he was scheduled to attend in COM
pany with Mrs. Taft and their guests.
Representative Gardner Led Insurs-
ents.
Representative Paine OF New York
chairman of the committee on ways
and means, sought the support of Mr..

and the insurgents cause was advo-
Gated by Representatives Gardner of
Massach usetts, Madison of Kansas and
Nelson Of Wisconsin.
We're Frightened by Rumors.
The visit Of the "insurgent" delega-
ton to the executive offices consumed
most of the afternoon. The three in
Eurgents" heard it charged that Mr..
Taft intended to join hands with the
house organization in the interest OF
getting the tariff bill through as soon
as possible. Greatly disturbed by these
reports. they hurried to the White
mousse u urge MI ddAl " tdhe Il Spll
seat on the fence and leave the fight
ing to them. When they came out of
the executive Offices, Mr.. Gardner de-
clared. with an exhibition of conf
dence that the "insurgents" were no
longer in a compromising mood,
We are firmly impressed that Mr..
Taft is not opposed to a change Of the
rules" said Mr.. Gardner, but he is
little fearful that contest now
would cross the line and interfere with
the passage of the tariff bill"
