TAFT HSERHE
No Selection of National
Chairman Is Made.
DAUGHERTY MOST TALKED OF.
Believed That Ohio Mnn or Charles D.
Hllles, Private Secretary to Presi
dent, Will Be Choice All Think
That Toft Has a Fight
ing Chance.
Washington, July a After confer
ences exti'iitlliiB over nn entire day the
subcommittee of nine of the Hepub
liean nntlounl committeo quit without
.!!c tnnilo nny selection for chntr-
Ki of the national committee. As n
. nit of the day's conference the drift
h been decidedly toward Charles P
II the president's private secretin-.,,
ai.d Harry M. DniiRlierty, who
hns bc-i prominent In Ohio politics for
several jears
William Hamcs. Jr.. who has been
favorably considered for the place, has
practically been eliminated. The na
tional committee were almost iinanl
mouK in the opinion that Mr. Humes l
the best equipped man for the place,
but the fear was expressed that his se
lection would lead to the iminedinte
lupKiuj; of the Burnes issue into the
Taft catuivilnn.
The members of the subcommittee
who were instructed by the national
committee to confer with the president
in regard to the permanent organiza
tion of the latter committee found Mr.
Taft's mind absolutely open on the
chairmanship. This was disappointing
to some members of tho committee.
The president Insisted on having the
views of the committeemen and upon
giving his own opinions in regard to
several candidates. Tho result was
that the committeemen ended their
day's labors without any candidate
bearing the Taft tag. The president,
now that he has obtained n full expres
sion of views from tho committeemen,
will indicate his choice more definitely
late today.
Think Taft Has Chance.
The most notable thing about the
chairmanship situation is that live or
six candidates really want the Job.
Mr. Uanies of New York would like to
have it So would Mr. Daugherty of
Ohio. The fact was taken to indicate
that the political wisacres think that
Taft at least has a good lighting chance.
There was a surprising cheerfulness
among these committeemen ovor the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson by the
Democratic convention and the an
nouncement of the call for tho third
party.
The subcommittee consists of Gen
eral Powell Clayton of Arkansas, chair
man; Alva II. Martln of Virginia, sec
retary; Hoy O. West of Illinois, John J.
Adams of Iowa, Charles H. Warren of
Michigan, Thomas A. Neldrlughaus of
Missouri, P. W. Estabrook of New
Hampshire, Sewell Sanders, United
States senator from Tennessee, and
Samuel A. Perkins of Washington.
All the members except Mr. Perkins
were present. Mr. Estabrook, after the
White House conference, was desig
nated to 6ieal; for the committee. He
said:
"Wo agreed not to mention any
names for publication. Thero u-ere
eight or ten names mentioned and con
sidered, representing various sections
of the eouupy. Thero was no recom
mendation in favor of any man for
chairman, and It appeared that no one
was prejudiced in favor of or against
any one. This loaves every ono in the
field with, equal clinnccs."

