Subcommittee Works on It's
Plans for Conven-
ton

Chicago, March '2l.--Eleetion of tenn
porary chairman for the Republican ma.
tional convention, which meets here in
June, was the problem faced by the
members OF the Republican national COM
mittee's subcommittee on convention
arrangements here yesterday.
With the exception of r. S. Duncan of
North Carolina, every member of the
Subcommittee was present when Charles
ID. Hilles of New York, chairman, raped
for order. The western members were
regarded as favoring an immediate selec.
tion OF the temporary chairman
Franklin Murphy OF New Jersey
brought word of the elimination Of Elihu
Root OF New York from the temporary
chairman contest. He said: "Mr. Root
has stated positively that he would not
attend the convention"
Chairman Hilles declined TO discuss
presidential possibilities, He said an ef-
fort would be made to have the conven.
tion go on record az fayoring a uniform
presidential primary law.
Before the session began Ralph Will
liams of Oregon said that the Republi-
cans in Oregon regarded Justice Charles
Z. Hughes of the supreme court as the
best compromise candidate. Il do not
think" said Mr.. Williams, that the
leaders regard Colonel Roosevelt serious
ly as candidate"
Candidates for the temporary chair
manshp whose names appeared in the
discussion were: Senator w. 4. Borah OF
Idaho, Senator Henry c. Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, former Governor Chase S.
Osborne of Michigan, Governor s. w.
Mccall of Massachusetts, and p. G. Knox |
of Pennsylvania.
Franklin Murphy said he did not think |
Colonel Roosevelt would be seriously |
considered by the convention as a presi- |
Dental candidate. Elihu Root, he said |
was the "ideal candidate" "The wisest /
leaders of the party" said Mr.. Murphy, /
seem to think that Colonel Roosevelt |
could not be elected if he were nominal
ed He is stronger in the West than in
the East"
Fred w. Upham of Chicago, head of
the Chicago convention committee, who
mas just returned from the East, said the
sentiment he had heard in that section
placed Justice Hughes first, Governor
Mccall second and former Vice President
Fairbanks third as possible convention
.andidates.
The committee plans for a two day''
ession.

LOCALS GET LUCKY BREAK
Fosters Hit. With One On. Bounds
Over Shotton's Head for Triple
in First Inning.
LOCALS GET LUCKY BREAK
BY J. ED GRILLo.

Pitching in midsea son form, Bert Gal
liza yesterday succeeded in duplicating
the performance of Joe Boehling the
day before and shut outSthe Browns.
The score was to 0. the two runs
coming to the Griffmen in the first in
ming. when they were favored by a
lucky break. Morgan had been walked
by Weiman, and Foster hit the first
ball pitched to left for a clean base hit
but Shotton ran forward to inter
cept the sphere it bounded over Shot
tons head and netted Foster a triple,
Morgan scoring
Milan hit to the pitcher, failing to
help Foster but Rondeau drove out
long fly which allowed Foster to bring
home the second run of the inning and
the final of the game.
Weilman was not very effective
against the locals, for they hit him
safely in every inning but the third and
seventh, but he saw to it that they did
not score after the opening frame
With Gallia going at his best the two
runs of the initial round proved more
than sufficient to decide the struggle.
1t was a brilliant game of ball, the
fielding both sides being perfect
though neither infield was as busy as
is usually the case, that of the Griff-
men having but five assists and that of
, the Browns eight.
There was some sensational fielding
on both sides and the pitching of both
Wefinlan and Gailia was good enough
to win an ordinary game. Gallia, how
ever. was at his best when the Browns
threatened and this they did on several
occasions. The score
