CHICAGO, June republican
leaders directing affairs of the natiOn-
Ial convention are going to try tomor-

into one. with the permanent or

made, the convention viii be called TO
order nt 10 a. m, and every possible
effort VIII be made to dispose of tho
accumulated business before The sos-
sion Is adjourned.
II seemed a f0regone conclusion to-
night that President Taft would be re-
nominated on the first ballot. Mr..
Roosevelt indicated that his name
would not be presented To the faint
ed" convention if his wishes were fol-
lowed. II was generally believed tho
delegates instructed for Coloel Roose.
Welt would offer his name despite his
oppressed desire.
\ lIcrculcan Task,
The Roosevelt forces have not aban.
doned their general fight in the con-
vention by any means and "A hard
struggle Is In prospect tomorrow over
the Texas and Washington contests.
The new rules which the Roosevelt
people say are framed TO perpetuate
the present system Of controlling ma
tional convention, seem sure TO preci-
pitate "A heated debate, while the plat
form may be assailed by the La Fol-
lette delegates as well as some pro-
grcssives In the Roosevelt faction. so
II Is with some trepidation that the
leaders look forward tonight to ac-
cOmplishlng the Herculean task before
them by Sunday morning.
Justice Hughes of the Uited states
supreme court, has sent two telegrams
10 Senator Root to the effect that his
name must not be considered for the
presidential nomination and that If he
were nominated he would be under
the embarrassing necessity Of declin-
ing the honor.
The kilograms We're not made pub
lie. but some OF the leaders saw them
and all say their purport is unmlstak-
able.
The Roosevelt leaders were loath to
discuss tonight the probability Of tho
colonel not being placed In nominal
tlon. He has said repeatedly
that he would have nothing to do with
the convention unless It was purged
Of tainted delegates"
II was reported late tonight that
Colonel Roosevelt already had told
VIM. A. Prendergast, who was to place
him in nomination. not to present his
name unless the present control of
the body should by chance be over
turned.
Won't Take Nomination.
Other Roosevelt leaders made no
comment for publication, but indicat-
ed strongly that Mr. Rooscvelts name
would not be presented.
Frank Munsey, of the Roosevelt
forces, said tonight:
MIR. Roosevelt will be nominated
for president by a new party. He re-
fused to have anything more to do
with the republican convention. He
would not take the nomination from
that body if 1t were rendered to him.
Taft probably will be nominated to-
morrow. 1t is now the earnest wish
Of Mr.. Roosevelt and his friends that
the nomination go to him. They re-
gard him as the proper nominee OF
such convention
