TAFT STILL IN CONTROL.

Chicago, June 21.-The Taft forces in
the Republican National convention
further demonstrated their control of
that body, today. Tha convention took
up pieceineal the contests from many
states and in each instance the Taft
delegates were declared entitled to
their seats by majorities ranging from
a high water Taft vote of COS to i6t to
narrow margin of 542 to 500, The lat
ter vote was in the California case, in
which the convention rules for selec-
ton of delegates by congressional dis
triets came into conflict with the state
primary law providing for a state
wide vote on all delegates. Through
this technicality the Taft forces claim
ed the two delegates from the 4th Dis
trict. The ease was bitterly fought and
the voting was followed with the great
est interest, especially when it was
seen that the Taft people were losing
many Of the delegates that had been
with them in other contests.
Despite the fact that the Roosevelt
people were defeated in all their fights
todas, there was no intimation of a
bolt. Some of the Roosevelt leaders
had feared that the Californians might
take matters into their own hands and
fail to observe the Roosevelt program
OF sitting through the convention to
the end and then possibly taking indie
pendent actio. But their fears proved
groundless. When adjournment was
