PANIC STRICKEN DELEGATES

A flood of gossip with a third can
didate as the solution swept the hotel
corridors. VIM. Finn, the new ma
tional committeeman from Pennsyl-
vania and one of Roosevelts chief
Iieutenants in the nomination fight,
confirmed the report that he had left
the regular Republican organization
after an all night conference with the
Roosevelt leaders.

CONVENTION NET AT NOON.
The convention met at noon today.
After prayer, Watson of Indiana, moved
TO adjourn until o'clock. The mo-
tion was carried. The session lasted
four minutes. The ostensible reason
for the recess was that the credentials
committee, working on the contests,
had only fairly begun work.
The o'clock session lasted one
nnlnute. Watson again announced the
credentials committee was not ready
and moved to adjourn until II o'clock
tomorrow.
Almost with the final fall of the
navel great cheering broke out when
some one raised the picture Of Roose-
welt. The anti Roosevelt men started
an opposition noise. Rain outside kept
the crowd inside. The la Toilette men
shouted for la Toilette and the Cum
minis men for cummins. The noise
was diminished at the end of thirty
minutes, the lights were turned on and
the police cleared the platform. After
80 minutes the people began to leave.
