RUMPUS OVER
WOOD MANAGER
Talk of Showdown Between
Frank H. Hitchcock and
William G. Proctor
REPUBLICAN SEAT
CONTESTS HEARD
Only Two Republican Can
didates for President
Yet in Chicago

Chicago, June Hearings on the
claims of contesting delegations from
Florida, the District of Columbia,
Georgia and Louisiana occupied the at
tention of the Republican national
committee to-day. While the nation
al committee is hearing the contests,
things are beginning to stir about the
headquarters of the presidential candi-
dates and their managers. Hotels, al
ready overctowded, are beginning to
show the first symptoms of cam
paign week of noise and confusion.
Headquarters are blossoming out with
banners and Autographs, but the cam
paign managers have not yet emerged
from the state of confident predictions.
Only two of the ndidates-Governor
Lowden and Major General Wood
are in the city. but Senator Harding
and Senator Johnson will arrive later
in the week
Estimates of the probable duration
of the convention are as numerous as
the candidates are various. Some con-
fdent ones have made railroad reser-
yations to return home on Thursday
of convention weak. The prediction
that a presidential candidate probably
win be nominated on Friday night and
a vice presidential candidate on Satur.
day seems to be regarded among most
of the politicians as probably being
more accurate than any other.
Tho r,apnra Ilty Oh fap4uts..a
program seems to be Tuesday for tenn
porary organization and keynote
speeches, Wednesday for permanent
organization and work of the reso-
lutions committee framing the lat
form, leaving Thursday and Friday for
balloting if two days he needed.
All the politicians seem to agree
that no one is going to he nominated
on the first ballot. Many of them are
going so far as to make predictions OF
what will happen on the first, second
and third. Then come the sanguine
predictions and, claims of what is GO
ing to happen on the fourth.
Principal interest outside the nation
al committee meeting to-day centercd
about a conference of the Wood man
ayers which has been called TO decide
who is to take charge of the generals
forces on the floor of the convention.
There has been talk of show down
between Frank II. Hitchcock and VIII
liam Cooper Proctor, but Mr.. Hitch.
cocks friends declare none will be
precipitated by him. Mr. Hitchcock's
attitude has been described as one of
agreement with whatever the generals
managers decide upon and his friends
are saying to-day that anyone expect
ing a rumpus in the Wood camp over
the question of leadership will be dis
appointed.

him and, when he saw him, was bleed
ing profusely from cuts and bruises.
Robinson was so shaken up that he
did not know just what did happen. st.
John got out of the machine and went
away somewhere.
When the police arrived, Cheever
was lying beside the road He was
taken to the Mary Fletcher hospital,
where it was found that he was not
