 Today there were more requests for even money on this proposition, which means it is said, that betting has swung a shade in Tafts favor since his forces drew first blood in the opening battle by naming Root as temporary chairman.
 Yesterday Roosevelt's chances were measured by the betting odds of to 10; today to 10 is being asked by those who wished to lay bet on the colonel's chances.
 Around the hotels this morning there were several good sized bets made at these odds. although some rabid Roosevelt en- thusiasts are willing to put up their cash among friends at even money. There was some tendency on the part of Roosevelt men to demand much larger odds than the Taft followers were willing to grant

 ON CHINESE LOAN

Her answer was to have ar rived here at Midday. The delay is caus- ing considerable disquietude among the international banking group.

 Negotiations have been difficult be- cause both Russia and Japan sought rec ognition of their special political inter- ests. Russia in particular insisted that the loan should in no way endanger her rights in Manchuria, Mongolia and west ern China.
