Enjoys Quiet Stay at Sum
mer HOme-Selects the
Chairman Today

Beverly. Mass, July with a coat
of tan to remind him OF his four days
rest on the north shore. President Taft
left Beverly tonight for Washington,
hopeful that Congress will see its way
clear to an early adjournment so that
he can return TO Parramatta and his
golf stick.
One of the first problems he will
have to solve at Washington is the
selection of a chairman of the repub-
lican national committee. He will con-
fer tomorrow with members of the
subcommittee of the national commit
tee appointed for that purpose In Chi
cago after his nomination. William
Barnes, Jr.. former Representative
Herbert Parsons of New York and c.
ID. Hilles, secretary to the President.
have been mentioned for the place. The
presence in Beverly last night of Otto
T. Barnard of New York led to some
speculation as to the chance of Mr.. Ban
nard being urged TO take the place.
The President left for Boston in one
Of the White House cars shortly before
o'clock.

Washington. July 7.-tSpecial,)-T
holy calm of the Sabbath has not de-
tered the big pow-wowers from pow
wowing in both political camps.
A conference was held at Seagirt,
1t Is said, between Gov. Woodrow Will
son and William F. McCombs and Thorn
as J. Pence, the latter the publicity
agent for the Wilson pre-convention
fight, and it strengthens the belief to-
day in Washington that Mr.. McCombs

charge of the New Jersey governors
campaign for the presidency.
Pence Goes to Seagirt
Mr. Pence went over to seagirt to-
day at the request of Mr.. McCombs.
and 1t is believed that this conference
is significant. About year ago when
Governor Wilson's boom for the NOM
nation was Just getting under way,
Mccombs dropped In on him and found
the governor up to his neck In unan-
swered letters. The Wilson boom looked
good to McCombs and he proceeded
then and there to take charge OF II

the situation.
There was a good deal of talk to-
day over the national chairmanship.
Senator Crane said he could not give
any light on the situation; the senator
is not noted for giving light on any
situation, only in the most apologize
manner.
Many Favor Barnes
The feeling today however. seemed
to be that tho craftsmanship lay be-
tween William Barnes of New York and
Charlos Dewey HilJes, secretary TO the
President. Most people think that Mr..
Barnes will be the manager of the CAM
paign, because he was the real leader
in the fight In Chicago and succeeded
in handing the much damaged nomina-
tion to the President. HE is a true rep
resentative of the Taft crowd de-

nothing Is left for them to do but to

ought to be the chairman because New
