Fortunos of Dolliver. The Dolliver movement expericnend varying fortunes Joday. Early in the day it was reported that the White House favored an lowan either Dolliver Dolli-ver or Governor Cummins which sent tho Dolliver stock up with a bound. But this was offset by tho action of the Ohio managers, who are supposed to reflect Secretary Taft 's wishes, informally infor-mally declaring" the Taft forces are scrupulously avoiding 'the support of aiiv viee-presidenf.ial candidate. Moreover, Chairman Perkins of tho Towa delegation, and Congressman Hepburn Hep-burn or' Towa, called on ex Governor "Herrick. chairman of the Ohio delega tion, and told him positively that Dolliver Dolli-ver could not and would not be a candidate. can-didate. This brought tho Dolliver stock down again, and tonight it stands at tho same level as yesterdaj'. The movement for Sherman or some Now York man is similarly checked by tho decision by the--Stato not to prr-i prr-i sent a candidate for second place until Governor Hughes's name is eliminated for first place, either by the ballots or by his withdrawal. Congressman Herbert Parsons of New York, in a telegram sent to tho Govcrnor today, sought to draw his attention to tho opportuneness of a withdrawal. Governor Hughes, in his roplv, Haw no exigency at present which calls for his retirement. "Uncle Joo" Is There. Speaker Cannon remained in Chicago all dav. and, although keopiug away from the noisy centers of convention enthusiasm, en-thusiasm, took a most active part in the conferences on the platform. His unexpected unex-pected advent here last night for tho express purposo of having a voice in the document which may shape future legislation legis-lation has led to renewed consideration of some of tho details of the planks, no-tabfy no-tabfy those on injunction and on trusts'. Tho speaker was closeted with Senator Hopkins, prospective chairman of the platform committee, for over an hour today, and then Mr. Hopkins was closeted closet-ed with Wade Fllis, custodian of the platform, and Senator Long of Kansas, and Frank 13. Kellogg of .Minnesota, the only onea to whom copies have Deon intrusted. in-trusted. Mr. Cannon's friends believe the injunction and trust planks will be modified, if not eliminated, but. tho custodian cus-todian of the draft has given no evidence evi-dence of making any notable changes. The fcaturo of tho trust plank which is said to have attracted the speaker's solicitude so-licitude is one which inferential I y would exempt certain organizations, including labor and fanning organizations, from the operations of the law. although such exemptions in a gcncrnl law have been said to be pronounced unconstitutional by tho Supreme court of Illinois sonic fifteen years ago. Tho n'amo of ex-Governor llerrick of Ohio is the latest ono to be brought forth for chairman of tho National committee to manage the coming campaign. cam-paign. It hns been received with much favor, owing to Governor llorrick's close relations with Sccrctarj' Taft. However, it is understood that the National Na-tional committee will defer tho solection of a chairman until thero is opportunity to confer in pcraoii with tho nominee. PRINCIPAL FIGHT TO BE OVER PLATFORM CHICAGO. Juno 15. The presenco of Speaker Cannon in Chicago in tho vortex of tho conflict over the presidency presi-dency aud the platform continued to oxcitc groat interest today. The speaker speak-er rental nod at tho Union League club, where he was joined by Senator Hopkins Hop-kins of Illinois, who is to be chairman of the re.solutioriH committee. The conference con-ference lasted more than an hour. There was no doubt but that Iho platform was the subject of this conference, con-ference, and particularly the anti-iu-junction plank, although it further developed de-veloped today that tho proposed trust plank embodied certain features which wcro attracting close attention from tho speaker. When tho conference closod Senator Hopkins came forth with his usual expansive smilo and a large supply of optimism. " Everything is going to bo all right,1' "said the Senator. "The talk of a bitter fight is going too far. entirely en-tirely too far. No. everything will be satisfactorily adjusted aud thcro will be no trouble." Uncortaln Rumors. The Senator departed in the direction of the Auditorium nnnox. Jt was understood un-derstood that Mr. Hopkins and I'-Uis would go over tho situation in the light of Speaker Cannon's objections. A. abort time after the Cannon-Hopkins j .

This could not bo verified and is open to considerable do- "bate in view of the firm attitude thus far shown by tho Taft olcmeut as (o maintaining tho platform as drafted without material change. Mr. Cannon continued to receive Congressional Con-gressional leaders and other friends at ' tho Union League club. Ho had ex pected to return to Danville after seeing see-ing Senator Hopkins, but Ii is departuro is now indefinite and ho will at least roniain through the day The .speaker's intimates wore less optimistic than Senator Sen-ator Hopkins had boon, but thoy unite in saying that there was no grounds for the statement that tho speaker was hero prepared to inako a fight against the platform. It was, however, agreed that the snoalcor had decided viows on the anti-injunction plank. I TEMPORARY OFFICERS ALL AGREED UPON C11JCAGO. June IS.

