Fight For Delegates.
NEW SEES THE PRESIDENT.
BIG Question In Selection of Deleea.
tions to Republican National Con-
vention Is Whether They Go In
structed or Uninstructed.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The chief is
sue in the selection of delegates to the
Republican national convention is to
be the question whether they are to
go instructed or uninstructed.
The anti-Taft Republicans, and these
include the men who are seeking to
throw the nomination to Roosevelt
will bend every effort to have as many
uninstructed delegations as possible.
President Taft's friends are fully
aware of this program and the motive
behind it and will strive for instructed
delegations.
The meeting of the Republican ma
| tional committee here, if it accom-
plished nothing else favorable to the
president, effectively disclosed the hol.
lowness of the La Toilette boom.
Republicans who are urging Colone!
Roosevelt to run again believe that the
surest way of promoting the Roosevelt
boom is for the former president him.
self to remain silent on the subject.

future would be directed toward put
ting Colonel Roosevelt in a position
where he will be obliged to say some
thing personally on this subject. Mr.
Taft's friends are apparently of the
opinion that the quickest and most
effective way to meet the Roosevelt
issue will be to bring the colonel into
the open if possible.

imminent as a result of the testimony
given before the jury. ]. e. Munsey,

tural Ironworkers' union, probably will
go before the jury today. He is said

House Favors Abrogation OF
Treaty by 800 TO | Vote.
BELIEVE GAR WILL RELENT
Every Attempt to Soften Language Of
SuIzer Resolution Voted Down.
New York Republican Mem
ber Alone Opposes Meas
ure to End Treaty.

Washington, Dec. 14.-By a vote of
800 to 1 the house of representatives
passed the Sulzer resolution, which
proposes to abrogate the commercial
treaty of 1882 with Russia because of
Russia's action in refusing to honor
passports issued by the United States
government to American Jews. The
resentative George W. Malby of New
York, Republican.
Government officials believe that the
vote by the house on the Sulzer resolu-
ton will bring Russia to a keener
realization of the resentment felt in
the United States over the treatment
accorded by that country to American
Jews.
1t is taken for granted that If the
president reports that st. Petersburg
still refuses to make concessions the
senate will at once concur in the Sui
Zer resolution.
Representative Mccall Of Massachu-
setts spoke in opposition to it. Repre-
sentative Mccall expressed the opin-
ion that the trouble should be adjusted
by arbitration, declaring that as q mat
ter of policy it was unwise to abrogate
treaty Of amity in the way proposed,
Representative Mann complained that
the language employed was curt and
impolitic. He objected specifically to
the provision which set forth in terms
that Russia has Disseminated against
American Jews. He urged that the
language be softened so as not to give
offense. Every motion that was made
proposing a change in the resolution
was defeated by practically unani,
nous vote.
Nearly forty members of the house
spoke in support of the Sulzer resolu
ton.
