He was asleep when his victories came and learned about them only this morning. “I never know what is supposed to happen,” he said. “This is my first convention. I don’t form conclusions. I just watch.” The Taft losses began yesterday when thé convention credentials committee threw 13 contested Louisiana delegates to Gen. Eisenhower.

CONVENTION HALL, Chicago, July 10—. The little Puerto Rican delegate got the laugh while Ike got the votes. :
The laughs probably will be remembered by the delegates to this Republican National Convention long after the bitter EisenhowerTaft fight is forgotten. , . Marcelino Romani rolled the delegates in the aisles, quite unintentionally. The delegates regretted today that he won't be around for the rest of the convention to set the rib-tickling laughter booming to the cefl-
