Washington, June 9.-Results of the bal.
loting in Chicago were received at the
White House tonight by special wire, but
President Wilson did not see the dis
patches until late at night, when he re.
turned from the theatre. Then he went
over them carefully together with many
personal messages from Democratic lead
ers on the ground watching the Republi-
can and Progressive conventions.
During the day the President spent sew
eral hours working on the draft of plat
form which he is preparing for submis-
sion to the Democratic convention and
various planks also were discussed in de-
tail al the cabinet meeting.
A debate on suffrage is expected in the
resolutions committee and most Demo
cratic leaders here believe votes for wo-
men will be approved, but a declaration
made that the question is one for the
states to decide. 1t is not expected that
a prohibition plank will be included.
The President is expected to make
known his selection for csairman of the

AS the word came in that the sec

Progressive leaders consulted together.
A table of the first ballot was quickly
compiled TO be read to the delegates.

The tune was that of the old familiar

Maine Delegates Lead
Roosevelt Cheering In
Progressive Convention

Auditorium, Chicago, June 9.-Before
the night session of the Progressives
opened, Sergeant-at-Arms Corrick read
Associated Press bulletins from the Re-
publican convention of the first bal
lot. The gathering delegates loudly
cheered evidence of Roosevelt strength
With the delegates seats about two
thirds full, Chairman Robins convened
the night session at So6 o'clock after
a stage conference with Mr.. Garfield
and other leaders. From several parts
of the hall came the cry: DO it now"
Another chant was: why not now?"
The demand for immediate nomina-
tion of Col Roosevelt came from the
Maine delegation seated on the stage
and was quickly picked up by others in
the audience.
The demands, however seemed to be
made in good humor. When we're
ready we'll take Teddy" was retort
shouted in unison by the Ohio delega-
ton.
Chairman Robins kept rapping for or

JUSTICE HUGHES
HEARS RESULTS
BUT IS SILENT

Washington. June 9.-The balloting a
Chicago did not interrupt the supreme
court session in which Justice Hughes
is spending convention week. He was
in his office at his residence through
out the day, busy with court work. He
had no callers. When the convention
commenced voting he retired to the
drawing room of his residence where
he spent the evening with Mrs. Hughes
and their daughters. Several neWspa-
per reporters were received by his pri-
vate secretary l.. H. Green. and to them
local newspapers telephoned summar-
les of each of the ballots Mr Green
took the reports to the justice.

favorite son combination fears, will go
in a body to the support of Justice
Hughes. The Hughes ma iors profess not
to be alarmed. They repeat their claim
that Hughes will be nominate ed, they
thought on the first ballot today and Ger
tainly not later than the second, which
would be the fourth taken by the con-
vention.
. AS the night wore on, meagre details OF
the anti-Hughes conferences became
known. George w. Perkins of the Pro-
gressive convention, Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania and a number of others
met early.
The spokesman for the Republican fac
ton convinced Mr. Perkins that because
of personal prejudices against Col. Roose-
welt held by many delegates, chiefly on
account of the colonel leaving the party
four years ago, he could not under any
circumstances poll more than $50 votes in
the Republican convention, in which 494
votes is a majority.
Mr.. Perkins told the Republican mem
hers of the conference that next to nom
mating Roosevelt he desired above all to
prevent the nomination of Hughes He
asserted that if Hughes were nominated
Col. Roosevelt would not support him and
the Republican ticket certainly would be
defeated. He thought Root was the one
member of the allied force who stood a
chance Of nomination and win the supper.

BIC COAL HOIST,
PORTLAND wharf,
FALLS 70 FEET
l"Cave in" Undermines Founda-
ton of Towers and Five Men
Have Narrow Escape.

Five men narrowly escaped death
when one of the big coal hosting tow
ers of the Pocahontas Coal Co. on
Long wharf fell from the trestle work
after "cavein" had occurred beneath
the foundation of the pier shortly be-
fore noon today.
The damage resulting from the
"cavein" is estimated by Superintend-
ent Gilbert Stockton at $150,000 and
the big plant will not be in operation
for five or six months.
There we're three men, Albert Gala
CHER and John Carswell of New York
City and Alec Burns of Portland, in
the tower which tumhled distance of
about 20 feet from the trestle to the
coal field in the center of the pier.
They were warned that something was
wrong when they heard a distinct
creaking sound and believing the
hoisting apparatus above the engine
house was damaged they got out of
the small building and reached the
trestle extending the entire length of
the pier and ran towards Commercial.
street to the coal pockets. Quickly
they realized that the trestle was set
tling and they ran as fast as possible
into the front end of the coal pock-
cts, distance of 200 feet. AS they ran
the trestle work tipped to an angle of
45 degrees and Gallagher was thrown
off his feet, hurting his wrist How
ever, with the other three he reached
the coal pockets in safety just as the
engine house and hoisting tower left
its base on the trestle and crashed in-
to the big pile Of coal fully 20 feet

During the uproar that greeted the
nominating speech for Col. Roosevelt
the police had to be sent to the gal
leres to stop women tearing bunting
from the railings. Otherwise the dem
onstrations although noisy and prolong-
ed were good natured and orderly.
Tomorrow the convention leaders ex-
pect to dispose of both the presidential
and vice presidential nominations.
When the delegates take their seats at
II O'Clock for the third ballot it will
be Hughes against the field. The total
field for the convention fixed by the
credentials committee at $50 was reduc-
ed to 9S7 because the two Porto Rican
delegates failed to qualify. This reduc-
ed the number necessary for a nomin-
alton to 494 instead Of 495, as previous
ly had been announced.

school in the afternoon and the class
took in the pictures in the evening at the
City Opera house, Waterville. The class
had ordered a barrel of CLAIMS to have {,
clam bake on their outing, but as this
was out Of the question the CLAIMS were
taken to the High school building ana
steamed clans, sandwiches, pickles
olives and cake made up a feast. Mem
bers of the faculty of the school were
also present and very pleasant time
was passed in discussing the happenings
