LOOKS LIKE HAYES WOULD WIN POST

St. Louis, Feb. 11.—Efforts to harmonize members of the republican national committee on a® choice for chairman to be elected tomorrow afternoon apparently had failed tonight. Earlier in the evening, after a day of conferences and electioneering word came forth that John T. Adams, of lowa, present chairman, would, withdraw and that probably his only rival for the chairmanship, Will H. Hays, of Indiana, would do likewise. A few hours later an announcement sponsored by Governor Goodrich, of Indiana; John T. Hart, of Kentucky, field marshal of the Hays forces, and others, stated that Mr. Hays’ name postively would go before the meeting tomorow and- that twenty-eight votes out of a possible fifty-three had been pledged to him. They asserted that there was nothing for Adams to do but withdraw. His Americanism, it was learned, had been subject to an attack by United States Senator Salder; of New York, in the meeting of the executive committee and sentiment, they said, had turned away from him.