NOTIFYING
OF THEIR
The Procedure Used to Be
Very Simple, the Mails
Being Employed.
OTIFYING the candidates ol
their nominations by their re
spcctlvo conventions may takt
place at any time. There Is lie
rule about It. Generally It occurs with
in thirty days after the conventions.
The permanent chairman of a conven
tion is usually chairman of the notlll
cation committee. The first presiden
tial nominee to get tho notification as
It Is now made was Henry Clay, In
1S31. The committee consisted of one
delegate from each state. From then
until now to be one of the notification
committee has, In the estimation ol
the committeeman, added luster to his
name.
Before the plan now in vogue tioinl
nees were notified by mall. That cus
tom caused one nominee some chagrin.
The chairman of the convention noti
fied htm by letter. In those days the
recipient of a letter paid the postage
when the letter was delivered. In the
case of the uomlnation of General Tay
lor by the Whig convention the chair
man. Governor Morehcad, wrote the
notification letter. After several weeks
of silence Governor Morehcad became
uneasy. General Taylor's mall was un
usually heavy, and he gave orders that
all mail to his address should bo re
turned to the dead letter office unless
tho postage was prepaid. Tho chair
man of the Whig convention liad failed
to prepay on his letter of notification,
and back It went to tho dead heap in
Washington. Thereupon tho chairman
wrote another letter of notification,
put on tho stamps and hurried It to the
waiting nominee In Louisiana. General
Taylor replied to that at length.
Notification of Hendricks.
The nominee is notified at his place
of residence unless some other arrange
ment is made. If tho ofllccr of tho day
at Governors island had not understood
his business a laughable incident might
have occurred when General nancocfc,
tlien In command of the eastern depart
ment was waited upon by tho notifica
tion committeo from tho Cincinnati
convention, which nominated General
Hancock for president A Missouri
editor, who was one of the committee,
broke uway from the main body as It
approached the veranda of the house
of tins commandant nnd endeavored to
persuade the ottlcer In charge of such
matters that he must have the guns
roar ont tho presidential salute. It is
said that tho Mlssourian used his per
fervid orntory in trying to havo the
officer understand that ho (the Mlssou
rian) had a verbal order for what he
asked. It is not known what reply
the officer made, but tho guns didn't
roar nnd the story never got out
It is remembered by a few of Uio old
politicians who were In tho conven
tion that nominated Cleveland and
Hendricks, that tho Indiana statesman
and his friends were greatly Incensed
over tho failure of tho convention to
make the tall of tho ticket reverse it
self. Mr. Hendricks was a sage In
Democratic councils when Mr. Cleve
land was a day scholar. Mrs. Hen
dricks was a high born lady In the
best social circles of her own homo and
In Washington. She shared tho po
litical ambitions of her illustrious hus-
TOGO'S OLD SHIP WRECKED.
The Naniwa Is the Cruiser Which Be
gan the War With China.
Tho cruiser Naniwa, which was re
cently wrecked off tho Kurila Islands, In
tho north Pacific, was tho flagship of
Admiral Togo tn tho Chinese-Japanese
war of 1804.
Tho Naniwa is a cruiser of 3,030 tons
nnd was in ISM tho flagship of the
first flying squadron of tho Japanese
navy. A shot from tiio vessel started
tho Chinese-Japanese war.
Tho Kowshlng, a transport flying tho
British flag, with a British captain and
crew and carrying 1,100 Chinese sol
diers, was overtaken by Togo in tho
Naniwa. He brought tho transport to
a stop by tiring two blank cartridges.
Togo then sent a lieutenant aboard the
Kowshlng, demanding that tho trans
port turn about nnd steam back with
the Naniwa to tho Japanese fleet The
captain of tho Kowshlng agreed to do
this, but his British officers and the
Chlncso soldiers mutinied. After four
hours' delay Togo opened Dro and sank
the transport. This began the war
with China, throughout which tho Nn
nlwa was Togo's flagship. It was henv
ily pounded by Chlneso guns in various
engagements, but suffered no vital
damage.

band. She had exalted Idcns of her
own position. Ono of the unauthentic
enjod stories about the nomination of
Mr. Hendricks was that tho national
committee of hts party was forced to
borrow sonic old time diplomacy In
persuading Mrs. Hendricks to "let Tom

Hendricks ugaln spoke, For a reason
that was not explained the committee

N. Y., on and after a certain date. At
that time Saratoga Springs was a so
cial center. It ranked Newport The
notification of Mr. Hendricks was timed
to take place when the senson wns at
its height.
The notification of tho head of the
ticket was overshadowed by the so
cial trimmings thnt were attached to
tho notification of the tall. A corre
spondent of n Chicago newspaper who
was present telegraphed among other
words thnt "the old Atlantic rolled in
majesty before the scene as Mr. Hen
dricks stood on tho veranda of the
great hotel." Possibly on account of
the hurry incident to making up a
newspaper In tho early morning hours
the old Atlantic rolled before Saratoga
Springs In every issue of the paper. In
somo way not explained the story
reached Mr. Hendricks, and he is said
to havo "hoped to the Lord that Mrs.
Hendricks would not hear of it."
Chosen by His Own Vote.
It Is said, but this Is not vouched for,
that when Mr. Cleveland heard of the
"break" he sent word to his running
nintw that as ho had drawn the At
lantic ashore he hoped he would be
able to land the necessary votes to
elect the ticket.
As there Is already somo talk about
certain electors casting their votes for
a candldato who was not nominated,
it is Interesting to recall that ono pres
ident was chosen by his own vote. At
tho time of tho election tho elder
Adams was a member of the electoral
college. Ono of tho electors had been
chosen by a popular vote. He was a
Federalist, Instructed for Adams, ne
voted for Jefferson and Finckney. Mr.
Adams, as vice president, presiding
over tho senate, opened the certificates
of the electoral count and declared him
