READY TO HEAR THE CONTESTS Attorneys Dick and McHars Con fer with Acting Chairman Vic tor Kownnter Over Hules of Procedure. CHICAGO. June 5. Congressman Wil liam E. McKinley and Senator Joseph M iJixon, respectively directors of the Taft ami lioosevelt forces signalized their ad vent in the convention city .by issuing statements containing diametrically op posite "'certainties." 1 The Taft leader in a formal statement said: "President Taft will be the nominee of lh convention with approximately 600 otes on the first ballot." Senator Dixon in an equally positive statement declared: , "The nomination of President Taft Is physically and humanly impossible with the delegates elected." Congressman McKlnley added that the personal presence of Colonel Roosevelt in convention "would only make the outcome more certain against him." Senator Dlxton Insisted that the Roose velt men "absolutely control the con vention without taking the contested delegates Into consideration. Howell Will 11c Turned Down. The attempt of It. B. Howell of Ne braska to take Acting Chairman Victor Rosewater's place on the national com mittee Thursday is certain of defeat, ac cording to leading members of the com mittee. William L. Ward of New York, who will be a leader In the Roosevelt ranks, said he believed the committee would quickly dispose of the case ad versely to Mr. Howell's claim. "The way the national committee is constituted," he said, "the terms of its members cannot begin until the end of the national convention, when the new committee is" formally recognized." Victor Rosewater, acting chairman of the national committee, discussed the rules for contest hearings, In which slight changes probably will be made, with Ormsby McHarg, the Roosevelt contest attorney, and, fprjtoer Senator Charles Dick 'of Ohio, who will represent the Taft claimant - JMxmi'a Statement. Senator Dixon's statement in part fol lows: - "Some vt the Taft managers in their desperation have thrown out broad In timations that a majority of the repub lican national committee would by revo lutionary methods and strong-arm. tac tics attempts to reverse the plain verdict of the republican voters. I bitterly re sent these insinuations. "We have no fear in resting our case in the matter of contested delegates to the committee's decision." The talk of a bolt from the convention by the Roosevelt forces Senator Dixon designated as "Junk." The senator pointed to the result of the South Dakota primaries as evidence of the triumph of Roosevelt and added: "The Taft machine in Ohio refused to submit to the popular verdict the ques tion of the election of six delegates-at-large. They boldly and insolently in de fiance of the express wish of the repub licans stole the six delegates-at-large." Congressman McKinley in his statement declared: "The sober-minded thought not only of the republican party but of the people will be further respected at the polls in November by the re-election of President Taft for a second term. "The campaign of bluff, bulldoze and bluster which Mr. Roosevelt has con ducted for the nomination Is drawing to a close. ' "No terrorization or Intimidation on the part of Mr. Roosevelt or his managers can change the result. No compromise is possible as between the candidates be cause the fight Is already won by Presi dent Taft." lioosevelt May Stay Away. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., June 5.-Wltn only Incomplete returns at hand from the South Dakota primaries Colonel Roose velt said today that he would make no. statement, although his latest Informa tion indicated that he had carried the state by 10,000 to 12,000. Colonel Roosevelt said he still believed it would be unnecessary for him to go to Chicago, as he expected the national committee to decide the contests on their merit.

Y-BMM Lines Are Drawn for Battle First Session of Republican National Committee Will Be Held This Afternoon Admission of Press First Question Up Howell Brings Certificate. BY VICTOR HOSEYVATKIl. Editor of The Bee and Acting Chairman Republican Nations' CHICAGO, June 5. (Special Telegram.) No startling changes have taken place in the political situation here except the steady inflow of the gathering hosts pre paratory to the great contest which is being waged for control of the coming republican national convention. Except ing about ten, all the members of the national committee are on the ground. The fighting forces of the campaign headquarters maintained by the opposing candidates at Washington have been transferred here in a body and are mar shalled In battle array. The lines are visibly being more tightly drawn anil the political generals on both sides are trying strenuously to gain every possible advantage. The call for the committee meeting, which I issued a month ago, sets the hour for convening at 2 o'clock tomorrow after noon. The expectation is that this session will be a preliminary one for organization and adoption of rules, so that the first contest case may be called early the next day. Right here is where a clash is bound to occur at the outset, a difference having arisen as to how wide the doors should be opened to the representatives of the press. Some of the old-time members of the committee are opposed to opening the doors at all, but as it Is the expressed wish of both President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt that all the contests be fully aired and nothing be kept under cover. the rules will be amended to admit the great press associations as the publicity avenues serving all the dally papers! ROOSEVELT CARRIES DAKOTA Plurality of Colonel Will Be Several Thousand. SENATOR GAMBLE IS DEFEATED Byrne Has Lead Over Egan In Con test for the Gubernatorial Nomi nation Meager Returns Favor Dillon. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 6. -Latest returns from the South Dakota primary election Indicate that the plurality for the Roosevelt delegates may reach 15,000. On governor, 700 precincts in the state, this being about half of the precincts, give Byrne a lead of 7,000 over Egan. It is claimed by the Byrne people that Byrne's majority over Egan will run over 12,000 to 15,000. Conservative esti mates place Byrne's majority at about 10,000. Thomas Sterling's frUaa'S claim his nomination over Senator Gamble by 8,000 to 12,000 plurality. The Gamble men ad mit the race js, clow, btrt do not concede the defeat of Gamble. - Returns on other offices yet are com ing In slowly. Returns thus far received in the Sec ond congressional district give Congress man Burke, for re-nomlnation, a lead of about 800 over Curtlss, his nearest republican opponent. Congressman Martin Is conceded to have won in the Third district. . The slowness with which returns on offices under governor are coming in makes It likely that It will be at least a day longer before the results on lieu tenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, railroad commissioner and members of the state supreme court, for which there were opposing republican candidates are defintely known. Latest returns from Mitchell, S. D., shows that In the congressional contest In the First district, C. H. Dillon of Yankton, has a lead of about 800 over O. L. Branson of Mitchell. Returns are practically complete. Manager for Edward S. Johnson, demo cratic candidate for governor, claims he has won by 3,000 over P. F. Wickhem Wickhem's defeat is not conceded. lAst of Oelegates.

V The hall in which the committee Is to meet has physical limitations on its capacity. The horde of newspaper men already in evidence is formidable, and apparently growing every day and pre sumably the line must be drawn some where to insure unimpeded proceedings and avoid over crowding. While no documents , in the case are yet on file, I hear that a beautifully autographed certificate, with the great golden seal of state duly attesting that one R. B. Howell received the greater number of votes polled under the heading of "National Committeeman" on the re publican ballots In the recent Nebraska primary, is ready for presentation. 1 will not undertake to anticipate the re ception that will be accorded it, but have no hesitancy In saying that mall ad dressed to me as the member of the com mittee from Nebraska continues to he delivered with impressive regularity. I did not know until I came over here this time how many former Omaha and Nebraska people are living in ChicagoJ and vicinity. They are besetting me at every turn with claims to recognition for ticket applications on the ground that they once lived in Nebraska, and they rarely appreciate the suggestion that preference should be given to those who have not moved away. American Marines Are Enroute to City of Guantanamo CAIMANERA, Cuba, June 5.-Four hundred and fifty American marines un der command of Colonel Lucas were landed this morning at Dcses Point, close to Calmanera, from which point they pro ceeded by train for Guantanamo City.
