Hearings Open to
Newspaper Men.

The one innovation will be a deci-
sion to hold open session of the com
mittee while hearings are under way.
The hearings viii not be "too open,
however a limited number of news
paper men will be allowed to listen 10
the stories Then they will be shooed
out before the committee votes.
The decision to hold open hearings
VAS definitely reached last night It
was decided after William 3 Mckinley,
manager of the Taft forces, Harry s.
New, chairman Of the sub committee
on arrangements. and one or two others
Of the conservative" faction held a
long and animated conference The
whole situation was canvassed. Nc
Kirley then formally asked in the name
Of President Taft that the public be all
lowed-through the newspaper men
to attend the hearings Mr.. New agreed
to lay the matter before the commit
tee. Old line members Of the commit
tee will be requested to vote for it.
They will vote as requested.
This does not meet with the full ap-
provsl Of the Roosevelt men. Senator
Dixon today voiced the complaint of his
faction
I'VE court full publicity" said Mn
Dixon This proposal is the height of
fooishness It is when the roll is called
that the contests are decided When
the vote is taken the public should be
present If the newspaper men are eX-
Guided during the voting it would be
the height of underhand methods"
Another move planned by the COM
mittee is disapproved by the Roosevelt
men Victor Rosewater will he electe I

Howell to Abide
Rv Committee Rule.

But Howell may be permitted to file
his claim If he does It will flrst be
assured that he will agree to abide
peacefully BY the rules of the commit
Tee. The rules will permit him to as
sumo his Office after the present con-
vention has adjourned.
Thus will the steam roller get under
way today.
But before it proceeds with the regu-
lar business of fattening out delegates
who appear before it in contest it is to
be thoroughly overhauled, tested and
put in repair The committee calls
this procedure adopting rules. That is
the important business today
TIE committee has heretofore oper-
ated only under temporary rules. II
has decided to frame permanent laws
for its own government. and today. a
report of the permanent rules commit
tee. headed by Committeeman Brooker,
of Connecticut, will be considered. The
rules will make two things explicit
the manner of hearing contests and the
limits of the term Of 4 committeeman.

tee will determine the methods to ue
used and while the report of the COM
mittee is being guarded WIN prope1

They win include a provision that the
contests shall be heard by territories
and states in alphabetical order; that
each side shall be allowed not to exceed
so minutes for the presentation Of each
contest over delegates at large and f1f
teen minutes for district delegates; that
where cases are similar district con
tests may be punched and heard all at
the same time; that the same evidence
may be used in various cases from the
same state; that no delegate whose
election was not in accordance with the
call and whose name was not fled at
the time fxed by the call shall be seat
ed. except that where there is no con-
test the delegate may be seated on d
majority vote of the committee.
