The city administration and the Vares
hold complete control- of the Republican
City Committee by a vote Of 2 tb 1. as a
1 result of tho election of city committeeman
y the various ward committees last night.
The downtown nolltlcal leaders not onlv
established their supremacy In tho city by
winning 12 wards from tho Penrose-McNIchol
wine of the organization, but they
.secured their position to such an extent
that the war "to the knife" can now be
carried on without fear of reparation.
The Vnres, Mayor Smith. David Martin
and David II. Lane now control 32 of tho 4S
wards: the Penrose-McNIchol faction IB
wards". Prior to tho election last night, tho
Vare-Smlth wine controlled 21 of tho city
committeemen and tho Penrose-McNIchol
faction 27. In tho election Vare won 13
wards and lost 1, tho 3d.
With their political supremacy (Irmly
established a complete house-cleaning in
the city and county departments is ex
pected In political circles. Tho dismissal
of Frank J. Cummlskey, chief of the Bureau
of City Property, from a J3500 place, and
H. Curzon Doyle, from an $1800 place in
the County Commissioners' office, late yes
terday, it Is declared, marks the beginning
of tho weeding out of Penrose-McNIchol
men In City -Halt. The dismissals are Jus
tified by the friends of the administration
on tho grounds that men who would op
pose the Mayor at the polls and "cut" tho
loan bills under orders are not fit to hold
city positions.
"I MEAN TO ACT AS I SEE FIT."
When asked directly today If he con
templated a general shake-up In City Hall,
which would mean the elimination of vir
tually all McNlchol men. Mayor Smith
said:
"I have nothing to say about that, but I
mean to act as I see fit without consulting
ny McNlchol people."
The Mayor's noncommittal statement
carries but little hope to the McNlchol men
who are holding fat places on the city's
payroll and who totlay aro on tho 'anxloui
bench, fearing that they will be tho next
asked or ordered to step down and out
Itumors at City Hall today relative to
a. general shake-up Include the names of
several bureau chiefs and office superin
tendents. Prominent among tho names
mentioned were- thoso of Chief William II.
Connell, of the Highway Bureau: Chief
John Lucas, of the Burcnu of Boiler In
spection, and Superintendent of Mainte
nance William S. Bowen.
Mayor Smith, during the political battle
leading up to tho primary election and to
tho voto on the municipal loans, declared
that he would not take any part in factional
politics "until after May IB." This state
ment was construed to mean that after the
date set he would In an unmistakable way
take a hand In political matters, His
frequent conferences since the primaries
with Congressman Vare, "Dave" Martin
and other leaders of the Vare-Smlth wing
of the party, has led to the general belief
inai tne .Mayor is anxious to become the
virtual head of the party and that any
leaders unfriendly to the Administration
can look for no favors.
DISMISSAL OF CUMMISKEY.
In reply to a series of questions put to
him today relative to any plan he may
have for a general weeding out of Penrose
McNIchol officeholders in City Hall, the
Mayor said: "I don't caro what tho Mc
Nlchol people think about the Cummlskey
matter. I did not ask permission of the
McNlchol people to appoint him and I sea
no reason why I should be expected to nsk
them about his dismissal. Cummlskey was
one of my few personal appointments and
as I did not consult nny one as to his ap
pointment there Is no reason why I should
ask any one before asking him to resign."
The Penrose-McNIchol leaders and office
holders aro on the anxious bench and ad
mit that they would like very, much to
know who will be next to go, 'the Mayor
was told. In reply, he said, "that's not my
fault I mean to conduct this office my
self and after I act It will be time enough
o take the newspapers into my confidence.
Tfou newspaper boys thought the Cummls
key matter was new. when I really aBked
blm to resign last Friday."
"But, "Mr, Mayor, you kept very quiet and
the bureau chief marked for removal said
nothing until It was evident that he could
not hope to hold on. s How, under these con
ditions, could you expect reporters to learn
of your action?" '
"I did not expect It," said the Mayor.
"But that Is what I mean by acting first
and not trying any bucIi matters through
the newspapers."
The Msyor was asked If, In view of tho
general publication of tho fact that Cum
mlekey was asked because of the failure of
the 25th Ward to support him for national
delegate, he did not think It would be bet
ter to take the public Into his confidence
ns to his reasons for the chief's removal.
In reply he said. "No, I won't talk about
my reasons. I have my reasons and that Is
enough for me, I don't care what the Mc
Nlchol crowd or any one else thinks. I am
acting, not talking."
