the leaders and they are growing very
much more hopeful
Moore to Act for Penrose

lUt lPducIS ana lHeN are growing very
much more hopeful.
Moore to Act for Penrose
1t was definitely accepted here to-day
that Senator Boies Pcnrose will not
come to Chicago. Just how the word
reached here no one seems to be sure,
hut coupled with it was the surprising
information that Mayor J. Hampton
Moore of Philadelphia would be Pen
roses spokes man on the floor of the
convention.
Mr. Penrose. it is said, will use the
telephone entirely for conveying his
ideas to his licutenants.
There is doubt even that Mr. Pcnrose
will be able to telephone, however, as
it is stated here that he will have to
undergo an operation as soon as his
physical condition will permit it.
The Hoover Herald" died a natural
death to-day, the prlnt paper shortage
being blamed for its demise by James
Kelley former editor of THE Chicago
Tribune and "rhc Chicago Herald 3"
who was to have edited "The Hoover
Herald" while lack of funds was said
by George Barr Baker to be the cause
The plan was to print a daily news
paper during the convention which
would be filled with material about
l:oovcr, showing his qualifications for
the Presidency and his strength with
the people.
Illinois Situation Muddled
Somewhat dampening the enthusiasm
Occasioned among the Lowden boosters
over the public statement ycstcr rday by
Jake Hammond, of Oklahoma, who Will
control the twenty delegates from that
state, that he was for Lowden, came
the threat to-day from the followers ol
Mayor Thompson of Chicago that they
would not stick with the Illinois Gov
ernor.
1--WE will be with Lowden TIL he
men, Seventeen of the twenty dele
gates from Chicago are controlled by
the Mayor, and the Mayor IS personally
friendly to the candidacy of Hiram
Johnson. For state political purposes
Thompson was willing to play with
LoWden, though the Governor, follow
ing the advice Of practically every
friend and supporter outside of the
state, has refused to compromise with
the city organization lest he be tarred
with the alleged -Germanism OF
thompson
1t had been thought that the Thomp-
son delegates would go along with Low
den, anyhow To-day it was said they
for Wood to break from LoWden after
q few ballots, and would shortly there
after break again to the real choice of
Thompson, which is Senator Johnson.
Hayss Statement
Chairman Hays sounded a warning
that nothing must be done which would
jeopardze the certainty" of Republi-
can success. Following is his state
ment:
at looks here to-day like tho middle
of convention week, The interest, the
crowds of enthusiastic Republicans al
ready arrived, indicate the nationwide
party vigor and enthusiasm.
"EVerywhere Republicans are 'rarin'
to go The unprecedented confidence
in Republican success which obtains
everywhere is simply the reflection of
the realization of the necessity for
such success as a matter Of national
welfare. Everywhere is the apprehen-
sion of the fact that we have a task
10 pcrform worthy of our party strength
and party history; that we nave pa
triotlc work to do that is epochmaking
and that upon our performance will
largely depend the future of the
country.
"The chronclcl of centuries to come
will look backward at these now APP
preaching years as of the most tre-
mendous import in the development OF
American rolicy and it is the Repub-
lican party that is to direct that de-
