morning. but the men holding second
airy positions expressed this opinion
with decision. They declare that Ohio

ances and say that at any rate nothing
is to be gained by a change at this
time.
Ohio delegates said before going to
the Coliseum that they would stick to-
gether until released by Senator Bur-
ton. They had given a pledge of honor
not to break until released. The
Ohloans were not so confident that
Burton votes outside of Ohio could be
held.
In the Cummins camp, it was said
that some releases had been given to
delegates from the western states. The
Iowa men, however, will continue in
the fight until the end. The defections

Roosevelt will lose some of the votes

ton and they will got to Hughes.
Many of the Knox votes, it is expect
ed will be for the justice The delega-

delegates leaving for the convention
hall.
Root Men Not stampeded.
Before the time set for the repub-
lican convention it seemed proba BILE
that most OF the New York delegates

Root will continue their allegiance to

pected to go almost solidly to Hughes
and most of the Cummins delegates, es-
pecially outside of Iowa, will follow in
this direction.
There is a peculiar contest on over the
vice presidency. The two men most
prominently mentioned in this connec-
ton are Mr.. Fairbanks ard Senator
Borah of Idaho
Neither of the men wants the position.
Senator Berah could not be seen early
today. but he had consistently said that
it would be especially undesirable for
him to be named for the vice presi-
dency.
Supporters of Senator Borah are for
him because they believe that his can
didacy would insure the adhesion OF a
large percentage of the progressive
party, and they are bringing very
strong pressure to bear on him on that
account 1t is believed that in addition
to the effect of his candidacy in the
Indiana senatorial race, Senator Fair
banks name would add great strength
to the ticket in the west and among the
conservative element throughout the
country.

which the ambassador was alleged to

The announcement of Senator Weeks
news that Sherman had released his
delegates. The decision of the Weeks
and Sherman leaders to abandon their
candidates, and in the case of Illinois
to support Justice Hughes, became
known early and had a potential in
fuence in deciding the course iof the
followers of other favorite-son candi-
dates.
Senator Weeks announced without
hesitation that he would no longer con-
tinue the fight. and when pressed for a
said simply that he informed
his supporters that while he greatly
a appreciated their loyalty, he desired
now that they should cast their votes
for some other candidate.
Still Loyal to Weeks.
large part of the Massachusetts
delegation indicated that they would
stay with Weeks until the end. but it
is understood that his supporters from
other states generally will be for JUS
tic Hughes. No one would undertake
to speak specifically for Senator Fair
banks followers. but it is quite well I'M
derstood that they will not longer press
the senator's candidacy.
Involved in his case is the question
of the wee presidency and even the SEN
atorial race in Indiana. Two senators
are to be elected in that state this year.
and in whatever the Indiana delegation
does it will have regard to this fact
The leaders, therefore, are anxious that
the former Vice President should be
again asked to allow his name to be
used for this Office, believing that with
him on the national ticket the election
of two republican senators from the
Hoosier state would be practically as
sured
At last accounts they had received
nothing from him or his closest friends
indicating that he would accept the
nomination for second place. Under
the circumstances we have just got to
have him. and well make him take il, .
