 CHICAGO, June l. = Sixteen
 prospective delegates for Justice
 Charles E. Hughes, in the Republi-
 can convention went by the board
 today when the national com
 mittee seated the Henry s. Jack
 son delegation of Georgia. The ac-
 tion was taken after a lively con
 test which lasted more than six
 hours and in which it was Iieces-
 sary to determine the personnel
 of the Georgia state commit.
 Each delegation came to Chi
 cago uninstructed but it has been
 generally understood that the
 Johnson delegation from Georgia
 was prepared to support Hughes
 while the Jackson delegates were
 friendly to the candidacy of Sen
 ator Root with John w. Weeks
 as second choice.
 CHICAGO, June 1.-Political sup porters of Roosevelt and Hughes were jubilant today over the defeat of the attempt made by certain members oi the Republican national committee to have the contests over delegates heard ty suh-committees instead oi by the full committee, which always las decided these disputes.
 When Chairman Hilles suggested that sub-comHittees be named to go oyer the documents in the contests so that the full committee need not waste time considering. trivial dis putes. the Roosevelt and Hughes sup porters scented a possible plot to have the contests considered in secret ses- sions and vigorously protested. Sena- tor Shoot, national committeeman from Utah. and a Hughes supporter, led the fight against the plan and succeeded in having the motion voted down. Roosevelt and Hughes friends in the committee joined hands to de- feat the plan and claimed an impor- tant victory in the first scrimmage with the organization. Chairman Hilles and managers of the ''favorite sons" candidates professed to see no significance in the act, and insisted that the only purpose of the appoint ment of subcommittee was to expe- dite the hearings.
 Bull Moose Worry.
 Republican leaders today inquired concerning plans of the progressive national convention which begins June :. They are trying to get some defi- nite information as to whether Colo mel Roosevelt really intends to run for president as the candidate of the Pro gressive party, in the event another man is chosen by the Republicans
 Harold L. Ickes. committeeman from Illinois in the Progressive party. declared that he favored nominating Roosevelt. regardless of any action taken by the Republicans. He said Roosevelt was the first and only choice of the Bull Moosers for presi- dent. and that he believed he should be nominated.
 T. R. Men Everywhere.
 There were more active workers for Roosevelt than all the other candi- dates combined in evidence around convention headquarters today.
 The effect of the campaign being made by the Roosevelt business mems oresnization in the different state, in sending telegraps and writing letters tn delegates urging them to vote for Roosevelt either on the first or sec cnd ballots. was-a -a topic of general discussion. Some delegates expressed the opinion that the campaign might prove boomerang. while others de- clared that the appeal of the business rren would influence votes in the con vention.
