tBy Special Leased Wire to New MexicanJ
Chicago, ILL.,, May 2S.-Illinois dele
gates instructed for Roosevelt were in

At the Call of the Chief.
Roosevelt supporters believe the
position of the former President on

tie Saturday meeting. The invitation
came through Medill Mccormick
Ormsby McHarg. who has charge of
the Roosevelt contested delegates, de-
clared that his preparations were
practically complete for the contest
committee hearings which are to be-
gin June 6. He asserted that regard
less of the outcome, Colonel Roose-
welt would be the Republican nominee.
Declares Roosevelt Will Be Nominee.
There will be about 260 contests,
said Mr.. McHarg, "and we expect to
win at least a majority of them for
Colonel Roosevelt, although he can
