Platt emmissaries argued that. TO turn
his back on the manifest wish OF the
republicans Of the country. would be
to forfeit his right to the future support

All day long Hanna's efforts have
been directed to the rebuilding Of
booms wrecked yesterday in Roose-
velt's tornado. All favorite sons have
been encouraged to remain in the race,
and not without some success. The

days away, The delegates are all de-
sirous Of carrying out the presid .nt's
wishes and II the intlmation once be-

popular choice would be abandoned.
Platt very shrewdly decided that the
New York delegation should not formal
ly indorse Roosevelt. It Is said that
Roosevelt insisted upon this. Then. If
he were nominated. 1t would be said
that the nomination was forced upon
him. But while the New York dele
cation refrained from endorsing Roose-
welt. Platt is said 10 have passed the
word TO Quay and the Pennsylvania
delegation to continue to fan the
flames.
The stampede for Roosevelt was
checked and turned. and that which
seemed 50 certain last night seems
well nigh impossfble tonight. Roose-
welt, himself. has close personal friends
working among the delegates assuring
them that the nomination was not de-
sired by him; Senator Hanna and his
lieutenants, all working together. are
responsible for this result. 1t has been
day Of hard work. of earnest en-
deavor. and tonight tine men most in
terested believe that the Roosevelt
boom has finally been laid to rest.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1S.- Five
miles of clubs. mounted, on foot, by
coaches, floats and in carriages. inter
spersed with music. red fire and a
cake-walk is the shortest way Of de-
scribing the turnout Of political clubs
tonight. The police had prepared for a
demonstration by roping in Broad
street early in the forenoon. An anus
ing feature of the parade. and. by the
way, an innovation. was an interlarded
cake-walk in the column. The charac-
ters were colored men, women and
children attired in costumes made more
