CHICAGO, June 22-With nearly | $50 of the Roosevelt delegates de- clning to vote and hastening away i at adjournment in time to tender Roosevelt the nomination for new party the fifteenth republican na- tional convention at the end of a long and tumultuOus session tonight renominated William Howard Taft of Ohio for president and James S. Sherman of New York for vice. -presi- dent.
 The revolt of many republican dele gates in the convention was open from the moment the permanent roll containing the names of the contested delegates was approved A vale dictory' statement was read in the behalf of Roosevelt asking that his name be not presented and that his delegates sit in mute protest against further proceedings.
 A great majority of the Roosevelt delegates from Illinois and all the Missouri and Idaho delegations de- clined to follow this advice but Roosevelt's sway over the delegations from California, Kansas, Maine Min nesOta New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West Virginia was all but absolute.
 Most of the delegates from these states announced their purpose of helping to give Roosevelt an inde- pendent nomination in another hall later in the evening"
 The split in the convention occa- stoned no surprise, but it was the full fillment of predictions made during the past several days.
 The closing scenes of the cOnven- ton were marked by counter demon strations for Taft and Roosevelt. The first test vote after the announce ment of Roosevelts valedictory came on the adoption of the party platform by an affirmative vote of 666, the Roosevelt delegates present and not voting, 343. Tellre were fifty three noes. thirty-siX of them from the LaFollette states of Wisconsin and North Dakota. LaFollette was placed before the convention but Roosevelt's wishes were carried out, his followers remaining silent during the call of states for nominations. Many of the delegates. however, car ried out their primary instructions and voted for the colonel. On voting for president the Roosevelt delegates again remained silent. The detailed vote follows: Taft 561. Roosevelt 10I. LaFollette A. CumminS 17, Hughes ?; not voting. 344; absent G. At times, during the balloting the convention was in great confusion.
 When the roll was called on nom nations, Governor Deneen asked to have the Illinois vote boiled. He said that under the state law the dele gates felt obliged to obey their in structiOns. and vote for Roosevelt
 When the delegates refused to vote Chairman Root ruled that their al ternates' names should be called. This awakened the widest disorder all over the hall. The Roosevelt men in the Massachusetts legation stood on their chairs brandishing their fists, and yelling at the chairman.
 The leader of the Roosevelt men shouted, Massachusetts is d law abiding state, and will stand for no such stealing" This was the first time this ruling has been made.
 That's piracy" shouted the dele gates. Urged by the police and the sergeant at arms. the angry Mas sachusetts men slowly took their seats but the hall still rang with their protests and shouts of rob bers' and thieves" At last quiet supervened. Fosdyk. of Massachu- setts for an explanation of the chairs ruling
 Chairman Root replied to the challenge on the vote, that individual delegates not answering. required the calling of the alternateS.
 If I say present, is not that suf- ficient?" asked F'osdyk
 The chair thinks not"
 F'osdy;.e tried to appeal from the decision of the chair. Chairman Root ruled the appeal out of order until the roll call was completed. He said that before the result was announced there would be an opportunity to pass upon the appeal.
