WISCONSIN, SPLIT
sCAREs ROOSEVELT

CHICAGO, June 19.-The action of
the Wisconsin delegation in splitting
over the fight ON McGovern is re-
garded as ominous by some of the
Roosevelt leaders, who fear that it will
react upon their champion g cause.
Some of the Wisconsin men are said
to have been considerably aroused by
Senator La Follette's insistence upon
inactivity during the formation of the
temporary organization. Half of the
States vote went to McGovern and
the other half scattered. MeGovern
himself did not vote.
The trouble reached a crisis when
Eddie Cochems of Wisconsin nomi.
mated MeGovern, thereby elashing with
Walter S. Houser, Senator La Fol-
lette's floor manager La Toilette him
self and others of the Wisconsin dele
cation. Under the criticism he re-
oeived he resigned late last night.
la defending his action on the floor
of the convention Mr.. Cochems said
that be had been justified. He ae-
cused La Toilette of a "selfsh and
perversely narrow policy"

.H0NOLULANs AMAZED
TO LEARN FREAR DID
NOT VOTE FOR ROOT

"CHICAGO, JUNE 1s. = TAFT
SURE. FREAR VOTED AGAINST
RoOT.-HOLSTEIN."
This cable received yesterday after
noon by prominent Honolulan came
like bolt from the blue, and, together
with another cable stating that Ha-
waii's delegation voted solidly against
Taft's candidate for the permanent
Craftsmanship of the Republican nation
al convention, set politicians to making
surmises.
On its face it would appear that Gov
ernor Frear did not receive encourage
ment regarding his aspirations for re-
appointment when he made his recent
call on the President, and that he is
now paying his respects to President
Taft by throwing the entire vote of The
Hawaii delegation against Secretary
Root, the Taft candidate for chairman
of the convention.
When the cable was shown to J. P.
Cooke last night he was much sur
prised, but stated that undoubtedly
some clear and satisfactory explanation
would be forthcoming.
81 do not believe that the cable is
correct,'' said Mr.. Cooke. 81 believe
that Hawaii's delegation voted solidly
for Taft IS support, as instructed to do
when elected, and that their vote was
so recorded. I think the cable is in
error. If it is not in error, I have no
doubt that the delegation was voted as
stated for strategic reasons, with the
full knowledge of the Taft managers.
Walter Dillingham; also could hardly
believe the news when the cable was
read to him over the telephone last
night.
"I do not understand the proposition
at ALL" said Mr.. Dillingham;. There
is sure to be something wrong in regard
to this that we do not understand, as
there is no question but that the dele
cation was elected here to support Taft,
and in regard to this vote there must
be something we do not understand.
:" In regard to the proposition suggest
ed-that Governor Frear may not have
received encouragement from the Presi-
dent relative to his candidacy for re-
appointment to the governorship-I do
not think that could enter into the
question one way or another. It would
have nothing to do with the Governor p
vote in the convention. He was in
structed for Taft-frst, last and all the
time. There is something about the
cable that viii be made clear and salts

DECLARES DIXON

CHICAGO, June 19.-Unmoved ap-
parently by the election of Senator
Root as temporary chairman of the
national convention, Senator Dixon,
ex-President Roosevelt's campaign
manager, said last night, "I'm not
worrying. We have 'em licked to a
finish. "
He declared that the "story of the
next few days will be a totally diff
ferent one" and in analyzing the
vote, said that % delegates that voted
for Senator Root have been instructed
for Roosevelt and would east their
votes for him when the time came.
This he added would "leave President
Taft short four votes of a majority"
He expressed confidence that the
creden ntials committee which will be
appointed win throw out many of the
delegates seated by the national COM
mittee.