The want contests wero marked by some
of the bitterest fights In years, and there
may be several contests for the City Com
mittee to decide. Police intimidation was
charged In the 16th and 43d Wnrds by
the Penrose-McNIchol men. It wns snld
that plain clothesmcn from City Hall and
some In uniform wero stationed at tho
doors of the room where the election was
held.
COMMITTEMEN PBO TEM.
In n number of tho wnrds, committeemen
pro tern, were elected, becnuso many of tho
regularly slated candidates are In Chicago
for tho convention, No proxies will be
allowed when the City Commlttco orgnnlzos
tomorrow, and tho election of temporary
committeemen will glvo n full vote at tho
organization meeting, Tho temporary men
will resign and their places will be filled
by the regular men at tho next meeting of
the ward committees,
Tho closest contests Inst night wero In
tho 23d, 21th and 34th Wards, In the 23d
Ward David T. Hart, n McNlchol man and
tho present city committeeman, wns over
thrown by William McKlnlcy. In the 34 th
Ward a triangular contest between Frank
II. Caven, McNlchol man and present city
committeeman, nnd ex-Senator John J
Coylo, McNlchol candidate to succeed him,
and John C. McAvoy, Vnro man opposing
both, ended with tho two McNlchol men
compromising on former ilocordor of Deeds
Ernest L. Tustln.
In the 24th Ward tho administration
fought hard for tho election of M. I.
Crane, but ho wns defeated by Blakcly Me
Caughn, McNlchol leader of the ward.
The administration was also unsuccessful
In Its opposition to Oscar E. Noll, McNlchol
leader In tho 37th Wnrd. Arthur D. Bren
ner, the Vnro candidate, wns defeated by a
voto of 23 to 16.
Tho wards In which tho administration
allies aro In control as a result of the
election follow:

BACK SLAPPING AND BABY KISSING

CHICAGO, June 6. By the solemn vows
f .various aspiring gentlemen, this political
gathering today stands out as the first non
handshaking, anti-baby hissing, back-slap-plngless
convention in American history,
Senator 'Weeks and Senator Penrose have
promised to keep their hands in their
pockets and have Instructed all their retU
nues to do the same. Not a baby will be
kissed. Nary a mother will be chuckled
under the chin. Even the folks at home
won't be asked for. Weeks and Penrose led
the procession and other candidates' head
quarters said '"hurrah" and followed in. The
reason Is that the candidates believe all
such Jierformancea the veriest flubdub, bun
combe, piffle. In addition to being a con

CHICAGO, Juno 6. Constahtlv InorenR.
Ing bitter feeling between the Progressive
nnd Republican camps todny scrlouily
thrcntencd the hnrmony program prepared
by tho lenders Tho rnnk ami nio of the
delegates on both sides were dinting under
the strain of Inaction Tho secret confer
ences of the leaders, csneclallv thoso li.irtlni.
pated In by George W. Pcrltlnn nnd such
notablo Old Ounril leaders ns Reed Hmoot.
Boles Pcnroio and Murray Crane, were dis
tasteful to tho rndlcnl Progressives, nnd
they number nearly u majorltj of tho tlolo
Bntcs to that party's convention. And Hip
dyed-ln-thc-wool Republicans, who blnmo nil
of tho troublos of tho party on tho Progres
sives, were openly assorting that they camo
to Chicago to attend n Hcpulilicnii conven
tion, and did not propose to hao nny other
organization control their actions,
Tho lenders wero still groping In the
, dark In nn effort to find a solution which
would unite tho fnctlons. Colonel Roose
velt, from Oys'cr Bay, wns directing a
fight fl-oin there for his own nomination
that was remarkable In the extreme. Ills
son, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. ; his Secre
tary, John McGrnth. nnd other closo lieu
tenants wero In conversation with him nl
most continually. Roosevelt was said 'bit
terly to reBent tho nttltudo of tho Old
Guard leaders who had conteinptu6uslv
told his representatives that thoy would
namo any Republican satisfactory to
Roosovolt but that he personally could
not havo tho nomination Ho sharply told
his lieutenants, Including Georgo W. Pcr
Itlns, that the' must quit open bargaining
If that wns contingent upon his own elim
ination, LEONARD WOOD AS COMPROMISE
A quiet rumor was given circulation this
morning that may yet have a potent effect
on tho deliberations of tho convention. Tho
nnmo of Mnjor General Leonard Wood,
former Chief of Staff of the Army and
cry close friend of the Colonel, was being
suggested ns an Ideal compromise can
didate. Roosevelt, It Is well known, would
enthusiastically support General Wood, nnd
would rally to his support every true-bluo
Progressive In the country. Gocrnor
Hiram Johnson, of California, and Glfford
Plnchot. whllo declining to dcvlnte n single
degreo from their outspoken demand for
naming of Roosevelt, smiled when asked
whether they would htnnd for Wood and
nsked wither he was not "such a man"
as tho Colonel.
