Chicago, May 31,.-In open session
today the Republican national commit
tee began by deciding contests from
various state delegatiouis to the con
vention, .but made only slow progress.
I1n 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 tin
til 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 a)out the qLuestions of reg
ularity, although the race issue fre
qluently was injected.
In all decisions today the committee
was guided oi questions of law and
precedent by Charles B. Warren, of
Detroit, national committeemani from
Michigan, who was acting at the re
quest of Chairman Ilays as the coi
mittee attorney. At the conclusion
of each contest Mr. Warren issued a
statement of the reasons upon wilc
the committee was acting. Chairman
Iliays 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 weeC deelded in
the flirst day's work.
In the Alabama contest the regu
larly reported delegates were seated
in the absence of the contestants. Sev
en regularly reported delegates from
Arkansas were seated, the negro con
testants being iimdismised. One dele
gate instructed for Governor Lowder
and two reported favorable to lin
were among those given seats.
Taking up the contests alphabeti

technical points of the Florida cast
and finally referred it overnight to a
sub-committee of three for recoi
mendation tomorrow. The three com
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 up 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.
