Chicago III. Juuc 10. The outcome

of the Republican convention Is no
more definite today 'than yesterday.
I Root received many votes that arc in
structed for Roosevelt. Giving Taft
the full benefit of the fraudulent Texas
and other votes he falls short of a nn-
J jorlty. Public sentiment is so aroused
over the Texas steal and especially the
delegates at lare that the contention
is apt to reverse the action of the na-
tional committee.
If the convention husinlns the na-

So Much Disorder Eesults From Interruptions That Sen-

the Eall Cecil Lyon Is Characterized by One
of the Speakers as a Fallen Boss Ari-
zona Contest Brought into the Debate.
Convention Hall Chicago 111. June 19. With interest so intense as
almost to preclude applause the Republican national convention at 4:30 was in
the midst of an argument on the motion of governor Hadley of Missouri to
"purge" the temporary" roll of 92 delegates contested by the Roosevelt faction
but seated by the nationalcommittee.
It seemed likely that the debate and the vote on the question would last
all afternoon.
The debate on the question was exceedingly hot and personal at times.
Hadley defended his own motion and senator Hemenway of Indiana
was among those who spoke against the motion.
Hemenway said that of the 14 members of the national committee pro-
I testing against the committee's roll all

rose?" "Penrose above Flinn every time" he shouted back in reply. Great
confusion followed.
Hemenway attacked Cecil Lyon of Texas as a powerful boss whose
influence had been broken at last.
During the speaking the lie was passed between Captain W. E. English
and W. H. Dye of the Indiana delegation and great confusion followed.
Mayor Shanks of Indianapolis said Geo. L. Record one of the speakers was
a liar. "He can get a scrap out of me if he wants it."
Chicago. 111. June 19. The second
day of the fifteenth Republican national
convention opened -with 16 hours of
stubborn lighting ahead and the out-
come of the contest for the presi-
dential nomination uncertain. There
were four possibilities. The nomina-
tion of Taft the nomination of Roose-
veltvelt the nomination of a third
candidate and the possibilities for a
second or double convention. Backers
of any of these were plentiful.
Shrewd observers declare two points
in today's deliberation are dependable:
First Xo contest will be decided as
Hadley desires until the contests have
been gone into and returned from the
credentials committee.
Second There will be no compromise
candidate until the Taft and Roosevelt
forces have tested their strength fur-
ther on roll calls.
Although the convention faced the
real struggle of the Roosevelt leaders
to obtain control of the v permanent
roll of delegates there was a noticeable
lack of excitement or enthusiasm about
the convention hall.
Soon after chairman Root had ar-
rived at 10:54 a. m. he was flanked on
one side by governor Hadley the
Roosevelt leader and on the other by
James Watson of the Taft forces.
As a preliminary to the day's ex-
pected hostiliteis. all three shook hands
"and retired to their corners."
Governor Hadley and Watson ar-
ranged for an equal division of three
hours' debate that was to be allowed
on the Roosevelt proposition to sub-
stitute a roll containing 92 Roosevelt
delegates in place of 92 Taft followers
seated by the national committee.
Before calling the convention to or-
der chairman Root and the other offi-
cers of the convention posed for a
series of pictures. This helped to de-
lay matters several minutes beyond the
scheduled hour 11 oclock.
Convention Meets at 11:15.
Chairman Root finally pounded the
table with- his gavel at 11:15 and or-
dered the sergeant-at-arms to clear the
aisles '
Fifteen minutes passed before chair-
man Root again took up his gavel and
with emphatic blows on the table in-
sisted upon quiet and order.
Then pounding the table again. Root
announced:
'The exerciser I mean the business
of this day will be opened with
prayer by the Rev. Joseph Stolz."

Rabbi Stolz prayed as follows:
"O. Lord who art the loving father

Convention Gets Down to Business.
Senator Root announced that the un-
finished business of the day was the
motion of Watson that the convention
proceed to the appointment of the
regular committees and the substitute
motion of governor Hadley that the
Roosevelt list of delegates be substi-
tuted for the temporary rolL
He also mounced an agreement to
three hours' debate and asked if there
was objection. There was not. It had
been agreed in advance that there
should be no parliamentary points of
order against the Roosevelt motion
the Taft forces agreeing to fight the
matter owt before the delegates.
As governor-Hadley advanced to the
front of the stage to open the debate
a round of cheers from the Roosevelt
forces greeted him. When the tumult
subsided governor Hadley began an
explanation of the situation confront-
ing the convention.
Hadley Begins Address.
He reviewed the events of yesterday
leading up to the ruling of national
committee chairman Rosewater which
quashed the Hadley motion to purge
the temporary roll.
"We could nave met immediately and
forcibly undone this arbitrary and un-
parliamentary rt -g." said Hadley and
he was roundly cheered.
"Instead we chose to wait patiently
until today."
Governor Hadley read the "indict-
ment" of the national committee as
uttered by colonel Roosevelt in his
Monday night speech in this city and
it called out a big cheer.
"It may be true that there are many
persons who do not agree with us that
Theodore Roosevelt 3hould be our can-
didate for president but there can be
no difference of opinion that his voice
today is the greatest of the western
arid" said Hadley.
Pleads His Cause Strongly.
He then read a statement of 14
mem' ers of the national committee
protesting against the action of the
majority in seating many of the dele-
gates particularly In the California.
Texas and Washington cases.
Governor Hadley made an earnest
plea that personalities be left out of
the debate declaring the question was
so clearly one of principle that it
should not be involved by anything
else. '
Hadley was given the closest atten-
tion throughout In closing he de-
clared that when the vote on the sub-
roll came he would contend that on.
the question submitted only those dele-
gates whose seats were not contested
be allowed to ballot
"All law all precedents agree." he
said "that 0 man should be a judge
in his own case."
Washington Taft Man Speaks.
Hadley was followed by W. T. DoTell.
of Washington who argued in favor of
the Taft delegates seated by the na-
tional committee from Washington.
Mr. Dovell characterised as "reckless-
ly false" the statement credited to
Col. Roosevelt that an effort had been
made to "steal" the Washington dele-
gates. As one of the Taft delegates
from the state he declared there was
no nrimary law in Washington.
"The declaration is utterly false."
he declared "that the state of Wash-
ington was ever carried by Theodo-e
Roose' elt"
Anplause from the Taft delegates.
Dovell was interrupted with groans
from the Roosevelt forces when he said
"When it was discovered the night
before the state convention that th?
Taft forces were in control the adher-
ents of Mr. Rooserelt declined to come
to the convention because tbey knew
thev were beaten."
The clerk for the information of the
conveition then read the names whith
the Hndlcy motion would strike from
the roll au.d the list of those which it
would seat.
Kansas Man Seconds Hadley.
When the announcement was com-
pleted. Henry J. Allen of Kansas was
presented to speak in support of the
Hpdley motion.
Mr. Allen frequently was cheered bv
