 Expresses Surprise
By c. M. STANLEY

Washington, May 25.--(Special)- )--Tha. Roosevelt will bolt and hold an independ- ent convention if Taft is found to be in control at Chicago Is now an accepted fact. If Roosevelt controls the regular convention 1t is equally certain Taft's ad- nrers hy the thousands will not support the strenuous one.
 So that the republican party faces bad dilemma either way Roosevelt forces have already gone so far as to rent an
 independent auditorium in Chicago to be prepared for the situation which is ex- pected to arise, and among the conserva- tive, thinking republicans there is feel ing that 1t will be better to leave the re- publican party wreck on the shoals than
 t. permit the party organization to be re- sponsble for breaking the third term precedent.
 And among democrats here there is Q
 genuine feeling that Roosevelt as, the | nomine will be easier to defeat than Taft. He will labor against some enormous han dicaps, chief of which is the third term | idea, against which there is after ail a very deep prejudice among the thoughtful. | In no state in which primaries have so
 far been held has Roosevelt received more | than 30 per cent of the normal republican voting strength of the state. This does
 not look like popular upheaval for him. Looks Good for Democrats
 There are those who believe Roosevelt
 himself does not think he can be elected if nominated, but simply wants to defeat Taft at any cost. Taft and his friends want to defeat Roosevelt at any cost, so 1t looks good for the democrats.
 Meanwhile 1t appears the democratic fight has now narrowed down between Clark and Underwood Wilson Is not
 even given serious consideration Har- mon is practically eliminated and he failed to get the enthusiastic indorsement of his home state Bryan is given no con l sideration In the east and 1t must be | borne in mind that the east is going to 1 decide this contest. Which is more ac- | ceptable to the east, Clark or Underwood? ? | The answer to this question will tell the story. And it Is significant that thus far | Clarks greatest strength has been in the l west. with a-decidedly perceptible dimi-
 nutlon AS his boom has travelled toward

Sherman Is Reticent

Chicago May 25.-Vice President James sherman left Chicago late today after having spent day here on an 'errand, the nature of which he refused to make known. He would neither affirm nor deny that his mission was to communicate to Senator Lorimer the result of a recent poll of the Senate on the Lorimer case.
 At the senator's home, where is is i'll, denial was made that the vice president had been there. Senator Lorimer could not receive callers on account of hls weakened condition, 1t was stated
 The vice president a1ighted from train al Engiewood. a suburban station, and departed from the same place. I5lbridge Hanecy, attorney for Senator Lorimer, and William Lorimer, Jr., were at the station when Mir. Sherman arrived. They shook hands with him, but did not leave the station with him. Mr. Hanecy said sne meeting was accidental. he having gone there to meet Charles Ward, Sena- tor Lorimer's secretary. MT. Ward did not arrive.

Arbitration Is Tender Subject

There is one other subject which is a rather tender one with me. I am con- vinced that most of the audiences I had the privilege of addressing within the last year were in favor of passing and ratifying the peace treaties just as they were presented to Congress.
 T give notice that I have not lost in- terest in that point. and I have no thought of surrendering because I in- tend so far as I can and so long as I may raise my voice, to continue to favor general universal arbitration. l acknowl- edge and admit the power of the Senate. and l believe it 10 be a great part of the structure of our government, and I would not have 1t eliminated for anything. [ recognize the authority of the Senate and have no quarrel with the exercise of that authority but the ultimate source of all authority in this government is the peo- pie. It is the people who, by deliberate
 Judgment can effect a reform which comments itself to their hearts and their souls and their minds. and it Is upon them that 1 depend in this matter. We have treaties pending also with Nicaragua and Honduras to carry out the policy of the treaty with Santo Domingo and they ought to be ratified. "There are other aims of government to which reference might be made. such as the movement looking to greater econ- Ofny ana elflclency III government WoTiS and expenditures: penny postage through postal economies: extension of practical conservation acts; parcels post: revision
 of currency laws and prevention of panics: scientific study of industrial con ditIons and international Investigation of the high cost of living. But there is one subject to which l would refer in conclusion
 should the republican party take up the judicial recall as one of it's tenets, 1t
 would lose caste as defender of our civilization, maintainer of the constiti- ton. and an upholder of Justice. When we depart from the principles of the in- dependence of the Judiciary we shall lose the valuable essence of the administration of justice. and we shall retrograde to the point where the history of the decadence of republics begins. l am not unmindful of the necessity for judicial reforms. but that depends not on changing the char acted of the judges. but upon the change
 of procedure, the expendition of judg-
 ments. and the reduction of the expense
 of litigation"

