ST, LOUIS, June 12-President WUson will be in absolute control of the national convention of his party, which wilt hold its first session Wednesday. During the week thefe will undoubtedly be manifestations here and there of opposition to some features of the program that has been arranged, but In the end, one may rest assured, things will be done as the President would have them done He will of course, be nominated by acclamation though there Is some prospect of one delegate from the state of Illinois refusing . to vote for him. But there will not be a roll call and if there should be a lone vote against the nomination It would not be resorded Several men are seeking to get a little advertising out of the nomination for the vice-presidency, but In all probability Thomas It Marshall, of Indiana. will be renominated by acclama-

tion

The men who will control the deliberations of the convention were making sure today that there should be nothing but harmony. They were still somewhat doubtful as to what William J Bryan had In the back of his head, and they will not know this delinltely until Bryan arrives her*. He Is due here tomorrow morning It la well Known, of ooui-se that Mr Bryan is not In sympathy with the determination of the party to take a pro-* noupced stand In favor of leaaonable preparedness for national defense but some of the, Nebraskan's friends were authority for tne statement today that he had no intention of seriously attempting to

muddy the waters.

Will Acquiesce Quietly.

These friends believe he will make his fight before the resolutions committee Wednesday night, probably, and will then Acquiesce quietly in the decision of that (Jommlttee, and later In the decision of the convention In his behalf the emphatic statement Is made that unless he changes hts mind he will give lo>al sup-

port to President Wilaon

Mr. Bryan Is not a delegate to the convention, having failed of election In Nebraska A proxy that would entitle him to A seat In the convention as an alternate Is at his disposal, but no one on the ground knows whether he will accept He has a press ticket to the convention

HIS

VICE-PRE8IDENTAL BOOM THE ONLY REAL ONE.

TAGGART GIVES HIS VIEWS

I By Ellis "M.arles, Staff Correnpondent of

The Indianapolis News)

ST LOUIS, June 12—Although there are several vice-presidential booms here to attract the attention of the national convention the fact is that all except the boom of Vice-President Thomas R Marshall of Indiana, are nothing more than boomlets The best judgment of the leaders here is that the renomination of Marshall will be made on the first ballot and that it will be practically by an unanimous vote The Illinois delegates are campaigning for Roger Sullivan of Chi cago, for the nomination for Vice-Presl dent, and to hear them talk one might thlnK they meant to do some serious work with It However, It seems to be well understood that even the strongest Sullivan bCfOStera do not expect him to land the nomination Sullivan himself is not expecting the plum to fall in his hat Jollying Sullivan, Taggart Says. When the time comes to make the nomY ination for Vice-President it is believetl that Sullivan will clear the decks and get out of the way for Marshall “Rogei* understands the situation,” said Senator Thomas Taggart today These fellows aie jollying him When the show^down comes Roger will get out of the way Of

press section Just as he did at the Chi cage convention If he does not attain an oflh tal status in the convention under the rule* that will be adopted, he will not address it unless the delegates by a <rote •tell InvU* him to do so The men in control said today that If he should wish to give the convention his views the privlI«fe would undoubtedly be accorded him

To Harmonize Differences.

It will be the purpose of the committee on reeolutlons to harmonize whatever differences of opinion that may develop with respect to the party’s declaration of principle* There 1* a demand from a small coterie of Democrats for a declaration gainst the export of munitions of war The resolutions committee will, of course, reject this proposal, and the few traneMlssourl river delegates who would like to see thi* plank incorporated in the platform will be willing to abide by the decision of the resolutions committee, so it

was said today.

The party leaders are taking care that the committee on resolutions is made up of men who will see to It that nothing { toe* into the platform that would in the e»et t«*id to discredit the President The important planks of the platform have not yet arrived here from Washington They are to he brought by Newton D Baker, secretary of war, who Is to come in tomorrow morning It is settled that Senator William J Stone, of Mi**o»rl. chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, will be the chairman of the committee Some significance might be attached to the fact that Senator Stone has not at all times been m sympathy with President Wilson’s handling of foreign affairs, but it can be said authoritatively that the senator intends to aurrender whatever individual views he may entertain at this time in the interest of harmonv Somewhat Troubleeome. Every effort is being made to stage a convention that will attract the atten^on of th* country Since there Is pot to be a contest over either of the nolninatlohB, and in view of the fact that the platform witi not provoke a gieat deal of discussion after It has been presented to the convention, this task is proving to be a somewhat troublesome proposition It is proposed to caiTv the convention over Into Saturday In all S robability the two nominations will be slaved until Satuidav morning In all meantime the convention will do nvuch in the oratorical line Arrangements are being made for the most cunvincina apeaker present from each state to second the ■nomination of President WUson In an address praising the work of the Democratic President and the last two Demo-

