NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEETS IN

SITUATION COMPLICATED
Committeeman Ward Of New York
May Lead Roosevelt Forces In Con-
vention-6arnes May Hold Proxy
and Take Active Part in Ooinas---
Howell's Right to Be Settled Soon.

Chicago. June Appropriations were
completed tonight for the meeting OF
the republican national committee
Thursday morning. The committee
faces a tangle such as perhaps never
has confronted II committee on the eve
of convention.
The right of newly chosen commit
tests of more than 200 delegates; the
prospect of IA fight to the finish on the
selection of Senator Root for tenn
'porary chairman, ana the belief that
MIR. Roosevelt and associates will
carry into the convention the fight for
seats for their contesting delegations,
are some problems confronting the
new and other members of the COM
mittee. 1t Is believed by national
committeeman now In the city that
the right of II. u. Powell of Nebraska
to the seat now held by Victor Rose-
water. will be settled within the COM
mlttee meeting Thursday morning.
The calling of the roll will bring Mr..
Rosewater's seat into controversy. II
the contest be decided against Mr..
Rosewater. which is not expected, an
effort will be made. 1t is thought, to
name Mr.. Rosewater as chairman of
the committee. to serve until the COM
mittee shall go out of existence after
the national convention.
Barnes May Hold Proxy.
Roosevelt forces are expecting the
arrival of National Committeeman
Ward Of New York. who Is looked on
as the prospective leader Of Roose-
welt activities in the national COM
mittee. Reports that William Barnes,
Jr.. Taft leader in New York. might
hold proxy in the committee. COM,
picated the situation today.
The national committee will meet at