Dut the Old Guard leaders evidenced no
enthusiasm so far ns Wood was concerned.
They declared that nominating him would
be as bad as accepting tho Colonel himself,
nnd that between tho two evils they would
prefer Roosevelt, because at least they
knew where ho stood on the question of
regularity and organization.
HUGHES' SPEECH AN ASSET.
Tho line-up, so far ns the candidates
were concerned, wns unchanged today. Tho
speech of Justice Hughes, In Washington,
was eagerly seized upon by his followers
as proof that he was for an Americanism
which would satisfy tho people. The Pro
gressive leaders wero asked to read It
carefully and nccept It as an evidence of
Just where Hughes stands.
But Victor Murdock, George W. Perkins,
Henry Allen Johnson, Plnchot and others
scorned such n suggestion. They declared
that If the Justice could 'como through ns
far ns he had with veiled allusions. there
was nothing In the way to prevent him sal
ting his views before tho convention, and
they declared with an emphasis that left
little to the Imagination that they were
unalterably opposed to tho Justice as a can
didate. Hughes still was tho leading candidate.
Unless the lenders shall be nble to agree on
a single candidate to oppose him within tho
next 3G hours, his nomination on the sec
ond or third ballot Is a certainty.
"Band wagon" delegates aro ready to
Jump. They aro becoming convinced that
Hughes Is In tho lead nnd nre preparing
to come out Into tho open for him. The
Oregon Hughes delegates say they have
secured pledges from virtually nil tho
Northwestern States, so that most of the
unlnstrueted Votes from that section will go
to Hughes on the first ballot.
BORAH RELEASES HIS DELEGATES.
Senator William P. Borah, of Idaho, him
self a candidate with his Stato delegation
Instructed for him, released all of his dele
gates from their Instructions today. He
declined to suggest whom they should vote
for, telling the Idaho and Wyoming leaders
who conferred with him that tho delegates
should follow their own choice and that he
did not desire to embarrass any of the
candidates by coming out for an Individual.
But the Borah voters are to go to Hughes
their candidate will Kit IK8 Rdosevelt sup
port finally. This, too. In tho face of tho
flat rejection by the Colonel of thd request,
that he come to the aid of tholloosler
statesman. Fairbanks leaders circulated
mysterious! Tn the hotel rooms while their
delegates cheered nnd shouted In the lob
Itcs, Burton managers also were working
for sccondkCholcd sujjtiort In tho hope that
n long-drawn out series of rollcalln finally
would place their man In a strategic posi
tion. ,
A number, of Progressive", dplegates from
Illinois were" working foHfienntor Sherman,
of Illinois. They urged his clflhhs on, Georgo
W. Perkins last night, but he wns non
committal on the subject Ifxlay, ' Insisting
that none of the avowed piiticlldnjen mas
ured up to the Roosevelt standard..
ROOSEVELT UNACCUPTABLE NOW
Very few details of Just tvliat took place
nt last nleht's conferences between Perkins.
Iiodge, Crane, Pcnroso nnd Smoot were per- J
mltted to be divulged. It Is known that .Mr.
PerklpH for nearly nn hour recited why ho
believed Roosovelt should' be accepted by
tho Republicans. Ho was told by Crano
that tills was out of tho question, nnd this
opinion wns burned In by Penrose nnd
Smoot. After nn Impassioned appeal by
Perkins, Crane voiced the opinion of the
lenders, as follows
"Wo cannot deliver this convention to
Theodore Roosevelt. Wo might pocket our
own feelings nnd ngrco to support him, But
wo cannot deliver tho delegates'. Tho ma
jority of the delegates to this cortvpntlon
aro against Roosevelt this year. Kour years
from now, alt probably would bo for him
If he turned In nnd showed thnt ho was
again the party leader nnd real Republican.
But not now. It In- too early and there nro
animosities thnt have not yot been healed."
