tion, the Taft forces agreeing to
fight the matter out before the dele

Governor Hadley began an eX-
planatiOn of the situation confront
ing the convention. He reviewed the
events of yesterday leading up to the
ruling of National Committee Chair
man Rosewater, which quashed the
Hadley motion to purge the tempo
rary roll.
I'VE could have met Immediately
and forcibly this arbitrary and un-
parliamentary ruling" said Hadley.
and he was rOundly cheered. I'VE
could have forcibly insisted on call
ing the roll on that motion and We
could have forcibly taken control
Instead we chose TO wait Uatientlv
until today"
Governor Hadley did not attempt
to 90 into details of the various con-
tested cases, saying he would leave

Hadley was given the closest at
tention throughout. In closing. he
declared that when the vote on the

on both sides of the question, the de-
bate waxing hotter and hotter as the
time allowed for argument proceed
ed. James E. Watson concluded the
h.,
He was interrupted several times and
there were renewed calls for Hadley
The governor appeared and then be
gan the greatest demonstration of
the convention up to this time. a
stampede for Hadley was started in
those 40 minutes of cheering and the
outcome of the convention may be
for Hadley as the presidential candi-
date.
The delegates burst into wild
cheering which presently brought the
delegates up standing. Then began
series of impromptu parades Cali
fornia began to shout, I'VE want
Teddy, and in a moment the whole
auditorium was a moving mass of
men with banners, yelling at the tops
of their voices, the galleries aiding
in the noise
After three-quarters of an hour Of
demonstration Watson moved to re-
fer the Hadley resolution to the Gre
Gentials committee
Governor Deneen of Illinois moved
as an amendment to Hadley's resolu-
tiOn that no man whose seat was con-
tested should participate in the judg-
ment on his own case.
Watson moved to table the Deneen
motion.
Chairman Root said he understood
the Deneen motion to mean that none
of the delegates named in the Hadley
resolution could vote on any contest
ed seat.
The roll call on the motion to table
the Deneen amendment began at
Ais and resulted in favor of the
Taft men by vote of 564 to 80,