 SENATOR LOR|MER
 HAS LOST FIGHT Almost Certain to Be Ousted
 From Senate HE MIGHT RESIGN
Vice President Sherman Goes to Chi cago to Notify Senator That All Hope Is Gone-He Is
 Reticent

Washington, May 25-Senator Lor- liner will receive direct word from his friends in the Senate that they cannot hope to save him in his fight for the retention of his seat While 1t is not admitted that Lorimer will be urged to resign it was stated he may decide upon that course.
 Vice President Sherman left during the night and 1t was said he would scrutinize poll just concluded. This poll discloses certain for I.orimer. 40; certain to oppose 39 It shows the doubtful Is. There is vacancy. The attitude of the senators whose votes are cIassed as doubtful have given the friends of Senator Lorimer much con cern. Although nearly a week has gone by since the poll was made the Lorimer supporters have not been able to add single name to their list.
 Too Many Doubtful
 Lorimer men were forced to the con clusion that the list of doubtful votes was too large to give them any chance to win. This was especially true if the case were. brought to a vote It was decided to submit the exact sit- nation to MT. Lorimer himself. It was decided he should be content to rest on his former victory and the fact that a majority of the committee which in- vestigated the charges the second time had reported in his favor.
 One severe blow to the Lorimer forces was the knowledge that Senator Cur tis, who voted for him last session, would be against him If the case again came to a vote Senator Curtis justified his change by his friendship for Clar- ence $. Funk of Chicago, general man ager Of the International Harvester company. The Kansas man said the testimony given in the last ease raises a question of veracity between Funk and Edward Hines. charged with hav- tug said that he helped elect Lorimer.

At General Huerta's federal head
quarters, Santa Rosa.ia, Mex, June 90
The order to move north on the
Mexican rebel stronghold at Bachim-
ba was given today by General Huer-
ia, the federal commander. The Van
guard of 1900 cavalry under General
Rabago is expected to be in frequent
skirmishes with the enemy. The en-
tire division, commanded by General
Huerta, probably will be encamped at
LaCruz or Concho at nightfall.
The outpost fighting has resulted
in a loss of several federal dead, 1G
wounded and 60 horses killed. The
rebel losses are estimated at much
greater figures because the govern
ment outposts claim to have occupied
advantageous positions in the hills
twenty miles north of here.
General Rabago reported he had
routed the enemy in every instance.

revolving around the bitter Roosevelt
fight to reshape itself.
Announcement by Ex-Governor Post
of Porto Rico that Colonel Roosevelt
had released his delegates was follow
ed in half an hour by statement by
O. X. Davis denying that Roosevelt
had given such release. This was
supplemented by statement by Col.

Talk of a compromise candidate be-
came general early today. In the fore
noon it seemed apparent that the
Roosevelt forces were disintegrating
Many delegates were of the impression
that such a condition would stiffen the
Taft forces while others expressed the
belief, that satisfied with beating
Roosevelt, the Presidents supporters
would be willing to unite on a third
candidate who would be able to hold
the party factions in line.
The name of Governor Hadley was
heard frequently i'll connection with
the third candidate talk. Most of the
New York delegation were in confer
ence until p. M. and it was said that
Mr.. Littauer, Roosevelt supporter,
had helped in a movement to launch a

The names Of Senators LaFOllette and
