lA SSe&e+AsSsas Ss t5sge5 ~ 45s1 seemed to-snjoy the realization that he was to be nomina4ed.
 Thomas F. Ryan, denounced by Bryan from the stage of the conven- tion, was one of the delegates whose half vote was cast for the New Jer- sey governor
 The Missouri delegation from their seats in the front row began a chant of Ryan and Bryan. Ryan and Bry- an. don't take the Wall street candi- date"
 The Virginia vote was a facer for the Clark men and many of them ad- mftted that there would be little chance of preventing Wilson's nomi- nation if another big state went over. This became almost a certainty when, a moment later, West Virginia cast her 16 votes for Wilson
 There was a general feeling among the ultra-Clark men that only a most sensational turn of affairs could pre- vent wilson's nomination within the next few hours.
 Bell Stone. and others were work ing hard to get their men together and hold them
 Tom Heflin of the Alabama, manag- CT of the Underwood boom, advised the Alabama delegation, at 12;45. to switch to Wilson.
 John H. Bankhead, chairman of the Alabama delegation bitterly denounc- ed Heflin.
 Mind your own business, Tom, 9 said Bankhead, with scowl. T am just trying to save your faces" said Heflin. Events that have transpir- ed during the last two hours mean that wilson's nomination is now a certainty"
 Alabama, however, refused to take any action at this time
 After the 43rd ballot, some of the ultra Clark leaders said that, while they would concede Wilson about $40 votes that they would be the limit of his vote and that he could not be nom mated. They claimed to have 36s '1ast ditch'' Clark votes on which they could reply to hold, out against Will son all summer if necessary. To this the Wilson men replied that if the New Jersey governor received any thing like $40 votes no power on earth could keep the anti-wilson delegates from climbing on the band wagon.
 Maryland demanded a roll call. Maryland gave Clark g, Wilson 5 F. absent 1 E.
 The 43rd ballot resulted:

MAYOR \ HOLDS UP .RESOL UTIONS ON
 FAIRFIELD AVENUE

Mayor Wilson today announced that he will withhold action on the two resolutions wF11n passed the Common Council last eyenins, one directing the Sewer and Paving Commission to lay sewer, the other instructing the Con necticut Co. to put it's tracks in shape in Fairfield avenue.
 The mayor, says the delay is be- cause he must confer with the city attorney as to the legal status of the Fairfield avenue section.

The first ballot today the 43rd since the convention began looked much like Wilson. His vote increased to 602 and he went far past the majority line.
 On the 44th his vote shot to 629. Clark had 3O6.
 On the 45th Wilson had. 633. Clark had 306.
 This result was made certain when Bankhead of Ala ba1na withdrew the of Underwood, and then inn nediately afterward Senator Stone released all Clark Delegates from their instructions
 Bankhead declared that Underwood would not accept vice presidency
 Stone comedies nomination of Wilson.
 Woodrow Wilson was nominated for president at Baltimore today, on the 46ths ballot.

JAS. H. KERSHAW HAS RED BANDANA
 READY TO WAVE

If you wave a red bandana at bull he will give you such a long ride that. it will cost $9 to send a postal home. If that is so then how about waving a bandana at bull moose. That is the chance James H. Kershaw is taking. As one of the leading mem bers of the Moose he has decid- ed that he will join the red bandana brigade and shout for Roosevelt. He intends to organize a Roosevelt club at once, and hold a rally. MT. Ker- show is on the level with it, too. The bull moose is one of the symbols of the progressive party and MT. Ker- shaw claims he can wave the red bandana at the moose and get away with it.

TAFT MAY VISIT WINTHROP.
PROBABLE THAT PRESIDENT
WILL STOP AT COLLEGE.
1t is Therefore Considered Not Tn.
likely That He Will be at Rock
Hill for Time.

Washington, Feb. 27.--It is learned
here today that President Taft will
probably visit Winthrop college at
Rock Hill when he starts for Sayan-
nah. April 80, to attend the centen-
NAL Of the Hibernian society of that
city. When NJ, Taft, about two weeks
ago. signi1e = intention of visit
ing Sava' Invitations began to

man practically all Of them had
to - sclined. The political situa-
t - As never more acute than Just
- and it is known that the presi-
t desires to stay very close around
/ashington.
I However. as he promised the Sa-
vannah people that he would certain
ly accept their invitation several
weeks ago, he feels bound now to do
so. The trip to Savannah is via the
Southern railroad, instead of by the
Coast Line, so that the presidents
stop by Rock Hill would re-
quire perhaps not more than a few
hours more time, and it is said here
today that as soon as the details Of
the Savannah trip are worked out
Secretary Hilles will confer with Pres
ident d. B. Johnson Of Winthrop COL
lege, so that necessary arrangements
may be made at Rock Hill if the stop
is made.

