VOTES FOR ROOT
Lineup Shows Barnes
Unable to Control Major
ity of Delegation.


Chicago, June 4.-The efforts OF
William Barnes and Senator James w.
Wadsworth, jr., TO puncture the
Hughes strength in New York received
hard blow tonight. Wadsworth in
vited all the Root delegates on the
New York delegation TO meet at the
Root headquarters. in the Congress
Hotel here, for the purpose of demon
strating once and for all that ex-Sen-
ator Root was the choice of the ma
jCrity. Only twenty-seven OF the dele
gates appeared, however. and, after
tallying absentees who were thought to
be Root men. total Of only forty out
OF eighty-seven delegates from New
York we're counted for ex-senator Root.
Senator Wadsworth presided at the
conference and was somewhat down
cast at the results. He still main
tanned that Mr. Root would have ma
jority Of the delegates. but several
who attended the conference declared
that forty was the limit, the probabili-
ties being that the Root strengh would
be less than that number.
After discussing the postponng OF
the selection Of a national committee
man to succeed William Barnes at the
conference OF the New York delegation
Tuesday night, it was agreed tha- no
action should be taken. Senator Wads-
worth and Senator Brown we're ap-
pointed a committee 10 confer with
Governor Whitman and State Chair
man Tanner TO arrange q programme
for Tuesday nights conference
The programme outlined provided
that there would be no contests for
chairman Of the delegation or for com
mlttee membership. Governor Whit
man. IL was agreed. would be chosen
chairman and Senator Wadsworth
would receive a place on the resolu-
tions committee. Chairman Tanner
and Senator Brown also we're TO re-
ceive committee ass gnments.
This would leave as the only fights IN
the delegation the choice of Hughes or
Root and the selection of a national
committeeman. IL was understood at
midnight tonight that the programme
as outlined at the conference Of the
Root delegates would be acceptable TO
Governor Whitman and the other
Hughes men. Tuesday night, there
fore, will sec a contest over Hughes
and Root only. and the selection of
national committeeman will be post
poned until after candidate for Presi-
lent is nominated.
