DID NOT ENDORSE WOODRUFF.
Republicans of Florida Deny a Cir
culated Report.

Tallahassee Fla, February 15-(Spe-
cial)-The statement which has been
Printed i'm many of the newspapers of the
country to the effect that the republicans
OF Florida. in their .ecent state and CON
eressional conventions. had indorsed Lieu
tcrant Governor Timothy L.. Woodruff, of
New York, for the vice presidential nom
nation on the republican national ticket,
Is erroneous and 'cadinS republicans OF
the state are sore over its repeated publ
cation.
All the republican conventions warmly
lndorscd Prcsi lent Mex inleyS admins
trauon. and instructed the Florida dele
gates to the national republican conven-
ton to vote for the presidents nominal
ton, bat nc formal action whatever was
taken regarding the second place on the
national ticket. There was made, how
ever. a very definite tacit agreement mat
in the Philadelphia convention the Florida
delegates should vote for whoever the
New York delegation offered for the vice
presidential nomination.
That IS the exact status of the matter.
Individual Florida republicans doubtless
have tEeir preference as 60 who Mr.. Nc
Kinley's running mate should be- but If
the New ! ork people present the name OF
either Roosevelt. Root. Woodruff or Bliss
that man will get the Florida votes. a
leading Florida republican said today that
1t was appreciated that Florida IS not
going To give the national republican tick
81 any electoral votes this year, hence 1t
would bc rather out of place for her dele
gates 10 80 TO Philadelphia bound 10 any
one man for second pace on the ticket
but Flcrlda republicans do believe that
New York should III that place, and it
was thought best t. tacitv instruct the
delegates TO sall in line under New York's
lead.
Tie democratic state executive commit
tee has not Yet neld Il meeting to deter
mine the time and place for holding the
Ctmocratic state convention, which will
select delegates to The national conVeu-
ton, and name g fun Jacket OF state Off
Gers. II is probable that such meeting IF
the executive committee viii rot be called
by Chairman w. a. Rawls until the dem
OcrauC national committee fixes the time
for holCiug thu national convention. The
Florida state democratic convention viii
then lie called To- meet two or three weeks
before the national convention is to meet.
There is no Specisl reason or demand fur
an early state convention.
