''Place to Go"
(By a star Correspondent

Chicago, Ills, June 6. This Is
gcing to be a pretty oressy convention
and as the weather has been delight
fui 1t gives opportunity for the pea
cccks to spread themselves. Many of
the men here appear to attract an i'm
portance to attire that bids fair to
furnish much entertainment.
The high hat and the slouch hat
still have their vogues, but the ma
1ority of the men are wearing straw
hats with the giddiest kind of bands.
A dozen years ago there was nothing
but high hats for the Northern men
and the black slouch hat for the men
from the West and the South. Any
one who wore else was not considered
statesman. Now the high hat and
frock coat are scarce articles and
while the slouch holds on they don't
wear the frock coat with 1t except at
a rate of one in seventeen. The
Southerners are wearing fiannels or
other light clothes although the lake
breezes do make them look uncom-
Portable. The Northern men. es-
pecially from the big cities, seem to
have adopted the cutaway and the one
button is pretty generally worn.

Chicago, Ills, June 6. - Whether
it will be peace or war within the Re-
publican party in Pennsylvania will
be determined before the sun sets to-
night. Governor Brumbaugh having
acqriesced in the suggestion that he
make no contest against Senator Pen
rose for chairman of the Pennsylvania
delegation, his friends are insisting
that the other side show a spirit of
reciprocity by giving him a vote as
nearly unanimous as possible within
the delegation for President. This
matter was brought to a focus at the
conference of the Brumbaugh dele
gates last night when EX-Lieutenant
Governor Louis A. Watres, of Scran-
ton, in a strong speech declared that
the Governor having stepped aside for
Senator Penrose for chairman it was
but fair in view of the large vote
polled for DR.. Brumbaugh in the
Pr Iesidential primaries, that the dele
CATION should support him in the con-
vcntion.
Governor Brumbaugh in his speech
reiterated that he was willing now or
at any other time to step aside in the
interest of any one from a sister State

that Col. Roosevelt had not said that

Perkins said. when he does speak,

just little address, 1t is a gross in
justice to him. 1t is unbelievable that
he should do this for such a purpose
Whoever tried to use this statement
for the purpose of getting him the
nomination, places him in an insincere
position and does a gross injustice"

Later Mr.. Perkins issued statement
to the progressive delegates reminding
them they are not in Chicago agains

here for the avowed purpose of beint

thirty others at a conference late last
night came to a decision that the con-
vention should nominate Roosevelt as
soon as nominations could be reached
in the regular order of business and
that nothing less than a request for
delay from Roosevelt himself should
interfere with that plan. They agree
that if their program went through
and the Colonel was nominated at
once, Governor johnson would take
the second place, as he did four years
ago All of this is contingent, how
ever, upon failure of the leaders OF
both parties to agree upon COM
promise candidate.
t. r. Move Shows Itself
The movement for the immediate
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt be-
gan to show itself early to-day. The
Progressives opened headquarters in
the Florentine room of the Congress
Hotel. from which the Roosevelt fight
was directed four years ago, and be-
fore the delegates were at breakfast,
Roosevelt boosters were abroad cheer
ing and shouting and stirring up dem
onstrations for the Colonel. This was
part of the plan matured at recent
conferences.
All of the Progressive leaders who
are striving for harmony realize the
difficulty OF holding the Roosevelt en-
thusasts from a nomination beyond
Thursday. Most of the Progressive
delegates were elected as Roosevelt
men and they are chafing under re-
straint imposed by those who are
placing the demand for harmony
above the interests of their candidate.
Many Conferences Held
Many conferences have been held
between small groups representing
both regular Republicans and Pro-
gressives and possibly all of the lead
ers of both factions have at one time
or another participated in these ex-
changes of views. The announced
purpose of the meetings has been to
seek an agreement respecting a pos
sible nominee or issues on which they
could unite.
At the outset, the regular Republi-
cans were inclined to offer the entire
list of candidates now in the field as
proof that they are not trying to force
any particular man on the Progress
sives and to point out that the Pro-
gressives on the other hand have been
for one candidate-Col. Roosevelt
and that harmony is far off unless the
Progressives show a willingness to
consider their names.
Consideration of Senator Lodge

to Colonel Roosevelt

Oyster Bay, n. Y, June 6. - The
nomination of General Leonard Wood
for the presidency would be accept

as a solution of the situation at Chi
cage, according to two visitors who
called upon the former President to-
day just before he left for New York
to visit his publishers. They asserted
that Colonel Roosevelt told them that
while he was neither for nor against
any candidate" that General Wood
would be the most acceptable to
him." and that he would throw his
hat in the ring and go out and work
for him as a candidate" who was
thoroughly United States and whose

GERMAN ATTACKS
ONLY HELPING T.R.
Leaders at Chicago Resent At
tempt of Hyphenated Citizens
to Dictate Nomination
[By a Staff Correspondent. !

