Chicago, June When the repub-
lican national committee started
hearing the cases of the contested
delegations here today, Roosevelt
managers had abandoned all hope OF
seating any of their delegates except
those from the state of Washington.
The first contest was that of Alabama.
Roosevelt men today tried to break
the Taft ranks by the home influence.
Colonel Roosevelts personal friends
already are personally interviewing
each of New York's ninety delegates
for the purpose of swinging them in
to line and the Taft people have
started a similar campaign.
Ten reporters, representing five
recognized press associations. are per-
mitted to hear the contests. The
committeeman ordered a complete
stenographic report of the proceed
ings to be furnished the individual
newspapers but refused their report
ers admittance.
President Taft won the contest
over the Alabama delegation.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, a Roose-
Welt supporter, demanded that every
committeeman go on record, as to his
vote in every case, and he then
launched into a vitrolic speech, de-
nouncing the methods used. While
he was speaking, he was interrupted
by motion to table his amendment.
over Borah's protest, Chairman Rose
water put the motion and it was de-
clared carried.
Fourteen times Senator Borah arose
to his feet and shouted. Mr.. Chair
man. but he was ignored each time.
He refused to surrender and was
finally permitted TO continue his re-
marks.
Senator Borah said he knew the
steam roller was being used and he
again demanded a record of the vote.
The result showed that President
Taft controls the committee.
