order, the delegates yelled wildly.
I'VE contend the convention should
not proceed to the transaction of any
business until the charges of fraud
have been sifted," Hadley exclaimed.
When Hadley finished, Ex-Governor
Fort of New Jersey took up the argu-
ment. Fort replied for the Taft peo-
pie.

ernor Franklin Fort for the Taft side
explained the point before the house.
He said that the chair had ruled on a
point of order The argument was on
the point of order. That was the thing,
he said. that must be determined.
Governor Fort found the way of his
speech making hard He was inter
rupted with cries of sit down"

When Fort finished. James Watson, of
Indiana, yielded ten minutes of his time
to Congressman Serene Payne of New

Hadley interrupted Payne.
Payne refused to allow Hadley to
ask him questions
Payne finished and Watson then
spoke.
Chairman Rosewater," he said, has
only asked you to consider these mat
tiers for yourselves. He is not attempt
ing to dictate He is the agent of the
national committee. He can only say
Present the name of Elihu Root for

Cheers interrupted the speech at this
time.
AS Watson proceeded, Governor Had
ley tried to get recognition with oues-
ton. Chairman Rosewater would not
listen and Watson would not stop.
Watson ended with move that the
appeal of Governor Hadley be tabled.
There was no second to Watsons mo-
ton.
Rosewater's decision was then read
by a reading clerk. 1t being a review
of the case cited.
At 1917 Governor Hadley appealed

James Watson, of Indiana, moved
that the appeal be laid on the table.