Chicago, ILL.,, juno 6.-Senator Boies
Penrose and members of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation have been hearing
from the German-Americans as re-
suit of the rumors that the Senator
and the Colonel might make 1t up and
the Penrose forces line up with the
Roosevelt men. The German con-
tingent is very much against the
Colonel here and the Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh wings are being tapped as
vigorously against hun as against Will
son.
The bombardment by wire which
fell on the PennsylVanians came chiefly
from Philadelphia and one of the tele-
grams that reached Penrose read:
We urge you to vote against Roose-
welt. This county is dead against
Roosevelt. He could not get one of
our votes. Anybody but Roosevelt"
Men in other delegations got much
the same thing, but coming right after
the big preparedness demonstration,
the effect was. If anything, to make
the Americanism idea stronger. The
more attacks the German-Americans
make on the Colonel because of his
speeches, the more they are strength
ening him here.
The Pennsylvania telegram deluge is
said to have been organized by DR..
Charles J. Hexamer. of Philadelphia,
head of the German-American ALI
ance in the State.
Candidates are boosting prepared
ness and Senator John w. Weeks got
very much into the public eye by
putting out a statement for a big navy,
while one of the principal arguments
for Root is that he Is for adequate
defense measures.
The atmosphere is surcharged with
the preparedness spirit and the>dele-
gates and convention sightseers appear
to be bringing considerable more with
them. A. B. H.

With these two speeches in their

forego all resentment growing out of
the factional contest and demonstrate
willingness to get together by voting

to have been the result of this broad
criticism of the Progressive course.
Republican leaders were disposed
not to take the Lodge suggestion ser
iously. Some of them said openly
that the Senator's name was offered
would be impossible for the Republi-
cans to unite on his support.
Regulars Skeptic
The mention of Mr. Lodge as a
compromise candidate only added to
the skepticism of the regular Repub-
licans concerning the sincerity of pur-
pose of the Progressives in proposing
names other than Roosevelts. 1t led
to disclosure that at a conference
Sunday night between a number of
prominent Progressives and Republi-
cans. the former offered the name of
Senator LaFollette and asked the Re-
publicans if they would accept him.
The Republicans charged the Progress
sives with insincerity and asserted
that the Progressives knew there was
no possibility of Colonel Roosevelt ac-
cepting LaFollette, or of any agree
ment upon him. George W. Perkins
Immediately withdrew the suggestion
and indicated that it was made solely
for the purpose of drawing out the
regular Republicans.
Progressives Meet Late
The meeting late to-day of the Pro-
gressiVe national committee with the
State chairmen and chairmen of State
delegations were expected to touch
further the plan of temporarily hold
ing up nominations in the Progressive
convention. 1t was explained at a
meeting to let the outsiders know
what the insiders knew and propose" ="
George w. Perkins will address the
meeting and explain his conferences
with Republican leaders.
Chairman Murdock expressed belief
to-day that action upon nominations
by Progressives might be withheld un-
til Friday but no longer.
Convinced that Roosevelt cannot be
nominated by the Republican conven-
tion the defensive combination of
fGvorite son candidates which is said
to control about $50 votes, to day
eXerted its full influence to eliminate
Hughes If they can. In this effort they
received the united support of all ele-
ments of the Progressive party lead
ers.
This is caucus day for State delega-
tions and the favorite son managers
are busy tying up their men with iron
clad pledges to stick to the COM
bination until the break comes in ac-
cordance with some plan to be de-
clQeu upon later.
Nominating Speeches Friday
While the old organization leaders
are certain they have control of the
convention they admit the situation
is pregnant with uncertainties at
present. They hope that with Roose-
Velt's aid they may. be able to agree
on a candidate acceptable to a ma
jority of the Progressives and prevent
a third ticket being put in the field.
The days developments disclosed a
spectacular drive of the field against
Euehes but despite this, his friends
expressed confidence that he would
be named in the early hours of the
balloting.
The plan of the organization is to
have the nominating speeches Friday,
take two ballots and adjourn in the
hopo of effecting a compromise on
someone agreeable to the Roosevelt
forces.

the pinhead variety"
Mr.. Hammond said that to assure
prosperity there was need for a pro-
tective tariff for the development, but
not through government ownership, of
an American merchant marine, and
of American banking facilities abroad.
Mr.. Hammond used many Repub-
lican arguments to show the need for
return of that party to power and
dwelt upon conditions the country may
expect to face when the European war
is over. He concluded with an ex-
planation of the purposes of the
Worlds Court League, of which he is
president. saying that while it favors
the establishment of a tribunal to
which future international disputes
may be referred TO avert war, the
league earnestly advocates IAN ade-
quate national defense to prevent the

China or the agony of Belgium"