Perkins Is understood to have accepted
this statement ns being a correct sum
mary of the situation, but lie refused to
nsk Roosevelt to eliminate himself, de
claring that the Progressives should con
tinue the fight In his behalf until tho
vvlndup
ONLY ROOSEVELT,
NO SECOND CHOICE,
PERKINS' SLOGAN
"Time to Be for Somebody,
for Something, to
iiuild Up"
'OUT FOR MATCHLESS MAN'
right from the outset, nnd while tho Sena
tor declines to hV Interviewed It Is known
thai hii considers tho naming of Hughes
a certainty. . . " . '
The Fairbanks fpllowersstlll claimed that
"WE WANT TEDDY" SLOGAN REVIVED
Tho Roosevelt plan of ."creating nn nt
mosphcre" got well under way today. Stal
wart men, most of them young nnd strong
throated, wero planted nt strategic points
along tho avenue nnd In tho hotels. Their
task was to outshout the delegations who
wore voicing tho claims of the favorite sons
Tho slogan, "Wo want Teddy," was chanted
to the accompaniment of musical Instruments
of every sort, and there were very few of
tho delegations who could bo heard abovo
tho Roosco!t cry. Tho single exception
uns tho Fairbanks crowd. Indiana Is not
so far nway, ond Hnrry Now nnd his ns
slstRr.ts brought hero In a hurry chorus to
shot t for Fairbanks equaled In lung power
tho Roosevelt ballyhoocrs.
Tho Steering Committee of tho Progres
siva also todny strengthened Its ndcr
tlslng campaign on behalf of Roosevelt.
Full-page advertisements appeared In var
ious papers throughout tho country to In
fluence tho people baclc home In favor of
Rooseclt.
"We nro uppcallng to tho people, a plan
first popularized by no one other than
Justice Hughes himself," said Fred W.
Bender, of New York, In explaining tho
plans. Thousands of buttons showing
Roosevelt piloting an. elephant also wero
distributed to nil who would wear them.
But the noise nnd enthusiasm had llttlo
effect on tho delegates. It was a caso of
all of Chicago except the hotels whero tho
delegates are located seemingly being for
T. R.
CAUCUS AGAINST HUGHES.
Plans for a caucus of tho leaders of the
Stato delegations to Heo whether there can
not be an agreement reached on a candldato
was als started, today. This movement
wns backed by tho favorlto-son lenderH and
openly was designed to ellmlnato Huchck
The first suggestion was that Senator
Weeks, of Massachusetts, eliminate himself
and transfer his delegates to his colleague.
Senatoc Lodge, who Is nn Intlmato friend
of Colonel Roosovelt.
But tho Progressives flatly refused Lodge
as a candidate, nnd today the representa
tives of tho allies wero figuring on a gen
eral conforence of all their leaders not later
than Thursday night to Bee whether they
could get together. In order to do this
theso lenders wero canvassing Individual
delegates, to seo whether they can voto
them In hulk for a single candidate If one Is
decided on.
CHICAGO. Juno C Georco W. Perkins,
In n statement to Progressive delegates to
day. Issued' n flnt ultimatum that It Is
Roosevelt or no ono for the presidential
nomination, so Tar ns the Progressives are
concerned.
"Wo have no second choice. Go to It,
Perkins' statement concluded.
Coming on the heels of the meeting of
Progressive Insurgents, called by the Mltf
slsslppl delegation Inst qlRht, tho state
ment of Perkins created n distinct stir.
Perkins' statement follows:
Let mo remind you that we nre not
hoic for the avowed puiposo of being '
ngalnst somebody, We nro hero for
somebody und thut somebody Is Theo
dore Roosovolt.
I urge you-to bear this (n mind In all
of your conversations' ,wltli whomso
ever you talk whllo In Chicago. Tho
process of tearing down men nnd
things In this country and in tho
world should stop, It Is time to bo
for somebody, for something, and to
build up. "Wo haven't got It In for any
body, or anything. We are out for a
matchless man nnd nn incotnptlrahlo
cause.
You know thnt no ono else has such
a man, and that ho is the cnuso.
Therofore, we have no seebnd choice.
"Go to It."
Perkins was asked If this means ho
has no second choice "now or, from now
on."
"Now or nny time," was tho re
sponse. Added significance was seen In tho state
ment, coming ns It did after the Progress
ives had determined to consider tho address
mado by Justice Charles. 11 Hughes yester

ROOSEVELT READY TQ BACK
GEN. WOOD FOR PRESIDENCY
NEW YORK, June G. That Theodore
Roosevelt will support General Leonard
Wood for tho Republican nomination If his
name comes seriously befoio tho convention
wns tho news thnt reached here today from
Oyster Bay. It came from two of tho Colo
nel's visitors. Ho mado tho statement to
them, they said, In the courao of a general
conversation.
