Chicago, April 21. Striking rail' road men in the Chicago district re fused today to vote on the, question of returning to work. All efforts of a cdmmittee of strike leaders to ob tain action failed. ' ' M.' J. Kenney, R. S. Murphy and Shannon Jones, three of the, strike leaders arrested last week, made the appeal for a return to work it a mass meeting of striking yardmen. Charge Sold Out. - They were greeted with cries of "sold, outside" and 1'where's Grunau." Jones explained that ef forts to obtain the release of John Grunau, president of the Chicago Yardmen's association, from Joliet jail on bond had not succeeded. ,. Murphy, waving an American flag, took the floor to declare he "would not fight the American government" He- was greeted with cat calls and hisses. ' Union leaders declared after the meeting they were helpless to or der the men back to work. A police lieutenant declared - the meeting adjourned after the strike leaders had been refused a hearing. He announced that no "rump meet ing" would be permitted, and the hall was cleared under police super vision. - ... Bedlam Breaks Loose. Bedlam followed the attempt of the union leaders to address the men. Shouts were" interspersed with cries, of "adjourn." , 1 The 8trjkers filed out and re sumed ' the session at their head quarters. ' ' Many of the men declared Kenny, Murphy and Jone3 had no authority to advise them p return to work. Only President Grunau could do that, they declared. Grunau, at whose request the mass meeting had been called, expected to arrange, for his release from jail to attend. Fail ure of his plans to furnish the $10, 000 bond prevented his appearance.

The woman's vote and the "wet and dry" issue tell the tale of Bry an's success. Mullen lost thousands f votes wh(ch have been in demo cratic primaries in" recent but which switched to the republican field this year apparently because they no longer had an interest in the prohi bition ; jssuc- and further, because thy Wished to support Johnson for president- In precincts where there was a decline in the! total democratic vote and a gain in the total repub lican ballots, there was almost in variably a big boost for Johnson for republican president and a bad drub bing for Mullen for democratic com !' mitteetrjan. Johnson's, Victory Forecasted. ; Johnson's victory had been duite generally forecasted, 1)ut its extent '. was beyond the expectations of ; most political observers. 'In many precincts, as in the Fourth ward of ',, Grand Island, Johnson polled four or five times as many votes as all his opponents. His run in Omaha surprised the "experts," who had at no time believed that he would be a serious contender for first place in this county. , Early in the returns Governor McKelvie seemed in danger of los ing the gubernatorial nomination on : fthe republican ticket to McMullen, ; but later returns made him safe. McMullen led in Omaha and. in ; many of the cities of the state, but the rural vote went largely to Pol lard or McKelvie. r Governor Morehead's easy victory for the democratic nomination for ' governor, while expected, was more of a walk-away than had been fore- casted. The Hitchcock forces made a comparatively light fight for Ralph ' Clark, their candidate, believing that Morehead would win, although he conducted his fight as an inde pendent, without backing of either Hitchcock or Bryan machines.

People who contemplate visiting Chicago during republican convention week, but who are fearful they will not find hotel accommodations, may banish that fear.x fori the city is devising plans to care for everybody. Yes terday's" plan to erect a great citypi tents in Grant park, was over shadowed today when it was sug gested that the immense municipal pier be transformed into a hotel fr the. emergency." Twenty thousand people could be accommodated nicely on the great pier, and this would not infringe upon the space now occupied by restlhirants, as sembly halls and other features of the enormous recreation pier. During the training of soldiers for the army the United States gov ernment made use of a portion of the pier 'with remarkable success. Three regiments of men slept, ate and drilled in the enormous struc ture and hardly filled one corner of it.- ' . . Visitors would undoubtedly pre fer a room out in the lake to the best any hotel could offer. The pier extends almost a mile into the lake. A street car 'line runs from the , shore line almost the entire length of the pier and cab compan ies operate throughout its length. Cots could be placed inside and outside over the three stories of the building for a distance of practically three-quarters, of a mile, giving some idea of how many people could find sleeping accommodations" there.
