Verdi's vi Ballo in Maschera'' was
sung at the Metropolitan Opera House
yesterday afternoon for the first time
this season. Mr.. Caruso was heard as
RSccardo. the extraordinary operate
governor Of Boston. a role in which his
present powers are displayed brilliantly.
1t was a foresone conclusion that the
audience would be large. even II 1t had
not been a holiday. The capacity Of
the theatre was tested and there was
every evidence Of general satisfaction
with the performance.
The famous tenor arrived before his
hearers In full command OF his vocal
resources. Not at any previous time
In the course Of the season had he sung
with greater plentitude and beauty OF

phrases Of verdi's music were delivered
with splendid effect.

BORAH URGED AS
G.. 0. P. CHAIRMAN
PrOgressives Want Him to
Sound Keynote, but Stand
patters Oppose.
ROOSEVELT. TAFT PLAN

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-Senator Borah OF
idaho has been picked by the Progress
i've element of the Republican party as
its candidate for temporary chairman
OF the Republican National, Convention.
and the campaign is now under way to
secure his selection for this post at the
hands Of the arrangements committee
Of the national committee.
This was learned to-day from an un-
Improbable source n was coupled up
with the assertion hat the conservatives
Of the East are bitterly opposed to
Senator Borah's selection to sound the
1915 keynote, while the Western ele-
men,, including practically ali party
leaders west Of the Mississippi. are
strongly for him.
Two other United States Senators are
under consideration for this honor. n
Of whom IL Senator Lodge Of Massachu-
setts. Prompt objection has been raised
to Senator Lodge because he has es-
poused openly the Presidential aspir-
lions OF his colleague, Senator Weeks.
The name Of the other Senator Is not
made public at this time.
Reef AIse Mentioned.
The subcommittee on arrangements II
also likely to be confronted with the
suggested candidacy Of ex-senator Root
Of New York for the temporary chair
manehip. II he Is put forward. accord
ing 10 the information In Chicago. II
will be on the basis that he Is out OF
the Presidential contest, n that no
serious attempt will be made by the New
York delegation to nominate him. There
are strings attached to the ak about
Root for temporary chairman that may
prevent consideration Of his name.
Another suggestion that unQues-
t'onabiy Is TO be made to me sub-com-
mittee In that the two living ex.Presi-
dents. Theodore Roosevelt md William
H. Tar, b. agreed upon 10 the tempo
nry and permanent chat-men respec-
lively Of the convention. This propo-
eition Ia being considered seriously by
Republicans Of prominence as a model
method OF demonstrating that Republic
cs~n-Progressive peace Is assured.
Bitter Contest Expected.
The men who are responsible for the
already launched movement to MAKE
Senator Borah the temporary chairman
nave no disposition 10 agree 10 any peace
proposition sue a. the Roosevelt-Taft
idea. They are preparing for a bitter
contest that ia figured AZ sure to exceed
In strife the showdown of 1912 between
Root and the then Gov. McGovern Of
Wisconsin for the convention chairman
chip.
Already certain OF the Eastern party
Spokesman are understood to have shown
antagonism to Senator Borah. Their
contention is that the Idaho Senator's
oratorical ability might develop a key
no;e speech next June as a repetition
Of the GARFIELD incident Of :hc convention
OF 1850. which ave to Gen. Garfield
the nomination for President
Some OF the Eastern Republicans also
have urged. II Is said. that Senator
Borah was one OF those Republicans who
followed the lead of Henry VI. Teller Of
Colorado and left the St. Louis conven-
ton OF 1895 after the gold standard
plank had been placed in the Mckinley
platform.