Denies Predicting Massacre.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Juan San
chez Azcona, private secretary to
President Madero, Of Mexico, in a
telegram received here tonight, re-
pudiated the statement printed in an
authorized interview" that he pre-
dicted a massacre of Americans in
Mexico If United States troops crossed
the line.
Azcona's message was sent to Col
ThOs S. Hopkins, who was his counsel
when the DiaZ regime, during the
Madero revolution, attempted to ex-
tradite Azcona from Washington on
technical charges Of political acts.
Col. Thomas today telegraphed Azuo-
ma the printed dispatch in question.
II beg you to deny that 1 have
mas reply.
Senior Martinez. the Mexican am
bassador today requested on behalf of
the Madero Government that the
United States customs officials hold
up shipments Of arms to Mexico which
might find their way to tie insur-
rectos. Acting Secretary Wilson, Of
the State department told the ambas-
sador he would confer with officials Of
the treasury department and the de-
partment of justice.
The request has put officials Of
this Government in quandry, for
when the Madero uprising was afoot
the customs authorities permitted
shipments OF arms to Mexico in the
regular course Of commerce, provided
IL was not evident that such ship
ments were part Of an armed eXpe-
dition started in the United States.

The point is that if Governor

When Mr.. McGill made his state
ment that the Governor had APPROX

was made by Mr., Sawyer to adjourn

thing had been disposed of in which
the House had any concern, there was
no opposition whatever TO the adop-
tion Of the resolution fixing today as
the time for final adjournment and it
went through like n flash. The Sen
ate, however, which was in executive
session, stated that II would not un-

CHARLESTON|ANS FOR TAFT.
THAT is, THE FEDERAL OFFICE
HOLDERS ARE PAT FOR HIM.
Roosevelt AppOintee Don't Think
The Colonel Stands Chance, and
Backing Taft to Man.

Charleston, Feb. 26.-The heads of
federal departments in Charleston
are all for Taft for president, so de-
claring themselves today in state
ments made to The Chronicle repre-
sentative. The positive stand of the
officeholders leaves no question where
they stand and their position will
doubtless be the position of the Re-
publican organization Of the State.
United States Marshall j. Duncan
Adams said: II am for Taft first,
last and all the time. Don't believe
that Roosevelt can get the nomina-
ton"
Postmaster w. l.. Harris said: "It
Is unfortunate that Mr.. Roosevelt has
come out for the office. l am for Mr..
Taft for president"
Collector of the Port E. w. Durant
stated: Taft Is the best man in the
world for the Office OF course 1 am
for Taft"
Both Marshall Adams and Post
master Harris got their first appoint
ments to their offices by Ex-President
Roosevelt and were again reappointed
by President Taft. Mr.. Durant was
appointed collector Of customs by Mr..
Taft, both men having been grad
yates Of Yale college and were per-
sonally acquainted before Mr.. Durant
aspired for federal office.
The regular Republican organiza-
tion has been pulling strong 70, Taft
for some time and the lining up OF
the Charleston federal Office holders
for Taft should excite no surprise
The organization Is close to Hitch
cock and the Charleston Republicans
have been claiming that Hitchcock Is
loyal to Taft and their friendliness
with the postmaster general means
no disloyalty to the President.
The feeling generally in Charleston
II Of course for Taft. There is no
man in the Republican party whose
nomination would give any thing like
the satisfaction and pleasure among
the people generally that Taft's nomi-
nation would give and the feeling
seems to be that Taft will be
named by his party to make the race,

PROGRESS OF REVOLUTION,
MADERO FORCES ABANDON
SIEGE OF JURAEZ.
Rebels Left in Control while Federal
Efforts Directed Elsewhere.

Mexico City, Feb. 2S.--No immedi.
ate steps will be taken to dislodge the
rebels from Juarez, either by siege or
battle. Instead the Government will
devote its energies to cleaning up the
district about Torreon and Chihuahua
This, according to the best informa-
ton obtainable, was the conclusion
reached at the meeting Of President
Madero's Cabinet today, after the diff
ficulties Of starving out the Juarez
insurrectos had been thoroughly can
vassed. A Government official point
ed out that it would require a. larger
number Of troops than the Govern
ment could spare to prevent the reb-
els securing cattle and provisions
from the surrounding country with
which to maintain themselves.
On the other hand, the Govern
ment has decided that military op-
erations are to be pushed vigorously
in the Laguna district. Troops are
being sent into that territory from
Satillo and Monterey and results are
expected within few days.
In response to representations made
to American Ambassador Wilson, a
body Of troops Is proceeding to the re-
lief OF fifty-three Americans who are
bottled up at Velardena. A report
was circulated here today that three
Of the Americans had been killed by
the rebels. but careful inquiry failed
to show any foundation for the ru-
mors.
What stand Gen. Orozco will take
after tomorrow-the termination of
the period of service covered in his
promise to Madero several weeks ago,
when he expressed desire to retire
appears to be giving concern. Gov
ernment officials would not venture an
opinion. but there was evident a lack
OF confidence in his loyalty.
In line with assertions by Vas
quista propagandists in the Capital,
that the end Of the month would see
various uprIsinss In this vicinity, the
jefe politico OF Zumpango, twenty
five miles north Of here, took to the
hills today with a handful Of follow
ers and what arms the band could
seize. A squad Of cavalry went in
pursuit of the rebels.
March is the date set for the Vas
quistas for d general advance on
Mexico City. They are not taken Sc
riously.
Consular reports from Durango in
dicate that serious condition still
exists throughout that State. The
country is said to be overrun by rob-
bing bands.
