National Committee Plans Night Sessions in
Order to Clean up Balance of Disputes
r. in Short Order.
PROGRESS HAS BEEN TOO SLOW
Open Sessions Have Had Effect of Dragging
Out Hearings, Which Were Decided
Upon Judicial Grounds.

Emile Kuntz Of New Orleans, by the
national committee Jan. 10, 1913.
Several of the committeeman con-
tended yesterday that the only point
at issue was which of the delega-
tions was elected by the kuntz Dr.
ganization,. as apparently both state
conventions were otherwise conduct
ed strictly according to the party S
rules.
So far but ten of the 122 delegates
affected by the contest have been
placed on the temporary roll of the
convention. OF these Lowden won
seven from Arkansas and one from,
Alabama, the first day, while Wood
benefited by two from the District
of Columbia yesterday.

KNOCKED OUT
Best Pitchers in League Have Fallen

Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 2.-Delegates
pledged to the candidacy of Iris
Speaker for the nomination as mir
acle man of 1920" were getting their
feet ready to jump.
In large numbers they are boiling
to those who made preseason predic.
tions for the New York Yankees.
A dynamic sweep down the streach
which has given them sixteen out of
the last twenty games and nine in a
row is making the annual candidacy
of Celeveland native sons look like
q w. J. B.,
By use of the talents that earned
for them the early season sobriquet
of 'nurderers' row. the Yanks have
battered their way through the best
pitching in the league to second place.
Headed by that demon clubber,
Babe Ruth, the Yanks have potential
home run in every man in the line up.
They have the dynamite market of
both leagues cornered and have as
sembled what is perhaps the greatest
array of hitting and slugging power
of the past decade.
There is no Walter Johnson, Alex
anOGT OF w lllidhiso elhhohS 'hS Pi'|SiD
but Jack Quinn and Bob Shawkey can
win bunch of ball games. With such
tremendous hitting they don't need
pitching par excellence.
The best pitchers in the league have
fallen before the Yankee attack. Stan
Coveleskie and Claude Williams were
knocked off big winning streak and
Walter Johnson has been beaten three
times. They have knocked fourteen
pitchers out of the box, including
Kinney. Pennock, Harper, Hoyt,
Dauss, Williams, Snyder, Erickson
and others. ~

CHICAGO, June, 2.-Confronted
with the doubtful record OF having
disposed of only three of the fifteen
contested delegations in two days,

program designed to clean up the bal
ance Of the disputes in short order.
Al the suggestion of Chairman VIII
Hays. the committee will begin hold.
| ing night sessions and an effort VIII
be made to bunch the various con
tests in each state whenever possible.
The policy OF holding open sessions
has resulted in the contests being
decided upon judicial grounds rathe er
than political expediency, but haf
the eject OF dragging out the hear-
ings.
In their efforts to hurry the pro-
ceedings late yesterday the commit

several contests, leaving rather
complicated skein to unravel today.
night session would have been
held, but when the cases OF the next
states in Minnesota, Missi,-
sippi. Missouri, North Carolina, OktS-
homa and South Carolina-it was
found that none of these contestlng
delegations was ready to proceed.
According to the pre-arranged
schedule, the first case to be con-
sidered today was that of Florida.
The evidence was fully presented
Monday, but the legal technicalities
we're such that 1t was referred to a
subcommittee. This body reported
yesterday that further evidence was
required to clear up certain points
regarding the claims of the regular
delegation of eight headed by Georss
". Bean and Daniel r. Gerew and
the first contest delega ton under ii.

to be for Major General Wood and
the latter merely anti-Wood. The
second ccntesting delegation {;
which W L. Van Duzor is chief. was

committees report. 1t was reported
TO favor Governor Frank o. Lowden.
