Plans of the Roosevelt Men
at Chicago Convention.
Special by UnIted Prcss Wsrs,

Special by Untted Press Wtrs,
Chicago. June 14:-Except for
one bitter clash the hearing of the
Republican national committee of
contests. this morning was without
excitement. In two of the three dis
tricts that sent contesting delega-
lions all parties concerned were
pledged to Taft, so the Roosevelt
men sat back and enjoyed hearing
the Taft claimants roast one an
other.
The Roosevelt managers thought
they had a good ase in the third
Oklahoma district and made a deter
mined fight to land the delegates,
but the committee, after refusing to
submit to a roll call, seated the two
Taft delegates.
First blood was spilled just out
side the national committee room
today when Grant Victor, U. S. mar
shall, a member of the Oklahoma del
egation and a Taft adherent, swung
a hard right to the mouth of l.. C.
brought blood. The row started
when Disney spoke uncomplimentary
of President Taft. The police sepa-
rated the men and restored quiet.
Stating there was a drift Of dele
gates from Taft to Roosevelt, Sena-
tor Dixon, manager for Roosevelt,
declared today hal two of the North
Carolina delegates had assured him
that they would vote for Roosevelt.
Congressman Mckinley, manager for
aft, declared this was bluff, pure
and simple. However, it is known
that the Taft managers have been
busy with uninstructed delegates in
order to offset expected assertions
from the south. The Taft men in
sisted they did not fear the appear
ance of Roosevelt tomorrow. They
declared they consider it a confess
sion of weakness.
