ager Arrive.
Chicago, May 31,.-In open session
today the Republican national commit
tee began by deciding contests from
various state delegations to the con
vention, .but made only slow progress.
'In what chairman Hays character
ized as "judicial rather than political
decisions" the committee seated regu
larly reported delegates from Arkan
sas and Alabama; postponed the con
test over the district of Columbia till
Ui tomorrow and after giving an ex
tended hearing to a three cornered
contest from Florida, adjourned over
night without making a decision.
At today's rate of progress, Chair
man Hays estimated that the contest
would not be cleared up -before Fri
day, Today's decisions will not be
factors in the strength of any candi
(late in the convention, and ranged
princically about the qluestions oi reg
ularity, although the race issue fre
quently was injected.
In all decisions today the committee
was guided on questions of law and
precedent. by Charles B. Warren, of
Detroit, national committeeman from
Michigan, who was acting at the re
quest of Chairman Hays as the com
mittee attorney. At the conclusion
of each contest Mr. Warren issued a
statement of the reasons u11pon whici
the cor mitt ce was acting. Chairman
llays said that -was a part of his plan
of laying the committee work before
the country.
Only seven of the one hundred and
thirty seven contests were decided in
the first day's work.
in the .Alabama contest the regu
larly rel)ported delegates were seated
in the absence of the contestants. Sev
en Iegularly reported delegates from
Arkansas were seated, the negro con
testants being dismi;ssed. One dele
gate instructed for Governor Lowden
and two reported favorable to him
were among those given seats.
Taking up tle contests alphabeti
cally the committee snuck a snag in
the Florida contest whore three sqp
arate sets of delegates, one each r'e
ported favorable to ',Majbr General
Wood, Governor Lowden and Senator
Jolinson, reslPectively, were contest
ing. For more than three hours the
committee argued over complicated
technical points of the Florida case
and finally referred it overnight to a
sub-committee of three for recoi
mendation tomorrow. The three con
mitteemen were Warren of 'lichigan;
DuPont, of Delaware, and Parsons of
New York.
Besides the decision on the Florida
case the committee tomorrow will
take til the hard-fought controversy
between the Wood and Lowden forces
in Georgia and that between three
separate sets of delegates from the
District of Columbia.
Wood chieftains began assembling
at main headqiuarters here today itIh