Tho feature of .the Pennsylvania caucus was tho adop- ;tion of a resolution which will bo prc-sonted prc-sonted to tho platform committee, favoring fa-voring a change in representation to tho , National committee on a basis of one s" delegate for every 10,000 votes for tho candidate for President in tho last elec-' elec-' tion.

With tho exception of two delegates from one district, tho delegation is strongly for Secretary Taft and it was desired bv the friends of tho .War Secretary that an out-and-out Taft jnan should bo on tho resolutions committee, com-mittee, which is intrusted with the important im-portant work of preparing tho party platform. As tho Taft representative, Dr. Dallas Boudeinan, of Kalamazoo, was placed in nomination. Fordney Wins Out. Opposed to- him was Representative Joseph W. Fordney, of Saginaw, tho original Caunon man in Michigan, and 1 pno ot the first members of tho lower house of Congress io suggest the speaker's speak-er's name for the Presidency. Air. lordncv is instructed for Canno'n. Thero was a fchavp discussion for half an hour or more and then a vote was taken Mr Fordney winning out by 13 to 11 votes. Ono blank ballot and one marred were thrown out The Taft, delegates did not take the deteat of their man too seriously ser-iously and after the caucus declared that the election of Mr. Fordnov was in no sense tho result of anv feeling, but was due in large degree to Mr. Ford-ncy's Ford-ncy's popularity among the delegation. The fact, howovor, that Mr. Fordney is so close to Speaker Cannon and f.hat the Latter is on tho ground fighting against the adoption or an anti-injunction nlank in tho platform, makes his selection io the committee on credentials creden-tials a strengthening of tho Cannon position po-sition m tho platform struggle that is looming so largo on tho horizon. New Jersey's Action. Tho New Jersey delegation held its caucus and unanimously placed the btato squarely on record as opposed to any mention of tho courts in the platform plat-form or any tinkering with the tarirf. Iho urst resolution adopted by tho caucus protested vigorously against an anti-iniunction plank and declared thero should bo no mention of the courts in uio party's pronouncement to the people, peo-ple, j. he second resolution declared it , to bo the unanimous souse of the New .

It was stated also that if tho three planks failed to roceivo tho support of the committee on resolutions, Representative Represen-tative H. A. Cooper, tho member from Wisconsin on tho" committee, would carry the resolutions into the convention conven-tion on a minority report. The Wisconsin Wiscon-sin men wore very determined in their attitude on the La Follctte planks. Senator Reed Smoot arrived today from Salt Lake City with a number of Utah delegates, including Mrs. Lucy A. Clark, a woman alternate. The delegates dele-gates held their caucus while on tho way to Chicago. The proposition of the Wisconsin dcle-ation dcle-ation bearing on National policy and political po-litical methods bids fair to take up some of the spare timo of tho convention. Tariff planks were being hewn out this evening to suit Senator La Falletto's ideas or au immediate suspension of duties du-ties on articles controlled or manufactured manufac-tured by trusts in restraint of trade: for a tariff commission; for phj'sical examination of railroads, and for tho election of Senators by tho pooplc. Those planks will lie offorcd to tho committee l)y Mr. Cooper. Wisconsin will also oppose an- attempt at-tempt to interrupt a complete call of the states' vote for President. In former for-mer years there have been several conventions con-ventions when the call was stopped to permit stales to change their vote to the leading candidate. It is claimed that this often caused confusion so that, some of the states well down on tho list wore not recorded. U. Locko, tho Wisconsin member of the committee on rules, will stale his position clearly at tho meeting of the convention and will ask that the usual procedure be maintained .'ind Wisconsin Wis-consin bo permitted to throw its twonly-six twonly-six votes to La Folletto without chance of interference, SMOOT HOLDS UTAH DELEGATES IN HAND Spocfal to Tho Tribune. CHICAGO, June 15. The. Utah delegation dele-gation held a meeting in Senator Smoot's room at the Grand Pacific tonight. to-night. All the delegates except Ed Loose woro present, and three of the alternates, al-ternates, Mrs. Lucy A. Clark, of Brig-ham Brig-ham City; John C! McClain and P. D. Riehartls. Lots wero cast to settle which of the alternates should sit in tho convention as proxy for Loose, and Mrs. Clark was chosen. Tho members of tho various committees had been selected before the delegation left Utah. Smoot assigned 'himself the choice place. Tho convention tickets wero distributed at the meeting toda'. The sentiment of tho delegation appears ap-pears to be for John Hays Hammond for Vice President. Sutherland announced an-nounced beforo leaving Utah that tho delegation would vote for Hammond, but Smoot gavo orders after reaching Chicago that the delegates line up for Fairbanks, and it looks as if Sutherland Suther-land had acaiu lost out. Sutherland and Smoot are not stopping at the same hotel. ho-tel. Tho feeling between them is not of the best,, because of Smoot's manner of distributing convention favors. BORAH REBUKES THE THIRD TERM ADVOCATES Special to Tlio Tribune. CHICAGO, Juno lo. Sonic exci lenient le-nient was created tonight by a report that Senator Borah of Idaho had agreed to present tho namo of Roosevelt for renomination as part of a plan to stampede stam-pede the convention to tho third term idea. The Senator denied it promptly. Ho explained that tho Georgia third term petitioners had asked him to pre- I sent their petition, but he promptlv de-chnod de-chnod lo do it. Ho said that ho told them any friend of the Prosidont who introduced tho petition would do tho President a great injustice.

