 Convention Hall, Chicago, June 20. -Questioned from the floor as to the result in districts where there were primaries, Dovell's assertion that Taft carried them was disputed. The clerk read the names of delegates and con testants involved.
 Hadleys motion is that IS delegates should be stricken from the roll and Roosevelt men substituted Said de- cision on the question involved the very existence of the Republican party, hint at bolt being cheered. He read quotation from Roosevelts Mon- day night speech, which brought the crowd to its feet. He then read the minority report of the national com mittee against the IS. Senator Root announced agreement that two hours should be given for debate of Hadley motion to substitute Roosevelt roll for that of national committee, Hadley to control half of that time and Watson of Indiana the other half. Hadley, loudly cheered began his argument, repeating charges of unfairness and of delegates against majority of na- tional committee, rousing frequent and enthusiastic applause. Names of 15 signers of this report were cheered by the Roosevelt forces. Hadley out lined briefly but vigorously the facts in each contested case. w. T. Dovell of Seattle, Wash, opened for the other side, upholding the seating of the con- tested delegates in his state.
 Colorado delegates shouted: "Will you support the nominee of this con vention?"
 Allen replied he wanted to support him more than anything else in his life, but could not support a nomina- ton obtained by fraud, many on the floor cheering. Any interruptions by Taft delegates were squelched by Chairman Root.
 Henry J. Allen of Kansas spoke for I1duIey 5 UOIiOu. I1e CdllCQ DONCll statement fiimsy and reused applause by correcting Dovell's alleged mis- statements. He asserted the national committee gave in this case no real consideration and refused to examine the records.
 George L. Record of New Jersey fol lowed in support of Hadley's motion. telling in some detail about some of the contests.
 James A. Hemenway of Indiana op- posed the Hadley motion. He based his argument mainly on the alleged "regularity" of the committees action. He protested against the convention reversing that action at the request of a minority of the committee without having really heard the evidence. All but two of that minority, he said, have now been left off the national com mittee.
 George l.. Records assertion con corning the alleged frauds in the In dianapolis primary aroused the Indi- ana delegates to violent protest. An uproar ensued. The chair announced that if people did not remain quiet in their seats he would order the hall cleared of all guests-that everyone who left the galleries must remain out until the session is ended.
 When Hemenway compared Penrose to Finn in derogation of the latter, cheers of the Taft forces were prompt ly offset by concerted yells of a ma jorty of the Pennsylvania delegation for Finn.
 Chairman Root advanced and warned Finn that if he expected de- cent treatment for his cause he must give the speaker respect. Root an grily warned Finn, who stood on a chair protesting with a megaphone.
