Convention Hopes to Crowd Three Days' Work in One and End
 the Session.

Chicago, June 21.--Republican lead CTS directing affairs of the national convention are going to try tomorrow to crowd the work of three days intu one. With permanent organization yet to be effected, with several im- portant contest cases yet to be heard. with rules to adopt, platform to be threshed out and nominations for President and vice president to be made, the convention will be called at 10 a. m. and every possible effort will be made to dispose of the ac- cnmulated business before the session is adjourned
 It seemed a foregone conclusion to- night that President Taft would be rencminated on the first ballot. Colo nel Roosevelt indicated that his name would not be presented to the "taint- ed" convention if his wishes were followed. It was generally believed the delegates instructed for Colonel Roosevelt would offer his name despite his expressed desire.
 Roosevelt forces have not abandon ed their general fight in the conven ton by any means and a hard sirug- gle is in prospect tomorrow over the Texas and Washington contests. The new rules which the Roosevelt peO- pie say are framed to perpetuate the present system of controlling a nation al convention. seem sure to precipitate a heated debate, while the platform may be assailed by the LaFollette delegates as we'll as some progressiyes in the Roosevelt faction. So 1t is x..4t ft.f knf ho look forward tonight to accomplish ing the herculean task before them by Sunday morning.
 The platform makers determined tonight to desregard entirely the question of woman suffrage. A com promise has been reached on the tar- iff, the platform declaring the tariff to be a matter of consideration and recommendation by the tariff board.
 Justice Hughes of the United States supreme court has sent two telagrams to Senator Root to the effect that his name must not be considered for the presidential nomination, and that if he were nominated he would be under the embarrassing necessity of declin- ing the honor. The telegrams were not made public, but some of the leaders saw them and all say their ruaport is unmistakable.
 Mir. Roosevelt's leaders were 10th tonight to discuss the probability of the colonel would not be placed in nomination. Mir. Roosevelt himself has repeatedly declared he would have aothing to do with the convention un- less it is "purged of tainted delegates. ?
 It was reported late tonight that Colonel Roosevelt already had told William A. Prendergast, who was to rlace him in nomination, not to pres ent his name unless the present con- frol of the body should by chance be overturned. Other Roosevelt leaders made no comment for publication bIr indicated strongly Mir Rooseyelt's name would not be presented.
 Frank A. Munsey. of the Roosevelt forces, said tonight:
 "Mr Roosevelt will be nominated for president by a new party. He refused to have anything more to dc with the Republican convention. He would not take nomination from that body if it were given to him. Taft robably will be nominated tomorrow It is now the earnest wish of Mir. Roosevelt and his friends that ths rcmination go to him. They regard him as the proper nominee of such a co1vention.'
