HadIey a Favorite.
A tendency to eliminate those re-
garded as presidential aspirants was
said to prevail among the committee
men and this was regarded a = mitigat-
ing against the chances of the selec-
ton falling on former Governor Had
ley who ranks as a favorite son. Con-
gresham Mann it was pointed out is
a pronounced stalwart and is in dis
favor with the woman suffrage forces
and with the leaders of the anti-sa-
loon movement.
Early in the discussion it was re-
ported that opinion was tending to-
ward Senator Harding and his selec-
tion seems probable.
Kansas Member Absent.
Chairman Hilles shortly after the
session opened sent kilograms to the
three absent members of the sub-com-
mittee, Fred Stanley, Kansas; Thomas
X Niedringhaus, Missouri, and E. c.
Duncan, North Carolina, asking for an
expression of their opinion on the
selection of a temporary chairman.
Franklin Murphy, who yesterday said
The Wisest leaders of the party seem
to think that Colonel Roosevelt could
not be elected if he were nominated"
and added that he did not think Colo

sldered by the convention said TODAY:

to accept a proposal for protocol
between the United States and the de
facto government of Mexico for CO.
operation in the pursuit of General
Villa and his outlaws.
General Carranza has asked the

Joseph L. BristOw wrecked Repub-
lican harmony plans today when he
refused to permit Fifth district dele
gates to decide whether he or George
w. Hanna should withdraw from the
fight for delegate at large to the ma
tiOnal convention. BriStow's refusal
was accepted by party leaders as an
indication of a fight on the floor.
With obstinate determination Bris-
tow insisted his name should go be-
fore the convention. Supporters of ].
r. Burrow, candidate for national
c--nmitteeman, rushed to Bristow' 5
support. They Immediately urged an
alignment with Willis J. Bailey of
Atchison. a Burrow supporter. The
combination was made to defeat F.
Williams of Columbus, slated as GER
tain choice of the convention as dele
gate. The secondary combination
was to beat T. d. Smith of Hiawatha
and Hanna of Clay Center.
Declaration of War.
Bristow's refusal to accept the
Hanna peace offering was a virtual
declaration of war 1t meant a wide
open split in the Fifth district delega-
ton and that the men who had plead
ed loudest for harmony were first to
refuse the olive branch. In spite of
the w-Bailey-Burrow slate, w.
Y. Morgan and regulars and progress
slves who Joined last week i'll the max
ing of a harmony program, declared
they would go into the convention
without a change in their plans.
Morgan had previously declared for
both Scott and Williams.
Both Hanna and Sristow are resi-
dents of the Fifth district. Last week
the Fifth district endorsed Hanna as
delegate. 1t is impossible, under
common rules, for congressional dis
trict to win two praces on the Big
Four The Roosevelt men of four
years ago demanded one of the places
on the delegation. The regulars with
drew the Mulvane issue and granted
their request Then Hanna went to
Bristow and offered to submit their
candidates. to the delegates from their
congressional district. Both Bristow
and Hanna had supported Roosevelt
in 1912 and the Hanna plan provided
that the loser before the district dele
gates should throw his support to the
winner and withdraw from the fight.

Bryan came to Topeka today from
his home in Lincoln. Neb., where he
was the guest Monday night at a
birthday anniversary dinner given in
his honor by Nebraska Bourbons. His
withdrawal from President Wilson'S s
cabinet did not alter an established
custom which has occasioned an an
nual dinner to the commoner.
When Bryan arrived in Topeka to-
day, he was taken at once to the Ma
tional hotel. There the famous Ne
braska Democrat fought his way
through a lobby crowded with Kan
sas Republicans who are in Topeka
for the state convention. In his at
titude toward number of the
policies of the Wilson administration,
Bryan and the leaders in today's Re
publican convention can harmonize
1t was because of the Wilson foreign
policies that Bryan refused to stay IN
the cabinet and resigned as secretary
OF state. His speech tonight will deal
with the European war and the situa-
tior in Mexico. He will speak tonight
at the high school auditorium. Pre-
cecing the high school meeting he will
make short talk before the Current
Topics club at the Y. NJ. c. A His
first speech will be at $50 O'Clock.
The grape juice banquet for
Bryan by the Current Topic clu ID
threatens to double the membership
of the club. Owing, however, to the
limited space only the present mem
bers and a few invited guests and
newspaper men are to be invited to
the dinner.
Bryan will speak at $50 before the
Current Topic club and will be rushed
over to the Auditorium at Z 80. The
topic of his talk before the Current
Topic club has not yet been announced
but it is understood it will be a peace
talk

Frank Yantis, he of the jitney rail-
road fame is a delegate to the state
convention from Scott scounty. Yantis
became a state wide character dur
ing the 1915 legislature when he
lobbied for the passage of the bill
WHICH would allow a five cent mile
passenger rate on his railroad from
Scott City to Winona.
CYRUS Leland of Troy, is here. But
Leland is not here today to dominate
the convention. There was no Le-
land machine and no Leland slate in
evidence in the discussion of delegates
to the national convention 1t is the
same Uncle Cy Leland of other days
who is here for the convention. But it
is the Uncle Cy Leland, who was
some years ago shorn of his power
and whose machine was wrecked in
the boss buster crusade.
Frank Pomeroy and wife are at
tending the convention from jackson
county. Pomeroy was a member of
the house during the last session and
made a good record. He will prob
ably De a candidate for the senate
from the ,Atchison-Jackson county
district this year.
Senator c. S. Huffman of Cherokee
county, is a delegate to the state con-
vention. Huffman has served four
terms or sixteen years in the senate.
He will probably be returned for a
fifth term without serious opposition
Otis L. Benton of Oberlin, candi-
date for congress in the Sixth district
is attending the convention as a spec
tator. Benton today denied reports of
a Burrow- Benton compromise in his
district last week Il am just running
for congress and not looking after the
other fellows fights" said Benton
Il didn't make d fight over the dele
cation in my district. Why should ?"
Charges that Benton and BurroW en-
tered into an agreement after a four
teen year row were common gossip
among political leaders last week.
Many of Bentons friends supported
Burrow, who was thus able to win an
instructed delegation.
Senator Walter e. Wilson of Wash
ington county, is a delegate to the
convention. He will probably be a
candidate for reelection next fall.
Bert Brown of Fall River, repre-
sentative from Greenwood county is
a member of his home county delega-
ton. Brown made a high grade rec
ord in his session of 1915 and is doped
for denomination without opposition
His reelection also seems certain.
Henry Ganse of Emporia, is here
GanSe was state senator from the Cof-

Lacey Simpson of Mcpherson

Tom Thompson of Howard, is
heading the delegation from Elk
