| Talked for Two Hours.
For more than two hours the con-
ferecs discussed the points at Is
sue between the progressiyes anu
the republicans and took up details Of
the peace plans projected earlier In
the day by the two conventions
when the conference committee Oh
harmony had been appointed. when
adjournment came 1t was announc-
ed that We report progress and
the statement was made that the
members OF the two committees
would not get together again until
after the sessions of the conventions
today.
They prepared reports, which are
being presented to their respective
lconyentions. There is considerable
doubt as to just how these reports
! will be received by the delegates
and whether leaders in the two con-
ventions can hold the body OF dele
gates under control while further
harmony deliberations are being
held.
No Nominations Today.
ut is understood" said Senator
Borah, that while nominating
lspeeches will be made In each con-
Ivention today no nominations will
be made"
/ And" said another member oil
the committee, I'VE will resume ne
gotiations in the afternoon or even
ling"
But herein enter various phases Oh
1.-The critical situation which combine
Ito make 1t so subtle and tenuous as
Ito invite the unexpected and the un-
certain. Leaders of both parties sat
lup most of the night discussing num-
erous possibilities that might devotion
and making plans to handle the stu
alton should efforts be made to STAN
Ipede either convention for particu-
liar candidate or against further de-
lay in making nominations.
Many progressives hoped that
Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
would send message to the har-
i, lmony conferees, or to the progress
lsiye convention that would have Q
lbearing on the situation.

led this morning that nothing had oc-

proved the chances for their men
and some wagers were made earl.
today that neither the name OF
Hughes nor of Roosevelt would ap-

THAT third man would head it.
But in the absence of any definite
report OF what happened at peace
; conference at the Chicago club, not
t many people were sanguine of def
Unite results. A majority seemed tc
: think the conventions would &C

. In this connection one of the mem
bers of the conference committee
lsaid: The conference has not chang
ed the situation in respect to the
lproDable nomination of Justice
Hughes by the republican conven-
ton. A situation has been created
by which the progressives in all prob
liability will be willing TO postpone

Roosevelt for the sole purpose of be