Congressman Herbert Parsons sent a sharp telegram to Governor Hughes this morning, in which he said tho nomination of Secretary Secre-tary Taft was now practically assured and that Governor Hughes was prac-ticalry prac-ticalry out of tho running. Ho advised tho Govornor thoro was a fooling that ' fjwork should bo accorded tho Vico ' Presidency if a suitablo namo was pro-, pro-, sontod from that State, but so long as , tho delegation was bound by, their obli-. obli-. gatiou to Governor HugliC3 it was impossible im-possible to secure tho recognition to which it was belicvod Now York was entitled. Ho called uttention to tho resolution binding tho delegation to vote, for Govornor Hughes until ho was nominated or withdrew, saying tho delegation dele-gation was powerless to act unless Governor Gov-ernor Hughos withdrew. This was followed by a tolegram from tho delogatc-at-largo, Frederick R. Hazard, ot Syracuse, who was named ns a dolcgalo upon Governor Hughes's suggestion. sug-gestion. Mr. Hazard advised tho Governor Gov-ernor that oithcr Taft or Hoosevolt would bo nominated for tlio Presidency and that tho New York delegation could probablv unite on ex-Mayor Seth Low for tho Vico Presidcnc3' if free to act.

Tho Vice Presidential Presi-dential tangle has developed factional feeling in Indiana and Iowa. Thosit-uatiou Thosit-uatiou in tho two states is not identical, but in both Indiana and Iowa thero aro prominent Republicans on both sides of tho question as to whether the State should bid for tho honor of naming tho running mato for the Presidential nominee, Tho latest phase of the Iowa situation is that thero is danger that somo of Governor Cummins's following may show only a lukewarm interest in the Slato campaign for tho election of B. F. Carroll as Governor and other Republicans Re-publicans for State offices if ononents of Cummins continue to bar tho way lo Senator Dollivor's, nomination for Vice President. Tho ticket headed by Carroll Car-roll was named at Stato primaries, at which Senator Allison defeated Governor Gov-ernor Cummins for a scat in tho Senate, and the State ticket is not regarded as friendly to Cummins. While Governor Cummins and his friends would bo expected ex-pected to support tho choice of the Republicans Re-publicans of tho Stato as expressed at tho primaries, it is believed thorc might bo 60rious defection in tho Ropublican ranks if such a diroct slap at Cummins as that proposed by the Iowa delegation is given. In fact, members of tho Iowa delegation today received from Iowa somo suggestions which wero construed as thinly-veiled hints that trouble may be expocted unless thoro is a. chango of programme on the part of the delegation. delega-tion. Views of Watson. On tho subject of whether Mr. Fairbanks Fair-banks should again go on tho ticket in second place, in viow of tho fact that ho has been and still is a candidate for tho Presidential nomination, Mr. Watson Wat-son said: "Speaking selfishly, T should like to see Mr. Fairbanks nominated for Vico President, if ho cannot get the first place It would help tho Remiblieau Stato ticket. In tho interest of Mr. Fairbanks himself, howover. I must say that I do not think it would bo wisdom for him to again take the Vice Presidential Presi-dential nomination." Tho indication is that, other members of the Ropublican State ticket do not 6ka.ro Mr. Watson's view as to tho po litical wisdom of Mr. Fairbanks' consenting con-senting to the use of his uame for the second place on tho National ticket or that they think the interest of tho Stato ticket is of moro importance. Immediately upon arrival in Chicago of tho nominees of tho Indiana Republican Repub-lican convontiou they began to stir up sentiment in favor of -another term for Mr. Fairbanks as presiding officer of the Senate. Those who have determined to upsot the objections of the Fairbanks managers to the mention of the Vice Presi'dcnt. for renoraiuation include Fremont Fre-mont E. Goodwinc, Republican candidate candi-date for Lieutenant Govornor, and Secretary Sec-retary of Stato Frod Sims, Attorney General James U. Bingham! State Auditor Audi-tor John Bellheiner and Supromo Court Judge D. A. Meyors, all of whom, cx-copt cx-copt Mr. Goodwinc, wero renominated to Stato places themselves. Theso men reached Chicago determined to use tlioir influence to briug about the nomination of Mr. Fairbanks for Vice President. Arguments ndvnnced by candidates for state offices have sharply divided tho Indiana delegation. The chargo is mado freely that Mr. Fairbanks and his political managers havo no right to re-fuso re-fuso to adopt any courso which might strengthen tho Republican party in the Slate.
