Mixed It I is Asserted That New York Makes t the Move So as to Go in Conven I I iton With n Candidate and Yct Hoping Roosevelt Will be Nominated Nomi-nated Hanna Opposes New Yorker II I I I Philadelphia Pa June 1DLeut Gov Timothy L Woodruff will be presented pre-sented to the national convention as I the candidate of New York for Vice President I was decided to do this I after a four hours stormy session of the New York delegation during which i every kind of appeal was made to get I Gov Roosevelt to say that h < would ncrept the nomination The VicePresidential situation Is I Etlll mixed because It is asserted that New York makes this move so as togo to-go into the convention with a candidate candi-date and yet hoping that Roosevelt will be nominated Senator Hanna has I stated that he controls the delegates to such an cxtcat that he can nominate nomi-nate any candidate he pleases and It is not known that he has withdrawn Ills objections to Woodruff The latter lat-ter was as much surprised as anybody over tho result In general the Idea l seems to be prevalent prev-alent that Secretary Long is the most favored candidate with a probability that Roosevelt may still be nominated Jov Roosevelt believes that his wishes have been respected by his own delegation race dele-gation and that he is finally out of the 9 WHAT HANNA SpTS What Is the situation tonight Senator Sen-ator Roosevelt Is I out of It and will not be nominated The question was put to Senator Ilanna and that is tho way he answered it This was afttfr another effort durjng the day to ctam pedo delegates to oosevelt As hefore the effort wan made by Now York and Pennsylvania Platt and Quay through their lieutenants worked all day to make Roosevelt the candidate The stampede which had been checked and turned last night was begun early In the morning I q MANY RUMORS CIRCULATED Many stories were circulated Roosevelt Roose-velt was quoted as saying absolutely that he would accept If nominated lie was also quoted as having had n fhangc of heart and wanted the nomination nom-ination In fact all kinds of rumors were in circulation and the situation remained cloudy all day and did not clear very much in the evening I WILL BE A FIGHT One thing definitely developed Therein There-in to be a fighL The nomination is not to be made without a contest Senator Sen-ator Hanna is doing all lie can to defeat de-feat Roosevelt and has determined to continue on hut Hue to the end Ho is I lining ip the fffcntls 6C > the Administration Adminis-tration against Roosevelt In this he is acting in harmony with the wishes nctn1 of Roosevelt who has urged all delegates I dele-gates visiting him not to vote for him for VlcePrcsidcnt II I IN A PREDICAMENT I I The next serious proposition that confronts Mr Hanna is what ne shall I do as between Long and Dolliver I There Is a popul < setiment for Dolli vcr In tho West that Is hard to overcome over-come Long is regarded as a passive I kind of candidate and while no objection ob-jection is urged against him he does not attract the delegates Rut he i Mr Hannas personal choice and is preferred by the President Dollivers friends have pointed out to Senator Hanna that the Iowa candidate has now got Into the fight so far that he I wants to win to which Hanna replied 1 that defeat would not injure Dolliver He has already acquired a great deal 1 of prominence says Senator Hanna and he will not be injured if he should wi bo defeated by a candidate like Secretary Secre-tary Long ROOSEVELTS OPPONENTS DIVIDED DI-VIDED In malting the fight against Roosevelt Roose-velt Senator Hanna finds the opponents oppon-ents of Roosevelt divided some for Long and somofor Dolliver The ipjcs lion of transferring the vote from one t1U to the other without nominating the man they wish Is the dilllcult problem I If we cannot do it then we have not got control the convention said Senator JIanrn I the friends of the President rannot agree upon a candl I dalo nnd by their difference cause the nomination of a man that Is not wanted want-ed and does nut want th place they wi have to take the responsibility for I WONT VOTE FOR LONG The Senator did not believe that thoro would be a loss of more than 1 alth6ugl Dolliver men In few voles Dollvcr the West declare that they will not vote for Long and there seems to be a large number of Eastern men who n aie now for Long who say they prefer ac pre-fer Roosevelt to Dolliver This Is ono of the chances that Senator Hanna Is wilting to take in the fight he is making ma-king kingWANNAPLATT CONFERENCE The conferences between Senator fie interesting Ilanna nnd Senator Platt were an I teresting feature of the VicePresi dential contest Hanna talked to Platt dental had talked to ODcll and QulbJ talcd the day before He told him that because be-cause Platt heorl did not want Roosevelt In New York was no reason why he Yore thc should attempt to force him upon party In national politics Platt then tried to get an agreement from Hanna to support Odell and this was refused on the ground of bet thls unjust to the other candidates In lug olur Platt asked for time and

President favors Long or the Secretary would not be n candidate but no one seems to have authority to use th Presidents nanie hi a way to make delegates feel obliged to vote for any I particular

