BuSy-Fairbanks Won't
Be Vice President.

Chicago, June 5.-Delegates to the
republican and progressive conventions
continued to pour in on every train to-
day and by noon practically every state
was we'll represented. Among the ar
rivals today were some Of the "favorite
son" presidential candidates and their
coming signalized the opening of more
headquarters. AS soon as the newly
arrived delegations got settled, they
went into informal conferences and
caucuses.
Probably 80 per cent of the delegates
and alterLates already on the rround
scattered over the city and the shop
ping district today, seeing the sights.
The big delegation from Pennsyl-
vania, including the Erumbaugh and
Penrose wings of the party, arrived to-
day. Leaders in the Penrose delega-
ton said there had been no crystalliza-
ton Of sentiment on a candidate.
Pittsburgh members of the Penrose
wing of the delegation wore Knox but
tons. A Philadelphia delegate said Mr..
Knox could command some, II not all,
the Roosevelt votes in the Pennsylvania
delegation in the event the colonel
could not win.
Members Of the Brumbaugh delega-
ton said they would support the Penn
sylvanian so long as he permits his
name u DC uSeu Hc ScCOIlu ilOIN .
Of many Brumbaugh men is Roosevelt.
The Arizona delegation, with five for
Highes and one for Roosevelt and one
uncertain, will caucus tomorrow.
Iowa Men Meet.
The Iowa delegation at a general
meeting today laid plans to further the
candidacy Of Senator Cummins. The
Iowa delegates agreed that the hope
Of Senator Cummins' success lies In
the elimination Of Colonel Roosevelt and
Justice Hughes. Committees have been
appointed to keep in touch with the
instructed Cummins delegates from
Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota
and Nebraska.
Committees have been named to look
after delegates in Kansas, Wisconsin,
Arkansas and Oklahoma who have sig
nified their intention of voting for
Cummins.
Managers Of the Fairbanks boom to-
day denied that their candidate would
withdraw from the presidential race
and become a candidate for the vice
presidential nomination.
Senator Burton, of Ohio, and Sena-
tor Harding, who will make the key
note speech at the republican conven-
ton, arrived this morning. Senator
Harding declared his allegiance to Sem
ator Burton and discouraged mention
Of himself as a presidential candidate.

(By Associated Press,l

Chicago, June 5.--Hughes sentiment
today swept over the republicans as
sembled here for their national conven-
ton and amazed the leaders by its ap-
parent strength and spontaneity.
Without any authorized headquar-
tiers or recognized spokesman delegated
to speak in behalf of the justice, the
republicans considered the growth of
the Hughes movement into a full
fledged boom within the last "a hours
force to be reckoned with when the
convention assembled Wednesday.
Frank H. Hitchcock, who has been
leading the unorganized Hughes move
ment, issued his first formal claim to-
day, contending that the "favorite
sons" combined would have a strength
or only $40 votes-not enough for q
majority-and predicted that Justice
Hughes would get more votes on the
first ballot than all the other "favorite
sons" combined and that his nominal
ton on an early ballot IL inevitable.
Roosevelt leaders, still flBhting for
the coloners nomination. find them
selves confronted with a situation they
are convinced was overestimated in the
colonePs favor and the republicans at
tached to the old guard predict that
the colonePs ultimate strength in bal
loting will be less than 200 votes.
The apparent elimination OF Colonel
encouraged boomers for some Of the
other candidates. Many OF them pro-
fess to believe they will be the bene-
ficiaries OF the waning Roosevelt
strength and that an effort now will
be made to concentrate on a plan to
eliminate Hughes. Chief among these
Is the candidacy of Senator Weeks, Of
Massachusetts,.
The lack Of controlling leadership by
the men who have composed the old
guard Is emphasized on every hand.
They express themselves as favoring
Justice Hughes because delegates
bringing first hand reports believe he
can be the harmonizer who can bring
In the progressive strength.
Delegates stampede Proof.
On every hand explanations are
sought of the failure OF the sentiment
for Colonel Roosevelt to crystalize. A
week ago those who opposed the nomi-
nation Of Roosevelt were fearful of
stampede to him, but now 1t Is said
that is impossible. Many cannot under
stand what brought this change.
Republican leaders after a canvass
today declared Colonel Roosevelt's ulti-
mate strength would not be more than
200 delegates and they believe the num-
Der would be nearer $50 delegates. 1t
is asserted that the remaining $50 or
500 delegates would not vote for him
under any circumstances.
1t was pointed out that when state
delegates were selected, 1t was known
that Roosevelt would be strong factor
and probably a candidate. Men were
chosen who were believed to be for
harmony, which leaders say is not
synonymous with Roosevelt and are
regarded therefore as not of the stam-
pedable type. The great mass Of the
delegates are uninStructed and are
can bring a majority Of the progress
sives back to the republican fold.
Fear Teddy's Foes.

