Perturbation Over Californians.

There was some perturbation among the
Taft forces as 10 whether or not the
two Taft delegates seated from the
fourth California district would be able
TO reach their seats on the convention
floor. The tickets for the entire delega-
ton were turned over last night by Ma
tional Committeeman knight of California
10 Gov. Hiram Johnson. chairman of the
delegation. and one of the most radical
of the Roosevelt leaders. II was re-
ported that the two Taft delegates would
not be recognized by Gov. Johnson. This
would seriously interfere with the Taft
Ilans to have challenge come from Cali
fornia when Johnson attempted to cast
the entire twenty-six votes. The deleaa-
ton was late in reaching the hall.
There was relief over the California
situation when word reached the hall that
The two Taft delegates had obtained guest
tickets. and would sit with the delegates
