Previous to the ballott the chair recognized Senator Shoot to present the peace conference report. MT. Smooth then read Col Roose- velt's letter to the progressive conven- tion, explaining that it had been brought to the Coliseum by MT. Per- kins since the peace conference meet ing.
 The reading was followed with clos est attention. When MT. Roosevelt's suggestion of Senator Lodge as a com promise candidate was reached, there was applause but only Massachusetts arose.
 When MT. Shoot concluded with the name of Roosevelt, there were brief cheers.
 MT. Shoot then stated the pro- posal had been lait on the table by the progressive convention.
 There were cheers and calls for Hughes"
 The communication was made part of the records and the chair rec ognized Senator Weeks of Masachu- setts who took the platform to chorus of rousing cheers and hand clapping. It was two minutes before order was restored. His speech was of few words:
 Congressman Rodenburg of Illinois was recognized and withdrew Sher- man.
 Medill Mccormick of the Illinois delegation was next recognized and stated that while many of them pre- ferred Col. Roosevelt they felt it as their first duty to defeat the demo- cratic party and pledged his vote to Hughes
 When Maryland gave one vote for Roosevelt there was complete silence.
 AS the roll concluded the conven- tion broke into an uproar and a demonstration was on
 The chair rapped for order and quiet soon fell over the hall
 The chair asked if the nomination should be made unanimous and recognized A. P. Moore of Pennsyl- Vanla, who moved it be so made.
 Senator Lodge made an eloquent appeal for Hughes in seconding the rl otion for unanimity.
 The nomination of a vice president | was declared as the next matter of | business
 John Wanamaker rose and pre- sented the name of Fairbanks of Indiana.
 Nebraska was the next state to re- spond and H. H. Baldridge nominated l former Senator Burkett

 Fairbanks name was presented first | because Colorado yielded to Penna 1
 Kansas answered the roll call by seconding Fairbanks and so did Maine.
 Although MT. Fairbanks had sent former Senator Hemenway a telegram saying he would not accept and to have his name withdrawn the h. diana delegation received assurances that he would accept.
 Frank H. Hitchcock had been quot ed as saying that Hughes men wanted Burton for second place but Ohio did not offer the name.
