rah of Idaho, Governor Mccall of

ter of naming a candidate for Presi-
dent. They indicated that they would

didate excepting Col. Roosevelt, and
said they believed the delegates would
be bile to select the leader who would
be satisfactory to every element of the
party.
Chairman HilleS of the national COM
mittee expressed the sentiment of the
party leaders when he said nobody knew
who would be nomina ted, but that the
candidate would be born in the conven-
tion.
AT noonsthe committee was entertained
by the Hamilton Club at luncheon at
which Chairman Hilles delivered an ad-
dress in which he criticized the admins
tration of President Wilson. outlined
