SURE TO BRING TROUBLE
President Taft Has Tickets To Con-
vention Bt None to Go to His
Competitor

indianapolis, May 31,-Col. Harry
S. New, chairman of the sub-commit,
tee on arrangements for the nation
al republican convention, yesterday
at Chicago refused request from
Senator Dixon head of the Roosevelt
campaign committee, for $50 tickets
to the convention. Col. New explain
ed that. in other conventions the ma,
tional committee mad never recogniz-
ed candidates in issuing tickets. Four
years ago, $50 tickets were given to
President Roosevelt, but none was
issued for Mr.. Taft This year the
committee has arranged fot $50
tickets to be given to President Taft
for his friends, cabinet officers and
government officials, but no provision
has been made for the supporters OF
Col Roosevelt.
The request for tickets was first
made by Senator Dixon to Fred w.
Upham, chairman of the Chicago con-
venton committee. and by him re-
ferred 10 Col. New. The question OF
what pictures should adorn the con.
venton hall was settled yesterday by
Chairman Upham, who decided that
the likeness of neither President Taft
no Col. Roosevelt should be used in
the decorations. Reports that Col
Roosevelt would, and that he would
not attend the contest hearings or the
convention itself were heard. Col
New and Mr.. Upham were confident
that suite had been reserved for
Col Roosevelt in a hotel near the
headquarters and said they had been
assured several weeks ago that the
report was correct. The Taft lead
ers in Chicago expect Col. Roosevelt
will be there to take charge OF the
contests brought by his followers and
also remain in Chicago during the
convention. Frank W. Knox OF Mich
igan, manager OF the Roosevelt force:
in that state said Roosevelt will
have more than 600 votes on the frs
ballot. The talk of second conven
ton has been started by Taft mer
merely to make trouble"

vention is greater than ever before
according to Mr.. New Spectator:
are Offering $50 a ticket and the con
vention is nearly three weeks away
II is expected that the day before the
gathering is called TO order the GOV
eted pasteboards will bring 800 OIL
more apiece. 1t is estimated tha
more than 100000 requests for con
venton tickets have been received
by officials and members of the re
publican national committee.
Col New has received 10000 letters
from all parts OF the country askinl
for tickets, while Sherman w. Up
ham OF the Chicago committee hal
received 5000 requests. II is salt
that each OF the SO members OF tn,
national committee has received from
1000 to 5000 requests. The ticket
viii not be given out until Monday
Junel7, the day before the convention
is called to order. when each nation
al committeeman will be given his al
lotment for distribution to delegate
alternates and visitors. No COMMITTEE
man will have more than 300 visitors
tickets, while many will not hav,
more than 100.
