Tbe bosses whp speak with a note of authority seem to be absent and al though the incoming delegates are willing to be led they don’t find any considerable party being personally conducted in any one direction. None, Nominated on First Ballot About the only thing that everybody seems to be agreed upon is that no can didate-is going to be nominated on the first ballot and from the information that.leaks oufc from the.various inner circles of the different groups it seems that nil the managers are figuring\ on at least three ballots to find out where they stand and make up their, esti mates on the possibilities. The predic tion of- many _ seasoned politcians is that’the convention will have its open ing hurrah, the complimentary votes for the favorite sons, the ballots to fulfill the instructions and pledges, and then the.real business will begin. If tho program being talked of is car ried out, the leaders 'of the delegates from the larger states will have a con ference. and decide whether they shall pool their votes and, returning to the convention next morning, cast them for\ the man 'about whom they have hopes of rallying enough support to command a majority. Whether he be a dark horse or one of the candidates now in the field, no one assumes to say, because only the- preliminary balloting can-determine.it.> But with that as a starting,.point,- the seasoned- pqliticians are quite'sure \there will be little de lay in getting to an agreement. Ifmriy devclDp-; that; some - ono ■ erf\ tho” candl-' dfites.Miow. in Lthe.^fleld, besides haring good prospectg for his'’own'nomination, will, also-'-hbld,;a veto power which will compel the compromise managers to alccept a man of whom.he approves. Senator Johnson is always mentioned when this probability is being dls- .cussed, and none of the practical politi cians denies I the force nt the argu ment. . Congress Has Too Much to Say There is still another element addins to the uncertainty which promises to continue up to Ihe tima this conven tion begins to ballot. It is a repeated ly expressed feeling among state gov ernors, chairmen of state delegations and others that members of Congress and federal officials have too much to say in convention plans and decisions. How far this element will have to be recognized remains to be seen, but no one here denies that there is action going on to have others take a hand in m a k ir,s cp the program. This is the last day of the National Committee’s deliberations on contests among the state delegations, unless something suddenly is upset and the Committeemen will be free to take part in the conferences of tomorrow and Monday which will play so large a-part in shaping the destinies of the convention. Chairman Hayes is mak ing no statement in reply to the steam roller charges, but he points out to in quirers that this year the Committee made it the practice in its open ses sions to spread upon its minutes the legal reasons for its decision in each case and that this record will be avail able of the contests are to be discussed, in the credentials committee or if a fight is to be carried to the floor of the convention. For nearly a week now things have j been shaping up to a point where only a'push was required to start them off. The National Committee in its daily sessions was really the only part of the political machinery actually doing any work. All the cither politleans on the scene were holding conventions in the hotel lobbies and milking nominat ing speeches to any crowd that was willing to listen. With the steady arri val of men who bear the responsibility of leadership something more than that, gossip will begin to develop from now on. “Golden Poppies Special” Arrives 'Sevei'al full delegations and numer ous fragments of others were scheduled to roll in today. Among them were the California and Nevada delegations in the \Golden Poppies Special’’, named from the quantities of California’s flowers kept oh ice for distribution here. The big influx of delegates and vis itors is expected tomorrow and Mon day. Railroad officials say they are being taxed for. equipment because of the extra sleepers and diners needed to carry the crowds. Among recent bookings at the prominent hotels^ are Judge Garey, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation- George W. Perkins, and party of New York; Henry W. Taft, John Hays Hammond; Whitelaw -Reid, and Frank A. Vander- lip, Charles F, Murphy, Tammany chief, has room for himself and several friends. , Some of the negro delegates and al- SrilTS IN TEXAS. SAYS GREEN Washington, June 5.—After hearing Colonel E. H. R. Green of Texas, son of the late Mrs. Hetty Green, the Sen ate committee investigating pre-con vention political financing adjourned, its sessions today until July 9. Colonel Green said he had contribut ed money to the mixed faction of black and white Republicans in Texas but defiled that he was working for Gen eral Wood, or any other presidential candidate. Chairman Kenyon announced that William Loeb, Jr., who collected $225,- 000 for tho Wood campaign, and Al fred J. Greenbaum, treasurer of the Johnson campaign organization in Cal ifornia, Had not respended, to commit tee summons, but that they might have reasonable excuses. Declaring that three sets of Texas delegates were in Chicago Colonel Green said that “if they had more time they would have split some more.” “The pressure for oflice is great,” he continued, “and we’ve got more candi dates for offices than Republican voti ers.” ternates are reported to have rented houses for the convention period. Women Open Headquarters Leaders of the National Woman’s Party who have planned to ulcket the convention hall to emphasize their de mand for a pla'tform plank urging the states to complete ratification of tha suffrage amendment, have opened headquarters across the street from the Coliseum.