1015 oclock in the evening sixty delegates dele-gates being present Coy Roosevelt I was greeted by cheers when he entered I the room Chairman Depew said the meeting I 1 r was called for the purpose of deciding whether the New York Stale delegation 1 i i should act upon the nomination for i VicePresident Coy Roosevelt had I made statement of his position but I II that statement had not stopped the sentiment in his favor He moved that I LieutGov Woodruff be lowed lie I privilege of the floor and this was ordered I WOODRUFF HEARD nEARD Mr Woodruff said I have from tho beginning of the consideration of this I subject occupied one position and that was that if at any time it should be apparent that the convention desired that co Jentondeslrel or demanded the nomination of Gov I Roosevelt he should feel himself obliged to respond favorably I would not be in line against hlm Otherwise I would ask for the support of the dele I gatesot the State of New Yorlc a considerable con-siderable number of whom at one time I and another have told me that they would give me their support I thank them I find from all J have heard I since I have been here that the delegation dele-gation want Gov Roosevelt nominated 1 for VicePresident I believe that avery a-very large majority not only n very I large majority but practically all of I the members of this delegation dcslro I It Having no preference for any other f man it docs seem to me lmposslblcthat i he could resist such a demand For j that reason I have not asked any member to support my candidacy NEW BATTLEGROUND I I seems to mo that the time has now arrived when it should be determined deter-mined whether or not Ney York Is to have a candidate Gov Roosevelt or somebody else because I believe it necessary to the success of the Republican Repub-lican party as far as the Republican party Is concerned We ought to have ihe VicePresidential nomination pur I State will be the battleground in the campaign I Gov Roosevelt or some other man from New York State Is not nominated by the convention our success I suc-cess will certainly be Imperiled The conditions have been such during the past few days that It docs seem to me that this delegation should settle the matter among themselves The Governor Gov-ernor himself being a delegate can argue his own case I ROOSEVELTS ADDRESS Gov Roosevelt spoke next lie said I Gentlemen and Fellow Delegates After listening to the IslenlnS lheeoual generous and dlgnlllcd statement of the Lieu tenantGovernor It is i due to him that I should say one word as to my position posi-tion I is j simply to ask l you to take the words I have utteied at their face value H you dont think I mean them you dont believe In me for YlqePrcsI j denL or anything else But If you think 1 mean them then I ask you to stand with me After a long consultation with my men not a few of whom are present here tonight I definitely took the position that I did not wish to be nominated for VIccPresIdent that if the Republican party chose to re nominate me for Governor I should be I pleased to accept I took that position not In the least from regard to my own predilections but in the belief that there I I could no the lest service the best work because I have never felt that I had a right to say that If nominated I should refuse Certain men have seemed to doubt me as to what I mean to say REPEATS FORMER STATEMENT Now gentlemen I want to repeat to you the last sentence word for word of the statement 1 made yesterday The Governor then said with emphasis I earnestly ask that every friend of mine in the convention will respect my I wishes and my judgment In the matter and I ask It now of you my fellow I delegates of you my friends who cannot can-not be any more Jealous than I am of the grand name of the party and the partys success in New York WOODRUFF THEIR MAN Mr Waldo of Kings urged lie delegation dele-gation to take Gov Roosevelt at his word He urged that the delegation agree upon a candidate but they certainly cer-tainly could not decide upon Gov Roosevelt lib said when the Governor had earnestly requested them not to support him There was then but one candidate before the delegation Mr Waldo said who had any considerable support and that was LieutGov Woodruff and the whole delegation had supported him as Gov Roosevelt was not a candidate He closed by moving that LleuUGov Woodruff bo made the choice ot the delegation for I VicePresident James R Howe seconded sec-onded the nomination WOODRUFF FOR ROOSEVELT LleutGov Woodruff then said If I thought I could be nominated by this convention I certainly would encourage thp sentiment which my friend from Brooklyn has pressed But there is an uncertainty an to whether 1 can bf nominated even If presented by the State There IH not a man in the room whn inri not know that Gov Roosevelt can be nominated antI that he would be satisfactory to every man In the I convention There may be those who for reasons best known to themselves nut not to me to seek to nominate sQmeone else No one else could he nominated who would be near as strong i strollUnder these circumstances It does seem to me that Gay Roosevelt ought to be the selection of New York State not necessarily that the delegation should present his name but that he should take the nomination Unless this delegation decides upon some one the nomination will go elsewhere a State where the Republican majority 100000 KNEV GOVERNOR WAS SINCERE I Turning tp Cloy Roosevelt he said I know that you are absolutely sincere sin-cere and I know that you desire the gubernatorial nomination but there Is no question that the feeling ariiong the delegates here makes your nomination absolutely Inevitable As long as there Is any possibility of accepting the nomination nomi-nation it Is right that you should receive It by acclamation Mr Mitchell declared that there was only one than who could strengthen the ticket and that was Roosevelt hI 1 ve do not present him he said let us present no other Applause I GREENES OPINION Gen Francis Groene said I think it would be a serious mistake to nominate I nomi-nate Oov Roosevelt for VIccPresIdcnt a serious mistake for the party at I large for tho party In New York and I for Gov Roosevelt himself In my I humble Judgment he Is I tlu strongest man In the Slate for the otllce of Governor i Gov-ernor It Is very doubtful If any one else l can be elected Governor I think If he Is nut the candidate for Governor we will lot the State of New York and thorftby the Kuilou I agree
