ganication as permanent chairman and
his name will be presented tomorrow

the place and Senator Lodge was named
on the first ballot, over former Senator
Beveridge, Of Indiana. and Senator Nc
Cormck, Of Illinois. The vote was:
Lodge, 21; Beveridge, 0; Mccormick,
z. On motion of the Illinois member
the recommendation was made unani-
nous.
The rest of the temporary organiza-
tion was recommended for permanent
service, without opposition.
Senator Lodge was placed in nomina-
tion by William Barnes, of New York;
Mr.. Beveridge by Governor Goodrich
of Indiana and Senator Mccormick by
Lieutenant Governor Oglesby of Hi
nols. No peechmaking followed the

that dark horse candidate will be
! selected One broker, whose Office has
been center for political betting,
said all the bets known to have been
posted down town would not total
$4,000
Senator johnson ruled the favorite
yesterday at even money, but it was
considered significant that no bets
were made at that price Money was
offered that Johnson would not win the
nomination. but there were no takers.
In fact while odds have been quoted
on all candidates nobody seems to
want to bet. After the preliminary
balloting, it was said, there might be
more betting, especially if the race
narrowed down to three or four candi-
dates.
William G. McAdoo continued to rule
as even money favorite for the Dem
ocratic nomination, but there was
even less betting yesterday on the re-
suit of the San Francisco convention
than on Chicago
When the odds on Senator johnson
were to last week one bet made was
$1,000 to $3,2oo: Another admirer of
Johnson'a bet $1,000 to $4,000 that he
would win. There was also bet of
5000 to $1,000 on Senator Harding.
Most OF the other bets that were posted
IN wall Street apparently were for
small amOunts.

delegates listened, and when it came
Mr.. Hoskinss turn. he said:
Doctor. when l go back home I
want to walk into my house by the
'front.' door and greet my family like
a returning hero, and not be compelled
to beat it around to the back door un-
der cover of darkness. If l should fail
TO vote for General Wood first, last
and all the time l would have to get
into my house by the back door route,
which | refuse to take"
The state of the Wood interests in
New York is commentary on the lack
OF sharp and vigorous handling of the
Wood campaign. While the Wood
men were unsettled with reference to
policy and management, the Lowden
men, under the direction of Messrs.
Iully and Dwight, were corralling
delegates.
When the change of campaign man
ayers took place in February, tnc
Lowden men, still under the direction
OF Tully and Dwight, executed a sue
picking up more delegates. In each
instance where the Wood men have
displayed vacillation or lack of def
lnlteness, the Lowden men have "gum-
shoed" along with their work. "hook-
ing" delegates here and there. The re-
suit is glaringly evident now, when
delegates are the things that really
count.
Some of the New York delegates
pledged to Lowden acknowledge that
Lowden has been, badly hurt by the
Missouri affair but they cannot break
away from their alignment.
A prominent New York district
leader. in commenting on the situation,
said:
81 am for General Wood after DR..
Butler is out of the race. The Lowden
managers are using fashioned
tactics. They are persuading delegates
that it will be to their material in
terests to get in with the candidates
backed by the big people, meaning
the corporations. 1t would not sur
prise me to see Lowden get so of the
88 votes. What is needed is a strong
speech from some big leader warning
the convention against allowing the
fight for delegates to sink to sordid
levels. 1t seems to me that we are
pretty much down to that level now. /"
Another meeting Of the New York
delegation is to take place tomorrow.

