Philadelphia, June 19.-Lieutenant
Governor Timothy l.. Woodruff will be
presented to the national convention as
the candidate Of New York for vice
president. 1t was decided to do this
after a four-hours stormy session of
the New York delegation, during Which
every kind of appeal was made to ger
Governor Roosevelt to say that ne
would accept a nomination. The vice
presidential situation is still mixed be-
cause it is asserted that New YORK
makes this move so as to go into the
convention with a candidate ana yet
hoping that Roosevelt will be nomlnat-
ed Senator Hanna has stated that he
controls the delegates to such an eX-
tent that he can nominate any candl-
date he pleases and it is not known that
he has withdrawn his objections to Mr..
Woodruff's candidacy. The latter was
as much surprised as any body over the
result. In general the idea comes to be
prevalent that Secretary Long is the
most favored candidate with proba-
bility that Roosevelt may still be nomi-
mated Governor Roosevelt believes
that his wishes having been respected
by his own delegation that he is final
ly out of the race.
rlooscveIt Out Oi l..
''What is the situation tonight sena-
tor?" Roosevelt is out of it and will
not be nominated" The question was
put to Senator Hanna and that is the
way he answered. This was after an eff
fort during the day to stampede the
delegates to Roosevelt. AS before the
effort was made by New 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. Many stories were crcu-
lated. Roosevelt was quoted as saying
absolutely that he would not accept if
nominated He was also quoted as hav
ing had change of heart and wanted
O nomination. In fact all kinds of ru-
mors were in circulation and the situa-
ton remained cloudy all day and did
not clear very much in the evening.
There WiH be n Fight.
One thing definitely developed. There
Is to be fight. The nomination is not
to be made without a contest Senator
Hanna is doing all he can to defeat
Roosevelt and has determined to contin-
ue on that line to the end. He is lining
up the friends of the administration
against Roosevelt. In this he is acting
in harmony with the wishes of Roose-
welt, who has urged all the delegates
visiting him not to vote for him for
vice president.
Long or DoIgivcr.
The next serious proposal that con-
fronts Mr.. Hanna is what he shall do
as between Long and Dolliver. There is
a popular sentiment for Dolliver in the
west that is hard to overcome. Long is
regarded as a passive kind of candidate,
and while no objection is urged against
him he does not attract the delegates
But he is Mr.. Hanna's personal choice
and is presented by the president. Dol
1ivers friends have pointed out to Sen
ator Hanna that the Iowa candidate
has now got into the fight so far that
he wants to win, to which Hanna re-
piled that defeat would not injure Dolli-
yer He has already acquired a good
deal of prominence, says Senator Han
ma, and he will not be injured if he
should be defeated by candidate like
Secretary Long.
Hmn,,a's Fight Against Roosevelt.
In making the fight against Roosevelt
Senator Hanna finds the opponents of
Roosevelt divided, some for Long and
some for Dolliver The question of
transferring the vote from one to anoth-
er without nominating the man Whm
they wish to is the difficult problem
tIf we can't do it then we have not
got control Of the convention" said
Senator Hanna. ''If the friends of the
president cannot agree upon a candidate
and by their differences cause the nom
ination Of o man that is not wanted
and does not want the place they will
have to take the responsibility Tor it.
The senator did not believe that there
would be loss of mere than few
votes although Dolliver men in the west
declare they will not vote for Long
and there seems to be q large number !
of eastern men who are now for Long
who say they prefer Roosevelt to Dol
liver. This is one of the chances that
Senator Hanna is willing to take in the
fight he is making.
Hanna and PIntt
The conferences between Senator |
Hanna and Senator Platt were an inter- !
esting feature of the vice presidential |
contest Hanna talked to Platt as he |
had talked to Odell and Quigg the day |
before He told him that because he |
did not want Roosevelt in New York |
was no reason why he should attempt |!
TO force him upon the party on national |
politics. Platt then tried to get an |
agreement from Hanna to support Odell |
and this was refused because un-
