Required More Than Five Hours to
Take the Vote.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 1S.-Against
the threats, charges and bitter invec-
tive of the Roosevelt forces, the Taft
supporters in the Republican Nation
al Convention to-day put through the
first portion of their program by
electing Senator Elihu Root, of New
York, as temporary chairman. In
spite of the fact that Victor Rosewa-
ter, Chairman of the National Com
mittee, consistently ruled out of or
der every motion made by the Roose-
Welt forces, it required more than five
hours 30 reach a vote on the Chair
manship.
The calling of the roll was beset
with difficulties from the very first
name on the list of delegates, but in
the end, when the tumult had died
away, Senator Root was found to
have won by a vote of 558 to 50Z
over Governor Francis E. McGovern,
of Wisconsin, with II scattering
votes and four not voting.
Tonight both the Taft and Roo
sevelt forces are claiming that this

absolutely sure to win.
The advantage appears to be
with the President, however, for
while he is sure to loose some OF the
votes that were cast for Senator
Root, it is claimed that he will gain,
If instructions are lived up to, some
of the votes independently cast for
McGovern.
Those leaders who have been urg-
ing a compromise candidate ever
since they arrived in Chicago are
pointing to another angle in the fig
ures and claim that they show that
it is essential to name a so-called
dark horse to save the day for the
Republican party.
While Mr.. Root was made Chair
man to-day and managed to deliver
his keynote" speech, the fighting
is to be renewed at IL o'clock to-
morrow when the motion of the Roo
sevelt leaders to substitute q new
list of the delegates for those seated
in some of the contested cases heard
before the National Committee is to
be taken up as the unfinished bust
ness. No committees were named to-
night and none will be until this mo-
ton to purge" the Convention OF
