HITCHCOCK Will
BOSS WOOD RACE
AT C C0NvENT|0 ION
Former Postmaster General to
Be in Charge of Generals
Machine for G. O. P.
Nomination.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Chicago, June 3.-Frank H. Hitch
cock, former postmaster general, to-
day assumed the responsibility for
handling the Wood forces in the ma
tional convention This procedure
was definitely determined at a gen.
eral conference of the Wood men, in
charge of state delegations, held at
the Chicago club. For convention
purposes, Mr.. Hitchcock will have
his headquarters in the same rooms
in the Congress hotel from which
he handled the presidential candi-
dacies in which he has been inter-
ested.
The openly-expressed judgment of
recognized leaders in the Wood
campaign was that Mr.. Hitchcock's
first tactical victory was the victory
in the national committee in the
Florida contest, whereby George w.
Bean is certain of reelection as ma
tional committeeman and Gen. Wood
is to get six of the Florida votes to
two for Gov. Lowden.
"This is now showdown be-
tween Wood and Lowden and that
is all there is to it." was the COM
ment of one of the Wood men, who
sat in the Chicago club conference.
Take the instance of my own state.
I went out to make fight for Wood
instructions and got them. 1t is es-
sentia1 to me politically, and to men
in other states who led the Wood
primary campaign, that he be nomi-
mated. We have put the case in the
hands of Mr.. Hitchcock. That was
the practical politics of the situation
as it now stands"

WANT CONGRESS To-
REMAIN ON ] OBJ
Protest Adjournment Before
Action to Lower Cost of
Living Is Taken.

Chicago, June 3.-Leaders of II
unions of employees with a member
ship of 100000 men sent message
to President Wilson, Speaker Gillett
of the house of representative and
Senator Lodge, protesting against
the proposed adjournment of con-
gress and urging that it remain in
session until some definite action
10 curb profiteering and reduce the
cost of living has been taken.
The telegram declared that not a
single remedial measure touching
en- these subjects has been passed
by congress and declared that ''in
the circustances it appears to US
incredible that the responsible lead
ers of the government at Washing
ton can assent to this seeming
do-nothing policy which means the
grave economic problems Of the peo-
pie are to be made the playthings
of politics and politicians for the
next five months ..... ,.
Adjournment of congress at this
time Invites political chaos and
business disaster" the telegram said
in closing.
B. F. Jewell, acting president of
the railway shopmen's department,
also declared that unless the rail-
way labor board promptly grants
an increase in wages, employees will
seek more lucrative employment
and the entire railroad industry will
be disrupted.

half vote each, and seating four
