CHICAGO CHOSEN
BY REPUBLICANS
National G. G. P. Convention
to Assemble June 10.
J. F. HILL HEADS COMMITTEE
Formal Statement Issued by Commit.
teemen of Indiana and Ohio Ad-
vising Against Renomina-
ton of Taft.

Washington, Dec 13.-At the meet
ing of the Republican national commit
tee Chicago was chosen as the place
and June Is, 1912, as the date for the
next Republican convention. Ex-Gov-
ernor John F. Hill of Maine was chOs-
en- as chairman in the place of Frank
H. Hitchcock, resigned, and Harry S.
New was made head of a subcommit-
tee on convention arrangements.
In the choice OF Mr.. New the Taft
forces won victory in hard fought
battle.
The Republican national committee
here had hardly decided these ques-
tons and concluded its other business
with fair show of harmony when E.
f. Lee, chairman of the Republican
state committee of Indiana, and Ex-
Senator Beveridge's lieutenant, issued
a formal statement, of which these
sentences are the burden:
"Mr. Taft cannot carry Indiana. II
he is the nominee our fight is lost be-
fore gun is fred"
Republican national leaders discern
in Lees statement move on the Part
of the Beverage wing of the party in
Indiana to fall in behind the Roose-
welt movement
Harry New, Republican national
committeeman from Indiana, said
when he heard of the Lee statement:
Il knew several days ago that Lee
was coming to Washington to make
this statement. I-disagree absolutely
with his representations in regard to
the effect of President Taft's nominal
ton. believe Mr.. Taft is the strong
est man the party can nominate and /
do not believe that tbs Republicans of
Indiana will be affected by Mr. Lees
pessimistic views"
On the heels of the Lee statement
came another formal statement, from
Walter F. Brown, chairman of the Ohio
Republican state committee. Mr..
Brown declared few days ago that
Roosevelt was the choice of the Ohio
Republicans for president and he has
been urging for several days that the
Republican national committeeman
provide way for the holding of
Republican primary for the selection
Of Ohio's delegates at large to the ma
tional convention
1t was the failure of the national
committee to meet his views in this
respect that led Mr.. Brown to issue an
other statement This statement in
Inmates that the failure of the COM
mittee in this respect will result in q
more determined fight in Ohio.
