next Thursday when R. B, Howell,
of Omaha, national Republican
elect from Nebraska, will
demand to be seated as the successor
Victor acting chairman
or the national Republican committee,
prior to the hearing of the contests
by that body.
The Roosevelt managers are
pared to make a determined light to
have Mr. Howell seated and if they
succeed they will demand that
den D. Whiting of New Jersey,
K. of Missouri, other
national elect, chosen
either by direct primary or state con-
be seated.
By this means they may succeed in
controlling the national committee
and deciding whether Senator Elihu

mended as temporary chairman of the
convention.
Harry S. New, chairman of the sub-

convention, declined to discuss the
plans of the Roosevelt leaders, but
Intimated that he believed the nation-
committee would not seat Mr. How-
