Dental situation continues to be the alb
sorbing topic with the leaders, the dele

While many of the conditions have been
defined with clearness, there is far from a
clear and final understanding which all ac-
cept by common consent.
The action of the New York caucus late
Wednesday night in unanimously agree
ING to support Woodruff is not accepted AS
permanently retiring Roosevelt from the
field. Kansas and many other states are
insistent still that he shall be nomina ted
without reference to his own wishes or The
wishes of the New York delegation. In
some quarters it is intimated that this IS
but an adroit stroke on the part of Mr.,
Platt to show that it is from without that
the demand for Roosevelt comes. The
governor himself is cOngratulating Mr..
Woodruff as though he were to be the
nominee. But the general impression pre-
walls that the time has gone by when New
York can deliver the vice presidential NOM
inaton to any one of its choice. More
over. Mr.. Hanna and the administration
forces continues to look to Long or Dolli-
yer and are not deeply impressed with the
