Chicago, June 21.-Exactly at 1926
p. m. Chairman Root called today's
Session OF the republican convention
to order and the opening prayer by
DR.. John B. o. Shaw was offered. 1t
was not applauded as was that of Dean
Sumner yesterday.
Root announced the first business to
be the report of the committee on cree
seating OF the Taft delegates in the
Ninth Alabama district. The report
was being taken up piecemeal, district
by district, and in the Alabama Ninth
district case, sustained the findings OF
the national committee.
1t was presented by w. T. Dovel1 Of
Washington r. r. Mccormick OF
Illinois presented a minority report
tayoring the Roosevelt contestants.
Hadley moved the substitution and
adoption of the minority report and
then asked unanimous consent for a
statement by Mccormick. r, j. Walk
er of Virginia tried to move to lay the
motion on the table and was ruled out
of order. Mccormick was granted the
platform and made the dissenting
statement, The prospect was that the
arguments and roll call on this one
ease would continue several hours and
carry the session far into the night
Another Taft Victory.
A motion by Hadley to prevent any
contested delegates voting on the ques-
ton was tabled 569 to 498. This is con-
sidered victory for the Taft forces.
Delegates Tired.
Delegates to the fifteenth republican
national convention, tired and eager to
return home, were prepared today for
decisive action at the coliseum after
three days skirnish firing between the
Taft and Roosevelt forces, that resulted
N nothing tangible but delay.
1t was evident early today that the
temper OF the delegates and not the
schemes of the leaders would hold first
place in the next twelve hours Of the
convention deliberations, and with this
in view the members of the creden-
tials committee worked all night In
an effort to have something like a

TAFT Favorite.
The fourth day of the convention
opened with Taft strong favorite for

third candidate the second choice in
the betting and Roosevelt apparently
out of the race so far as this conyen-
ton is concerned.
If the convention gets to point of
nomination this week. 1t will be late
Saturday. There may be q decision to
adjourn the convention until next
week. Taft managers claim he is as
sured of a majority Of sixteen or
eighteen votes ON the nomination roll

After an all night session the Gre
dentfals committee OF the republican
national convention at s this morning
had settled only fourteen of the sew
enty-two contests considered vital by
the Roosevelt forces in the appeal from
the decisions of the national COM
mittee. All these together with the
twenty the credentials committee took
up, upon It's own initiative, were set
tied for Taft.
CALIFORNIA; two Taft delegates were
seated by the committee early this
morning after a long debate, the mo-
tion to seat the Roosevelt men being
defeated, % TO 16. The debate on
the California case followed the re-
ceipt of what was termed an Insult

CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE
FOUGHT ALL NIGHT AND

York members of the credentials COM
mittee, said today that no report would
be presented to the convention until

not complete it's work and adjourn un-

the session depended entirely upon
their attitude.
Partial Report Submitted.
Committeeman Summers renewed
his motion at 11:55 but at the request
of w. s. Lauder of North Dakota,
ten minutes delay was granted. Mean
while the Roosevelt men conferred
with the colonel over the telephone.
The Louisiana cases were then taken
up, the fourth and fifth districts only
being considered.
At 1902 the committee voted to
submit to the convention the report
on the Alabama contest. The Roose-
welt members led by Heney and Hal

lay this action but Summers motion
was carried, 80 to is.

ton was tabled 33 to 16. The com
