. for the nomination for Vice. Pfeside fs regarded as the outcone of developments during the last couple of days which have indt- cafed that Representatives James Sher- man Of eNew York would probably get the support of that State for second place on the ticket. It ia believed that if Mir. CorteiyouS had developed strength inn New York State su1Jicient 10 get the support Of the dsIegation. the an pouncenients made today in favor of Dolliyers and Cummins would not have been forthcoming. @
 sherman is regarded by the admin istration as rather too much of con- servative to, take secnod place on, the ticket and also is looked upon as lack ing ability to carry on a whirlwind campaign which the Vices Presidential nominee will probably be expected to do. There are many advisers in favor ofa Mr. Taft remaining e ahts home in Ohio, there to receive delegations and to make perhaps short speeches of well come to them. TherS are many daQS gers awaiting the Presidential nominee as result of Q monentary mistake or judgment fin making long political speeches which would be "a part of "a general stumping campaign. For that reason many of those who are inter- ested in Mir. Tart's candidacy win not wish to see him make tour of the country.
 { But in the case of Vice Presidential nominee just the opposite view pre- vails. Either Senator Deliver or Gov. erfor Cuanniins Is looked upon as an ideal campatgner. They are both sd. vanced in political views and would readily, 1t is declared, meet the ap- provaI of the great West and Pacific Coast States. They. arcs both ready takers an dare familiar with what are known as the Roosevelt politics. both of them having been particularly ener- eetic in co-operating in. carrying them out It Is believed that on the stump either of them would be ahle to fully satisfy the campaign managers by calling forth enthusiasm for the Re- publican ticket. At least such may au- thoritatively be stated to be the ad- mInistration view.

Ask. Huges to withdrn,v :.


 Chicago June l5.--Congressman Her. bert H. Parsons sent special tele- gram to Governor Hughes this morn Ing. in which he said that the nomina- tion of Secretary Taft was now practi- cally assured and that Governor Hughes was practically out of the rum ming. He advised the Governor that there was a general feeling that New York would be accorded the vice-presl- dency If a suitable name was. presented from that State. but so long as the delegation was bound by their obliga~ tions to Governor Hughes 1t was ina- possible to secure the recognition to which 1t was believed New York was entitled. He called attention to the language of the resolution instructing the delegation to vote for Governor Hughes until he was nominated or he withdrew. the intimatlon being that the delegation was powerless to act unless Governor Hughes should with draw.
 This was followed by a telegram from Delegate at Large Frederick R. Hazard of Syracuse who was named as a delegate on Governor Hughes's eug- gestion. Tn his message MT. Hazard advised the Governor that either Taft ar Roosevelt would be nominated for the presidency and that tue New York delegation could probably unite on ex- Mayor Seth Low for the vice-rrest- dency If free to act.

would Secretary Taft or any of his friends take any part in the contest for vice presidency: that they purposed to devote themselves to the nomina- ton of their candidate. and that they would make no effort whatever to .n- fluence the decision of the convention on the vice-presidency.

.Herrick .For Chairman.

Chicago. June i5--Int.vest in the question of the chairmanss.p of the new National Committee Is intense among the National Committeeman The Ohio delegates are very urgent that the traditional policy of appointing some trusted personal friend of the candi- date from his own State shall be fol- lowed On the other hand, there is strong pressure from Washington for the nomination of Frank H. Hitchcock The matter has practically been adjust ed by an understanding that Secretary Taft shall leave Washington on Thurs day for Cincinnati and that in case or his nomination subcommittee of the National Committed. consisting of three or five members will be appointed to meet the Secretary there Friday or Saturday and the chairmanship will then be settled.
 A new name was presented today for the chairmanship of the National Com mittee to manage. the coming campaign in the person of ex-Governor Myrton T. Herrick of Ohio. The name of the ex x-Governor was most favorably re- ceiyed in influential quarters. as he occupies the leading place on the Ohio delegation which has been in the van. guard of the Taft movement. and is a close personal friend of MT. Tart Much pressure has been brought to bear in Governor Herrick's behalf by members of the Ohio delegation.

Chicago, June 15-That the opinion prevails that with Secretary Taft as a possibility for the presidency, the vigorous policy of the present regime would be continued. was made evident today when State Senator Henry Earl of Missouri, arrived, carrying the longest and slenderest gourd ever grown, which Is intended for presenta- tion to Mir. Taft. The gourd was aI- most five feet long and of such size and shape as to make 1t look surpris- ingly like the proverbially Big Stick" It was mounted in silver and Mr. Earl announced 1t to be his purpose to for mally present 1t to the Secretary on tAe occasion of his official notification.
 Tt Is ar pretty big club" he said, but Missouri believes that the Ohio man can wield 1t; if he can't Missouri can show him"
 MT. Earl's weapon attracted i'm mediate attention upon his appearance in the lobby of the Auditorium Annex and from none more than from the newspaper photographers. one of whom asked him what the gourd was made nf

sniri. L.and, Hotel.

Chicago, June 1b.--The Grand Pacino Hotel has been given the name of Dixie Land" by the mass of delegates because of the number of Southern delegates which are stopping there.
 The majority of the Alabama people have been there for a week. Missouri came yesterday. North Carolina last night, while today came South Caro- lima. Georgia, Florida. Mississippi and Texas.
 The coIored men from Florida. many of whom made an unsuccessful contest before the National Committee. were still strong in their determination to plead their cause before the Commit tee on Credentials. They mold several conferences during the forenoon but refused to say whether they had ad- ditional evidence to support their case. Most of the leaders of the Southern delegations were about the corridors early rounding up their delegates for the caucuses. There were very few contests for places on convention com mittees or for National Committeeman. so that in many cases the states were made up by the party leaders and sub mitted for ratification.
 As a rule, the Southerners were re- ticient on the Vice Presidential situa- ton, although some of them expressed a preference for a New York man.

 That the friends of the administra- ton and Secretary Taft will have a good working majority on the Resoiu- tfons Committee was assured today by the action of many of the State dele gations in choosing their members,