cratic congresses

It looks now as if the entire dav of Friday will be given up to this “feast of oratory ** The convention at its first session on YNedneadav will organize, hear the address of the temporary chairman, and on Thursday will dispose of the Platform The national committee has decided that thero mav* be several speeches on the platform if the delegates insist on prais tng the work of the administration prior to the formal presentation of Mr Wilson’s name to the convention Forffoee a Real Campaign. The Democratic leaders reojiie that their party has got to put its best foot forward In this convention The nomination of Charles E Hughes has not dismayed them, but they do realize that the autumn is to bring on a real campaign for th* presidency In the quiet confer■ences ot the leaders last night and again today th vre was much talk to the effect that It is all-important that no mistakes be made here this week A good deal of thoughtful consideration hsa Men given to the posaiblUty of making some sort of overture to the ProgreaMvea who have been left stranded by the blowup of their party, or rather by ths abandonment of the party by the men who had XcA It Whether anything can be put In the platform in the way of a bW to the so-called ‘conscience" Progressives to get in behind Woodrow Wilson as a better representative of the Progreaaive political thought of the country than Charles E Hughes, was a question that was being seriously discussed today The tendency of thought was against an open bid for this vote; the drift of the discussion was In ths direction of simply making a platform that would stand as an Invitation to ths Progressives to prefer Wilton to Hughea A* 18 always tha case wtien a President is up for renominatlop his administration Is well represented at t.he convention The officeholders of both high and low degree ore here in large force The caWnet was represented today bv Josephus Darnels, secretary of the navy, and Albert b Burleson, postmaster-gen-eral Aa already announced. Secretary of War Baker will be here tomorrow, and at least three other members of the cabinet have engaged reservations Dudlev leld Malone, collector of the port of New

The candldacv of Elliott W Major, former Governor of Missouri, has not taken hpid It is regarded as a joke P'ormor Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, is another whose name has been mentioned In connection with the nomination for VicePresident, and there has been talk also of Governor J T. Moorehead, of Nebraska Marshall Will Not Attend. One of the interesting features of the vice-presidential situation is that Marshall will not be h“re for the convention, nor will he have any personal representative here as far as Is known It was reported that Mark Thistlethwaite, his private secretary, would come heie to look after his interests, but word has been received that Thistlethwaite will not be here ^ It appears that Marshall will follow the same policy that he has always followed and that is that he will not ask for the nomination, but will proceed on the assumption that if the convention wishes him as its candidate it will nominate him without his asking for it or making a campaign for the nomination Marshall has followed this line ever since he entered politics He never sought a nomination in his life However. it is quite certain that there will he plenty of Indiana rooters and good friends from other states who will see to it that Marshall Is renominated bv the conven

Morganthau for Baker. Some of the friends of Marshall were perturbed, this afternoon, when Henry Morganthau, former minister to Turkey, and a close friend of President llson, ai rived from New York and said he oelleved Newton D Baker secretary of war ought to be the nominee for VicePresident However those to whom he expressed this opinion were left to guess for themselves whether Morganthau reflected the view of the administration on the subject The Colorado delekates arrived here to-i dav, and thev called on Roger Sullivan ta Inform him that they favored him for Vice-President. Sullivan thanked them tor their offer, but did not say whether he was a real candidate or not It is understood here that the real reason w*’y the Illinois Democrats are boosting Sullivan is that they hope to popularize him so as to help him land the next nomination for United Slates senator from Illi-

NEW YORK June 12 —Efforts to read significance today Into a consultation j here between Charles Evans Hughes, the I Republican presidential candidate and | George W Wlckersham as the mediator ^ —so rumor went—in plans to gain the | support of Theodore Roosevelt for the. Republican candidate were met by de-1 nlal from Mr W Ickersham that his visit | had anv significance at ail 1 While Mr Wlckersham s conference, with the candidate which was held soon j after Mr Hughes s arrival heie from Washington deeply Interested politicians I nothing was permitted to leak out as to tho nature of their discussion Mr Wlckersham Insisted that his visit was purely a personal one and had nothing to do

with politics

No Plan for Seeing Roosevelt.

I have no expectation of seeing Colonel Roosevelt and no mission to see him, said Mr W ickersham after ernerg ing from a thirty five minute talk with Mr Hughes You entirely mistake the object of my visit I have had no politi cal relations with Mr Hughes on this occasion I am heartily and enthusias tically supporting him of course I think that the Progressives will give him their support and 1 do not expect Colonel Roosevelt to head a thiid ticket But that is only guesswork on my part ” Others of many who called on Mr Hughes included Henry Y\ Taft brother of the former President United States Senator H F Lippitt of Rhode Island, and William Carv Sanger, former assistant secretary of war under Roosevelt

Whitney Meet* Hughes.

The first organized political move in the furtherance of the campaign for the election of Mr Hughes was announced todav on his arrival here from W'^ashmgton It was the revival of the Hughes alliance, an organization of Republicans Democrats and independent voters, which came into existence during the second campaign of Mr Hughes for Governor of New York in 11108. The announcement was made by Travis H Whitney public service cefrnmissioner, one of the first to meet Mr Hughes on his arrival on an early morn-

ing train

Mr Whitney accompanied the presidential candidate to the Hotel Astor, where Mr Hughes established his head quarters. He said that the same men Who were identified with the Hughes alliance had decided to gel together to work In New York state for the election of the candidate, probably under the name of

the Hughes Nonpartisan LeagueWill Provide Headquarters.

The organization, he said, would establish headquarters here and co-operate with the regular Republican organization He added that his organization plan, ed to provide Mr Hughes with personal headquarters for his visits to New York Mr Hughes came here today for his first campaign conference He arrived from Washington at 7 05 a. m, by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and ferry to West Twenty-third street, and went Im-

mediately to the Hotel Astor

Although the police department had been notified of the Republican candidate 8 coming, and had sent detectives to meet his train, his arrival here at an early hour was unexpected He was met at the ferry station by Mr Whltnev and William R Wlllcox, a New York attorney and former member of the nubile

set vice commission

Many of the leaders who were expected to talk with Mr Hughes during his stay in New York had not returned from Chicago early today Mr Hughes did not SUV how long he Intended to stav here. Mr Hughes’ secretary. Lawrence H Green, accompanied him from Washington. and his first caller after he reached his hotel was Robert Fuller who was his secretary when he was Governor of New

York

One of the questions before Mr Hughes and his friends today was the location of summer headquarters
