California Made Thorn Pause.
These men had not participated with
any degree of eagerness In tho assault
on Wednesday on the California state
law. whereby two delegates had been
taken from Col. Roosevelt, who carried
the state by 1900 majority. and CIV
en- to the president. They felt 1t would
be unwise to act further In the direc-
tion of supporting the charges Of un-
fairness and partiality which have been
made against the committee.
Moreover, the declaration Of William
Finn Of Pennsylvania and the leaders
Of other state delegations that II the
nomination were stolen Roosevelt elec-
tors would be elected next NoYember
tended to induce the Taft managers to
call halt in their strong arm" OPP
erations.
Advised Of the feeling among the
committeeman. the Taft managers en-
tered into long discussion, with the
result that the decision was reached to
endeavor to obtain a compromise. This
decision was strengthened by the in
formation they secured showing If the
committee were to declare the Missouri
state convention illegal the republican
party thereby would be deprived Of the
presence Of electors on the electoral
ticket Of the state. These electors had
been named by the convention.
NaasI Didn't Face Hadisy.
The Taft managers also were dis
couraged by the unexpected departure
from Chicago of Secretary Nagel. who
had been depended upon to appear be-
fore the committee and there state. IN
the presence Of Governor Hadley. that
an agreement had been entered into
while the convention was in session
whereby the delegates at large were to
be divided between Taft and Roose-
Welt.
Evidently Mr.. Nagel did not care to
undergo this ordeal. The committee
consequently was forced to take the
governors statement, clearly and force
fully presented, and 1t was backed up
by affidavits so strong that the result
could not be in doubt.
Z .!5c Tce. managers could have had
their way they would have been glad
to divide the Missouri delegates at
large with Col. Roosevelt but 1t be-
came apparent while Governor Hadley
was speaking that the majority of the
committee would not stand for any
thing less than the seating Of all the
Roosevelt delegates. AS soon as this
situation was established Senator
Crane told Representative Bartholdt.

with Governor Hadley in connection
with the district contests.

Tsxa. Contest Goes Over.
Under a tentative agreement reached
by republican national committee
members today the hearings on the
Texas contest were put over until to-
morrow. 1t is the expectation to argue
the Washington contests late today If
they can be reached. The postponement
Of the Texas hearings was requested
by the Taft attorneys. who asked for
further time in which to prepare their
case.
After the disposal of the Tennessee
contest Virginia will be taken up and
1t Is hoped to complete the settlement
of all contests in that state and Wash
ington before adjournment tonight.
