REPUBLICAN, BODY MEETS IN
CHICAGO THURSDAY.
Unusual Number Of Vexing Problems
to be Considered and De-
cided.

Chicago, June 5-Preparations are
completed for the meeting of the Re;
publican national committee on Thurs
day morning. The committee faces
tangle such as perhaps has never
confronted national committee Of
the party on the eve of convention.
The right of newly chosen commit
teemen to seats; the question of open
hearings of the more than 200 dele.
gate contests; the prospect of fight
to the finish on the selection of SEN
ator Elihu Root for temporary chair
man; and the belief that Colonel
Roosevelt and his associates will carry
into the convention their fight for the
seating of their contesting delegates,
are some of the problems engrossing
the attention of Chairman Harry S.

subcommittee on arrangements.
Roosevelt forces are expecting the
arrival of National Committeeman

er of Roosevelt activities in the ma
tional committee. Reports that Will.
liam Barnes, Jr., Taft leader in New
York, might hold proxy in the COM
mittee, further complicated the situa.
ton.
The national committee will meet
at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning.
Its first regular business will be to
name a chairman. Acting Chairman
Rosewater will probably be named to
succeed the late John F. Hill of
Mine. Consideration of new rules
and other preliminary business will
occupy Thursdays sessions, and con.
test cases probably will not be taken
up until Friday morning.
Two new contests, and two cases
where the number of delegates ex.
ceeds the allotment, were added to
the cases prepared for submission to
the national committee. In the Fourth
Virginia and the Third North Caro-.
lima districts contest cases have been
prepared; and in the Thirteenth and
the Sixteenth Missouri districts

gates were chosen.
