rturAc.o, June t, The great Whit-irmn-llarncs
showdonn on the flection of
a national committeeman Old not ma
tr ilize In the caucus of the New York
devcitlon to.nlght,
Agreeing t postpone the election until
after tho nomination of tho Presidential
candidate, tho delegate organized for
the convention with u fine but superficial
ippe.ir.ince of unanimity. Tho (Jovernor
n.if chosen chairman nnd tho other offi
cers picked without dissent. Chaunccy
Dcpew made hnrmony speech.
The Covcrnor In believed to have a
majority for Hughes for the nomination,
and If co ho has H.irnes and his Tloot
campaign beaten. He also woukl have
had a majority If there had been a test
rote to elect himself chairman nf the
delegation. There again he has
triumphed over Mr. names, who said a
few weeks ngo that the New Yorkers
would never put Mr. Whitman at their
head when they sot to Chicago.
Rut In tho matter of Herbert Par
ion, his candidate for national commit
teeman, th Oovernor found to-day that
he couldn't elect him In to-night's cau
oui. Too many Hughes delegates sided
with too many Hoot delegates In agree
ing with Mr. Harnr that there was no
tene In New Yorkers going Into the con
vciition with their hair rumpled and
their collars torn.
Determined this morning to put the
Pirsons election through to-night, the
Governor and his war board found out
this afternoon In a conference attended
by or.y thirty-seven delegates that they
could not do tt. The Uames crowd
claimed fifty votes for postponing the
demon of national committeemen and
Itemed to have them too.
Governor GItp In.
Fo the Governer acquiesced In the
lotion of postponement "for the sake
of harmony and In order that the na
tional committeeman when elected would
U sure to be acceptable to the candidate
lor President."
Brown Loses Credential.
In their attempt to bowl Mr. Barnes
clear out of the alley the Whitman folks
schemed to-day to deny to Senator E.
R. Ilrown, who was scheduled to head
New York's members of the credentials
commitfve, any place in the organization
of tiie delegation. At the last moment
they relented to the extent of giving
Senator Brown a place on the rules
oommltUo and substituting Congressman
Charles M, Hamilton of Chautauqua for
the committee on credentials. This was
part of the harmony programme.
Fred Tanner, who was to have gone
n the rulis cominttten according to
programme, withdrew to make the new
w arrangement possible.
So the officers elected to-night are:
Cl.alrman of Delegation Clov. Whit
man i unmlttee on Resolutions Senator

ro .-n of the Congress Hotel. Gov. Whlt
tr.v was nominated for chairman by
Frederick C. Tanner and Herbert Par
tons himself moved tho postponement of
th . lection of a national committeeman.
Mr. Karnes, presiding at the start
as national committeeman, turned the
gavel over to the Oovernor and the
caucus proper was ended In a few min
utes. Party Ffcclntr Criati.
Mr tpw, hailed an "our favorite."
eld he had been going to conventions
for fifty-two years and never had seen
a more Important one than this one was
going to be. The party was meeting In
the greatest of crises.
"And the party must meet this crisis
In a way to take our country out of
the miserable position before the world
which It now occupies. We've been
drifting, drifting, without a policy to
make us respected, nor one that would '
protect us In a neighboring nation where
Americans are entitled to our protec
tion. It's the happiest thing In my life
that I am a delegate from New York
at this time,"
Senntor Wadswnrth said the platform
wns going to have strong planks for
military and Industrial preparedness.

