CHICACO NAMED AS
CONVENTION CITY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 14.—
The first reports sent out this morn
ing stated that the Republican Na
tional Committee now in session
here had decided to hold their con
vention in St. Louis on June 7. A
Press Association telegram was
wired to its subscribers all over the
country to this effect.
This afternoon, however, it is of
ficially announced Chicago is chosen
for the convention of the Republi
can party. They further state that
it will be held June 7.
There will be no recommendation
to the states or territories as to
how they should choose their dele
gates.
The early date set for the conven
tion comes quite unexpectedly as it
was believed that It would be at
least after the Democratic conven
tion.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 1* —
None of the members of the Re
publican National Committee give
any Indication that they have any
choice in the matter of their candi
date for President to be nominated
in Chicago. It is held here that a
candidate will be selected from the
names of Root, Taft, Roosevelt,
Penrose, Cummins, Mann, Hughes
' and several others.
The. probability, that Roosevelt
will be the nominee is growing
greater, and there seems to be a re
alization of this fact even among
stronger republicans. Roosevelt
himself positively refuses to show
his hand.
Senator Borah is being strongly
boosted today, a fact may have
some significance.
