CHICAGO, ILL.,, June14.-An army
of visitors that is expected to sur

both the Taft and Roosevelt head
quartershave been located, had been
sold out for the convention week, an
indication of the crowds that are ex-

the big quadrennial meet of the re-
publicans.
The Blackstone, LaSalle, Sherman

predict that by Saturday night every
downtown hostelry, both big and little,
will be hanging out the sign Got

the passenger traffic of the railroads
entering Chicago likewise are of the
opinion that new record for crowds
will be established in Chicago this
week and next.

however, Chicago expects to be able
to give them Accommodations. More
than 5000 visitors are expected 70 be
cared for in the big hotels in the loop