According to the visitors, who nsked that
their names bo withheld, Roosevelt believes
General Wood a man eminently fitted for
the labors that will devolve upon the next
President of tho United Stntes. The Colo
nel's visitors said In the event of the
nomination of Wood ho would have tho con
tinued aid and nrdent support of Roosevelt
Their conversation did not Indicate that
the Colonel will Jump out In the support of
Wood Immediately, but rather that if the
convention balloting drags and Wood
climbs up in tho list -Roosovelt ;tvould then
hurl his entire strength Into tho Wood
camp In nn effort to Jam him through.
Roosevelt declined to say a word on tho
speech of Supremo Court Justice Hughes.
After receiving his visitors at Oyster Bay
Roosevelt camo to Now York, going first to
the ofllco of Scribncr's Mngazlno nnd later
to his dentist. This nfternoon ho wns In
his offices at tho Metropolitan Mngazlno
nnd also vent to tho Harvard Club to seo
friends on business, but not on political
business).
Until this morning Colonel Roosevelt had
been at the telephone line almost constantly
slnco Up Installation sevral days ago. A
secretary took up the vigil when the Colo
nel left homo nnd through the morning ap
prised him of tho moves on the Chicago
political checkerboard.
AMBULANCE DRIVER HELD
of
Medico-Chi Chauffeur Accused
Speeding in Accident
Magistrate Beaton, nt tho Central Sta
tion this morning, said that 60 miles an
hour is too fast for even an ambulance tb
travel, nnd held Aqulle Senyard, 23 years
old, chauffeur of tho Medlco-Chfrurglcal
Hospital nmbulance, to await the result
of the Injuries of Morris Solomon, 81 years
old, of 5733 Hazel avenue, who was knocked
down and probably fatally Injured by the
machine, at 58th and Market streetB, yester
day. Detective Slbro, of the 6lBt and Thomp
son streets station, testified tho ambulance
struck the old man as he was trying to
cross Market street. Ho charged that it
was quite a common thing for this particu
lar ambulance to seo how fast It could go,
and that the ambulance Is In that vicinity
nearly every day.
Senyard said he was going after n pa
tient who was suffering from appendicitis,
but Magistrate Beaton said he was not
Justified in endangering the lives of people
on the public highway, no matter what he
was going after.
NOT BACKED BY PARTY MEN.
It must bo borne In mind when consid
ering what is happening In Chicago that
tho Roosevelt movement and tho Hughes
movement aro not sponsored by party men,
or the delegates who havo control of this
situation. Roosevelt has few delegates
nnd Hughes has n few more. Together they
havo not a quarter of tho 080 delegates
comprising tho convention. Both move
ments nro outsldo movements, not Inside,
nnd this convention wns constructed for
Insldo Jobs exclusively. Thnt Is whero
tho weaknesses of the two candidates be
foro the convention nre Identical. Outsldo
clamor will not nominate cither of them.
Inside co-operntlon Is essential.
Moreover, there Is a very good feeling
among both lenders and delegates. There Is
none of the bitterness of four years ago.
There are no shouts about burglary and
porch-cllmblng, The spirit Is excellent nnd
tho Intention of getting a rational and
workablo solution Is Blncere. There Is every
disposition to recognlzo tho wishes of
Colonel Roosevelt, except in i; far as the
nomination of the Colonel lili..Relf Is con
cerned, and It is quite certain that no man
will oo nominated who will bo obnoxious to
hlra.
Thus far no expression from Roosovelt
has come, but one Is hoped for. This ne
cessity, or fancied necessity, eliminates
soveral of the candidates automatically
aqd makes some others doubtful. Whllo
It Is not thought that the candidate se
lected by tho leaders would bo rejected bo
causo tho Colonel would not indorse him,
an Indorsement will bo sought for earnestly
and possibly assured.
This morning tho Important features nre
that the Hughes boom looks to be slowly
but surely passing; that thero Is no change
yet apparent In favor of the nomination of
Roosevelt, nnd that It Is probable tho real
candldato will bo decided upon next Friday
night or Saturday morning.
There will not bo more than two or three
ballots on Friday, If tho leaders have their
way. Then thero will be a recess and a
final attempt mado at combination. Under
standings and agreements aro belngsecured.
