The President Believes He Will
Win
THE COMMITTEE FOR HIM
All Depends on Loyalty of Southern
Delegates-Fight to Be Made in
Ohio for Delegates-at-
t Large.

Washington, May 3l.--President Taft
was determined yesterday to fight to the
last ditch for his nomination at Chicago.
This decision was reached late yesterday
after day of conference with promi-
nent Republicans.
Persons close to the president made
no attempt to conceal the fact that Mr..
Taft was considerably depressed over his
unexpected defeat in New Jersey and
that in spite Of his assertion that he
already has control of the national con-
yention, the candidacy of Col. Roosevelt
was looming up altogether too big ON
the political horizon to conduce to COM
fort in the inner circles of the White
House.
Yesterday the president had 523 dele.
gates pledged to him and Col. Roose-
welt had 46l. The Taft men are claim
ing $50 and the Roosevelt men only four
less than that number.
The presidents only hope Of landing
the nomination lies in the loyalty OF the
national committee, which is to pass
upon the contests, and in holding his
southern delegates in line.
Many rumors were current Yesterday
of breaks in the ranks of the Taft dele.
gates in the South. II was reported that
number Of the Virginia delegates were
wavering and that . similar weakness
was being manifested in other quarters.
notably in Alabama. The Taft leaders
asserted. however, that they had assur-
ances that every elected and instructed
delegate would stick until the last gun
was fired Should there be any consid-
cradle upset in these calculations, the
presidents last chance will have gone
glimmering unless practically all the con-
tests are decided in his favor.
The Taft men, however, asserted that
they had the contest end of the game
clinched and riyeted. They were salts
fed that at least thirty,two of the fifty
two members of the national committee
will stand behind Mr.. Taft to the end.
They also asserted that they would vote
down the Roosevelt opposition to Sena.
tor Root as temporary chairman of the
national convention and early in the con
vention have the impetus of this victory
to carry the presidents nomination
through with a rush.
After q conference held at the White
House Wednesday night. at which Sem
ators Burton and Crane Vice President
Sherman and most of the members OF
Mr. Taft's cabinet were present, it was
decided to push to the limit the presi.

SUES RICHARD HARDING DAVIS.
Wife Of the Author Seeks Divorce,
Charging Desertion.

Chicago, May Richard Harding
Davis, author, playwright and war cor
respondent, was sued for divorce IN the
superior court yesterday by Mrs. Ceeiie
Clark Davis, who alleges desertion.
Mrs. Davis, daughter of J. NJ. Clark
of Chicago, was married to Davis on
April 4, 1900, at Marion, Mass, after
a romantic courtship. She recently ar
rived mere preparatory to bringing the
suit.
The bin sets forth that "from the
time of said marriage until the early
part of the year 1909 she lived with the
defendant as his wife and always con
Quoted herself toward him as true,
dutiful and kind wife.
1.-THE oratrix further presents-that the
said Richard Harding Davis, regardless
of his marriage covenants, wilfully de-
serted and absented himself from your
oratrix about the first day of May, 1910,
without any reasonable cause, for the
space of two years"

CHEERS IN COURT AS
GIRL IS ACQUITTED
Winifred Ankers Found Not Guilty OF
Poisoning Infants in the Brook
Ign Hospital and Infants
Hama

New York, May 3l.-Winifred Ankers,
the young woman accused of poisoning
nine babies in the Brooklyn Hospital
and Infants home, was acquitted on
Wednesday of the charge. She had been
on trial for several days past.
The jury was out little over an
hour.
The announcement of the verdict
caused the crowd which filled the court
room to break out into cheers.
The Indictment charged Miss Ankers,
who was a kitchen helper at the nurs-
cry, with causing the death of only one
Of the children. As the other indict-
ments are still pending, she was held
in $1,000 bail until the further charges
can be considered.
An important point made in her favor
during the trial was testimony that
her confession" was obtained by threats
to take away her baby, which was an
inmate of the nursery, but she has been
permitted to care for it since her ar.
rest.

dents fight for the Ohio delegates-at-
large.
Senator Burton has expressed an opin-
ion that, in view of Col. Roosevelt's ex-
tensive victory in Ohio, an attempt by
the Taft machine to force the election OF
delegates t-large favorable to the presi-
dent would split wide open the Repub-
lican party in that state. At the con-
clusion of the conference, it was decided,
however, that come what might the pres
dents hackers should use every means
at their command to bring about the
selection of Taft men as the Ohio dele
gates at large. The state convention is
scheduled for early next week.