sentiment to avoid making the nominee
the campaign issue and to select some
one on whom republicans and progress
slVes can agree so the word will go
out TO the country. that the party has
been rehabilitated by the uniting Of fac
tons which split 1t four years ago. II
is realized that Of all the possibilities
Colonel Roosevelt has the greatest per-
sonal following, but at the same time
ne has the most enemies. The republi-
can leaders charged that many voters
would be alienated for one or more of
several reasons.
The conviction that Colonel Roosevelt
would not be able to reunite the party
has led to general declarations in favor
or some strong man whose nomination
would be signal to the country that
the factional strife had been ended.
The situation respecting both Roose-
welt and Hughes contains all the neces-
sary elements to produce a dark horse
candidate, but there are so many strong
men among the favorite sons that the
possibility of the selection of some ono
yet unmentioned is minimized.
Not Lanbastina Colonel.
All forces are careful not to express
hostility to Colonel Roosevelt or to say
anything which would make 1t impos-
sible for progressives to come back into

Roosevelt can prevent the nomination
OF any one or two men who may me
urged by republican leaders, but that
should he attempt, to go further than
this and, as some say, scratch the
whole ticket" the convention would be
very likely to proceed without giving
further consi Iteration to his views.
In saying that Roosevelt could pre-
vent the nomination of any one or two
men, Justice Hughes is not excepted,
but those who are for him, profess to
believe Roosevelt would not go so far
as to say in advance that Hughes was
unacceptable If his nomination seemed
certain.
Want Aid, Not Dietation.
The attitude Of men taking this po-
sition Is summed up by their state
ments that they want Colonel Roose-
velt's help, but not his dictation."
One Of the outstanding features of
this convention is the absence of COM
handing leadership by the men who
compose the old guard. They are here
and on the ground, but they seem to
have no definite control Of affairs.
There is a conspicuous lack of what
every convention has known as 'fixers'
who come with planks for the platform
all prepared and assurances that they
were going in.
Regardless or the action the repuDll-
can and progressive factions finally
take, Victor Murdoch, of Kansas, chair
man of the progressive national COM
mittee, who arrived here today, said
the party organization should be main
tanned. He declined to predict the pro-
bable action of the progressives. Mr..
Murdoch said he was not a candidate
for reelection as national committee
chairman and would endeavor to be re-
leased from that position.
George W. Perkins, Of New York,
recognized spokesman for the progress
sive party issued a statement today
reiterating that he was for harmony
with the older party, but not for har-
mony at any price.

Senator Cummins headquarters at
the Congress today was busy place.
Large numbers of Iowans arrived in
Chicago on the morning trains and
went to work energetically for Cum
minis. The members of the Iowa dele
cations in the House arrived and re-
ported at once to Senator Kenyon and
State Chairman Rawson. Despite many
stories put out by the managers of
other candidates that the Cummins
delegates would not stick, the Cum
Minis leaders said 1t would be found
when the battle was over the Cummins
delegates had stood their ground better
than most Of the others.
While no final first ballot figures
are given, 1t is estimated Senator Cum
Minis will have between 100 and 125
votes on first ballot. Disposition of
LaFollette men in Wisconsin and
North Dakota to go to Cummins, on
second choice, has encouraged the
Cummins leaders.
Tribune Headquarters Chicago, June
5.-Senator Kenyon, chairman Of the
Iowa delegation which is presenting
the candidacy of Senator Cummins,
said today:
"The supporters of Senator Cummins
are confident that harmony in this
convention can be best accomplished by
the nomination Of western man, and
that Cummins Is the most logical can
didate of all in the field. His nomina-
ton will leave no sore spots and the
party under his leadership could be
united to certain victory in the fall
Senator Cummins is right on the great
questions now before the American
people, and everybody knows where he
stands. They know the worth OF the
man. Our instructed delegations have
assured us that they will stand by our
candidate to the end and we are as
sured of much additional second
choice strength, so that our delegates
are not even talking of second choice.
We believe that when the break comes
among all the candidates in the field
the logical selection of a candidate like
Senator Cummins will swing the con-
Weldon to him."
Kenyon had a long conference with
George w. Perkins today. His state
ment was given out later. The Iowa
