Concern Shown at
White House Over
Returns From Indiana

The political atmosphere at the
v hite House was somewhat agitated
this morning over the uncertain and
not altogether satisfactory returns
from the primary returns from lndi-
ana. A majority of the Presidents
callers seem to feel for instance,
that the test of strength was not
as spontaneously favorable to MI.
Taft as it might be, although all
expressed the hope that the earlier
predictions of victory would be JUS
tilted.
Some concern was felt, however, as
to what the Roosevelt forces might
be able to do in the State conven-
tion tomorrow and there were some
that they would not be at all sur
prised if the former Presidents fol-
lowers should bolt if they were dent-
ed the right of representation to
Senator Cullom, the aged political
warrior from Illinois, when asked to
comment on the returns from Indiana
said he was ''surprise1." He did not
say on which side OF the fence his
"But S T if MIR. Taft has really won
eighteen delegates to the national
convention, as they say he has, he
has done very WELL" declared the
Just as 1 expected" was the verdict
of Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel. Harry New, has done just
what he said he would. He has kept
his head and has not talked up in
the air"
The Administration. at the same
time, Is looking forward eagerly ia
the outcome of the primary fight in
New York tomorrow. The general
prediction of the callers at the White
House from that State Is thGt there
will be at least eighty delegates
chosen for President Taft.

Taft Leaders Claim
Of Majority of 25O
Drops to 154 Votes

At the Taft headquarters in this city
today the claim of controlling the In
diana convention was made with less
assurance than last night, when a state
ment was given out by Director WILL
lam B. Mckinley that 1.-The latest ad-
vices from Indiana indicate that the
Taft people will control the State con-
vention by at least $50"
This morning the only statement pre-
pared by the press bureau on the IN
diana situation was telegram from
Harry s. New, at Indianapolis, VINO
wired, says the statement:
indications this eevning show that
we control State convention by l54 Votes
and will carry a majority of the dis
tricts.'
Claim Drops e6 Votes.
The claim made by New Is ninety"six
votes less of majority than the claim
made by Congressman Mckinley. as
given out last night.
Mr.. Mckinley and the head OF the
press bureau said they are not trou-
bling themselves to prepare a table
of the results by districts in IN
diana.
whats the use when some districts
are positively known to have gone our
way by large majorities and wheh IN
held at once. Conventions Of the
third, fourth, fifth, and eleventh dis
tricts will be held today, ana the sec
ond, six, ninth, and tenth districts
will meet in convention on lhurs-
day" o,soo,,,,
Mr. Mckinley was asked specihcaliy
if the Taft headquarters rested their
claim on the statement given out
last night He said aidrg yes out fe the New sgs
statement, of a smaller alleged ma
jority and a less confiding tone, ne
did not seem aware.
Regarding contests In dlstrict con
ventions and particularly before the
credentials committee of the state
convention, the Taft manager spoke
Il suppose the Taft adherents con
troll the credentials committee, he
said. AT least that is my under
standing. The Beveridge men used
to, but there has been a change since
1 believe" @r' N'
Referred to Indianapolis.
Asked if he did not think 1t likely
that the credentials committee might
attempt to settle the fate of the State
convention by rulings on contested
delegations and if there were not in
his opinion likely to be number of
such contests owing to the closeness
of the vote in many districts, Mr..
Mckinley replied
"Oh you'll have to ask them out
there whether there will be contests
or not. Anyone can start contest.
There are even professional contest
ers. They can start if they wish a
contest in the indianapolis district
where Taft won both primaries by
an simply overwhelming majority.
1t is their privilege to start a con-
test If they feel like it, Contests are
the easiest things to initiate, know" "

1t appeared that the three vagabond

been talking loudly I'm the inn over their
wine and into the ears of any one who
would listen talking that l was in pos
session of one of beloved Frances maps,
Gated somewhere on the eastern bound

liars and besides, it was well known that

fist against Pilon and threatened TO crack

Pilon himself had visited half a dozen

also the oldest fisherman. yes, and others,
even to Gaspard himself. Truly it was
necessary to prove Pilon a liar by going
to the village and proclaiming that l had

Then graver doubt entered my mind.
The little Frenchman's plots were never
simple: on the contrary, they were gen.
orally complex. Had he a deeper motive
under all this than merely that of Sc
curing the map? To be sure, the latter
would be valuable in his hands and he
would not lightly abandon his effort to
obtain it: but was he laying the founda-
tion of more sinister scheme? My
presence threatened his security, my
knowledge of his past was too dangerous
to allow him to rest in peace, even though