JERSEY CALLS FOR
MOOSE ALLIANCE
Requests nn Appointineut of a
Committee to Confer With
Progressives.
UNIT RULE VOTED IKNVX
CutCAqo, June B. New Jersey at Its
caucus this morning took a stand which
may be Important In shaping the events
of the next two days. The delegation
by a unnnlmuns vote recommended to
the Republican National Committee that
the convention appoint n committee to
meet with the Progressives.
Although It was apparent that some
of the New Jersey delegation, Including
Franklin Murphy, were not In cntlro nc
cord with tho purpose of this, yet when
a vote was taken all of them went on
record as approving such a course.
K. C. Brennan of Jersey City offered
the resolution, which provided that a
committee of six delegates he appointed
by the Republican convention t meet
with a similar committee appointed by
the Progressive convention to ascertain
whether or not the two parties could
agree upon a platform nnd a candidate.
The resolution further provided that
a committee of five he named to notify
the Progressive convention that fuch ac
tion had beeh taken and to nsk the
Progrcssies to take similar action.
Mr. Brennan's Resolution was changed
somewhat bs the result of amendment.
As Anally adopted, It called upon New
Jersey's member of the National Com
mittee, ex-(!ov. Franklin Murphy, to pre.
sent this plan to the National Committee
and ask that It be approved.
An attempt to bind the New Jersey
delegation under the unit rule after the
first ballot was defeated by a viva voce
vote. Hamilton Kean of Kllzabetli of.
fered this resolution. It provided that
on the second ballot the delegation
should be caucused and that the de
cision of the majmlty should thereafter
govern on every subsequent ballot.
After this had been overwhelmingly
voted down a resolution was adopted to
the effect that on subsequent ballots the
delegation should be polled for the pur
pose of determining the desire of the
members: In other words, that every
delegate should have tho right to vote
for whom he pleased on any ballot.
There was no lineup of any of the
candidates, but eighteen of the delegates
are certainly and twenty-two are pos
sibly for Hughes. Roosevelt Is credited
with only two votes In the entire dele
gation. David Balrd was named as chair
man of the delegation, Hamilton Kean
bs the resolution member, Newton A. K.
Bugbee ua member of the committee on
credentials and Col. William Barbour s
member of the committee on Vlce-Prcsl-dentlul
nominations.

to-day, for the heavy rain stopped at
dawn and let the sun struggle through.
As a result the military training camp.
which threatened for a while to develop
Into a naval cruise, got under way with
a rush that made up for lost time.
There aro 1,300 pairs of aching feet
under canvas to-night, but their posses
sors are proud as peacocks. They have
done two days work In one, caught up
with the uncompromising schedule set
for tho month's training, and they have
the word of their officers for It. Few
companies there were that on the re
turn from the long, gruelling hours of
drill, dltl not get a word of commenda
tion as pleasing an being "mentioned In
despatches,"
They stnrted out at 7 A. M., as soon
as breakfast had been tucked away.
The company and battalion streets were
still tinkle deep In mud, nnd the drill
lields were little better, so the company
commanders spread their men along
I'nlted States avenue, a State road, as
the only acceptable footing. Until nn
hour before lunch they were Instructed
In th elements of close order drill, the
t-chool of the soldier and the school of
the squad, with only a few letups when
they squatted on the asphalt nnd
omoked pipes nnd cigarettes.
I.ott Their Mooch.
Hut they came back a different lot of
men. They no longer slouched diffi
dently, but strode ahead conlldenlly or
manceiivred In snappy fashion when
their officers barked orders.
The tame thing went on after lunch,
and a short rest. Many of the men
pent their period for relaxation In the
FhortAwlni In Lake Champl.iln, and those
ho did, earned membership) In the Snow
Birds, the Polar Hears, or any of the
r.ther winter swimming nchools for their
hardihood. Champlaln la one degiee
colder than the Arctic Sea at thl time
i'f ear.
This time the Rookies started away with
their Sprlngflolds, bayonets nnd empty
ammunition belts. They were Initiated
Into the Intrlcnclee) of the I'nlted States

According to Capt. Porey. personal

nnd the men are making a strenuous ef
fort to astonish him with their progress

The examinations for physical fltnefs
were completed to-day. Of the 1.300
citizen soldiers only three were rejected

put on probation; men who work In

Of course, some shops profess to offer such opportunities every day, but the point

We would willingly publish the regular prices of theso suits, if it