Sense of proportion Is being regained by
somo of tho candidates and their managers,
Bluff and Buff, aro giving way to logical
political considerations.
It Is not settled yet, of course, and may
bo settled In any one of a dozen ways not
contemplated this morning; but as It stands
now the man most likely to bo nominated
Is one of theso three: Fairbanks, Burton
or Harding, of Ohio, and tho odds this
morning favor Harding, barring Interfer
ence on thd part of Roosevelt. The man
may not bo Fairbanks, nor Burton, nor
Harding, but these are tho strongest favor
ites today. ,
ROCKEFELLER, JR., GIVES BOOST
FOR WILSON'S CANDIDACY
BRUMBAUGH MEINPS CAUCUS CALLED 'FIASCO"
Continued f rom Pare On .
Ing inany of us now is how sincere
the Progressives' are In their latest
demonstration .of opposition to Hughes.
I th(nk, and I-belle vo, the opinion Is
general that this opposition Is manu
factured by the Roosevelt leaders and
Is a part of their campaign q? strategy,.
Hughes will make a statement at
the proper time. In fact, the platform
wll speak for him.- If he Is 'willing to 'J
accept the nomination and run on the
platform that wil be adopted by this
convention the Progressives can have
no reason for opposing him,
While preparedness will be one of
the big Issues of the campaign I
balleye that four months from, now
there will be. oth,er issues that will
overshadow It. Do not misunderstand '
me; preparedness will be one pf the
most Important Issues.-
The biggest Issues, however, I be
lieve will be the tariff and extravagance
of the Democratic party. We are enjoy
ing prosperity now, but we must have
a tariff that will Insure a continuance,
of that prosperity. There has been aii ,
enormous Increase In imports during ,
the past few months, but practical)! no
Increase In reveHue.
The Issues of tariff and economy in
Government will be fully as Important
as preparedness.
SAY COLONEL 18 OUT OF RACB;
The Hughes people, incidentally, accepted
the Oliver statement as the forerunner of
an overwhelming victory for theipcandU
date. Immediately after the statement was
Issued the word went round and was gen'
erally bejlsved, too, that Roosevelt U now,

BELIEVE HUGHES WILL WIN.
While the feeling prevails among the dele
gates who have arrived for the convention
that Hughes will be the nominee, the
'Pennsylvania delegation, with the excep
tion of a few scattering Roosevelt and
Hughes votes. Is united In Its intention to
stick by Knox until all hope of a dark
horse winning the nomination must be
abandoned.
That Knox wlllf be voted for by the
Pennsylvania delegates on the first few
ballots, however, was Indicated by Senator
Penrose, who earlier personally made the
announcement that he will vote for Knox
on the first ballot.

that the Governor controls not more than
16 of, the votes In the delegation. Only Jo
delegate attended the caucus, and the
subject of the Governor withdrawing wii
not broached. wtts
Congrainn William S. Vare opened the
meeting, ,ajad Public- Service CommisiLagr
William A. Magee, of Pittsburgh, presided.
He announced In a formal way that since
a majority of the regularly elected delegates
had attended the caucus called by Sena
tor Penrose In Philadelphia last Wednes
day and had Indorsed the senior Senator
for chairman of the delegation, the entire
delegation should vote for Penrose for
chairman.
Louis A. Watres, of Scranton, elected as
a pledged Brumbaugh candidate, and who
attended the Penrose caucus and voted for
Penrose last week, "explained" that he had
gone Jo the caucus under the Impression
that all of the delegates were to attend,
and that, after ho was seated In the caucus,
he realized that he could do nothing else
but vote for Penrose.
GOVERNOR'S PLEA FOR PENROSE.
The Governor closed the caucus with a
short speech, in which he asked his fol'
lowers In the delegation to "acqulesco In
the election of Senator Penrose for .chair
man, and thereby prevent the Impression
going abroad that Pennsylvania factional
rows were to be fought out In Chicago."
The Governor repeated his first an
nouncement of his candidacy, and said that
he was willing to retire when It became
apparent that the Republicans can ba united
behind a candidate "frpra a sister State, It
not our own State."
"J have no ambition," he added," to
prevent the nomination of the most capa.
ble Republican who can accomplish that
purpose. On the contrary, I desire to facil
itate the discovery of the most logical can

was tentatively agreed at tlta caucus
that the Governor's name wilt be presented
by Kmerson Collins. The meeting was
then adjourned to meet again at the call
