AR3iAFN from the Taft headquarters tomor row
 Such talk as there was about thu matters incidental or subsidiary tt the main issue showed little change
 Obviously, as one leader put 1t the tail goes with the hide who. ever has the majority of the delegates will control the temporary organiza- ton and probably the committee or credentials and resolutions. If il turns out that the Taft people have votes enough to nominate, their sla.C presumably will go through co sue cess. If the Roosevelt people have the majority they claimed tonight they would give no figures--they eau name their own temporary chairman and otherwise organize the conven tion
 One of the rumors late today was that there had been overtures from the Roosevelt to the LaFollette 'leo- pie in the form of an offer to join in the selection as temporary chair man of some one to be selected by Senator LaFollette or his adherents It was said the LaFollette men re jected the proposal.
 Behind the conflict of claims be- tween the adherents or the leading candidates and the grim silence from the LoFoiiette camp there rose up a lively little show of hope almost it might be described as confidence in the Iowa delegation, that out of the turmoil would come at last the nomination of Senator Cummins The Iowa men are not claiming anything except that their senator and ex- governor was the most available man"
 Plans for demonstrations of various sorts to offset the arrival of Roose- welt tomorrow were discussed by the Taft leaders, but no scheme was adopted. It was practically decided to treat the presence of the colonel with silence and disdain, although the Taft reception committee, which has begun the work of rounding up dele gates and caring for them, was urg- ed to additional activity tomorrow
 The Roosevelt leaders, themselves somewhat surprised by the colonel s sudden decision to come to Chicago, immediately planned to avoid any thing of the spectacular in his ar rival It was agreed that Mir Roose- welt be met at the train and taken immediately to the Congress hotel where rooms formerly known as the presidential suite had been Teserve ed for the former president The new presidential suite was today taken over by the Taft people as a general headquarters. After MT Roosevelt is safely in his rooms therA they say the program is for him to outline.
 Will the colonel make any speech es before the convention? ?" Senator Dixon was asked
 There is no speaking program know of except that MT. Roosevelt will address the mass meeting at the Auditdrium theater Monday night" ," Dixon replied
 senator Dixon also said he did not know whether the speakers first se- lected for the mass meeting had bedl notified that they would not be neetN ed, but he supposed information would ultimately reach them.
 The senator had talked over the tUttlh0hC tFJ &0tVhtt aeVVoSf taS Naiff in the day and when asked why Roose- welt had decided to come to Chicago, he said it was merely to expedite matters
 Tt is very difficult in such a sit uation as this to conduct negotiations over the telephone, said Senator Dixon. 'He is coming here to be in touch and to aid us in fighting the men who would steal the nomination away from the Republicans of the country"
 Was he asked to come because it was deemed a crisis had arrived which demanded his presence in or der to save the situation?" Mr. Dixon was asked.
 There is apparently a good sized crisis when one considers the thiev- cry of the national committee in ov- erriding the win of the so7ereign states in their choice of delegates to this convention" the senator replied
 Viii Colonel Roosevelt go to the national convention?"
 T don't believe Director Mckinley of the Taft campaign will give Mr Roosevelt a ticket and I'm sure the sergeant -at-arms would not admit him without one.' said the senator. The Roosevelt manager smiled as ae spoke.
 It was subsequently, learned that Colonel Roosevelt is expected to re. main in Chicago until the close or the convention and that he plans z appear in the convention hall and may be given an opportunity to address the convention in his own behalf. Such a development, unpreceden,r1 in every essential undoubtedly would furnish material for sensational demonstration.
 News of the Colonels coming kind led enthusiasm in the regular meet ; ing of the Roosevelt delegates at the Congres hotel. William Flynn of Pennsylvania, who presided, urged the delegates to get out and drag into Mir. Roosevelts headquarters any of the wayering Taft delegates.
 Make them understand he in sisted, that no matter who is nom mated, the Republican electors in the great Republican states are going to vote for Theodore Roosevelt in the electoral college
 The gathering developed into an experience meeting and was address ed by several of the Roosevelt con testing delegates from southern states who had been unseated by the nation
