Howell, recently elected republican na
tional committeeman dam Nebraska
by direct primary, would come to Clil
cago on June a when the national com
mlttee meets to hear contests snd de
mand his sest caused a stir today among
members of the committee.
Mr. . Howell Is a suporter of Colonel
Roosevelt and waa chosen at the direct
primary aa the successor of Victor Rosa
water. acting chairman of tha national
republican committee, whose official duty
Itw ould be lo call the republican con
vention to order on June IS and Intro
duce Senator Ellhu Root as temporary
chairman.
At the lo-al Roosevelt headquarters It
waa said Cat Mr. Howell had been ad
vised that under ths law he was entitled
to Immediate possession of hla aeat aa
member of the national republican com
mittee from Nebraska and ha would In
sist upon recognition 'when the com
mittee meet to hear contests on June 1
Thomas K. Nledrlnghaus. sleeted re
publican sartorial committeeman from
Missouri under th direct primary, and
others similarly elected, will. It Is ssld.
demand their seats when ths committee
meets next week. .
Three ta Stake Attempt.
Roosevelt managers hers declare there
ars at least three national committee
men who will attempt to assume their
official duties before the question of
contests la taken up by th committee.
Ths operation of the direct primary
law In a number of atatea where tha
national committeemen are chosen by
popular vote instead of by the delegate
presents another problem which ta all
probability wlH have to be dealt with
either by th national oommlUe or ths
national convention. ' ,
Harry a New, chairman of th sub
committee on arangemente. aald:
"Th term or a national committeeman
begins with th adjournment of th con
vention. whe tb new metnhera always
are called spew ta meet and assume
their official duties. Tltig Is th rule
snd practice of th party and Is a
old as th party Itself.
"There la no just demand nor reason
able excuse for a departure ; from this
rule. In my opinion. . -.
"A candidate for president who receives
a majority of Ui votes might with equal
propriety go to th Whits House the
minute the vote Is canvassed and de
mand th office On th ground that h
wanted tha office so bad f eoujd not
wait until the Incumbent term ex
pired. . ' , ,
niSht ta Orderly Meellas.
"Tha republican party has a right is
an orderly convention and It Is the duty
of the republican national committee to
see that it haa one. Th commute ox
lets for thst very purpose. -
It Is th duty of the commutes to pro
vide rules for the conduct of the con
vention and provide temporary officers,
This la necessary to Identify ths conven
tion with the party and th differentiate
that convention from any irresponsible
gathering that might atempt to constitute
Itself a republican convention without
authority.
The member of the national commit'
tee are men of character and standing
and are entitled to some respect They
are not to be bullied nor threatened Into
a failure to do their duty aa they see It
I hav no doubt that the committee It
self will show some respect for precedent
and orderly methods snd Insist upon
their observance."
The time limit set by the national com
mittee In Its call for the filing of con-
testa expired at midnight snd the brief