used before in decorative scheme
draped the great expanse of ceiling
and the walls. The band crashed out
Sousa marches and patriotic music.
The delegates had been provided with
flags. Chairman Hays referred to the
Republican gains and predicted ma
jority Of approximately 100000 in
the country in November. Senator
Lodge smashed the Democratic party
generally and President Wilson specifi-
cally, and glorified the Republican party
and the action of the Republican Sena-
tors. Electrical devices carried the
voices of the speakers to the farthest
corners of the huge, humanity packed
Coliseum. But the delegates did not
enthuse.
No Chances To Be Taken
The convention Of 1915 has always
been held up as model of hand
picked" "hard-boiled" delegates. But
it was the general comment tonight
that the convention of four years ago
was an enthusiastic, demonstrative mob
compared to the men sitting in the
delegates and alternates' chairs to-day.
They are all from Missouri on the
merits of anything or anybody. They
want to win in November so badly that
it hurts, and they have no intention OF
letting any shivers running up and
down their spines interfere with their
cold hard judgment on such questions
In the organization of the convention
what the progressive element of the
party calls the "Old Guard" had things
pretty much its own way: Senator
Watson, who triumphed to the tune of
Al to over Mills, has frequently been
called a reactionary. The effort to
select some Progressive as permanent
chairman has been dying for some days.
When the committee on permanent or
ganization convened william Barnes
placed Henry Cabot Lodge, the tempo
rary chairman, in nomination for per-
manent chairman, and Lodge received
% votes, as against 8 for ex-senator
Albert j. Beveridge, of Indiana, and Z
for Senator Medill Mccormick of 1lli-
nois.
The defeat of Beveridge is also big
score for Senator Watson, since 1T was
friends of Beveridge who were trying
to force Watson out of the fight for
chairman of resolutions, and in addition
Beveridge was nominated by Gov
ernor Goodrich of Indiana, one af Wat
sons political enemies.
The Wood and Johnson people united
in defeating Charles H. Ennis, Of Mas
sachusetts, lieutenant of ex-senator
Murray Crane, for chairman of the

field, of New Jersey, rolled up twenty
eight.
In addition to selecting Frank Knox,
of New Hampshire, as their floor
leader, the Wood people have agreed
to be represented by the following
board Of strategy: Frank H. Hitch
cock, Colonel William Cooper Proctor,
Norman j. Gould, George H. Moses and
Thomas w. Miller, all of whom have
been in the Wood campaign for many
months
Governor Allen to-day completed
writing his speech placing General
Wood in nomination, and is to read it
to the General late tonight Mean
while he said he would read it to Will
lam Allsn White, the "Me" of Henry
and Me-"
AS a result of the Watson deal the
Wood men were predicting tonight
that Wood would have 400 votes on the
third ballot

10 Commandments
At Coliseum Door
Set of Nine Printed on
Card for Catekeepers;
Other Is, Observe Then,
Special Dispatch to Tho Tribune

CHICAGO, June e.-Doorkeepers at
the Republican National Convention
hall are bound by ten commandments.
Nine of them are printed on card and
passed to every entrance guardian.
The tenth is verbal order from Chief
Doorkeeper James A. Ryan to observe
the rules. The rules, which follow,
are considered the most complete ever
issued for a convention:
/. No person will be allowed to enter
the convention hall without ticket.
2. Doorkeepers will detach coupon
from ticket, returning ticket to owner.
3. Persons without tickets will be
removed from line before reaching
doors.
a. Persons who have lost tickets will
be sent to the ticket adjustment bu-
reau.
5. All argument or discussion over
tickets will be avoided. The ticket ad-
justment bureau will decide claims in
all cases. Doorkeepers have no dis
cretion and will admit persons with
tickets and no others.
6. Doorkeepers will remain at their
posts until relieved or until the session
is ended.
7. In case Of emergency doorkeepers
will call on the chief doorkeeper for
relief.
8. In case of trouble or disorder the
municipal police will attend to the dis
turbers Of the peace.
8. Courtesy toward all and exact
compliance with these regulations will
be required.

delegates to stand together so far as
practicable, for the benefit Of the New
York organization rather than for the
benefit of any aspirant for the nomna-
ton.
From the present outlook, despite the
appeals Of the friends of DR.. Butler, it
seems likely that from ten to twenty
Wood men will vote for General Wood
on the first ballot. The Lowden men
probably will comply with the urgings
of the leaders and stand for DR.. Butler
on the first and perhaps on subsequent
ballots, although the Butler people
have had fair warning from Tully and
Dwight that if DR.. Butler cannot COM
mand substantial majority Of the
votes on the first ballot ne need not
expect support from them.
