Chicago, June appropriations are

publican national committee on Thurs.

D tangle such as perhaps has never
confronted national committee of
the party on the eve of a convention.
The right of newly chosen commit
teemen to seats; the question of open
hearings of the more than 200 dele
gate contests; the prospect of fight
to the finish on the selection of Sen
ator Elihu Root for temporary chair.
man; and the belief that Colonel
Roosevelt and his associates will carry
into the convention their fight for the
seating of their contesting delegates,
are some of the problems engrossing
the attention of Chairman Harry S.
New and the other members Of the
subcommittee on arrangements.
Roosevelt forces are expecting the
arrival of National Committeeman
William l.. Ward of New York, who
is looked on as the prospective lead
or of Roosevelt activities in the ma
tional committee. Reports that Will.
liam Barnes, Jr., Taft leader in New
York, might hold proxy in the com
mittee, further complicated the situa
ton.
The national committee will meet

Its first regular business will be tc
name a chairman. Acting Chairman
Rosewater will probably be named to
succeed the late John F. Hill OF
Mine. Consideration of new rules
and other preliminary business will
occupy Thursdays sessions, and con
test cases probably will not be taken
up until Friday morning.
Two new contests. and two cases
where the number of delegates ex
ceeds the allotment, were added to
the cases prepared for submission to
the national committee. In the Fourth
Virginia and the Third North Caro-
lima districts contest cases have been
prepared; and in the Thirteenth and
the Sixteenth Missouri districts
double the number of allotted dele
gates were chosen.

were chosen, now number 238.

Des Moines, June 4.-United States
Senator William Kenyon of Fort
Dodge defeated former Senator La
fayette Young of Des Moines by ma
jority of approximately $4,000 for the
Republican senatorial nomination in
Iowa primaries.
Senator Kenyon's victory was
sweeping, covering not alone the Pro-
gressive congressional districts in the
north half of the state, but number
of counties in former stand-pat strong
holds in the southern and eastern por-
tions, as Well
In addition, Senator Kenyon carried
Atlantic, Mr.. Young's old home town,
and the Des Moines precinct in which
Mr.. Young resides.
Incomplete returns showed that
Senator Kenyon had carried the
three largest cities in the state, Des
Moines, Sioux City and Davenport, in
addition to Cedar Rapids, OttumWa,
Council Bluffs and a number of small
er cities.
Charles E. Rawson Of Des Moines,
campaign manager for Senator Ken.
yon, issued statement shortly before
midnight in which he declared that
final results would show Kenyon win
ner by a majority of between $4,000
and $4,000.
w. H. Wiseman. Mr.. Young's cam.
paign manager, admitted that Raw
sons estimate of Senator kenyon's
big majority was correct.
The Republican nomination for gov
ernor is being closely contested by G..
w. Clarke of Abel and P. G. Holden
of Ames. Returns, which were ex.
tremely slow, showed the former to
be in the lead by only a few votes.
A. N. McColl, Clarke's campaign
manager, issued statement claiming
Clarke will carry the state by big
plurality.
Holden's campaign manager was
equally confident of victory, while the
Proudfoot forces admitted defeat.

Newspapers computing the final re

figure the plurality of the former presi

On the Democratic ticket Governor
Wilson appeared to have small lead
but the returns were too few to In
dicate decisive result. Two CLARK
tickets were in the field, and this ap
pareutly worked to the advantage Of
the New Jersey governor.

had good lead over P. F. Wickham

The ten delegates to the national

sidered "at large" delegates were
chosen by agreement from different
parts of the state. The indications
are that Colonel Roosevelt will have
