CITY EXPECTED ID GRANT SITE
 FOR SHELTER
LARGE DELEGATION OF BUSINESS MEN WILL GO BEFORE COUNCIL AT SPECIAL MEETING.
(From Saturdays Dsily0

A special meeting of the city coun cil will be held at } o'clock tomorrow afternoon at which time the question of whether or not the city shall do- nate a site for the erection of q smeltcr by English capitalists will be considered. The smelter men wan, a part of the city farm for the purpose and 1t is considered probable that their request will be granted.
 Practically every business man in the city has promised 10 attend the meeting and urge that the site be granted. believing that the construc- tion of a smelter at Prescott would be one of the biggest moves ever un- dertaken to build up the city and sur rounding country. It had been plan ned to take up the matter with the council at its meeting last night but, owing to the amount of regular busi- ness to be transacted and the fact that proper consideration of the question would take up too much time, the mayor decided to hold a special ses- sion. to be given over entirely to dis cussing tne smelter site question.
 With the promise of George Lem ons and Attorney !. F.. Russell, rep resenting the Englishmen that work on the shelter would go ahead in earnest as soon as the site was granted and the sentiment of the people shown to be in favor of such move. the Chamber of Commerce swung m line and is strongly in favor of site be- ing granted for the big plant.
 Russell also promised that every thing possible was being done by the shelter men to prevent the establish ment of a new townsite near the smelter for its employees. it being the plan of the promoters of the project that Prescott shall reap the full bene- tit of the influx of workers.

 CHICAGO, June 5.-Represen- tatives of several candidates for the Republican presidential nomi- nation are in a perplexing pre- dicament. Having fostered sen timent in favor of Hughes until they felt sure Roosevelt was defin- itely eliminated they now fear they cannot control Hughes, candidacy which has assumed the proportions of a boom. Efforts are being made to concentrate all elements against it. Indica- tions are the vote Of the Pro- gressive party, which means Roosevelt's disapproval of Hughes will be sought as check Leaders desire harmony. They recognize that unless Republicans and Progressives combine, their chances for victory will be slim. To obtain harmony Republican leaders are willing to concede to Roosevelt the vote power in some form. Some say he should be willing to select one or two men acceptable to him from the list of candidates.
