Dark Horse Talk.
Dark horse talk was still in the back
ground today and there was northern
undercurrent of Hughes talk. Senator
Borah of Idaho, one of the johnson sup
porters. said that as yet he was not con,
sidering dark horses, but that he would
regard Mr.. Hughes as "a very formld-
able man if the dark horse stage were
reached.
Today's business was largely among
the state delegations which were or
ganizing and electing members to the
convention committees.
Several good fights in the selection OF
national committeeman were peing
staged.

Chicago. June THE membership of
the Republican national convention
which begins its sessions at noon to-
morrow apparently is inclined today to
further becloud instead of clarity the
question of who is TO be the nominee for
president.
Wood, Lowden and Johnson support
crs were driving hard for the advantage
and all of them were claiming gains as
the balance of the uninstructed delegates
rolled into Chicago. But the best claims
of any of the three amounted to little
more than one-fourth Of the total dele
gate strength on the first ballot, and it
takes q majority to nominate.
Prospects of a deadlock thus becom-
ing hourly more likely, favorite sons and
dark horse possibilities increased their
activities and further tangled the knot
ted reins of control for which the party
leaders are wrestling.
The outlook helped. too. to enliven
the squabble over contested convention
seats and the struggle over permanent
organization of the convention. At least
some, and possibly all of the 137 con-
tests decided by the national committee
win be brought before the credentials
committee for a rehearing and a few
may be decided finally on the convention
floor itself.
Looking for Chairman.

most prominently mentioned for the
craftsmanship, but the strength behind
neither has yet become clearly defined
and choice may be postponed until the
last minute.
Most of he leaders agree that the
situation as regards platform, at least.
is beginning to take form. Only a few
Of the more troublesome planks remain
to be agreed on, end although some
sharp struggles are in prospect, no one
seems to think that any of them will
lead to serious consequences.
There were Indications today that
League of Nations plank, over which one
of the bitterest convention fights had
been predicted might soon be given the
approval of all he leaders except
small group of mild reservation senators.

The Johnson Borah irreconcilables
have a plank of their own ready to sub

they indicated confidence today that no

The mild reservationists are dissatis-

contained in the treaty Of Versailles.

his candidacy except that things are
going along nicely
Governor Sproule said a noticeable
feature of the pre-convention hours was
the good feeling among the delegations
winch led him to believe the fight would
not be protected.
Wood for Reservations.
Major General Wood looks for n
crystalization of the situation as soon
as the various delegations have finished
caucusing, he said at his morning con-
ference today.
AS soon as he organization of the
defendant delegates is completed we
look for tangible results" he said
that the people were more interested
in getting back to a peace time basis
than in any one subject at present. In
regard to the League of Nations he said: :
Il think the League of Nations
covenant with American reservations
will fill the bill"
Governor Lowden said he thought tine
people were first interested in solving
domestic questions and after that taking
up the world affairs.
My belief said the governor. "is
that the people are first interested in
the momentous domestic questions
Whatever our interest in the world
questions are, and do not mistake nv
meaning, they are very. very important.
Yet the way we treat them will depend
largely on how we treat our domestic
problems first"

Hold Right to Strike
at All Costs, COmpers
Tells Labor Convention

Montreal. June Amy attempt to
enforce compulsory labor by making
strikes unlawful must be resisted at all
costs, Samuel Gompers, president OF
the American Federation of Labor, de-
clared today in his address at the open
ing of the federation's fortieth annual
convention.
Il have no fear as to what the re-
suits will be-" he said. "As long as L
have life and my mind is not impaired,
I shall stand for the right of the men
and women toilers of the world to be
free. untrammeIed and unOwned by any
force.
The one who fails to understand.
Mr.. Gompers continued, that there is
law Of compensation in all the life
effort, fails TO understand the develop
ment of human life and progress.
He urged organized labor to hold it
self in leash" and use its power of force
and influence in meditation.
mo one can hurt us or injure our
movement or destroy it but ourselves"
said the labor chief in warning dele
gates against utra-radical movements.
After paying glowing tribute to Can
ada and her labor organizations, Mr..
Gompers said: There is no body of men
outside of Canada that holds so much
good will for Canada as the American
people. Industrially and economically
we are bound together. 1t could not be
different"
The federation is meeting for the
second time on foreign soil, More than

discloses that it now has 4,07S, TAO, n

Chicago, June NO changes
have appeared today in the con-
vention lineup and none are ex-
pected. Twenty hours before
the convention assemblies it is an
absolutely unbiased, unled af-
fair, and as the bewildered dele
gates mill around the hotel lob
bies bewailing the absence of
leadership, the men who were
the real leaders in the years gone
by find a grim satisfaction in re-
ferring to the charges of bossism
which were so freely hurled at
them at former conventions.
They are asking delegates if it
is not better to be led than lost.
Such overnight and early morning
conferences as were held were of the

The best informed observers, however,
see evidences that this is merely a
screen to hide the fact that the so
called leaders are no longer leaders.
New Crop Oazed.
The passing of the old line party

evident. has brought up an entirely new
crop of so-called leaders, many of whom
do not know one another and that Is one
of the things which explains the lack OF
cohesive action in getting down to de-
finite conclusions.
No campaign manager has been able
to strengthen his lines enough to 90

Each one Of them is waiting for the first
ballot to demonstrate how good are the

All the managers look for the first
ballot to settle the outlook considerably
for the big three-Johnson. Lowden and

gets the highest number will have
potential advantage and the candidate
who stands at the bottom of the list will
be decidedly on the defensive. The candi

STATE To VOTE
ON TUBE BOND
Voters Will be Asked for
Opinion on Bond Issue at
the General Election.

When the voters Of New Jersey re-
ceive their ballots on the polls cleo
ton day. November ?. they will find
that they will be asked to vote on
the question whether or not they
favor a bond issue for the financing
of the construction of a vehicular
tunnel under the Hudson river and
for a bridge over the Delaware river.
The voters will not decide whether
or not these two projects are TO be
put through as the New Jersey legis-
lature has already acted in the matter
and ground will be broken for the
tunnel on Tuesday OF next week.
The voters will be asked TO decide
one question only and that is the
matter of financing the proposition
they voting for either a bond issue
or payment by direct taxation. Voters
seem to be confused over the propos-
ed SIS. 100000 bond issue for the
tunnel under the Hudson and the
bridge between Camden and Phila
delphia. It is the belief of many that
a vote mo" on this question will
mean that the tunnel and bridge
prospects will be abandoned.
Such is not the case. however, as
this state is committed by its legis-
ia.uie to both these projects. A vote
of Nc at the election will negative
the bond issue plan and will mean
that direct taxation will be resorted
to in order to finance the expensive
work. The vote will not affect the
construction of the bridge or the
tunnel.
II Is estimated that the tunnel will
cost s2S,66g, 900 and New Jerseys
share of this will be ~s14.334,500
The cost of the bridge over the De-
laware will approximate almost al
much. The bond issue is favored for
the tunnel project by the New Jersey
Interstate Bridge and Tunnel Com
mission. The commission holds that
all costs for maintenance, construc-
ton and operation will have been
met in eleven years, after which time
the tolls will continue TO be a source
of public revenue.
There has been some complaint
that the tunnel was put through with
out the public being properly in
formed. In 1906 the project wa:
