Cidcago. June 8—The Itepuh'.ican
National Convention began its ses

hot weather condition*. The conven
tion was coiled to order by Chairman
Will llr.yes of the Itepublioan National
Committee shortly after eleven o'clock.
The Colesium was crowded to capacity
nt the opening hour, with all of 13.000
people occupying the seating space
and other points of vantage.
Hayes opened the convention with
a brief speech in which he sail: "The
republican party has met in this free
and open convention to accept from
the American people a mandate for the
United States government. Four
years ago the normal republican ma
jority was 600,000 minus that of two
years ago. in which it was one mill on
two hundred thousand plus. Today I
honestly believe it is double that num
ber and in November it should exceed
three million. In spirit I report
more than progress: I import fulfill
ment . The greater part of the unjon

tinue so. There will be no 'bolt' from

shaking his flngor. "The chief mag
Istrate must understand that it is his
duty to abide by the nation's laws,”1
said lv)dge. and the dele.'ate*, evi
dently taking it as a thrust at the
president, broke into applause. The
words made no appeal to the galleries,
however, and the spectators remained
I»dgc's next thrust at the president
was his characterization of the execu
tive as “a democratic free trader of
Socialistic tendencies." This brought.
a big laugh from the crowd.
The shadow of McAdoo is hanging
darkly over the republican convention1
and many leading men among the
delegates have made up their minds
he will be nominated by the demo
crats at Sam Francisco. They also
say them* is no man now before the
convention at Chicago who can cer
tainly defeat him. “Is Wood such a
man? Is l»wden: is Johnson?" Is
being asked with Increasing emphasis.
The tendency in many places is to an
swer these questions In the negative.
No effort 1s yet being made to pick
out a compromise candidate. This
will probably come later on as the
present 1*1 vorites disappear in the
whirl of selection. Leaders admit
that the first task fa to get the favor
ites out of the way before seeking a
'compromise candidate, If that can be
done. It may be a big Job; maybe a
little one. Perhaps It cannot be done
