NO STAMPEDE FOR ROOSEVELT
Republican Leaders Admit, However.
That Colonel Has Chance.

Chicago, June 6.-Estimates by Re-
publican leaders give Roosevelt not
more than $50 votes on the first bal
lot. Leaders say the convention can
not be stampeded for the colonel, but
they admitted that if a state like Mas
saehusetts were to swing to him in the
second and third ballot it might be en-
barrassing and significant, and at most
keep the pot humming longer than
they expect at the present time.

HUGHES BOOM IS PERPLExING
LEADERS FEAR THEY CANNOT
CONTROL MOVEMENT.
Veto of Progressive Party May Be
Sought as Check, Republicans
Believe.

Chicago, June Representative Of
the candidates for the Republican
presidential nomination are in per-
picking predicament Having foster
ed sentiment in favor of Justice
Hughes until they felt sure Colonel
Roosevelt was definitely eliminated,
they now fear they cannot control the
Hughes movement.
During the day it grew to the pro-
portions of a boom. Effort is being
made to concentrate all elements
against it and indications are that the
veto of the Progressive party, which,
of course, means Colonel Roosevelt's
disapproval of Hughes, may be sought
as a check

Leaders Want Harmony.

Harmony above everything else is
the desire of leaders. Without that it
is recognized that their chance of
success at the polls is very slim. To
obtain harmony, the Republican lead
ers are willing to concede to Colonel
Roosevelt the veto power in some
form.
Some of the leaders say he should
be willing to select one or two men,
who would be acceptable to him from
the list of candidates in the field 9th
ers think he should suggest men for
consideration by certain leads and
practically all party chiefs are willing
to admit that any of the candidates
definitely rejected by Colonel RoOse-
welt could not be nominated.
All thought of getting a pre-conven
ton statement from Justice Hughes
has been abandoned.

LABOR PLIES WHIP ON CON.
GRESS.

Washington, Aug. 30.-All tn
railroad brotherhood heads wer
obviously pleased tonight after
careful study Of the proposed bill
to fix an eight hour work da,
for trainmen in interstate com
merce, at present wages, and fol
an investigation Of results by q
commission. w. G. Lee, head OF
the trainmen's brotherhood, made
the unequivocal statement that
enactment of such law by mid
night Saturday would avert the
strike. He said:
Enactment into law of the
Presidents eight-hour day bill
as now drawn, guaranteeing, the
present ten-hour day wage will
be regarded as s. tlsfac...y =
Element Of our differences with
the railroads and there will be
80 strike.
''ln order to prevent a strike,
however. this bill must become a
law before next Saturday night.
1t will require twenty-four hours
for US to cancel our strike order,
'ent out last Sunday, which will
automatically 60 into effect next
Monday unless stopped by code
message from we four brother
hood heads indicating a salts
factory settlement has been
reached. The minute the bill be-
comes a law-if such thing
should transpire before next Sat-
urday might've will begin send
ing out the code message. With
that time allowance we can assure
the country that not a man will
leave his train on Monday morn
ing at Z a. m, Eastern time, the
hour set for strike.
"The bill as now drawn con-
tains exactly the same proposal
.he President made to us a week
400 and which we accepted. We
ire ready to arbitrate collateral
ssues now and we always have
)een. Let that be made very
clear to the public.
Whether there will be a strike
s now squarely up to Congress.
f this bill is talked to death or
prevented from passing both
louses before Saturday midnight
responsibility for the strike order
will rest with Congress-.
