SITUATION is
ONE OF CHAOS
Outcome at Chicago Very
Much in Doubt.
NO TALK OF COMPROMISE

Fate Of Taft and Roosevelt Rests With
Action Of New York Delegation, the
Southern Delegates and Those In
structed for La Toilette and
cummins.
Chicago, June 17.-"Chaos!"
That was the answer of George
Record, the New Jersey progressive
leader, to newspaper man who
asked him to size up the situation as
between Taft and Roosevelt.
Record had just come from meet
ing of the inner circle of Roosevelt
councillors, of which he is one.
Records size up was accurate.
Within three days of the opening of
the convention there is no man here,
however much on the inside he may
be, but who will admit when pinned
down that he knows absolutely moth
ing about what is going to happen.
II Is an even bet whether Taft or
Roosevelt will have more votes on the
first ballot.
The managers of both candidates
are making big claims for effect, but
the fact Is that they are all scared
half to death and there is no real con-
fidence.
On paper Taft seems to have
hot 80 ad
together the delegates instructed for
him and those uninstructed ones with
whom he seems to have the better
chance, the total is slightly greater
than the Roosevelt probabilities. But
the margin is mighty small, so small,
in fact, as to amount to practically
little advantage when one considers
the tremendous pressure and influence
being exerted by both sides on the un-
instructed delegates.
Southern Delegates WobbIy.
Then, of course, the delegates from
many OF the Southern states are pret-
ty slippery propositions, and although
the great majority of them are in
GLTucIpu lOT ait IL 10 Auibf POooAbtN
that the Roosevelt managers will be
able to convince" some of them.
These Southern delegates and the
Barnes controlled delegates from New
York are the keys to the situation.
Then there are the thirty-six La
Toilette delegates and the ten Cum
minis delegates upon whom neither
Taft nor Roosevelt can count until
after several ballots are cast.
When the final show down comes,
what will La Toilette do? What will
Cummins do? What will Barnes do?
What will the Southern delegates do?
The fate of Taft and Roosevelt
hangs dpon the answers to these ques-
tfons.
II is very improbable that the an
swer to any of them will be known
until the first convention roll call
Tuesday.
Up to now there has been little II
any talk of compromise. The lines are
too closely drawn and the fight too
venomous for that
AS between Taft and Roosevelt and
the leaders of their armies it looks
like a battle to sthe death with no
quarter to be asked or given.
